I don't buy any t-shirts but I do have a UT cap. I don't feel like I have because of some kind of infatuation with UT sports but I do like their football and was quite happy when they beat USC for the Nat'l Championship back in the Vince Young era. I saw one of those burnt orange Longhorn caps worn by one of the young wardens on Northwoods Law the other day. Thought that was interesting.
I did pull for Baylor in the recent final 4. I like Texas schools I guess because I;ve lived in Texas over 60 years and consider myself a Texan.
But to answer your question, No, my kids wouldn't go to a Okie school because I'm not gonna pay out of state tuition. Hell, I wouldn't pay for an in-state private school because of the cost.
Get your t-shirt from where ever. I don't like any of the Okie schools particularly. If I was gonna support a non-Texas school with a t-shirt purchase I'd be tempted to support that school in Tuscaloosa or maybe the one in Baton Rouge. I don't feel strongly about any of them as I said.

Tulane—gets flooded every seven years or so due to hurricanes; but it’s a great school in the biggest party town in the USA. Great place to visit with the best fishing in the continental US 100 miles south in Venice.

I don't feel strongly about any of them as I said. You should have double checked those tuitions. OU was less money then any of the Texas schools even with out of state tuition. That was 12 to 15 years ago.

My sister in law went to Ole Miss. Said it was a great southern school 15 years ago. A guy I work with went to Bama and he said there is no way you could do the things he did 20 years ago today. I do like the top tier SEC schools like Georgia and South Carolina. I'm hoping at least one of these bastards gets a scholarship in some D1 sport.
