I did spend the day in Fort Worth (Due to the fact I was to hung over to go to the game ) But then when UT won I hit Dallas up and had a massive night as you point out it was the first time UT beat OU in 5 years. It was great times...Dallas was full of lovely College Chicks who just loved an Aussie accent
