The Red River Showdown is one of the greatest sporting rivalry games in the world, and with the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners transitioning to the SEC this year, it “Just Means More” than ever before.
Can’t be there in person to enjoy the spectacle? Prefer to listen to the Texas broadcast rather than the national feed? Here’s how to listen to the game on the radio.

The game’s placement at the heart of the state fair, the 50:50 split of burnt orange and crimson and cream, and the deep-seated hatred of each other make this a can’t-miss spectacle.

Texas enters the Red River Rivalry this year as the number-one team in the country, on a collision course with the SEC Championship Game and College Football Playoff. Steve Sarkisian’s team has been ruthless on offense (whether behind Quinn Ewers or Arch Manning) and stingy on defense. The result has been an imperious march to a 5-0 record.
As a result, the College Football Network Football Playoff Meter gives the Longhorns an 83.5% chance of emerging with a 64th victory over their bitter rivals. That said, the Longhorns haven’t played a defense as stingy as the Sooners’ unit under head coach Brent Venables. Meanwhile, the underdog always rises to the occasion when the Red River Showdown comes around.
Calling the game for Texas on the radio this weekend will be Craig Way, Roger Wallace, and Will Matthews. Way is in his 23rd season as the play-by-play announcer for the Longhorns and mixes his commitments to the Longhorns with hosting “High School Scoreboard Live.” Wallace provides analysis alongside him, while Matthews provides sideline reporting on game day.
