The football rivalry between the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas began in 1900, when the OU team traveled by train to Austin, Texas. The teams first met on the fairgrounds in Dallas, Texas, in 1912 in a game won by Oklahoma. Since 1929, the game has been played annually during the Texas State Fair. The first game in the series in the Cotton Bowl was played in 1937. Each year thousands of Oklahomans cross the Red River to witness one of the greatest rivalries in college football.
