This year's edition of the Red River Rivalry was special. Not only did the Longhorns engineer a two touchdown victory over the Sooners, but a new tradition was born. The first ever Red River Rivalry Flag Football game was played between the Texas Wranglers and the Oklahoma Ruf/Neks. This event was envisioned by Nike and created to celebrate the great tradition between the two universities.
The event was full of surprises. As we gathered at our hotel before the game, Nike representatives unveiled authentic gear that was worn by the Longhorns on gameday. After we suited up, we were then shuttled to the stadium in our very own bus and greeted by over 100 fans. Each player was introduced as they came out of the tunnel and a hard fought game ensued. At the final whistle the Wranglers overpowered the Ruf/Neks 32 - 0.
Thank you Nike for choosing the Texas Wranglers to represent the University of Texas in this new tradition. We are proud and will continue to uphold the high standards of our university.
