This exact point became evident to me at the Oklahoma game in Cowboy Stadium. The thing that impressed me the most about the Oklahoma fans was that even the women were getting into it. It was strange seeing girls who wore the team's colors and actually knew what was going on. They were more into to the game than I had ever seen from a female at BYU.
We sat right next to two girls who had gone to the game together with no boys in the group. I don't think you would ever see that from a female BYU fan. They did get very drunk by the end of the game, but they really knew their stuff about football.
