The Texas Longhorns subtly but hilariously trolled the Oklahoma Sooners
BRYAN TERRY/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK

The rivalry between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners is easily one of the best in all of sports.

Texas and Oklahoma first played each other 125 years ago, and the two programs have faced off annually since 1929 in the Red River Rivalry.

The Longhorns won last year's meeting 34-3 in Dallas.

Texas executes a perfect troll job on Oklahoma

On Thursday evening, the official Texas Longhorns athletics account tweeted a graphic boasting the program's status as the "No. 1 brand value in college sports".

The graphic includes the top six biggest brand values in college sports.

Oklahoma is No. 6 on that list.

The Texas social media team almost completely faded out Oklahoma's name on the graphic. You can just barely tell that it's Oklahoma at No. 6.

This is great (and absolutely brilliant). Pettiness like this is part of what makes college football rivalries so incredible .
