The hype has returned to the Red River Showdown

Hype is loved as much as it is loathed.

Whether you choose to embrace it or despise it, hype is hard to ignore.

Hype is always loud — often times down right obnoxious — and it’s almost always overwhelming, no matter if you love it or loathe it.

Hype can be a distraction and a motivator, a gift and a curse. Hype is what makes even the most mundane of sporting events feel like the Super Bowl.

Texas and Oklahoma, the Red RIver Showdown — none of it needs additional hype.
