re: When do we start treating OU and Texas as SEC?

Bringing them in destroyed what little was left of the historic footprint of the conference.

I don't think this is a legitimate complaint. Texas was a member of the Confederacy and Austin was the capitol of a Confederate State.

In Oklahoma, pretty much all the tribes either had treaties siding with the Confederacy or were sympathetic to it. The Indians who didn't like the Confederacy scurried off to Kansas.

Texas is legit for the SEC and Oklahoma has about the same claim as Kentucky and Missouri do from an historical perspective.
