re: Oklahoma fans, hows does the SEC weekly grind compare to the Big-12?

The grind is harder and getting harder by the day …. Every sec team is feeling it the days of undefeated or 1 loss sec champs are over …. It would take a NC worthy team to accomplish going thru this league with one loss , undefeated is almost impossible with the more difficult schedules …. Even though OU was given the hardest sec schedule playing the top 5 of 6 sec teams most on road, we still would have lost 5-6 games in the big 12 . OU has never had an offense this bad in its history … we haven’t had an offense outside of top 30 in probably 10 years I would guess … maybe one don’t feel like looking it up . My point is this with the defense we have it would just take an average offense for us to be decent …. Probably won’t happen this season but hopefully by seasons end we get all our receivers back and start using those elite OL we recruited . Te is a major issue for OU right now and it has been for a while , that’s something OU can’t turn a blind eye too. We have plenty of elite wrs ,that’s not Venables fault they are all young and the older guys are hurt. But to keep playing the shitty TEs we have who can’t block is his fault

Your wasting your energy, most OU fans don’t care like you do.

Yes the SEC is a grind. However, we’re just enjoying the matchups.

The grind makes you appreciate each week that much more.

This season has had some of the best matchups ever across the college football, there’s an exciting game every week.

There are some Big 12 opponents I’ll miss (OSU, K-State).

But watching OU go against the Tennessee’s, South Carolina’s, etc is more entertaining than Iowa State, Kansas, etc.

That's the funniest thing I've ever read on this site. You even outdid the juvenile's on here....Congrats

Is it normal for my finger to go straight to the down vote whenever I see a longhorn posting anything?

No this is not normal. It's a classic symptom of Tsip derangement syndrome. Check your posting history to see if you have been posting in many Texas A&M threads, it's highly contagious and those threads are rife with the disease.

The SEC is all about good football and trying to get to win 6 anything after win 6 is a bonus and a better bowl.
I understand OU is banged up on offense this year.
Don’t let these poster here get under your skin because they all love jumping on a wounded dog.
As a Vols fan I know the feeling all to well but Heupel is slowly getting us back to those big wins.
But you can never look past teams like Vandy or State I think both those teams are going to give us a fight and even Kentucky might get lucky lol

Their defense may be good enough to beat a few Big12 teams, but with no offense they'd struggle to get bowl eligible there too.

From what I've seen so far, the SEC has more talented players on average, that was always known.

Having said that there are Big12 teams with coaches who empty their playbooks and get their players worked into a frenzy that results in them giving a NCG/Superbowl type effort when playing OU or Texas. It's no secret that a Big12 coach on the hot seat can cool it off as long as they get a victory over one or both, and sometimes an extension instead of a pink slip.

Imagine a mid to late season game at some Midwestern wasteland stadium that holds 45-50k, your team is a little banged up and you just want to do your thing, collect the W and go home..then on the other side of the ball you have a bunch of 3* players with a chip on their shoulder because they didn't get an offer from one of the two big schools, and they want to prove to NFL scouts they have what it takes to go up against 4-5* players and win.

I can only speak for myself and most Texas fans but I think the gooners will agree, we'd rather see our teams play in huge packed stadiums with passionate fans even if means going up against more talented players than middling Big 12 teams. In those scenarios it's much easier for our players to get hyped and play up to the competition. Win or lose, it's still a win vs what we once had.

Oklahoma fans don’t want to admit the SEC grind is real. They try coping by saying their record would be the same if they were still in the Big 12.

The realization hits them that Oklahoma isn’t in this for just a year or two, but from now on. They realize the SEC will eat them alive and they can kiss those yearly 10-12 win seasons goodbye.

It's a lot harder. How many SEC teams are undefeated?

Iowa State would grind half this conference into dust, Mizzou included but especially OU.

No one on this board acknowledges Mizzou or OU as part of the conference

You’d know that, except you’re also not part of the conference either.

Their dominant offenses in the past didn't do too much against high level SEC opposition whenever they crossed paths.

Yep. They usually did just enough to win.
