Kyle Field and Neyland Stadium are far louder than OU, I would imagine many other SEC stadiums are also louder than the crowds in Norman.
While this is true I'm hoping that having SEC teams in Norman will help jack up the noise some.
OU never plays Texas in Norman and that is the only team that OU fans get really jacked up for. Maybe your OSU Cowboys a little bit... but not really.
The rest of the Big XII doesn't really move the needle at all in Norman. I mean, OU fans just don't hate anybody else in the league.
I don't know if "hate" will actually develop in the SEC...but one can always hope. At the very least I'm hoping that SEC opponents will generate excitement in the crowd that is simply lacking when Big XII teams come to town.
I kind of see Alabama and Georgia sparking the crowd sort of like how Notre Dame did when they came to Norman.

The marquee matchups like bama, Notre Dame, Miami and Ohio State got the crowd going. Otherwise, our home schedule has been a snoozefest for 15+ years.
maybe there will be some 'hate' or maybe not. But regardless, having actual competition from SEC teams will hype the crowd up, I am sure of that.
