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.

I think your average donghorn and chokelahoma fan realize it is going to be a little tougher for them in the SEC. There just happens to be a few dipshit fans on this board like xwing/rancho/shaveshisbush and mansucka who like to push your buttons. Even they know better even though they would never admit it.

None of this happened when aggie and mizzou joined your league and neither of them rolled into your league with top 10 talent anywhere on their rosters. They did just fine and they were both turds in the BIG XII. That's a fact, whether you like it or not.
You can pretend history doesn't exist all you want, but I don't play pretend because I'm not a pussy who needs to cling to a self-comforting narrative.
We fully expect a more competitive league. We'll work out and make sure we watch tape. Shut the frick up already. Goddamn....

This just shows you didn’t watch any of those games and looked at the final scores. Fun fact, Texas was up 20 in all of those games and let off the pedal allowing other teams to expose a secondary that was weak (got much stronger this off-season). Sark worked on pounding the ball and clock control. He figured it out at the end of the season, don’t step off the pedal and keep playing aggressive (EX: Texas Tech and Oklahoma State).
Funny thing is, Texas was up 20 on ranked Kansas state with a backup QB.
Georgia, LSU and Bama are the only teams that can justify talking shite on Texas due to recent championships… but both Georgia and Alabama lost their most recent games to Texas. Texas also holds the all time record against all three of those teams. Maybe try to beat that “joke of a conference” team before you talk champ.
