There was interest playing big 12 teams. Texas almost always drew 100k in dkr conference games. K state, tcu ,osu, wvu played well there. The horns didn't dominate the big12.

I’d rather enjoy games all year than have to play Kansas, Baylor, etc and make the CFP.
Even if a Florida or LSU is having a down year by their standards, you’re still playing LSU/Florida in a sold out stadium. From this perspective it really does “mean more”.
I wished we’d come with Arkansas back in the 90s.

I love being in the SEC. So much more fun

I don’t think Arkansas is a blood rival anymore. They should have gotten OU as a permanent rival instead of Texas. Their campuses are geographically closer than they are to any other SEC campus. Pittman got that right.

Would you say that being in the SEC is better than it was in the big 12 or would you go back if you could?
Personally, I’m thinking the conference is even better now with both of y’all are in it.
It's nice being in a conference w/ many strong state schools and traditional rivalries. Playing more and bigger state schools rather than the smaller private schools is infinitely better.
The original B12 was damn good, especially when I lived in Colorado. The B12 had much better scheduling. Everybody played everybody else every 2 years, and everybody played every team at home every 4 years. It was a truly competitive "Conference" with a lot of quality football games, and no "easy" schedules.

Not speaking for blowU, but there is a damn good reason we left the Rig12 and never looked back.
Don't get me wrong, early on it was a pretty good conference, and in the early 2k's was legitimately in the conversation for strongest conference top to bottom, but that didn't last long.

So glad about the move.
I think the biggest thing for me, is, even if we lose, the games are still more fun than winning in a stadium with 20,000 fans in the house. There was like a decade we won the Big 12 every year and it was somehow still boring.

I enjoy the increased level of competition on the field but the SEC trash talking is pathetic, I expected better,

I'd rather not be in the SEC:
1) the SEC doesn't need any more athletic success
2) Texas isn't in the South.
That being said, being in the SEC takes away the disadvantage Texas had in recruiting. That's what the SEC gave to Texas.

I wanted us to join over 10 years ago when we were invited and Boren F'd it up. I'm very happy being in the SEC.

We're not going back to the Big12. Nope. We're fine here. We will adapt.

I enjoy being in the SEC more than I thought I would. I had always hoped for the PAC-12 or Big 10 for cultural fits and academic stigma respectively. But, I always admired the competitiveness of the SEC and the tradition, especially in football.
Would I go back? No. I think both Texas and ou outgrew the conference. It was nice to be top dogs but there was never any real chance for parity. Playing arky and a&m again annually is a good thing for College Football IMO.

You have to beat the best if you want to be the best.
Still waiting for that first win against UGA...

You obviously have no clue if you believe OU is a bigger rival to Arkansas than Texas just because of geographic proximity. If you have ever spent one day in Arkansas, you know the hatred for the University of Texas is widespread and deep-seeded.
