Yeah, I am not happy about this. OU only needs 10 more wins to get to 100 wins in this so called rivalry. The OU athletic director said OSU shows no interest in continuing to play so OU is moving on.

Getting to 100 wins would have been nice, but I can't say I'm too shaken up about the news. They have provided a nice, often highly ranked matchup in recent years, usually at or near the end of the season, but we shouldn't have much trouble finding another.

I recall when OSU wanted to replace Nebraska as our Thanksgiving rival.

First, the truth is in the middle. No, your program isn’t trying to schedule them and it’s not you guys trying to save it. The SEC told you guys no. It wasn’t in your control. tu isn’t playing Texas Tech either, and that’s the story Tech gave. They tried calling tu out on Twitter for being cowards, tu said if was an SEC decision. The same is true for Bedlam. You guys weren’t going to get special treatment and get one less conference game to accommodate them. SC doesn’t get one less game either bc they play Clemson. Use your OOC slots for that and make it permanent like SC/Clemson

Okie Lite is cutting their own throat with this. The SEC would have cheerfully carved out a rivalry week matchup for that game. They do with the woefully mismatched Ga. Tech vs Georgia game. This a terrible decision on their part.

Cry me a river. It's what they do when you leave. Spurned lovers.
