Well, if I had my way, we would have bolted with A&M back last year and kept UT and OSU on the schedule as non-conference opponents every year. It may seem like a death wish, but I'm getting a Chris Matthews tingle-up-my-leg just thinking about how much fun that schedule would be.

And I know OSU has absolutely no value and our state is relatively small, but y'all might not realize that OKC and Tulsa are two of the highest-rated markets for college football. HERE Right up there with the Alabama crew and those couch burners in Ohio.

Not sure if that link worked since I'm a first timer, but it shows that we Okies live and breathe football as much our southeastern brethren do, so I feel like we'd fit in just fine (not to mention we'd be 2nd in National Championships behind Bama). You would think we'd fit in a hell of lot better than Mizzou. Try calling an Oklahoman a Yankee and see how he reacts to that. I was a little shocked y'all took them, but to each his own.

Sorry for the TLDR, just my humble opinion. It'll probably never happen since we can't seem to leave our Ag school behind (they love to talk shite, but they're fellow Oklahomans and we look out for one another). Oh well, a man can dream, can't he?

I guess I am the only SEC fan who doesn't want to expand. I didn't like the last expansion. Yes, I know it's all about TV exposure and TV money but I still don't like it.

I'd love to have OU, but I've always felt like (and please correct me if I'm wrong) the likelihood of us pulling Oklahoma away from OSU and Tejas was next to zero. A&M wanted out badly enough to leave the history behind - albeit with some different history taking its place in LSU and Arky, and I just don't see the SEC being a big enough draw to potentially leave the Red River Shootout and Bedlam behind.
