They’re literally one of the top programs of all sports in the country. You love Texas but they’ve beaten Texas more than twice as many times in the last 25 years and beat them more since World War Two. Never understood the hate on OU other than they’re statically better than almost everyone, with far less resources, than most. Plus they have this guy. And he makes football bad arse

I had a blast on my trip to Norman, OK in the fall to watch SC-OU. Their fans are great. Definitely an SEC fit.

I think OU is going to adjust just fine.

They weren't let in to compete. They were let in to bring helmet revenue and get their arse kicked.

Same reason the SEC brought Texas in.

Except that didn't work out for you baws.

I’m by no means an OU fan but you should take a lap for this post. OU is a great addition.

UTrans wanted in the SEC. They could tell that the SEC was the premier conference and that the Big12 was embarrassing. Then Sankey and the board told them that the only way UTrans can get in the SEC is if they can convince their daddy Chokelahoma to come too. They didn't really want to bring blowU with them. They were tired of getting dominated by blowU in every major sport. In the end, they decided it was better to bring their daddy than not get in the SEC at all. Then blowU embarrassed them again by not having the funds to make an early exit.

LSU is a top 3 all time program in baseball, and hands down the best in recent decades. Even when LSU is down they're still better than most every school. Wish we would've won, but losing to a program in a low scoring slugfest is nothing to panic about.

I consider Oklahoma closer to an actual Southern State than Texas.

As a person who was skeptical of adding UT/OU to the SEC when it was announced, I NOW think the two additions have been healthy for the SEC.

UT made the CFP PLUS both schools did well in MBB/WBB, Gymnastics, Baseball., and Softball.
