To kick off Texas-OU week, we present Quick's fifth-annual Red River Rap Battle. This year, the battle divides one of D-FW's best hip-hop duos, AwkQuarius. So it's Pikahsso (rapping for Oklahoma) and Tahiti (rapping for Texas), in a track that was produced by VohnBeatz, the 11-year-old whiz kid.

PIKAHSSO
TAHITI
Let the games begin, it's the Red River battle
Longhorns will get torn, you heard that like cattle
You know Pikahsso will win it with ease
Crimson and cream gave your team the mad cow disease
Longhorns on point just like push pins
I rep Texas like Jenna of the Bush twins
We on the goal line pushing
Your dome gets mushed in like they're seat cushions
Y'all wack, in fact, we'll break down your line
Get sacked and coach Mack gon' start crying
You'll fumble and crumble, our defense is a mob
Antwan on the lawn, ate up like corn Cobb
Sorry Sooners, it ain't your time
Y'all been jumping the line since 1889
This ain't Rodgers and Hammerstein
UT leaves you silent like pantomime
So sick, we move quick, Bob Stoops got the plan
"Hi Rickety" scream Texas fans in the stands
Y'all quarterback lacks skills, so make him waterboy
At the game he'll be shamed, cause we the real McCoys
OU better back down or Mack Brown
Is gonna hand ol' Bob Stoops a smackdown
Your QB saw a light and heard a crack sound
Another sack got him lying on his back now
OK, don't play, we gon' achieve our goals
Y'all milk will get spilled and fill the Cotton Bowl
Our team got steam that y'all can't endure
My guys will fertilize and use you for manure
Longhorns 'bout to do what it do
OU couldn't beat BYU
Texas don't want to be like you
So please don't cry when we beat you
Oh, man, understand, your colors are so odd
Orange-white don't look right, I'm changing it to mauve
Now think -- hot pink is what you gonna wear
You'd look tight with red-and-white ribbons in your hair
We gonna be in the end zone all day
Dancing with the stars like Tom DeLay
Sooners is laying there, still on the Earth
Stone cold, fool, like Brian Bosworth
Thank God, Pom Squad be raising up the spirit
We enjoy to destroy and Texas knows they fear it
The crowd yells loud, Sooners are the best
By the half that calf gon' mooove off your chest
Collapse your defense like an economy
Our running backs cut lines like a lobotomy
Run up the score and ruin your day
Laughing on the side with Matthew McConaughey
I came to bring pain and get into ya mind
"Hook 'em horns" will transform into a Boomer sign
When I spit don't forget to put it on your TiVo
I'm through, OU is branded on Bevo
OU needs to beat it like Ringo
You wanna win, go to Choctaw Bingo
Plus you won't get a ring, yo
You'll be singing a sad song like Placido Domingo
S is for Skill. When mixed with enough luck and money, it might just win you a big stuffed animal. There are several different skill games along the state fair midway. You can try to pop balloons, toss rings, race horses or shoot out stars.
