man, Oklahoma and Austin, Texas) - Ben Lancaster andJonathan Johnston were great friends in high school. After high school Jonathan(â J.J.â as heâ s called) decided to study at the University of Texas and Ben went toOklahoma University. â Now weâ re rivals,â Lancaster said.The rivalry between their two schools and the high cost of their college educationgot these young men to thinking. Maybe they could harness the power of one of thegreatest college rivalries in America to help fund their college educations.So OUorTexas.com was born.The site asks O.U. and Texas fans to show their school spirit in order to see whichschoolâ s fans care more about the current students at each university. To â vote,â site visitors click a button and donate for their school. One dollar equals onevote.The site records the votes and the winning side gets bragging rights. Ben and J.J.get college money in return.â Weâ re hoping all the fans will donate a dollar each. Then Texas will win becauseTexas has more fans,â Johnston said.â No way,â counters Lancaster. â Oklahoma fans care more. They will give five dollarseach and run up the score. Just like they do on the field.â And so it goes â two friends, having fun and probably funding a good deal of theircollege education at the same time.â Itâ s the power of the Internet meets the power of the rivalry. Itâ s a fun way topay for textbooks, thatâ s for sure,â said Lancaster.
