Some Good Ole' Texas Schadenfreude
As you would probably suspect, many Oklahoma rivals are having some fun with this Rhett Bomar no-show job business, and nobody's going crazier with it than the Hook 'Ems of Texas. They've had a little photoshop contest on a Longhorns message board, and they're having all kinds of fun....

More Corporations Fighting Over Our Cash
