re: Texas and Oklahoma...SEC stadiums vs Big 12 "stadiums"

This is such an overrated narrative.

Utah holds like 60k people and was a tough environment for Florida week 1.

At UT we've had almost 100k people not be very engaged past the first quarter because the team wasn't good.

If you have a good team and the fans are engaged for the entire game, you can create a tough environment.

For every guy that gets nervous in front of a larger crowd, theres another that gets amped up.

I have had the distinct pleasure of attending several games at DKR and it is a great venue. It is not a great crowd. Its a big crowd. Not great. UGA had the same issues before Mark Richt was hired. UGA games were social gatherings where the university was kind enough to provide some athletic competition on the football field for the viewing enjoyment of the crowd while they discussed the peanut crop and the local doings in Hahira. Texas games have exactly the same feel, of did up until a few years ago, in my experience. I have also been to TT, Baylor and TCU games...and they are exactly the same. A UGA / UK game today is VASTLY different than anything I have seen in any of the Big 12 stadiums I have been too. I know its all dependent on opponent and how well the home teams is doing but there is a distinct difference....and UGA is not the best home crowd in the SEC yet....
