I was reading an article on the "AT&T Red River Rivalry" coming up this weekend, and I decided to wikipedia the strange change in name. Apparently, back in 2005, SBC became the offical sponser of the rivalry, so they pre-fixed the name of the game with their own. As if having a corporate sponser put their name on the rivalry wasn't gay enough, SBC, which is now part of AT&T, demanded the the name used for the rivalry for a 100 years, the Red Rivalry Shootout, be changed because it implied too much violence. Ahhh, the demasculation of America. Anyone got any good ideas for modified versions of our rivalry's name?
