Love it! No suites, just raw hot sweaty emotion. The only game of its kind where millionaires and billionaires are shoulder to shoulder with us common folk!
@@thomasword9473 If so, I'm not aware. Either way, they did it to be politically or socially correct, which isn't a good or justifiable reason to change it. Especially considering how announcers and sports commentators everywhere commonly use "shootout" as a description for various games every weekend.
I agree. It’s the most beautiful scenery in college football, as far as rivalries go. The tradition uniforms and that sun shinning bright. Just beautiful.
I am a third generation OU graduate. I have attended 48 straight OU vs Texas regular season football games starting in 1976. In my opinion, there is not a better setting than the Cotton Bowl, during the state fair, for the greatest rivalry in college football.
The Oklahoma Sooners football stadium, according to Gus Johnson, is the "Palace on the Prairie"! Gus has been to many venues in college football as a announcer, I will leave his quote on OU's home field up to your imagination!!!!
@@themadlad8540I was almost offended and sent into a rage by this comment then I remembered I'm not some homer that refers to the longhorn program as we or the stadium as mine. You missed me entirely with that. Something tells me you do though. Anyways, I'll give you a do over if you and your teammates aren't too busy getting ready for y'all's appearance in the Vagisil Bowl.
The stadium helps make the atmosphere so great. That old school compact stadium makes it magical. Actually wish more new stadiums were built the same way.
My problem is that the Dallas area gets a gigantic boost to their economy due to the game every year and Oklahoma receives none of it. Yeah, OU and Texas both receive money from the state fair, but the boost in revenue that Dallas gets from the game stays in Texas.
I used to feel the same way as you do. As I have gotten older I have learned to appreciate that sometimes money just isn't that important in some matters; and in my opinion, this is one of them. Boomer!
Before the latest round of renovations, after the game Berry Tramel of The Daily Oklahoman wrote an article about OU-Texas at the Cotton Bowl. It read something like this: "The seat are hard to get in and out of, ingress and egress to the stadium is terrible, the concessions suck, the bathrooms leak and the facade is crumbling. In other words, it is PERFECT." The 2024 game will be my 48th straight.
So glad to see this rivalry staying in the Cotton Bowl. College football has lost so much history and pageantry since all the conference realignment started. Oh yeah, and screw Jerry Jones, he’s a Razorback! 😂
Why would we stop playing in the only stadium in the world, built (originally) for just one yearly game? It would be an insult to not play the game there.
@amars7941 no it is not. You don't realize how little money Oklahoma get from the Casinos. The only saving grace is a few of the tribes actually invest in the local community. I live not far from a casino and they do nothing for the community and barely anything for their own tribe.
Josh, you hit it on the head! Mich vs da buck nuts, might be the all time rivalry! BUT, NOTHING comparers to OU vs Tex as the quintisentional "sp" rivalry! Neutral field, half OU, half texas! The terxas state fair, both bitter rivals, IT does not get better than this match up! Always something at stake, braggin rights for one year, recruiting rights for fertile texas players! It could go on, and on! BOOMER!
What else are they going to do? Having the game at the Cotton Bowl during the state fair is the biggest part of the game, what makes it unique. If you take that away, it is just another inter conference rivalry.
I love the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and don’t want it to change but I do think it would be pretty cool to have a one-off home and home series at some point.
Not a fan of either school, but yeah, it's the best rivalry environment in the sport. It's a bit sacreligious that it's now in the SEC. Feels like it was stolen from Texas by Southerners. They still feel way out of place in the state. There's some cultural comraderie, but Texas will always be its own thing, and with UT and A&M in the SEC, it feels like the state is tainted.
@@RadioStaringI live in Dallas and go to the fair of TX often. It is crawling with cops and security. Stayed at the fair after dark many many times. No problems. After midnight? Ok you have a point. But after dark is just fine
Cool. Is this part of the new SEC that ESPN rigs college football in their favor. Use to watch this game every year, won’t watch again until ESPN is untied with the SEC. Neither should fans of any conference other than the SEC.
Well, unfortunately non of that money is going to seating. From the local Dallas news media clip I watched, they specifically said that, and that it's going towards things like bathrooms, concessions, and I think the press box.
Isn't it strange that they're raising taxes to pay for the $140 million in Cotton Bowl upgrades, and then still reaping the profit rewards from attendees? Could you imagine any of us commoners having that privilege? Duping customers and non-customers into paying extra for maintenance on your store building, on top of paying out the ass for your product? And according to the news segment I watched, those upgrades won't be for seating. But supposedly for the press box, concessions, and bathroom upgrades. 🤔 Makes you wonder how much will be spent on the press box/media team's accommodations as opposed to the fan's accommodations.
I think the committee might have inadvertently given us the best matchup of the playoffs and they aren’t even in the running 😂 That Georgia/FSU game could be the actual natty game. I’m real curious how they look against each other.
I just hate that you have to fight the game crowd PLUS the fair crowd early in the morning. Way too many people. They at least need to move kickoff to 230
In no way is keeping the game at the Texas state fair is a massive win for College football. It has no impact on College football. And this is coming from a massive OU fan.
Incorrect. You have not been to any other college rivalry games. This is easily the best venue for a rivalry. I've been to all of them across the country . No comparison. Split stadium is perfect
@@amars7941 Oklahoma plays Texas in Texas. Normally they play top Florida schools in Florida. Rarely do they play National relevant games in a "neutral" site. Oklahoma deserves home and home with Texas to avoid every major clash in a hostile environment
@@TerrySleuth North Texas, specifically Dallas is full of Oklahomans and rarely hostile to people from north of the border. As a side point, economically, it is true that Texas benefits directly from the game this financial bump is offset by all the tens of millions of Texas dollars spent at OK casinos. So that's a wash. Hostile? I don't think so, unless your use of hostile is a euphemism for something else.
the stadium is literally half and half'd it being played in Texas doesn't change anything, there's roughly the same amount of Oklahoma fans as Texas fans in the stadium every year, almost as if they are to the biggest brands and all of college football with two of the biggest fanbases

Best rivalry in cfb. I've seen 20 and lots of other rivalry games. Just incredible event
Love it! No suites, just raw hot sweaty emotion. The only game of its kind where millionaires and billionaires are shoulder to shoulder with us common folk!
This is by far the best rivalry in college football, happy it’s staying at the state fair where it belongs
Not even gonna be the best rivalry in the SEC😭😭
I’d rather have a home and home than Jerry’s world. College football’s best rivalry doesn’t belong in an air conditioned stadium with cushioned seats.
It’s Jerry World. Not Jerry’s World. You don’t call it “Disney’s World”.
Jerry world doesn’t have cushioned seats
Good thing its not college football's greatest rivalry
@@vols-deepTexas and Oklahoma are not in the Midwest.
No stupid we do not want a home at home we want to keep it at the cotton bowl
No other rivalry has this atmosphere. Glad to see it staying in the Cotton
Army v Navy is the best
Washington Huskies vs Oregon Ducks and Washington State vs Washington are pretty Big rivalries as well.
A deeply sincere thank you for being the only talking-head still calling it the Red River Shootout.
Didn’t they stop calling it that because a couple fans got into it there and someone was shot? I heard that but not sure it’s true. Lol

I’m so happy That The Red River Rivalry is staying in the Cotton Bowl.
Best rivalry game in college football, by far.
This is an incredible game.
Ive been to OSU-MIchigan, Bama-Auburn, Florida-Georgia and Texas-OU. Texas-OU was the best environment by far.
I agree. It’s the most beautiful scenery in college football, as far as rivalries go. The tradition uniforms and that sun shinning bright. Just beautiful.
we love the Cotton Bowl, I am so happy it's back
Great news on the best College Football Traditon
This warms my heart. Still get as excited when the teams come out the tunnel as my 1st OU/tejas game in 1984.
I am a third generation OU graduate. I have attended 48 straight OU vs Texas regular season football games starting in 1976. In my opinion, there is not a better setting than the Cotton Bowl, during the state fair, for the greatest rivalry in college football.
Ive been watching Texas since i was about 10 years old 1998ish and i legitimately dont know wtf the wagon peoples stadium looks like...

Consider it the tax OU has to pay for the majority of their roster being players from Texas.
Change it back to red river shootout

The Cotton Bowl is the only bowl that was built specifically for the UT/OU game.
Thing is, all the money goes to the state of Texas.
You got casinos and all that Texas money goes there. It's a wash.
