Oklahoma Sooners to play one of the biggest games of the year on the most popular wedding date of the year

There will be no renewing vowels, waiting at the alter, or having that I Do kiss on October 12, when the Oklahoma Sooners take on the Texas Longhorns for their annual rivalry game better known as the Red River Rivalry.

These two fan bases and schools hate one another, and that's no secret. It is one of the most storied and intense rivalries in college football, and you can make a case that it's No. 1. The rivalry began in 1900, making it one of the oldest in college football. The first game was played in Dallas, which has remained the traditional site for the game, except for a brief period during World War II.

The game is typically played at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The neutral site adds to the unique atmosphere of the rivalry, as fans from both universities travel to Dallas, often turning the city into a sea of burnt orange (Texas) and crimson (Oklahoma).

The Red River Rivalry is more than just a football game; it's a cultural phenomenon that encapsulates the spirit of competition, tradition, and community in college sports. And this matchup, well, the intensity will reach a new level, just when we didn't think that was possible.

These two teams are entering their inaugural season in the SEC , where the competition is at an all-time high. It's the toughest conference in football, and the Sooners and Longhorns could both be gunning for a playoff spot by the year's end.

So, there is a lot at stake in this game. There's also going to be a lot at stake for a ton of couples around the world.

According to The Knot, one of the biggest wedding sites in the world, October 12, the same day that the rivalry game is to be played, is the biggest wedding date of the year, with millions of people around the world set to get married on that date.

So, I guess those people will be missing potentially one of the best games of the year. Then again, if you're a fan of either of those teams, you already knew not to have your wedding that day.
