Historical Exodus

Time eradicates tradition. Honored rituals are supplanted with modern concepts. Sacred institutions are deserted for monetary greed. America has evolved and revolutionized. As our nation has advanced, we have forsaken the foundations and customs which made progress possible.

On Tuesday, the historic Cotton Bowl was abandoned. Beginning in 2010, the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic will originate from Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas. This decision strands the Cotton Bowl hosting one contest. Oklahoma and Texas remain scheduled combatants in the Red River clash.

Eventually, the Oklahoma-Texas rivalry will depart. The series will migrate to Arlington or greed will facilitate a home and home agreement. Then the Cotton Bowl, which has hosted events since 1932, will stand vacant. Ultimately, evolution will necessitate the shrine’s obliteration.

Wind skirts this treasure. Sun visits the seats, scoreboard, and media facilities, which have bore witness to history. The Cotton Bowl has welcomed a hostile contention, national championship football, the World Cup, primetime television, U2, Van Halen, and Elvis Pressley. This American icon deserves greater than demolition.
