Fight About Sports at Applebee's Ends with Oklahoma Fan Allegedly Stabbing a Texas Fan

"TV station KENS in San Antonio reported the suspect was an OU fan and that he pulled a knife during the fight and was stabbed with his own blade. The police report lists the weapon as an orange folding pocketknife."

The Tulsa World says the Oklahoma fan is in critical condition. I didn’t know a pocketknife could inflict that much damage, but I haven’t toiled with a pocketknife since I was 11. Are we talking about a swiss army knife here? Because I never found those knives sharp.

This incident brought back memories of a 2007 bar incident, also about the Red River Rivalry, that was significantly more gruesome:

"Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him in the crotch, pulled him to the ground and wouldn’t let go, even as bar patrons tried to break it up. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down and realized the extent of his injuries. “He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body,” said Thomas’ attorney, Carl Hughes. “He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse.” It took more than 60 stitches to close the wound, and police interviewed Thomas at a nearby hospital emergency room."

It’s just football, people. [Tulsa World]
