Red River Shootout
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Red River Rivalry.
Overview
The first game in the series was played in 1900, when Oklahoma was still a territory. The game was called the Red River Shootout until the 100th game in 2005, when, sponsored by SBC Communications, the game was officially renamed the SBC Red River Rivalry. "Shootout" was replaced so as not to convey an attitude of condoning gun violence. The following year, with SBC's purchase of AT&T Corporation, the game was renamed the AT&T Red River Rivalry. It was renamed again in 2014 to the AT&T Red River Showdown, before Allstate secured naming rights in 2023, and changed the name to the Allstate Red River Rivalry. The terms Red River Shootout and Red River Showdown are also applied to meetings between the two schools in all other sports.
