Going to be real fun seeing the excuses this place comes up with when we win our first SEC title in football
If I'm not mistaken OU is 8-6 vs the SEC this century and we've all seen the beatings OU has taken in the BCS and CFP against Bama and LSU...now you will have to play an entire SEC schedule...yeah it will be a long time coming before OU wins an SEC title...

This is so stupid, and it's already been proven false. At the end of this season, OU will either finish in 2nd place in the nation or 1st place. Just deal with it. They have had a great season, and there's nothing else to be said about it.
This SEC talk is pathetic at this point. Yes, the SEC had a great postseason too. Yes, on average, the SEC is way better than the Big-12 as a whole. OU's season doesn't change that. This year doesn't change who OU is as a program either. It's one season, any way you want to look at it. But it's a great season. Just give it to them, shut up, and move on. This postseason is not, nor is OU's history, an indicator of what they'll be once they've settled in to the SEC. By all accounts, adding OU and Texas will only make SEC baseball better/stronger.

And even with that OU would be doing better than A&M's average of 3.5 conference losses per year since joining the SEC. I'd bet you that same bet that in its first 10 years OU will do better than A&M's three winning records in conference.
Look, I am not MOJO-a-hole... I know it's going to be a transition, but OU will still win more games than not. Most OU fans feel that OU will lose more games than it has in the past, however the condescending idea that many SEC fans seem to hold that OU will be nothing better than mid-tier in the SEC is not very realistic either. The truth lies in the middle. OU will lose, but they will BEAT good teams as well. The SEC is about to become even MORE competitive that it has been, and that is saying something.
I dont know what you think I would say but I feel exactly like you do A hole or not ..... We are not going to be a mid tier team .... every year we will be in top 4 fighting for a chance to play in sec championship. You little guys at Ole miss and South Carolina have no clue about OU.... We have a coach who has changed the culture and we will be a changed team by the time we have entered the sec you will see this season what I am talking about. We may not have the same talent but we are not talent deprived. Look at Clemson and how they man handled Bama with little to no talent. Good coaching makes up for alittle talent deivation and I mean a little. Will UGA and BAMA continue to out recruit OU absolutely. Remmeber Venables just got the job 6 months ago and he is behind recruiting. Everyone who thinks we are going to be some mid level team is just fricking retarded..... the teams we have beaten the last 7
years ... Tenn twice Auburn Florida Bama. Are those mid level teams? Tenn some years but the others are not. The teams we have lost to Bama by 11.. UGA in double overtime and there was LSU which we had 4 of our top players suspended and we was outclassed no doubt about it. You guys are living off the top teams wins you as a whole have no done jack shite to OU and are actually losing more games than winning. If you are good enough to make a playoff then talk about how good you are I have zero respect for the small schools who promote the hardest conference ever and never ever are the ones winning those playoff games.

OU is in good shape in baseball every pitcher we have used has 10+ strikeouts as a starter. We havent even had to use many pitchers. Our hitting is fantastic. Arky is dangerous imo.

Good Point.
The SEC has the best Baseball in the country; no doubt. The SEC footprint also covers more than half of the southern half of the US, including more than half of the State schools in that area. A reasonable expectation is that the SEC should send 3-4 teams to the CWS every year, which they do.
OU has made a great run. Give it to 'em. Same for Arkansas, Ole Miss & A&M.
At the end of the day, only one team will win the CWS and seven will not. Doesn't make them losers, or chokers, or whatever. They all earned their place.

So LSU, Florida, UGA, and Auburn that all have played for and/or won multiple National Championships since Oklahoma last won theirs is hiding behind Bama ok

OU will be just fine. They'll often lose to the national champion like they've been doing, and they'll beat the billy badass 8-4 teams that go 4-0 against cupcakes and .500 in conference and beat their chest over Bama or whoever outside of Bama puts together a NC winning juggernaut before going back to finishing 8-4. Rinse and repeat.

Guess you forgot about ‘03, Bama is not the only team from the SEC OU has lost to in the NC, but I don’t blame you for wanting to forget that one as well, OU has a history of losing big games.
Posted on 6/23/22 at 11:22 am to NeckBeard
Not at all. Was at the 2003 game. It was a bummer.
You might want to exercise some reading comprehension though. The post to which I was responding referenced OU's beatings by both Bama and LSU. No SEC teams run around beating their chest over LSU's NC teams because LSU is up and down. Bama dominates yearly.
The post was talking about how OU doesn't just have to play Bama and LSU now, but the rest of the league. I'm saying no one gives a shite about the rest of the league. OU has lost to the very best the SEC has to offer, just like all the teams in the SEC. OU has beaten the not quite the best the SEC has to offer. OU will be just fine and no one is pissing their pants about playing all the other SEC teams propped up by scheduling and ESPN coverage.

True. Both OU and Ole Miss had the opportunity to go in with their rotation set up, OU took that opportunity against the #5 Aggies. Ole Miss could not get it done against #13 Arkansas. It really boils down to this. IN the end none of this really matters as Miss State proved last year.

You inadvertently make our point here. OU has 6 losses to the SEC, Four of them came to the SEC champion and eventual National Champion, 1 of them came against the SEC #2 (1 play away from National Champ) in 2OT. The rest of the SEC was 5-43 against those teams. So you see that metric is a bit skewed and not very indicative of how OU would do with a normal SEC schedule.
