It's foolish you dipshits keep repeating this when nobody was saying it wouldn't be.

Okay, since you apparently don't get polite language, I'll say it impolitely.

It's foolish for Texas and OU fans to not realize they're going to lose more games than they expect as they adjust to the talent level in the SEC.

You seem to think an "adjustment" means you'll dominate the conference you're coming into. The reality is that while both OU an Texas are good enough to win even against the top teams in the SEC, the fact that every team other than Vandy has more talent than all but 4 Big 12 teams had means that a poor performance against almost anyone is going to earn you a loss rather than a close win. And neither OU nor Texas is used to that.

That performance against K-State last season? That's a loss against any SEC team other than Vandy. That Houston performance? Loss to everyone perhaps INCLUDING Vandy.
That TCU performance? THat's a loss against half the SEC teams. Your 2-loss season last year is a 4-loss season or worse against a SEC schedule, just because SEC teams have way more talent across the board. You aren't going to lose all of them, but you can't afford the down games you've gotten away with in the Big 12. The most you can be down and expect to get a win would be your performance against TCU last year.
