Champ Devere writes OU-Texas songs
Champ Devere
As an Oklahoma State University alum, I’m not really into all of the hoopla over the University of Oklahoma-University of Texas football rivalry.
But as a loyal, lifelong Oklahoman, who grew up just 45 miles away from Norman, I am definitely not a Texas fan. I firmly adhere to the belief that our state is far superior in every way to our neighbors to the south.
Besides, burnt orange is ugly. Orange is meant to be bright and bold, not burnt.
In honor of OU-Texas, Norman country-rock duo Champ Devere has written a couple of funny songs, “Bevo Gives Milk” and “Boo Texas.” You can hear them at www.myspace.com/champdevere. They’re still pretty catchy even if OU isn’t your favorite team.
And since the OU-Texas game is at 11 a.m. Saturday and my Cowboys don’t play the Missouri Tigers until 7 p.m., I might take a little time to watch some of the Red River Rivalry and cheer on my fellow Okies against Texas.
OSU-Texas also will be a musical occasion. The Tumbleweed Ballroom in Stillwater is planning for Oct. 23-25 the Red Dirt Rivalry Weekend. It will feature top Stillwater and Austin bands, including Stoney LaRue, The Eli Young Band, No Justice, Reckless Kelly, Nick Gibson, Micky and the Motorcars, The Jason Savory Band, The Band of Heathens, Clint Osmus and the Bushmills and The Turnpike Troubadours.
