The truth is that we could buy and sell Zero U and Okie lite. We'd both already be in the SEC if you weren't so poor. The Big 12 buyout is chump change for Texas. I'll be glad when we finally join the SEC and no longer have to drag you and the rest of the Big 12 around on our coattails.

I see you have your pink pimp hat and yellow patin leather shoes on today. Do you have a hundred on each side of that stack of ones you got in your wallet? Can't wait to get you chared urnge shitheels between the hedges.

UK spent that just on upgrading the stadium. All told I think UK has spent close to a billion in the past decade. The budget for the new baseball stadium was supposed to be like 22 million and I think they actually spent over 50 million. I looks nice but dang, that is a lot of money.

It is going to be an eye opener when you see what the SEC spends but it is paying off looking at this years Learfield Cup

At the conference level, the SEC leads all Division I conferences with seven institutions in the top-25 – Florida (5th), Arkansas (7th), Kentucky (9th), Tennessee (13th), LSU (16th), Georgia (19th), Alabama (19th), Ole Miss (20th), Alabama (22nd) and Texas A&M (25th)

They are even behind in this thread. We announced a 1.5 billion with a B campaign a few months ago and at that time had already raised a billion of it.

A good chunk of that is going to baseball, and fixing up their garbage football stadium

Glad to see our programs upgrading as we plan to enter the SEC. I just worry that this amount of money being thrown around isn’t sustainable.

It's a pit, like everything in Oklahoma. You'd be better off with a tornado coming through, wiping it out, and having to start from scratch

This is just club donations not money that’s being raised for stadium expansions or facility upgrades. No SEC school besides maybe A&M and bama bring in this much money JUST on their club donations lol.

It isn't always how much money you have, it is how well you invest. OU has invested well enough to beat Kansas every year.

Texas has become everyone’s homecoming opponent….even Kansas’s. No one does less with more.

I have been to dozens of aTm games, as I have family that went there. Also know a few mid-level donors, (that are actually pretty good people and above the average aggie).

The OU campus, including the stadium was built with a planned look that provides continuity. It is also a stadium that goes back decades. I know you guys get twisted because you lost so badly there. But no need to be blinded by it. Big concrete does not equal beautiful.

You should be happy we both just bent Texas over and had a gang bang in recruiting this weekend.

I love bad news for Texas. However, I am very familiar with OU’s campus and stadium. It needs significant upgrades. And I mean significant
