Not only is it the biggest game of the year for the players and fans of the two teams, but it typically is one of the biggest games of the year in college football.
The series started in 1900, seven years before Oklahoma officially became a state. In fact, at the time of the first game in the series, neither team was known by its current nickname. Texas easily won the initial encounter, 28-2, and would come out on top in eight of the first 10 games between the two schools.
The first 14 games in the series, except for two years, 1905 and ’06, were played at the two campus sites.
