Dave Portnoy Sidelines Michigan to Cheer for Oklahoma Following Their Triumph Over Texas

What better way to start off the season than with a record 5-0 win? The narrative has been redefined and clear that the Oklahoma Sooners had outplayed the Texas Longhorns by a fair margin. The crucial win took the Sooners back in charge of the situation, sending them into the Big 12 title.

Dillon Gabriel sailed the Sooners swiftly to win the match, which did not seem as easy at the beginning. As the team celebrated the great win over the Longhorns, even Michigan graduate Dave Portnoy couldn’t help himself longing for the Oklahoma Sooners.

Dave Portnoy found his new favorite team

Days after acing their win against the Texas Longhorns, the Sooners posted a six-minute long, energy-loaded video on Twitter. Right after the post, Dave Portnoy retweeted the video and quoted, “I just became an OU fan.”

Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, has always found himself on the “wrong” side of a debate. After all the unrest amidst the controversies revolving around him, it finally seems like he has found his favorite team, the Oklahoma Sooners. And apart from the win, the Sooners not only got into Dave Portnoy’s good books, but they’ve also kept the long-lost rivalry.

The Red River Rivalry

The Red River Rivalry is nothing like a usual rivalry between two teams. It’s a college football game between Texas and Oklahoma, two neighboring states with a long history of competition. The game is played every year at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, during the Texas State Fair. The winner of the game receives the Golden Hat trophy, a gold ten-gallon hat.

The game is one of the oldest and most intense rivalries in college sports, dating back to 1900. The game has featured some memorable moments, controversial calls, and national championship implications. Some of the notable players who have participated in the game include Earl Campbell, Vince Young, Sam Bradford, and Kyler Murray. The game is more than just a game; it is a tradition that showcases the passion and pride of both schools and their fans.
