So by Norman math

2 > 6
2 > 10

Nobody is arguing your 2 Natty's, just pointing out that you have a much easier conference to get you to the NCAA's and that your 2 is a big deal to you, but not folks that actually follow the sport.

Taters have 2 MNC's in football in the ACC but most on here recognize that 2 is not as good in the SEC as it might be in another conference. When Sooner fans start making argument a Tater would, you have just dropped to their IQ, not enhanced yours.

You seem upset with reality. Don't be. Our figs are just better than your figs. Just deal with it. Maybe your figs should spend more time on the uneven parallel bars and less time at your campus gloryholes and they might win something.

Congrats on 1 Natty, now win 6 or 10 and you can gain more credibility

3 Natty's in 11 appearance
3 Natty's in 14 appearances

Congrats on being just below TAMU when they were in the SWC and B12

SEC has 13 teams currently (Vanderbilt has no softball) and 10 of them have been to the WCWS (looking at you AR and MS). Not negating OU's wins, just suggesting the regular season would be less kind to the Sooners final numbers. Especailly in light of the recent trend for the SEC to displace the historic dominance of the PAC.

Part of the thing folks in austin and norman seem to miss is beating up lots of conference patsies does not sharpen the overall conference and individual schools will be in for a rude awakening if they ever move. PAC still has softball so moving there would reduce your regular season win numbers even if you may be too blind to see / admit it.

Congrats on M gymnastics but you realize SEC does not sponsor that sport. Christ, we got all the gay we needed with TAMU and MU, you need to do better in sports involving women in shorts like volleyball, soccer, and T&F.

(as per Rant rules, posting pic when volleyball is mentioned)

You're a shite boarder that follows women's sports and you would scream SEC! SEC! at a wall all day if you thought it wanted to argue.

You seem rustled.

I follow both M and W sports in the SEC, you might try it sometime. Do you not have female kids or grandkids who play sports? Do any of them play for a school that you don't buy your fandom from the local Wal Mart?

As for screaming SEC SEC SEC all day, it beats sitting in the nursing home staring at the walls praying for death to come. Seriously, I love fans of a school who claim to be so die hard and then only follow 1 sport. You sound pretty bandwagon so try broadening your horizons.

Of course he can't.

But many, many students did do very well in the Head Start program prior to enrolling.

Your conference had ONE TEAM finish with double digit wins last season. Last of all P5 conferences who all had 3 or more. That's not a competitive conference. It's Bama beating up a bunch of 8-4 teams. Period. Stop talking.

The big 8/12 was just as dominant as the sec and just as hard to make it to NCs as the SEC prior to 2010. OU played Texas and Nebraska yearly, those three teams have titles in every decade. There's no discounting any of OUs NCs compared to Bama.

I would agree about the B12 before 2010, not so sure I agree about the old Big Eight (especially in football) when it really was just OU and UNL. Playing Texas in the RRR helped, but SWC was too damn regional to really be a good indicator of national ability.

I am not discounting them in the sense that OU had some stout teams, just the fact we had MNC's instead of NC's makes it hard to differentiate who really was better. Media and NCAA bias was always in play until OU and UGA went to court. After that the midwest and southern schools got to level the national perception a bit.

In a conference with so many schools with Natty history it is not hard to imagine their regular seasons were more competitive. Sure the Bedlam game is well publicized as a rivalry but that would be like saying Bama vs UK was a rivalry in football. When you beat up on the other team with such regularity, it is no rival (where W vs L hover closer to 50%) and the old Big 8 and SWC had lots of high % wins.

You could make the case that it was harder for the Big 12.

1998 - Kansas State knocked out of contention by A&M in the conference title game

2001 - t.u. knocked out of contention by Colorado in the conference title game. Colorado screwed by the BCS poll despite beating Nebraska by 4 touchdowns and winning the conference.

2003 - Oklahoma, who didn't win their conference got shut down by LSU, who DID win their conference.

2007 - All sorts of weird shite happened that year.

2008 - Florida dominated Oklahoma

2009 - Alabama dominated t.u.

All three of those teams DO NOT have a title in every decade.

2010 - present: None
2000 - 2009: Oklahoma - 1, t.u. - 1
1990 - 1999: Nebraska - 3
1980 - 1989: Oklahoma - 1
1970 - 1979: Nebraska - 2, Oklahoma - 2
1960 - 1969: t.u. - 2
1950 - 1959: Oklahoma - 3
1940 - 1949: None
1930 - 1939: None

imo, Oklahoma joining the SEC would be the beginning of the end of the southeastern conference. let them frickers wither on their vine.

Considering the bias, horrid officiating and SEC offices in Birmingham AL. I consider the dissolution of the SEC a godsend. SCREW THE MONEY!

CU won the MNC in the Big 8 too. They've had some good teams that made runs in other years. In the early 70s NU, OU, and CU finished 1,2, and 3.

OU vs. OSU is more like Alabama v Auburn than Alabama v UK. It's an intense instate rivalry that while more lopsided often provides a lot of drama.

I think in early 2000s the Big 12 was pretty dominant. When OU won title in 2000, the Sooners played nos. 10 UT, 2 KSU, and 1 NU in consecutive games on the way. That hasn't happened before or since.

Just saying you guys don't follow Big 12 closely which is fine. But if you look, there is every reason to say it's on par with the other P5 regardless of the future.
