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....

All I got from this is that Texas thought of an idea A&M wished they had.

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.

We also weren’t giant, insufferable assholes, proclaiming we were going to take over.
We were grateful to be here, enjoyed the initial stop at each new stadium, and rolled with the punches.

I would be too if the best conference let in a team that really shouldn’t have been there.

Yes you were. You dipshits went and purchased billboard signs everywhere saying you were going to do precisely that. I don't play pretend, fig.

The SEC wasn't as talented in 2012.
The past decade, there has been a scramble in the SEC in terms of recruiting where the SEC has put a significant gap in talent between themselves and the rest of college football. At that time teams like Ole Miss, MSU and Kentucky weren't in the top 50 of talent rankings.
Nick Saban kicked it off when he came to Bama, but it took teams a few years to get their shite together and increase their recruiting as well.
There were a lot more games on the schedule 10-15 years ago where you could coast to wins with sub-par talent. That's not the case the last 5-7 seasons.
That's why Mizzou and A&M with less talent were able to have some success their first few years... then they hit a wall. (A&M in 2014, Mizzou in 2015). They've both raised their talent as well the last few years.
Look, I expect OU and Texas to win some big games the next couple of years. But you're going to lose some to teams you are better than as well. Both teams have talent, but you're simply not getting that an off week against Mississippi State or Arkansas or Kentucky isn't going to be a close win like those off weeks against Iowa State, West Virginia or Kansas State were in the Big 12.
You can feel free to disagree if you like. We'll see soon enough when the games start.

And you do that same shite against teams with top 30 in the nation talent, you lose.
It's really not that complicated. Regardless of how you fricked up to make a game close, that same sort of frick up causes a loss against much more talented opponents. That shouldn't be hard to understand.

bullshite. The talent in the region hasn't changed.
All of you clowns were yapping "big boy football!!" at both of them when they entered your league and you failed to deliver on your bravado. Aggie ran through your league like shite through a goose and Mizzou won the East back to back. Neither of them had top 10 rosters. Not even close.
History doesn't just go away because you find it inconvenient. Maybe you shouldn't link your personal pride and identity to a conference perception.
I don't play pretend.

Aggies did what mfer? What you smoking? How many titles do the faggies and border state have so far?

You know what happened. You're just pretending like the other clown because of your silly pride, mfer.

2023 247 composite rankings. Lowest ranked SEC teams other than Vandy:
Mizzou at 34, UK at 32.
2011 rankings. Lowest ranked SEC teams other than Vandy.
UK at 50, Ole Miss at 48.
I don't know what to tell you other than simply pointing out the numbers. While SEC members have always been proud of their football, SEC teams from top to bottom recruit better now than they did when the SEC last expanded.
Perhaps it's a benefit of adding the state of Texas to the conference. Perhaps they're spending more on recruiting once they saw how big the gap Bama was building in talent was becoming. Perhaps teams from other conferences slacked off. But it has happened.
