Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops had an interesting story he told at his press conference Tuesday about the greeting his team receives when it arrives at Fair Park in Dallas, several hours before playing its annual game at the Cotton Bowl.
"I know they treated us better in 1999 and then in 2000 and it hasn't been real cordial after that," Stoops said, chuckling. "But that's OK. It's fans being fans, and it's quite humorous, actually."
Stoops lost his first game to the Longhorns in 1999 before running off a five-game winning streak that started in 2000 with a 63-14 victory that helped spark the Sooners to the national championship that season. He is 6-3 against Texas and Mack Brown in his career.
