Tempers flared before the Red River Rivalry even kicked off

The hate between the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns is unmatched.

The No. 6 Sooners and unranked Longhorns met for the 121st time on Saturday at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas. Words and blows are exchanged all game, but tempers flared even before the game kicked off as both teams headed toward the tunnel during pregame.
