OSU or Kansas. I went with OSU because playing them twice a year keeps the hatred just a little fresher for me. Though I would be lying if I said I enjoyed beating OSU as much as I enjoying beating the chickenbirds.
 
Definitely OSU, because they claim they are a basketball school and when we beat them at the only major sport they have a chance at, it feels great. I personally could care less bout Texas in basketball because it typically doesn't matter whether we win or lose since you can lose so many and get into the big dance.
 
Kansas. No way is Texas number 1 in basketball.

Why Kansas? OU has played Kansas 19 times since the Big 12 was formed and they are 14-5 against OU, good for a whopping 26% win percentage for the Sooners since the Big 12 was formed. Overall, OU has a 32% win percentage against the Jayhawks... Some rivalry. Its not a rivalry, its an ass kicking.

Meanwhile, OU is 16-14 against OSU since the Big 12 formed. It is a much more intense and competitive series than OU sneaking a win against KU 26% of the time, lol.

The OU-KU series is a freakin' joke.

Odd choice of words there. I think all of our wins over them have been legit. I expect OU to do better against them in the near future with Capel at the helm.

Why did you put it as a choice then if it is "some rivalry" and an "ass kicking"? Their ridiculous fans make it a rivalry to me. There is no other team that I would rather beat than KU.

There is no reason for you to act like a punk about this topic.

Because when OU fans say we have a rivalry with Kansas it sounds like OSU fans saying OU is a huge rival in football. Its not a rivalry when you win 26% of the time.

KU has beaten OU 5 straight times, including a 30 point thrashing. They also won by 17 in that span. The most OU has even beaten KU by in the Big 12 was 9 points.

I didnt, its not my thread. It wouldnt be a choice if it were my thread.
 
losing to kansas in the championship game is far worse than all the losses to osu put together. its more of a hatred
 
If anyone was at the Big XII tournament game between OU and OSU they would know the answer. That game was nuts.

Kansas is the most satisfying win. But in basketball Bedlam is it.

Are you answering from an OSU fan's perspective?

If that game in the Ford center had been against Kansas, there would have been just as many OU fans in there....
 
Beating KU may be more satisfying, but that does not make them a bigger rival. OU plays OSU and UT twice a year and they are fairly even series. Those are both rivalries. I would argue that they alternate which is bigger based on implications and players. I would love to say that KU is our biggest rival, but until we have some success against them, I can't.

Is OU even in the Top-5 of KU's biggest rivals?

Probably not, but that doesn't mean that KU isn't one of OU's biggest basketball rivals (see OSU's rivals in football).

I don't see the problem in answering Kansas.

The problem is that OU almost never beats KU, lol.

I mean, its your answer, so answer however you want. Im just trying to show the facts.
