OU didn't beat UT in 1951 and UT has longer winning streaks against OU than OU has against UT.

How about this one:

2006 USC message board mods summarily delete all posts by Longhorns in which Horns predicted how VY would carve up the USC D in the 4th Q, including my own 19 predictions -- almost all of which came true or basically true.

As for USC, how about 2005 Matt Leinart commits multiple violations, but doesn't get penalized. Or how about Pete Carroll runs up the score on helpless teams in the 4th Q, so that Reggie Bush can get the Heisman? Or how about Greek restauranteer is told he cannot violate NCAA regulations by participating in recruiting? Or how about Pete Carroll decides that Reggie Bush should be on the sideline, during a crucial 4th down try? Or how about Drew Kelson, who didn't even start for Texas at LB until recently, and is far from our fastest player, plays inside Reggie Bush's jersey, covering him stride for stride? Or how about USC loses bowl game only 14.5 miles (as the car drives) from their practice field?
