    If you had to admit you went there, what color would your face be?

    Acually its Crimson, and its not white, It's Cream.

    And I don't know why, maybe other Sooner fans could give us the reason :)

    I could respect white and red ... colors in the American flag.

    ... but crimson and cream ... absolutely gay.

    Memo to OU fans (my apologies)


    Q: Why is OU's primary color Crimson?


    (See answer above under "Why is OU's primary color Red?". Don't forget to ask a Tiger fan what "primary" means)

    I know most of the OU fans will have their faces painted "crimson". But if any of the sooners want "cream" on their faces, I'm sure we have some Tiger fans that would be glad to help them out. Hahaha.

    Let me get this straight. Between the Crimson Jerseys and the Crimson Tide they have 20 or so National Titles that won't mean a damn thing Sunday night.

    It's called "history" and "heritage"! LSU's colors came about when the rivalry with Tulane was 2nd to none in this state. Tulane, and their green.....and LSU added the purple and gold--Purple, green and gold are the colors of Mardi Gras.

    You may not like purple--but the Vikings and Lakers certainly don't mind the color combo. And at LEAST we have culture in our color choices. Not much culture in "cream" is there???
