Garbage thread.
OU doesn't get caught up in stadium capacities.
Owen Field has been there since the beginning and like Notre Dame, its an historical football field that has history and tradition, something that only a handful of SEC teams have and respectfully so.
OU and Texas will do fine, and that's not even including the dominant sports that they bring to the table:
Texas- Baseball
OU - Softball, Men and Women's Gymnastics.
OU and Texas will bring more championships from many sports to the SEC.

I think the cold reality they’re currently facing is just how much the remaining B12 teams hate them.
The really harsh reality is what games are like when you don’t get the calls going your way.
OU got butt raped by the officials on multiple plays against Okie Lite. They had to be scratching their head. “Is this what it’s like?”

8th and spitting distance to Auburn and Florida.
I'm fine with that.
I'm fine with that.

Dude....we've sucked for 13 years. We lost to Kansas at home. Beating Iowa State is not even a possibility for us anymore. Reality has been gut-punching us for a long time.
The SEC move has a chance to save us. Hopefully, this will motivate university leadership to hire a real AD who will then hire a real head coach.
I would still bet the farm on Texas winning an SEC conference title before A&M.
What A&M and other SEC fans don't realize is that A&M moving to the SEC hurt both OU and TX in recruiting, especially defensive talent. Neither of us were getting the guys we got 10 years ago.
It wasn't just because we were losing guys we would normally get to A&M, more and more were going to other SEC schools because they now had a solid footprint in Texas.
Texas recruiting will pick up significantly. They are still the flagship university in that state.
OU could be hurting offensively but I think in two to three years our defense will be dramatically improved. In the short term we're bleeding after this week and we know that.
Will we lose more games, make the playoffs less, and win far fewer conference championships? Absolutely. But there are a lot of up sides to the move.

Missouri would know
Their dumbass players and fans thought they'd waltz in and be good. They are routine bottom feeders instead

Oklahoma will walk in the SEC struggling.
That's your Arkansas insecurity talking.
Arkansas always viewed themselves as peers with OU. It was only the SEC keeping them down.
No matter that recruiting rankings year after year tell a completely different story.
Now we have the chance to prove otherwise and that makes them nervous.

That's exactly the point being made in this thread you inbred. You can go in against a 5-6 last place team and come out with an L because that last place team recruits annually in the top 10 and has 100,000 inbred cajuns such as yourself giving their best rebel yell in your face all night.
That doesn't exist in the Big12.

I'm going to ask again,, since no one answered in the other thread I posted in:
How in the hell is THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA called OU? It's not OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY. Just dumb...
And I'll explain it to you dumb fricks for the tenth time.
I can't say exactly why, but it was a Big 8 thing. Nebraska is NU. Colorado is CU. Kansas is KU. Oklahoma is OU. Missouri is MU.
All of the above are "the University of".
Try to remember that. Maybe we should put a sticky on the top of the board.

Nope. Arkansas and Oklahoma are close in the rankings this year and with Sam pittman, Arkansas will continue to get better. Oklahoma WILL NOT win an SEC title each year in the SEC. Oklahoma had it easy and had an advantage. Those are now gone and they will struggle against tougher competition.

Missouri has a winning record against Oklahoma State and Baylor
Try again
You ran those records up when Baylor was the worst team in the conference year after year. How many of those wins were by Briles, Rhule, or Aranda teams.
Baylor 2010+ is nothing like the older Baylor.
Oklahoma State isn't traditionally where they are today although they have had periods of flashes like they are having right now.

That is aggie. They have never had a proper view of their place.
Nothing they did in the Big 12 should have led them to believe they were better than anyone not named 'Bama.
And, again, we are not Aggie. I know you remember the days of Aggie winning the SWC back when you were in that conference but they've never been a top 5 team. At best Aggie was going to the Cotton Bowl and getting their butt blown out.

I'm not talking this year. I am talking traditionally. I've known Arkansas fans who thought for 20 years their program was on par with OU. Since you will dismiss anything on the field, I can only point out that year after year recruiting rankings told a different story.
Texas has always been the lifeblood of Arkansas recruiting. The problem is you are not nearly as close to Texas than OU. We share a 715 mile border with Texas. You share a tiny border with Texas and your school is far from that. The northern suburbs of DFW are 45 minutes from the Oklahoma border and 2.5 hours from Norman.
We also produce more D1 players in state than Arkansas does. While I am sure OSU pull more than Arkansas State, they don't pull a lot from OU.

Riley was saving his own skin. He could see the writing on the wall with OU's move to the SEC. They could bully the B12 around with Texas. But all the advantages they had in that conference disappear the minute they join the varsity. They are in danger of becoming another Tennessee - a program steeped in tradition that relies on out of state talent to feed the machine. That's fine when your only real competition for north Texas high schoolers is Texas.
LR got out while the getting was good.
I've got no problem with Riley not wanting to be in the SEC, that's his prerogative. But you don't have to hit the self destruct button on the way to the escape pod. That was vindictive, childish, and shows what an egotistical little bitch he is.

No one on this site or any SEC fans in real life care a bout Oklahoma football history. Just as they didn't care when Arkansas, South Carolina, A&M and Missouri joined. It is not what you have done in the past but what you done NOW. None of those schools have done anything yet and Oklahoma will join having the same amount amount of SEC titles which is ZERO.
Arkansas doesn't recruit Texas as much as they use to. Sam has made an emphasis on recruiting other SEC states like Georgia. Also the Little Rock metro is getting better at developing talent while Northwest Arkansas was pulling up the slack. Arkansas has more high school football talent than what people realize but the coaching and development has been missing for decades. That has changed recently.

Arkansas did great this season, no doubt.
When is the last time Arkansas won a conference championship or Heisman? Have they ever won a national championship?
Arkansas is good, but they're on the level of Iowa State.
Oklahoma State is a better all around program than Arkansas.

Arkansas has more SEC titles than the rest of the SEC in all sports.

Mizzou went 16-8 in conference our first 3 years? Maybe not the best example for a team thinking they’ll come right in and have success lol.

Missouri didn't have the arrogance that OU has now when they joined the SEC and those teams played with something to prove. I give Missouri credit for that.
