Oklahoma Tops Texas

Oklahoma Tops Texas

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
