Correct answer.

And it sounds like the OP making early excuses for the beatdown OU will put on them this fall.

Because we were who the SEC really wanted, not you.

If we're going the "factual" route, most of the soil ended up in the ACC and B1G, so maybe y'all don't even belong in THIS conference.

Looking at the current Big 12 schedule, yeah, it doesn't have much excitement.

They knew at some point the playoff system was going to have to incorporate SOS into their formulas for rankings in the playoff. Big XII was about to drop down with the likes of CUSA and others. Hate it. But I guess they are here to stay.

Just read a 247 premium article about the move and all the moving parts

Pretty cool to see how close Del Conte and Joe C are at OU. They met in Tyler and drove to Bama to meet with Sankey without anyone knowing.

They drove Joe C’s F150 and they had to stop every hour and put air in the tires.

Pretty cool relationship for rivals. They said at every media days they take long morning walks together and talk shop

why do aggies assume that every major decision made has something to do with being gay? Is it because of your male cheerleaders who play grab arse all the time?
it's a common theme with you guys. Just look at any thread. It's concerning.

No one here said anything about being gay until you.

That being said, look who showed up to stick up for their girlfriend's honor.

This shite literally writes itself.

Hey, at least we proved a stadium end zone seating expansion could be done without constructing a gigantic uterus. That has to count for something

Mike Slive is a dickhead for expanding to 14 teams.

Kramer should’ve never let Arkansas and SoCar join, in retrospect.

I don't mind Arky and USCe. They have been a natural fit. Slive's worst mistake was adding fAggie and Mizzou. 15 and 16 were inevitable after that.

Why did the SEC take perennial nobodies in Texas A&M and Missouri from a conference that included bluebloods like Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska? You’re a useful idiot.

The more relevant question is why did the SEC invite Missouri to join. It had no pedigree and it isn't special in any way.

All of those championships are meaningless to this conversation Why couldn’t OU and Texas make the Big XII work?



OU was going to do whatever Texas decided to do. OU can't risk losing the Red River game, or else its recruiting would nosedive and they would become another Nebraska.

Why did Texas pull the trigger? Texas was conflicted. Texas wanted to be in the top conference with better opponents week in & week out, but Texas was also not willing to cheat at the institutional level like the rest of the SEC. It is no coincidence that, exactly one month after the SCOTUS Alston decision, it was announced that Texas & OU were joining the SEC.

The SEC was not going to let UTrans in without chokelahoma. This has all been well documented when UTrans was asking to get in. Pretty sure it was an easy sell to get blowU to join them. The Big 12 was on life support at the time.
