You cared enough to get all emotional about it, random message board poster.


I didn’t post that article as proof that OU has been better than LSU the past 20 years. I’m not emotional about it, but clearly you are. Repeat after me, “Oklahoma hasn’t been as good as LSU the past 20 years.”

In the past 20 years, OU has done everything but finish a big game on the biggest stage. LSU has been up and down yet has 3 national titles to show for it. I’d easily take LSU’s last 20 years over OU’s. Any OU fan that says different is off their rocker.

The best way to prove you’re not emotional is posting the standard 4th grade response of, “nu uh, I’m not, you are!”

Dear OU fans,
Do you know what happened to S Carolina when we joined the SEC in the early 90’s?
Our 1st SEC game in football was UGA, 1st SEC game in baseball was LSU, and 1st SEC game in men’s basketball was UK! It was a total beat down in all sports. They totally beat the Shiite out of us. It was a brutal “introduction” to our new conference.
However, what you will learn is that ALL SEC schools will occasionally get the Shiite beat out of them. So, it makes all of us pretty humble. Which in-turn makes it a true brotherhood. I truly enjoy being a part of the SEC and I know that you will too.

Now UTex, I’m not sure about you guys.

The fans drove the decision? How can you regret something you aren't responsible for?

OU will not turn into Nebraska. If you follow recruiting and understand how elite the coaching is then the outlook is good.

I regret that this topic ever got started in the first place. It is just another obvious troll by jetdawg, one of the leading trollers on this site and the rest of you just look ignorant feeding the troll.

I wonder if Georgia regrets being in the SEC?

Okay, so over the past 20 years, OU isn't the third best program in the country like that insecure Sooner tried to claim.

Elite coaching wouldn't have gone 6-7 last year in a dog shite conference.

Nope.

Like Ohio State slipped into the Chicago spot, being the sole SEC rep in GA with the Bumbles gone sure did not hurt.

Why?


I am saying over the long term, OU is a Blue Blood

OU > UNL > UTX > AR

I am also saying over the long term, Tide is a Blue Blood

Tide > any other current ACC or SEC team


If you are not trolling and really do not understand this, answer this question

Who is the more elite team historically?


Alabama

OR

LSU

The south...the real south...has survived carpet baggers before and will do so again. Its what we do...folks come in and think they can get over because eerybody knows folks from the south ain't got good smarts...and it usually those folks don't realize until they get back where the belong just how badly beaten the ignorant southerner took advantage of them.


Just how dumb or ignorant are you? Carpetbaggers? WTF. Do you know civil war history in the least? You just offended a lot of people. Texas fought with, and for your asses, bud. Tennessee folks and MS folks came to fight with and for Texas at the Alamo. Texas was a confederate state, top to bottom.

Hundreds of schools, cities, and streets in Texas are named after confederate generals from Texas.

Just yesterday I was in a little town called Fort Towson, Oklahoma. It is a small town with a historical site and monument. The town hosted confederate soldiers. Notable people that passed through the town on their way to fight in Texas were Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, and Stephen F. Austin. It served as a confederate outpost.

The very last confederate general to lay down arms in the civil war was General Stand Waitie, a Cherokee Indian whose family moved from Georgia to Oklahoma along with thousands of others from the southeast.

Learn a little more about this region before you bash it like you did.

Stand Watie

y'all kill me with this "culture fit" stuff. Do you know that literally fans at every school in the nation also drink beer and tailgate while talking about football?



The only thing that makes Austin less like the other SEC cities is the slightly hippy vibe of it.... However that's only a fraction of it. Austin is very country and redneckish as well it just gets overshadowed with the new money and hippies kind of like Nashville.

A lot of people haven't left their trailers let alone been to Austin so they wouldn't understand.

The best part about the SEC for the Sooners is they can break free from Texas now. I think they will and they will compete at a high level soon. Might need a different coach though, TBD. Their fans will also mesh with SEC fans easily.


I don’t know why you try to put us in your drama with Texas . We valued our rivalry so yes we wanted to stay in same conference to ensure games will be played but OU a has led the big 12 so if anything it would be Texas breaking free of OU… we have never had beef like you did .

It didn’t have anything to do with us having one qb who got injured and us having 50 percent roster turnover would it ? Cmon man open your eyes .

All teams have problems. No one says Jimbo was working with his third string QB to justify why he went 5-7. You are what your records says you are. You really think you were in a worse position than Texas Tech? Or West Virginia? or Baylor?

OU was a 6-7 team and good coaches don't go 6-7 with OU's talent advantage over a dog shite conference. OU played arguably one game all season where they weren't the more talented team.

Now. Imagine in the SEC when you're playing a schedule where you don't have the talent advantage. That's OU's new reality. And it won't go well for them.

The coattail riders will do fine; they just won't be winning conference titles *in football* very often.
