Two former Longhorn greats join the Longhorns country podcast to discuss the Red River showdown

Texas and Oklahoma are set to kick off from the Cotton Bowl this Saturday in what could be the game that shapes the race for the Big 12 championship. 

Can the Longhorns break their three-game skid against the Sooners and win the inside track to AT&T Stadium in Arlington this December?
