When the Oklahoma Sooners travel south of the border to rematch archrival Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game on December 1st, it’ll be the first in-season Red River Rematch in over a century.

In fact, this extremely rare occurrence has only happened twice before — in 1901 and 1903. Unfortunately for OU, the outcomes of those pair of rematches did not result in victory. In 1901, the Sooners and the Longhorns played a home-and-home series to open and conclude the season. UT won the first meeting in Austin, 12-6, and the rematch in Norman, 11-0. In 1903, the only other time these two historic programs have clashed twice in the same season, Oklahoma tied with Texas in Austin, 6-6, before falling short in Norman, 11-5. With the forward pass available in the upcoming rematch, the Sooners should fare much better.

Peanut gallery put him in rehab. Get well soon Plaino.
Have not seen SoonerinTexas in years, always wondered what happened to him as I liked him. I know he lived in Katy Tx per his profile back in the day. Hope he is still around somewhere.
Busted! But some days, I feel like I'm 100 and others, I feel younger than YOU, Sonshine...Sweet Sixteen! Life is Amazing...Most of the time!
I miss NO ONE More than fitty...This board is NOT the same without him...
Out of curiosity whatever happened to plavaca, at least I think that was his name.
