OU’s 47-Game Winning Streak is the Longest in College Football...

My desire to see this streak unsurpassed made me root for Texas in the 2005 championship game with USC. I thought USC could threaten the 47 streak if it beat Texas.
I feel so.....dirty.

Call me a dirty name, but I’ll always root for Texas whenever they play Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State or Miami. Other than those crappy schools, I’d go for the Longhorns’ opponent every time. Top five programs I root against in that order.

Please forgive me, but I used to root for Texas when they played Nebraska. Only because I live in Nebraska and hate everything that has anything to do with the Cornstinkers.

I was at Owen Field and saw the loss to nd that preceded the win streak.

Fast forward: I graduated (from OU of course). Went to the Army. (Korea). Came home, got a job, got engaged.

The next game I saw was at Owen Field....the loss to nd.

Bookends.

So.....nd has a special place in my "dislike/hate" register.

Ditto. Possibly one of just two or three times in my life where I ever rooted for the horns. Only because they were playing Miami or USC.
