OU has dominated that rivalry game for the past 2 decades. Pistol Pete has won only a handful of games. I hate to see it end bc its good for the state and both universities.

The series has roughly a 9:2 ratio wins to losses (for money line betters.)

Aside from dominance from one side to another, everyone can thank the almighty dollar for another college football catastrophe.

Sad day ...for Oklahoma people.....
And rest of us casual fans of rivaries

Don’t know why this couldn’t be the final game during rivalry week. UGA vs GA Tech, Clemson vs S Carolina, Kentucky vs Louisville are all inter conference rivalries.

James Franklin made the comment this week that Penn State isn't going to seek out good P5 schools for home and home series any longer. Playing teams like Auburn just isn't worth the cost long term and it's easily replaced by a G5 school.

Why should OU schedule a team like OSU? They dominated the series, but a win against Tulsa is just as good.

I strongly suspect we'll see a lot of teams canceling future series. There's little reason to play them in a nine game conference schedule.

College Football as we know it is being ruined by things like this and NIL.

Based on the new college football, you're right. Based on the history of college football, the game means a lot to the state of Oklahoma, just like Alabama/Auburn, Georgia/Georgia Tech, Clemson/South Carolina, Florida/Florida State. It's a rivalry and what alumni, fans from the state, and players look forward to. So it means a ton to so many people, just not necesssrily the money men and executives.

True ...so true...
But meaning a lot...and meaning more $ ....are different things...

There is never enough....until the goose is cut open to get more golden eggs...

The rivalries are what make sport...thats why stadiums are full for those games...
When a time when stadiums arent ever full anymore
