Using the hotly contested football rivalry between the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma to generate donations for the people of Afghanistan
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Oct. 6, 2009 – In a Soviet-era aircraft hangar, a rivalry born during the Battle of the Red River is still alive and well, but now that energy is supporting the Afghan people. AF Maj. Tobin Griffeth, an avid University of Texas fan, and AF Capt. Katie Illingworth, a University of Oklahoma alum., created a personal game honoring the 2 schools' annual football rivalry, which every year is the talk of the 2 bordering states.
