Returning Mateer stumbles, Sooners fall 23-6 to Longhorns in Red River Rivalry
Oklahoma fans who have attended many Red River Rivalries know seemingly how often game turns on turnovers, an explosive kicking game play or a big play that alters momentum.
The 2025 version of the rivalry, in which Texas upset sixth-ranked Oklahoma 23-6, was no exception.
The story line was about Sooners QB John Mateer returning to action a mere 17 days after having surgery on his throwing hand
John Mateer threw for 202 yards, but he also threw three interceptions in his return. Mateer completed 20 of 38 passes and said he felt fine physically. The junior transfer quarterback said he just didn’t play good enough for the Sooners (5-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference).
“The pain level was nothing. I mean there’s no excuse,” said Mateer, who was 20-of-38 passing and sacked five times. “I was ready to go physically, but mentally I just didn’t perform.”
Sooner Fashionista: No ‘horns orange up north
A vacay getaway as I walk the Sooner Runway!
Good Day, my Sooner lovelies! Or as they say at my current location, “Bonjour, mon ami!” Yes, your beloved fashionista is strutting the streets of Winnipeg, Canada as we speak. Brock is here as well. Who else will I get to carry my luggage then give me tootsie massages later? I believe I’ll let him hang around a bit longer.
Now as to Great White fashion. The Canadian people do like their hockey jerseys over football attire, but I have yet to see one dreaded Longhorn rag upon any person and/or animal.
Nor have I seen any orange.
Our Northern neighbors at least have that much fashion sense. I was even able to find a statue of “The Sower” which is very reminiscent of our own glorious sculpture on the Sooner’s hallowed soil.
So, in closing, I can honestly say, even Canadians hate Texas! Resplendent!
What does Brock say?
