Dallas Is Increasing State Troopers For Red River Rivalry
Ah, yes the Red River Rivalry has come. For many Tarrant and Dallas County residents this is the biggest game of the year. However, with a big football game comes many people and many drunk drivers. In anticipation of the thousands of fans from the universities of Texas and Oklahoma, the Department of Public Safety will be stepping up patrols along the major interstates feeding the Cotton Bowl. Troopers will patrol IH-35, IH-45 and IH-20, and will be looking for drunk drivers, speeders, aggressive drivers and those not wearing safety belts. The increased patrols will run from Friday morning through Sunday night.
I’m sure fans are ecstatic about this weekend. If you are going to be drinking this weekend, please plan ahead. Take a cab or public transportation. Or make sure you have a designated driver. Whatever you do, just don’t drink and drive.
Ross Jurewitz, a San Diego Injury Lawyer and avid UT fan, has entered into an interesting bet about the game with a friend or his who is a OU fan. The loser must display the other team’s logo on their Facebook profile for a week. Click to read about the Texas-Oklahoma Facebook Bet.
