Sorry dude but you’re an idiot….

Imagine going to a packed stadium with NFL talent on the other sideline and they want nothing more than to beat your arse.

It’s a dumb argument that you make…you are saying that somehow playing against 2 and 3*’s is harder than a team full of 4*’s

Wrong. Not one OU fans would ever want to go back to B12. We may be down this year and likely won’t make a bowl game but we won’t be down forever. This year was a perfect storm of misfortune but we’ll be back.

And the game atmospheres are 10 times better than the B12. Thats what excites the fans. Everyone wants to win it all but only 1 team does. Its the experience of college football that matters week in and week out.

The fans of Tenn and SC had a great time in Norman and those who went to Auburn did as well. One year does not define the future just look at how good Mizzou and aTm did their first year, compared to where they were in the years after. They did good to start and faltered. We are doing bad but will get better, and after 4 years we’ll all have a better picture

And another thing, every team now has a harder schedule and days of undefeated are likely over. 1 loss will be like 0, and 2 like 1. With so many quality teams there will be logjams going into final week and after. The conf is going to be a bloodbath to navigate for all teams. And its making way more weekly games exciting.

arse beat? We were beating their arse until we choked it away in 2OT. Oklahoma State may not be very good this year, but neither are we.

It still doesn’t change the fact that Oklahoma ain’t in Kansas (Big 12) anymore.

Get fricked, Zero U fan.

Well it is nice to have a conference wide MB. In the Big 12 it was just team based MB

Our problems this year are more internally generated than external. So it is not a good year for saying the grind is X% harder because this is not an OU offense.

Obviously the schedule is harder, and we play more ranked teams.

I am glad we are in the SEC and playing a new set of teams. I was tired of the same old set of teams. The only game I really looked forward to was the RRSO. The rest were blah except Okie St was a rivalry on a lower level than the RRSO.

The 5 top WR being injured is weird and happened before SEC play, so we didn’t even get to start SEC play with a passing game intact.

But like i said with all the internal problems it is not possible to accurately comment on how external factors compare.

Better defenses as expected , on par with the Big 12 offensively…the problem for us is, we have had such a spectacular offensive collapse this year, that it’s hard to gauge with total certainty….at this point, we may struggle offensively against a really good high school team. I have never seen our offensive line this bad. Ever.

I suspect Oklahoma would be 4-3 / 1-3 in the B12 this season too with the WR room wiped out and the putrid OL -


Yeah, I'm not sure why so many think this is an SEC thing more than it's their offensive talent just isn't anywhere close to what it's been in the past. If they had even a mediocre offense this year they would be much better b/c their defense is pretty damn stout. Their only good offnsive showing this year was game one against a terrible Temple team.

They could only put up 16 on a terrible rebuilding 2-5 Houston.

The Sooners scored 34 against Tulane but their offense struggled quite a bit all game long in this one as well. Their defense completely shut Tulane's true freshman QB down which gave them great field position all game long and a then forced a couple of turnovers (1 int, 1 tod) in Wave territory in the 4th quarter.

We all saw how they beat another offensively challenged team in Auburn w/the pick 6.

They just flat out have a bad offense and if their D can't create turnovers or hold opponents to a mess of 3 and outs they probably aren't winning.

You either have reading comprehension issues (understandable considering your logo) or you're reading into what I wrote what you want it to be.

I never said it was "harder", just explaining how a team full of 4-5* players sleepwalking into a game they'd rather not play can get beat by hyper motivated players that didn't get offers from a big time program. I'm sure the OU people on here can tell you about that as well.

For that matter, did you miss Vandy's win over Bama a couple weeks ago? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Superior athletes doesn't automatically mean you can just run over an inferior team and make them tap out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I remember when people here, like you, said UGA was scared of Oklahoma when the SEC cancelled the game a year or two back.

How stupid and hypocritical do y'all look right now?

Riding our dick for beating Texas, and laughing at Oklahoma for being a joke.

Arkansas, please. TTU or Baylor could probably beat y'all. Iowa State would beat every team not named LSU, Bama, Georgia, and both UT's.

I did see the game…and that was an immense outlier….one of the greatest upsets in SEC history…led by multiple transfers and a QB that beat Auburn last year.

I know exactly what “you wrote” and what “you meant.”

You insinuated that playing a group of scrubs that you overlook week in and week out is more difficult than playing teams loaded with NFL talent week in and week out…it’s a bad argument with faulty logic.

This isn't really a good year to answer this question in a fair and honest manner. This offense is so bad it's gonna make any defense look like the steel curtain from the 70s.

Yes, it's harder to get your team MOTIVATED

No, I never said it was just as difficult, read again. All I'm saying is the denizens of the rant can't understand how Texas or OU ever lost a conference game or even had a close game against inferior athletes and I told you exactly how that can happen.

You proved my point with your breakdown of how Vandy beat Bama. Big12 teams are still P4 which means the winner automatically gets in the playoffs, and most of the schools have pipelines into the best recruiting states. They may not match up well player to player at every position with SEC teams, but they still recruit well at QB, WR and occasionally get a stud or two on defense.

Consider '22 when TCU got beat by K-State in the Big12 CCG, yet were still able to beat the same players that won the natty for Michigan the following year. Yes they got curb stomped by Georgia (several players injured against Mich) but they still made it to the title game.

I (and most other Longhorn posters) have acknowledged the quality of players in the SEC are better overall than the Big12, but that doesn't mean if you have a bad day and they have a good one you'll still pull out the victory because of the patch on the players right shoulder.

Texas, your opinions don't matter because you've only faced one real SEC test and you failed miserably.


So who are the other real SEC tests? Do we have any more real tests in our schedule or are we through for the year. I don’t remember hearing about this tier of teams when I heard the SEC was the best, top to bottom. Or, is this conference simply top heavy with Bama and Georgia at the top with the rest being middle tier and bottom feeders that brag about wearing the SEC patch?
