Norman Fitzroy Maclean was an American author and scholar noted for his book "A River Runs Through It." In the movie rendition of his book, there is a profound statement about how rivers reveal the history of time.
My thoughts focused on the essence of time as told by the Red River. The quote goes:
"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words…." (OU STILL SUCKS).
Of course, I don't feel that way most of the time, but today I do!
The whole story of the Texas-OU rivalry from 1900 to present is primarily a rivalry of young Texans playing for different states. It has always been hard for me to understand why any great athlete would choose Norman, Oklahoma over Austin, Tx. But they do, and over the last 15 years, the Sooner Texans have embarrassed the Horn Texans many times.
We have to change that scenario, and I hope this weekend is the beginning of the end of Oklahoma's domination of the Horns.
