Broadcasting from San Antonio, Texas, the Red River Rivalry between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners is getting a lot of run. As big as it is in these parts, however, the rest of the nation doesn’t seem to care, highlighted by College GameDay electing to go to Kansas and TCU instead of the Texas State Fair.

The theme of Hour is is “Out of Bounds and Out of Line”, as LeSean McCoy and Roger Maris Jr. are under fire.
