The feud between Oklahoma and Texas has only one clear winner. If
you know one thing, you know that Texans love Texas. They love to be from
Texas, they love to talk about Texas and they have a laundry list of reasons of
why Texas is greater than anything else in this entire world. But, this is Oklahoma and Texas just sucks. This is in no way related to
OU/TX, but if you thought it was I won't deny it. I am not biased. Oklahoma is just better than Texas. And
I am going to tell you why.
Oklahomans
are nice. It is so rare to find good,
genuine and caring people in this world, and Oklahoma has an entire state full
of them. You need a door opened for you?
Got it. You are going through a tough
time? Prayers and homemade meals are heading your way. Need to chat?
Life advice, deep conversation, and laughter is just a phone call away.
Generosity flows abundantly in this great state, and that is something I do not
take for granted.
Austin
is weird and they advertise it, themselves. Even Texas knows that Oklahoma is better.
Not
counting weddings and homecomings, nothing makes my eyes water like an OU
football introduction video. The heart
pounding, tear jerking, emotional rollercoaster that ends with a strong burst
of pride would be enough to bring you to your knees, if not for the obligation
you feel to stand and show your support of the team. There is tradition,
leadership, and resounding confidence emitted from that video that fills the
hearts of all OU fans. We just do it better.
If
we are going to stay on the topic of football, let’s just talk about Trevor
Knight for a hot second. We all know
he has a girlfriend, but if Katy Perry can ask him to call her, I can briefly
write about him for my small handful of readers. That jaw line! It is strong, it is mature and it is wise
beyond its years -- all things that Texas
is not and will forever hope to be.
Sorry guys, even our Trevor’s jaw-line is better than you.
Do
we even need to talk about that burnt orange? Probably not.
Back
to football. We have more national
championships, more Heisman winners, more All-Americans. We win, Texas loses.
But, we already knew that.
Even if we’re not talking about football, OU
does it better. Yes, OU parking is not the shining moment of anyone’s day, but
it still beats Texas’ parking. We have
a better professor-to-student ratio, which is important regarding learning and
becoming positive members of society, and we all know that Texas students are
not such members. And, yeah, we are
smaller, but that just means better relationships for you, but still having all
the opportunities of any other campus. This brings me to OU’s (David Boren’s) pride and joy -- National Merit
Scholars and study abroad. OU has the
most, and we have the best programs. Need
I say more?
All
in all, Oklahoma is the greatest. Oklahoma is more than
OK, it’s home.
