#1 The SEC will inherit a college football blue blood, it doesn't get much better than this.

#2 7 National championships, 7 Heisman trophy winners, the 47 game winning streak, college football history, OU will blend in quite well amongst the SEC Big 6.

#3 OU is a softball and gymnastics power house, this will benefit the SEC. The women's softball national championship was awesome this year and the Women's College World Series resides in OKC.

#4 The SEC gains the DFW TV market. I currently live in DFW and there are OU fans everywhere, I've seen way more OU and UT fans than I have A&M fans around Dallas and Fort Worth, its wild.

#5 OU is the new QBU. Mayfield, Murray, Hurts, and soon to be Spencer Rattler. Who's next, Caleb Williams? Malachi Nelson?

#6 OU is borderline RBU. Adrian Peterson, Samaje Perine, DeMarco Murray, Joe Mixon, Damien Williams, who's next? Kennedy Brooks?

#7 OU fans travel well. Ask Bama and Tennessee fans, there was mutual respect and opposing fan bases are always welcomed in Norman and treated with respect.

#8 OU brings innovation to college football. Think early 2000s spread, 2008 no huddle spread with Bradford Gresham, and the Pistol no huddle with Heupel as offensive coordinator. So much innovation that Nick Saban adopted tricks from the OU kit bag.

#9 OU has an elite brand that is respected nation wide, just think about the matchups:

OU @ Bama, Georgia @ OU, OU @ Florida, LSU @ OU, Auburn @ OU. These will be marque matchups that will be awesome to watch.

Switching to the SEC excites me purely with the matchups. I will miss Stillwater and Manhattan, but the SEC matchups will bring excitement.

I don’t mind OU. Your fans are whiny bitches, but you bring rich history.

You don't have to sell yourselves- we like you. Certainly more than when Missouri announced and all their fans from TigerBoard raided the place

Oklahoma is a quality addition

Can you bring OSU with you instead of that bloated has been?

UGA welcomes OU!

As for RBU, UGA takes that honor (sorry).

Your tradition does fit in well with the SEC's, especially with the Big 6 (Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, Florida).

Great matchups are on the way...lots of excitement, hopefully.

Again, Georgia welcomes Oklahoma to the SEC family. Let the games begin...

Does bringing in Corby from the little Ticket really count as bringing in the DFW media market? I mean, for one thing, it's a radio station, not TV.

I don't think anyone has an issue with OU.

Yeah, no..
1) Earl Campbell
2) Ricky Williams
3) Jamaal Charles
4) Cedric Benson
5) D'Onta Foreman

You aren’t even RBU in your own state..
1) Barry Sanders
2) Thurman Thomas

And you didn’t even list arguably the best Sooner..

I got nothing against Oklahoma.


But I don't think you are SEC. It's not right.

I glossed over that shite list of RBs for Oklahoma.

Not even sure that would be top five in the SEC.

Arkansas already has the DFW area locked up. Ever heard of Jerry Jones? DFW is ours.

Why would you cancel “Bedlam”? There are plenty of permanent cross Conf rivalry games in the SEC. as mad as OSU is , there is no way they would give up their largest gate every other year.

Well, one thing is for sure. No more Heisman Trophies for Lincoln Riley. Because OU won't be playing second-rate competition in the Big 12 anymore. Thus, that means that Lincoln Riley won't be able to deliberately run up the score to pad his QBs stats up anymore. So no more Heisman Trophies for OU anymore.
