Some people are saying that the Red River Showdown has lost some of its heat this year (it’s me, I’m one of the people saying that) but truly great rivalries don’t need high stakes or undefeated records on the line. Truly great rivalries are about bragging rights, pride, and yes, mercilessly mocking each other.
Twitter users may have noticed Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian trending on Friday and wondered whether it was because of the latest news surrounding Texas’ ongoing saga at quarterback or perhaps a controversial comment made by the Longhorns’ head coach. It turns out Sarkisian was trending thanks to a good old fashioned roasting session by Oklahoma fans.
Sooners Twitter decided to start off Red River Showdown weekend with a series of increasingly absurd jokes about weird or goofy things they imagine Sarkisian does. There’s an abundance to choose from so we’ve highlighted a few of the best for you below.
