Longhorns (52-10, 42-13, 52-10 & 52-10) meet OU (57-2, 52-26, 55-14 & 35-10) on October 11 in the Cotton Bowl.

Actor Richard Gere (left) was among those who attended the landmark game, here talking with New York Yankees’ Bobby Abreu (right). I can't believe I had to wait in line behind Richard Gere.
