There’s a rivalry game being played in North Texas this weekend, in case you didn’t already hear.
For the first time since 1903 — two years after the inaugural playing of what is today known as the Red River Showdown — Oklahoma and Texas football will meet for a second time in a single season as the Sooners and Longhorns gear up for the 2018 Big 12 Championship Game set to be played Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
It’s the first time the two teams have ever met outside of the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas since 2009.
