Better get the perfect fit who can salvage some recruiting. Coming into the SEC with even less talent and the wrong coach could be devastating to your program. It's probably going to be even if you do those things. You guys are stupid for letting Texas talk you into this. Could have sat and been kings of the B12 for another few decades. Instead you will be just another face in the crowd in the SEC.

That is how Arkansas joined the SEC.

But that’s the issue. OU fans have been clamoring for years to get out of the Big 12 especially after aTm and Mizzou left. OU deserves to be in the best conference and does that mean we will take some lumps? Absolutely. But most OU fans know this and would still rather be in the SEC. Iron sharpens iron and that wasn’t happening in that dumpster of a conference. We’ll take our lumps and let it play out. It’s awful early to already call OU a failure in the SEC. Let’s see who gets hired and we’ll go from there

You think this because as an Arkansas fan you have delusions that your program is historically comparable to OU and you are just another face in the crowd in the SEC.

The fact is, your program prior to moving to the SEC was nowhere near OU's level by any historical measure. You had a few years in the '60s but nobody has ever considered Arkansas anywhere near a blue blood.

Oklahoma is far closer to the recruiting hotbeds in Texas. For many in the DFW area, Oklahoma is the closest big name school.

If you are saying we'll be another face in the crowd like Florida, Georgia, or LSU, then fine. If you say we will historically compare with Arkansas or Ole Miss, you are suffering delusions.

We may have a very tough time initially considering the damage this is doing to our program but in the long run we will be a lot closer to the top tier programs than to your mediocre program.
