It all happened this past August, in Oklahoma City; although the repercussions have stayed with many of us to this day (crosses legs uncomfortably).

A judge has ordered a man to stand trial on a felony assault charge for a bar confrontation that escalated from football trash talking to a near castration. Allen Michael Beckett will be tried on a charge of aggravated assault and battery. The 53-year-old man is accused of tearing the scrotum of 32-year-old Brian Thomas after Beckett taunted Thomas for wearing a University of Texas shirt into a bar popular with fans of the Oklahoma Sooners. The trial is set for April 16.

If you haven't clicked on the original story yet, it's much more graphic. Sorry. Enjoy the rest of your day, guys!

Oklahoma Fan To Stand Trial For Injuring Texas Fan In Bar Fight [Dallas Morning News]

An Oklahoma fan has been charged with felony aggravated assault and battery for attacking a man simply for wearing a Longhorns shirt into a bar. And when we say attack, we really mean attack. Beware, sports fans: It's about to get rather uncomfortable in your cubicle.

Thomas said Beckett, whom he had never met, called him "everything under the sun" for wearing a Longhorns T-shirt into the bar. He said he and his friend sat at a table in the corner and tried to ignore the other man, but other man kept screaming at him. Thomas said he decided he'd had enough after about 20 minutes of Beckett's abuse so he went to the bar to pay his tab. When he turned around, he said Beckett grabbed his crotch and refused to let go.

Thomas hit the other man several times before several bar patrons intervened, but Thomas said Beckett didn't let go until Thomas heard his scrotum tear and blood ran down his leg.

Uh, yeah ... Hook 'em Horns? Somebody? Anybody?
