This week sees the renewal of one of the Big 12’s most odd series as Texas Tech travels to Norman, Oklahoma to face the Oklahoma Sooners. Though the two teams have met only 22 times, this rivalry has provided some spectacularly controversial and memorable moments.
The two schools did not meet until 1992, just four years prior to the inaugural season of the Big 12. On that day, the Sooners rolled into Lubbock and handed Spyke Dykes’ team a 34-9 loss. The teams would meet again in the Sun Bowl just one season later and unfortunately for Texas Tech, the results were similar.
