They get maybe 2 or 3 per year out of their own state. And they are 2 or 3 stars. Anyone that depends that heavily on other states live off their past and conference. Bringing them into the SEC saved them. If Texas left them behind they would be screwed. They get half of their athletes from Texas. If not more.

Oklahoma will bring plenty to the SEC. They are a traditional blue blood. Plus, OKC has some really good breweries if you're in to that, which I am.

why aren't they just going to be another A&M that never wins anything in this league?


OU has 14 FB Conference Championships since 2000.
A&M has none.

OU has 7 FB National Championships since 1950.
A&M has none.

OU has 19 10+ Win Seasons in FB since 2000.
A&M has one.

OU is a blue blood.
A&M is not.

Do you have any other stupid questions?

Ever seen fifty first dates. Little Adam Sandler movie where he pursues cute girl but has to hang out with her dorky bro to complete the deal?

Oklahoma brings in the best softball program, a top gymnastics program, solid football and basketball. Solid baseball as well. They will fit in

of course they focus on meteorology


OU's petroleum engineering school ranks far higher than their atmospheric sciences program

The Cotton Bowl is ~ 190 miles from both OU & Texas. Everything north of the Cotton Bowl is closer to OU, including more quality high school programs than any area of the country.

OU has made a living recruiting Texas, not just the DFW Metro, and will do much better now that the $EC bags have been neutralized.

Make no mistake, Oklahoma has $$$. Old oil money, not new (A&M) oil money. Old like the founders of Conoco, Phillips, Getty & Kerr-McGee. They also have the new money; Harold Hamm's net worth is ~ $50 Billion, with a "B". I still got the hat.

When Jed Clampett sold his new found fortune and moved to Beverly Hills, Mr. Brewster, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, wrote the check.

Pearl: You been slickered, and you know it.
Granny: That's jist what I told him.
Jed: Well, that Mr. Brewster fella seems to set great store in the fact, that he's paying me with some new kinda dollars.
Pearl: There ain't no new kinda dollars.
Jed: Well, they's new ta me. I heard of gold dollars, paper dollars, silver dollars, but never no..... what'd he call 'em, Granny?
Granny: Millions Dollars.
Pearl: MILLIONS Dollars?

How does Oklahoma participate in the Iron Bowl?

Red River Shootout and the Iron Bowl are both great rivalries, but Army-Navy is the best.

Lot of Indian casinos, and it’s fairly easy to clean up at the poker tables.

Also great if you’re a fan of tornadoes and ice storms.

Also headquarters for Sonic, so you can check all the knuckles you desire.

How about you list Aggy’s athletic achievements. It should only take :30 seconds, and that’s being generous.

As much as I would like to give Oklahoma shite, I really don't dislike the people or the state. Looking forward to having them in the SEC. That fight song tho, over and over...
