Back and forth

Back and forth - back and forth. One year it's OU, the next it is Texas. This football series is fantastic and this title really lays it all out there. If you love UT or OU, get this book. You may also want to check out: UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports By the Numbers). If you love OU football, you will love both these books.

History of Longhorn vrs OU

Wonderful read, got for a gift and he has loved reading all about the history, says it is very neat to learn where it all began!

A book Sooners and Horns can appreciate

Don't get misled by that nasty orange dustcover, this is a fun and rowdy read for both Sooner and Horn fans as well as for anyone who wants to get a taste of the most colorful sports rivalry in America. Shropshire's witty essays give insight into the culture of both locker rooms and include some stories that even diehard fans will not have heard. Don't read this book in bed--my wife finally got tired of being awakened by my laughter and took refuge in the guestroom. Two corrections for the author: 1)it was OU President George Lynn Cross, not President Bill Banowsky, who first told the regents that "he wanted to build a university that the football team could be proud of" and 2)it is the Oklahoma-Texas rivalry, not the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry.
