Is it? Do they hand out spirit trophy for attendance and participation?

The competition for spots in Texas schools, and outside of Texas for Texas students, has created a situation, for the last decade and a half, where OU and Ark aren't really viewed in a negative way. A successful Texas high school student who wants to go to a large public university looks at Texas and A&M and then OU and then Ark.
Athletes care even less about "in state". A Dallas athlete's family is just as close to Norman as they are to Austin and College Station.
So long as there are scholly limits, there will be plenty of talent to go around.
I laugh at aggie fans, we have been crooting against UT and those weirdos for a 100 years and OU is in the top 10 of every historical category.

Glad SMU was mentioned. They are an interesting story here.
Their rise, if it happens, will be at the expense of the SEC western schools.

They are about to be left to die again. ACC is about to implode into ConfUSA part deux.
But I agree, SMU and thier money is a sleeping giant. There is a reason OU, Tex etc always fought thier inclusion into the butthurt12

No.
OU has more than a “pipeline” in Texas… it’s more like an established base with multigenerational support. I’ve read where the D/FW area has more OU alumni than the state of Ok.

It was more TCU than Texas or Oklahoma that opposed SMU.

This dumb shite is why none of you should be taken seriously. You don't even know enough basic information to even formulate your dumbass opinions in the first place.

At the end of the day, it's still considered an out of state school. It will be harder to convince a player to leave Texas when they have two great options in-state that have more money than OU.

Obviously, they weren’t. As I told OU lurkers back then: If you can’t stop the run, you aren’t going to beat UGA. They couldn’t and didn’t. UGA was a run-heavy offense back then and the only team that stopped them from running….Auburn during the regular season….beat them. No other team did until the second half of the National Championship final vs. Alabama. It was as simple back then as now. Lincoln Riley did not believe in defense. No way OU should have lost, being up 31-14 late in the first half. However, they squib kicked a ball, allowed UGA to run a couple of plays and kick a long FG, and make it 31-17. That kick, more than anything else, gave UGA a huge momentum boost going into the half, and then UGA received the second half kickoff and went right down and scored, cutting it to 31-24. After that, UGA knew the game could be theirs for the taking.

NU was kneecapped when the newly created Big12 severely limited partial qualifiers. They should leave the Big 10 and return to the Big 12 under the condition that they remove the limits on partial qualifiers. The NU formula for success is big white local corn fed linemen and some mentally deficient skill position players from further abroad.

Arkansas lost recruiting in Texas when they left the SWC and didn't schedule Texas/A&M during the 90s.
Arkansas had to make adjustments in recruiting and that meant recruiting states that haven't been recruited historically such as Alabama and Georgia.
Nebraska and Arkansas declined for different reasons.
Nebraska had advantages that they no longer have now.
They use to have top of the line strength and conditioning, partial qualifiers, being the only thing in a sparsely populated state, being able to have their games broadcasted to a national audience before it was a regular thing.
They also relied heavily on redshirts that included walk-ons that were older, more experienced than the average college football team.
I heard that many of these walk-ons from Nebraska that got financial support for scholarships, came from the locals of towns within the state.

Arkansas has never recruited Texas as good as Oklahoma.
Here is a list of the all-80s team.
Quinn Grovey from Oklahoma.
Tony Cherico from Missouri.
Brad Taylor from Arkansas.
Gary Anderson from Missouri.
Barry Foster from Texas.
James Shibest from Texas.
Donnie Centers from Texas.
Derek Russell from Arkansas.
Derek Holloway from New Jersey.
Billy Winston from Arkansas.
Theo Young from Arkansas.
Jim Mabry from Tennessee.
Steve Korte from Colorado.
Elbert Crawford from Arkansas.
Freddie Childress from Arkansas.
Alfred Mohammad from Arkansas.
Billy Ray Smith Jr. from Texas.
Wayne Martin from Arkansas.
Michael Shepherd from Louisiana.
Ron Faurot from Texas.
Rickey Williams from Arkansas.
Bert Zinamon from Arkansas.
Ravin Caldwell from Arkansas.
Danny Walters from Arkansas.
Greg Lasker from Missouri.
Steve Atwater from Missouri.
Richard Brothers from Arkansas.
The best players came from Arkansas during this decade. Either Arkansas high school football has been in a decline or coaches have not recruited the state as hard as they should.
