AUSTIN - Whether it’s the Red River Showdown or the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship, whether it's Dallas or Arlington, Texas and Oklahoma rub each other the wrong way.
Texas decided to get outside eyes to help prepare for the conference title game against Oklahoma and Sooners coach Lincoln Riley was not amused.
Riley took exception ahead of Saturday’s game at AT&T Stadium. Texas coach Herman had reached out to recently fired Kansas coach David Beaty, a longtime friend, to provide another set of eyes this week.
Red River Showdown v. 2.0 tensions soon surfaced although nothing to match the spying allegations of the 70s.
