In the 2000s OU played a murderers row regular season schedule against the likes of K State, Kansas, Iowa State, Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU. Its a wonder that OU survived physically playing those high end South Georgia and average Metro Atlanta high schools.....
TCU was not in the Big 12 in the 2000's.
Our 2000 championship team beat #11 Texas, #2 Kansas State, #1 Nebraska, #23 A&M, and #8 KSU in conference before beating #1 FSU. The point being that we've played tough schedules before.
Things got a bit easier the last decade or so. I don't think anyone would argue against that although the once bottom feeders like Baylor and Kansas are no longer bottom feeders or guaranteed wins like they once were.

I think this is probably the most spot on answer in this argument. The RRS isn’t really about what’s going on on the field it’s more about the setting and atmosphere. Like this sooner says it’s basically an event. It’s a unique atmosphere. I went in 2021 for the first time and had a good time. Didn’t really see any hatred on either side
OU won that game. That would explain your experience at least after the game was over.
As someone who was on the losing side my first six times to attend that game, the atmosphere after the game is far different when Texas wins vs when OU wins.
I remember constant chants of OU sucks and horns being shoved in my face. Finally, I attended a game where OU won. OU fans just exited the stadium like true winners with class. I was a bit disappointed because after six losses, I was ready to dish it out but by that point I was too old to justify going at it alone.

It was a great game. It was Caleb Williams coming out party and he put on a show. After that game I went to College Station to watch A&M beat bama. It was a definitely a day to remember

"As good as Oklahoma was at times during that period they were middle of the pack good in the SEC."
OU was usually better than even the best team in the SEC in most of the years in the 2000s.
Both of these statements are absurd.
2000 - I think we would have won the SEC.
2001 - Weird year. Great defense and good offensive skill players. Terrible offensive line. We would have won most of the SEC games we played but not competed for the SEC championship.
2002 - We beat 'Bama who would have won the SEC West had they been eligible by 10 points. (Not claiming that was a great 'Bama team.) For what it is worth, the SEC champion Georgia beat 'Bama by 2. In no way was that a mid-level SEC team.
2003 - We lost to LSU by 7. I would argue that a healthy Jason White could have easily changed the complexion of that game. Only team to play LSU closer was Ole Miss. But LSU won that game and deserved it.
In no way was OU a mid-level SEC team that year.
2008 - Lost to Florida by 10. The game was tied mid fourth quarter. Considering we moved the ball at will much of the night but couldn't punch it into the endzone, most OU fans think OU would have won that game had Demarco Murray been healthy, But like the LSU game, Florida won it on the field with the players that were available.
But, again, in no way was OU a mid-level SEC team that year. That Florida team beat Tennessee 30-6, Arkansas 38-7, LSU 51-21, Kentucky 63-5, Georgia 49-10, Vandy 42-14, South Carolina 56-6, and #1 Alabama 31-20. Ain't no way to justify the argument that OU was just a middle of the pack good SEC team.
I would agree that due to our defensive struggles the last decade, you could make the argument that we were middle of the pack many of those years. I welcome a future when we only make the playoffs after being challenged. There were years where we made it to the playoffs when I knew we didn't have anywhere near the defense to make it competitive.

They are lovers. When they first joined the conference, having no association with any Texas or Oklahoma fans previously, I imagined there would be some antagonism between the fan-bases.
This isn't so; they love each other with a burning passion. It is very difficult to find a Texas fan criticizing Oklahoma or vice-versa on this site.
Look at their history. Oklahoma is the battered wife who obediently obeys Daddy Tex.

OU was not on par with UGA and Alabama in 2017
Everybody with a working pair of eyes could see OU was better than both Bama and UGA that year. UGA needed double OT and a defensive collapse by Mike stoops to win that game.
Oh and OU played more NC winning programs yearly than UGA did in the big 12 pre split. Big 8 OU played the same Nebraska, Texas, and Colorado teams that were winning NCs along with OU. You are a dumbfrick that obviously can’t remember what football was like before 2012.

I'm an oef army veteran.
If the taliban was playing the longhorns I'd put on a man dress and scream jihad till the the end of the game.

Pure delusion. We used to respect Nebraska, we've always hated Nebraska. When the news came out that OU and Texas were coming to the SEC I posted here than I was very happy, but felt dirty that we were bringing them.

I think their relationship seems weird because Horns think they are better than Sooners, which makes sense. The weird part is that the Sooners agree.
No idea why the Sooners are so scared of making the Horns upset, it isn't 1960 anymore. Probably just generation after generation of Sooner's working for Horns, who knows.

Utrans fans created most of the original Oklahoma accounts because they were afraid of being picked on
You actually took the time to get it wrong though, by pasting my name onto someone else's response.
Are you rattled?

Oklahoma and Texas are the same; there is no difference between the fans of both teams. The actual teams aren't that much different either.

I suppose so. Maybe they are just in awe of Texas too, since the Longhorns are such a better team than Oklahoma has ever been historically.
Perhaps they see the Longhorns as their mentors and what they would like to be one day and respect them in that way and this is why they give them such deference in every football related matter.
Most SEC fans aren't used to that type of cuckoldry.

Yes, that is becoming more and more clear. It's bizarre. Frankly, it's disgusting and probably makes many here want to vomit.
I wonder what happens if a Longhorn fan breaks the bro code and really starts insulting a Sooner about their head to head record or something like that?
Would the Sooner fan crack and feel betrayed and start crying or would he just run away while shouting something about Texas fans being duplicitous, side-winding cowboys?

its weird. For years, decades even, Oklahoma would beat Texas like a drum, yet whenever Texas told Ok to jump, it was always "How high?".
The teams might hate, the fans surely do, but the admins had a dominant/subservient relationship that I can only hope SEC membership will finally sever.

No shite OU isn’t our rival and has never been. That’s what makes you two giggling and trolling about everything A&M or Mizzou together like a bunch a school girls cringy.
Oklahoma is the tag along friend trying to mimic the cool guy to fit in and be popular. They don't know why they dislike A&M, it's just that Texas does and that is good enough for them.

As if Oklahoma was afraid of insulting them or causing friction of any type, as if they didn't deserve anything and Texas did.
Classic cucks. They are probably intimidated by the wealth of Texas and much better educated residents and better looking women, etc... and want to be on their good side at all times to not feel adrift and alone.

This is probably 30% correct. If OU is shiz, as a fan, I don’t expect good recruiting and if we do(pre NIL) then it’s obvious why they are. They could get 10 5*’s and be like why not, we’re texas. Texas fans are on a different level of delusion. I grew up in the border, I had to deal with those ppl just in general. Imagine being hated bc you’re from a different state and to your face they will actually say they’re better than you bc they’re from Texas. I love the state but they definitely need to check their arrogant residents and fans.
