The AT&T Red River Rivalry (formerly the Red River Shootout) is a common name for the annual college football game between the University of Oklahoma Sooners and the University of Texas Longhorns. The series is considered one of the greatest rivalries in American sports.^[1] The name is derived from the Red River that forms part of the boundary between the U.S. states of Oklahoma and Texas. The game originated in 1900, while Oklahoma was still a United States territory and the Oklahoma campus was still in Oklahoma Territory. Until the 2005 meeting, the 100th meeting between the schools, the game was called the Red River Shootout. In 2005 it was sponsored by SBC Communications, and the game was officially renamed the SBC Red River Rivalry. Since 2006, with SBC’s renaming as AT&T, the game is referred to as the AT&T Red River Rivalry. The term Red River Shootout or Red River Rivalry is also sometimes applied to meetings between the two schools in sports other than football. The game typically has conference or even national significance. Since 1945, one or both of the two teams has been ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation coming into 60 out of 65 games. Texas leads the all-time series 57-39-5, with a 45-35-4 edge in Dallas, and currently has a two-year win streak. Four of the last six showings featured one of the participants in the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game (2000, 2003-2005), including national titles won by Oklahoma in 2000 and by Texas in 2005. Four times during 2000-2004, a loss to Oklahoma was what kept Texas from playing in the Big 12 Championship Game. In 2005, the Dallas Morning News asked the 119 Division 1A football coaches to identify the top rivalry game in college football. The OU-Texas game ranked third.The 2007 match-up between Oklahoma and Texas was predicted to be the #3 game to watch in 2007 by SI.com’s “Top 20 Games To Watch In 2007″ list.
