That's some Ag level of cowardice from chOklaoma. Crimson and Yellow should be you new colors.

It took them 25 years to work up the nerve to play us again.

While OU's move to the SEC functionally ended Bedlam, technically it is OSU that is saying it can't accommodate the game in upcoming years due to existing commitments for out-of-conference games.

I have a direct link to OSU and would not cover for OU. Go Pokes!!

OU didn't drop the UGA game. The SEC forced that because UGA's return game would have been after OU was in the SEC.

Yeah people say stupid shite.

That's like saying Alabama is running from Miss State with the new SEC without divisions.

This is correct. They are using the move to the SEC as cover to drop an annual guaranteed L off of their schedule going forward by pretending they'll be busy "washing their hair" like the pussies they are.

In 117 attempts Oklahoma State has 19 wins vs OU. I'm going out on a limb and saying that OU would likely enjoy keeping that foe on their schedule.

The historic value of the SEC was the non conference OOC games

Look at the future SEC schools, the reason 8 games remain is the LONG term value of existing historic inter conference games on ticket sales and donor dollars.

Existing history
WEST || Tide / Auburn = each other (Auburn has history with Clemson)
EAST || Gators = Florida State + Miami
EAST || UGA = Georgia Tech + Clemson
EAST || UK = Indiana (pre 80's) + Louisville (1980's - current)
WEST || LSU = Tulane
EAST || SC = Clemson + UNC
EAST || UT + VU = have each other but frequently schedule ACC OOC

Future history
WEST || Hogs = SWC foes (TAMU and Utx in SEC, maybe add TCU or TT)
WEST || tLandmass had each other (maybe add non SEC TX school?)
EAST || Mizzou had kansas (if dead, maybe Iowa State or Illinois)
WEST || Sooners = Oklahoma State
WEST || TAMU + Utx || now have each other in SEC (???? who to add OOC rival?)

You have to view the probable Power 4 as 2 distinct sub groups
B1G / B12 / PAC = not many long term OOC rival games
ACC / SEC = loaded with long term rival games


While the leaders was NFL Lite, what if it all implodes in the next 20 years and rivals inside of 250 miles return to favor as the did after the first breakup of the Super Conferences about a century ago.

OU reached 90 head-to-head wins against Ok State before their counterpart could reach 20 wins...

Oklahoma State and Mike Gundy should be overjoyed that they're no longer on the schedule moving forward

Sounds a lot like what the donghorns and chokelahoma did after A&M left the Big 12. They got so butt hurt when A&M left that they refused to play them and encouraged other Big 12 members to not schedule them either. Baylor even tried to sue A&M when they left.

Oswho is that fat cow who looked like a beauty queen at closing time at the club. They have their pee hole hurt because OU didn't tell them that we had been talking to the sec prior to making the announcement of the move. So really nothing to see here.

Your coach has been begging his way out of the DSOR, let it slip a few weeks back.

I suspect OSU is actually tickled not to have to continue that particular blood bath any longer. There is no upside to it for OSU...they are most likely going to lose. Now they have a shot at a conference title and possibly a play off spot. I suspect the Pokes are happy as hell about the Sooners not being on the schedule...theyd be idiots not to be...
