OUs campus is ugly

Just piddling around on Google maps street view, I perused the Oklahoma campus and couldn't help but realize just how ugly virtually every building on campus is.
Most every building looks like 1960s and 1970s institutional architecture that Mike Brady designed.
No charm at all.
Not even sure what would constitute as a "quad" like commons area.
There's some open space around some hideous looking 6 sided building that might be considered a commons area, but that looks pathetic and surrounded by some single floor looking dorm type homes.
At least some of the Greek fraternity and sorority homes looks somewhat appealing.
Very below SEC expectations.

It’s Oklahoma. It’s all ugly.

Proof you've never been there.
To the contrary, OU's campus is quite nice. Not to be unkind, but it's actually nicer looking than Alabama's, imo. I love the state of Oklahoma!

Oklahoma's would be the easiest to reproduce in minecraft.

I've been there and with all due respect, it's about average...

Alabama's campus is nicer than that.

Assuming you tried to pick the best pictures you could of OU’s campus, I have to say you did NOT make a convincing argument.

It looks like A&M's with nicer buildings (i.e., buildings that don't look like they belong in the Soviet Bloc).

Which would still make it nicer looking than Alabama's (just kidding!). Bama's got a fine campus, too. But, so does OU. I've been to all 16 schools' campuses at one time or another and they all look fine, tbh.

Yeah; that was a really weird post. I’m not trying to shite on OU here but those pictures were not compelling.

I went there a few weeks ago for the SC game and the OU campus is extremely nice. The rest of the state leaves a lot to be desired, but their campus was top notch.

Yeah. Those are weird buildings. Looks like they’re designed by Lego.

You want to compare OU to Alabama? Sit down.

You just don’t understand true beauty until you’ve taken classes in a concrete battleship.

I take it you went see Charlie Strong lead you to the most embarrassing loss in program history against KU?
