Red River Rivalry Advantage?
Ok, as a Tech fan, I may be biased, but the current situation in college football and all the scenarios got me thinking and I think its a legit umtion. The "neutral" site of Dallas seems to be an unfair advantage to both teams in some ways because isnt it virtually a home game for Texas every year? I've watched the game this year and alot of Okies come, but the ratio isnt even close to what it would be had it been in Norman. Home games are extremely crucial and Texas not having to play in Norman every other year while all other teams do seems to be an advantage. Even if the fans were 50-50 texas and oklahoma, its still not like the 90-10 ratio, had it been an actual home game. Again very unfair. Texas MAY have lost to Oklahoma had it been in Norman right? maybe not but still. This is all considering you can agree that home crowds can influence games. As a Tech fan headed to Norman, I would LOVE to have the game in Dallas, I feel being away from one of the hardest stadiums in the country would be extremely helpful. Sooner fans like it in Dallas? The half way city being there, which is the home of the University of Texas Arlington by the way. UT has a campus there..Idk. Think from other teams perspective. Great game, great tradition but Texas is glad they don't have to go to Norman. Oklahoma may be glad not to go to Austin, but they never get the upper hand advantage of having the majority of the fans present. Theres no doubt its somewhat helpful right?
