I grew up in Big 12 country and currently live there again, so I've seen some rather boorish OU fans. I haven't had any bad encounters with Oklahoma State fans, and my impression from others is that it's really OU fans who are the terrible, vitriol-spewing fans of lore. I should mention that I live in Texas.
A former teammate of mine from the men's crew was from Chickasha, OK. He finished his PhD from Caltech a year or two ago and is a stand-up guy, mostly an OSU fan rather than an OU fan, I suppose. I found that out after ribbing him a bit about the OU-Texas game soph or jr year and then realizing that it was as if someone were talking trash to me about A&M, whose football team I have very little affinity.
Kudos to OSU for beating the tar out of OU, and sincere condolences for the student critically injured during the post-game celebration. (How is s/he doing?)
