... we will be serenaded by all the Horns thumping their chests bragging about "all-time records" against the Sooners. However, at this time, while acknowledging the Horns winning records against most of their regular competition, a few items should be pointed out:
1) Utex owns two wins against my alma mater SWOSU (1926 and 1927). Does it feel good knowing that some of your "legendary" wins came against colleges that are just now NCAA division II?
2) Utex owns four wins (1897, 1898 twice, and 1920) and one loss (1919) against my dad's alma mater Phillips University, which has been defunct since 1998? A loss to a theological seminary? Bet you're REAL proud of that one!
3) Many, many of Utex's all-time wins came against other such fierce competition as Army posts, the Houston Town Team, and high schools. In one of their undefeated years, they didn't have a coach! Perhaps they ought to consider going that route again.
4) If considering post-1950 as the "modern era", Utex is 26-24-3 against OU. OU leads 7-3 in national championships.
5) If considering post-Utex's last national championship (1970), OU is 16-14-2 against Utex and has four national championships.
6) Finally, who else besides Utex has an edible mascot?
a) BU = you'd have to be awfully hungry to eat a bear.
b) TAMU = Collies are people. Not edible.
c) TTU = Red Raiders are people. Not edible.
d) OU = Sooners are people. Not edible.
e) OSU = Cowboys are people. Not edible.
f) KU = Eating a Jayhawk would be like eating a crow.
g) KSU = Never ate a member of the cat family, so can't judge how tasty they'd be.
h) MU = Never ate a member of the cat family, so can't judge how tasty they'd be.
i) ISU = Big wind. Not edible.
j) NU = Cornhuskers are people. Not edible.
k) CU = Buffaloes (bison) are quite tasty.
l) UT = Longhorns are quite tasty.
m) SWOSU = Bulldogs are people. Eating Brandy (the name of our mascot) would be like eating Reveille.
