Careful Who You Cheer For!

The Texas Tech and Oklahoma game Saturday night has made this a weird week for college football fans, especially those who follow the Texas Longhorns. Texas Tech is playing in another one of their "Biggest Games" in program history, and if your a Texas fan, you may have no choice but to cheer for Oklahoma. How crazy is that? A win by Oklahoma would put Texas right back in the hunt for a National Championship.

I asked Cowboys Wide Receiver Roy Williams, a Texas Ex, if he would be cheering for Oklahoma this weekend, and he would only say "I'll be watching the game."

Leonard Davis, another Texas Ex, confirmed that he will be cheering for Oklahoma Saturday night, but he wasn't real crazy about it.

"I'm always rooting for Texas Tech," says Cowboys Linebacker Zach Thomas. As a graduate of Texas Tech, Thomas says "I'm excited that they're even in this situation. We never had Tech in this situation so I'm very excited for the program, and I'm really glad they're taking it to the next level."

There is one place where there is no question who folks are pulling for and that's Ennis, Texas. That's the hometown of Texas Tech Quarterback Graham Harrell.
