Oklahoma, Texas Football Fans Fight At Applebee's (VIDEO)

An argument over college football between fans of Big 12 rival teams resulted in a knife fight at an Applebee's restaurant that sent two men to the hospital, according to San Antonio TV station KENS.

Per the report, the argument escalated when a 29-year-old Oklahoma Sooners fan pulled a knife out and attacked a 22-year-old Texas Longhorns fan.

According to the police report, the altercation happened just before midnight on Monday and the victim sustained a cut to his wrist. KNES reported that the Sooners fan suffered stab wounds on his stomach and both are in stable condition at the hospital.

Fights between college football fans are seen far too often recently. Last year, about 40 USC and UCLA fans brawled before a football game, leaving two with stab wounds and two police officers with minor injuries.

In September, a group of college students fought in the stands during a University of Miami football game against Florida A&M.

UT went 5-7 last year; they're already plenty suffering. No need to knife a guy when he's down.

This is *NOT* what "Eating Good in the Neighborhood" is all about... The voice of John Corbett is very disappointed in these two individuals!

This isn't surprising at all. Sporting events are like being in shark tanks.

The Red River Rivalry is a big deal to UT and OU fans. But a knife fight? Really?

It's a game people. Grow up.

they were lucky it was only a knife fight, given the schools and states involved.

The Auburn tree poisoning and knife fights by college sports fans . . . . are any of these "fans" actual students or alumni of these rival institutions?

[MrUnlimited]

12:52 PM on 08/03/2011

Yeah, many of them are likely alumni/students...have you ever been on the campus of a serious sports school? The school spirit can get really crazy sometimes!

Yeah, I did and severe drunkenness aside. . . . weapons outside of fists, boots, rock pelting (at police) and yes destruction of property - knives, guns, poison and the like were not ever associated with our student body or matriculated Alumni.

"crazy", violent . . . yes; knife fight violent . . . not so much.

suprisingly, yes... I went to a USC(carolina) vs Clemson game... Like it was Birmingham City vs Aston Villa FC

That's nothing! Check out West End in Dallas on the eve of the Red River Shootout! The DPD actually sets aside a little warehouse around the corner for the students/fans who don't know how to act... it ALMOST makes you feel sorry for them when they're not going to be able to attend the game that they certainly shelled out big bucks for.

No mention in this article whether alcohol was involved, but given the time in the evening, I'm guessing there had been. College football season has not even started yet.

Dude - it's an Applebee's. You don't go there for the food.

[GraceNotes]

03:59 PM on 08/04/2011

Faux food, and a faux bar with frou-frou drinks. I can't believe any true Oklahoma or Texas cowboy would be caught dead at Applebee's.

Oklahoma fans are so frustrated...having made it to the championship game several times with no success. Their coaches need to loosen up and have a drink every now and then.....

Funny but inaccurate. Oklahoma has been there four times, but they did in fact win it in 2000.
