Nebraska Oklahoma
Something happened today, something BAD. Before anything else I would like to explain something very, very important: to the die-hard Big 12 football fans, the Nebraska Oklahoma thing is something that must not be mentioned, especially if you’re a fence-sitter. Because with these people, it’s either one or the other. And if you don’t pick a side (or, more importantly, the side of the fan you happen to be conversing with) in the Nebraska Oklahoma rivalry, you will find yourself in really big trouble. Because the fans will try to convince you to join their side. And they will not stop until you agree with them, or until you get arrested for being in a fist-fight with them.
Of course, that’s just my experience, but sue me if most of my experience of being involved in a sports argument happens in a bar. In any case, one of my brothers – one that isn’t related by blood – got into a fight with a couple of Oklahoma guys who were visiting Donna. The conversation got steered toward the Big 12 Nebraska Oklahoma rivalry, and before we knew it, there were punches and some blood-spitting. The worst part was that Sammy saw some of it before I managed to drag him out of the room.
Donna was, of course, furious, and threw them out of our home. Then the Nebraska Oklahoma rivalry was forbidden from being mentioned.
