You're just rambling now about a bunch of random, hypothetical nonsense from one post to another without any cogent thoughts or points you're trying to make.



You will fit in with a lot of other fans here. Avoiding a subject by claiming the poster is FOS without anything to back it up. I claim OU will be fricked now if they do not join the SEC and UT does. It will damage them in TX and anywhere else they try to recruit. They will not be able to stay in the Big 12,the Pac 12 sucks and will suffer even more if the SEC expands. They would likely go the way of Nebraska if the join the Big 10 and the ACC would never work out. You claim they recruit well east of the Mississippi now, what is going to happen if they are just another team outside the SEC that is in the middle of the country ?

In short, its the SEC or be fricked for OU. UT might enjoy the Pac 10, but I think they already played that game in their heads.

A thoughtful analysis by the OP. Likely pretty accurate.

I will be interested to watch it play out, as there is a scenario where it is a disaster for TU. Yes, they can now claim SEC, but so can OU, aTm, Arkansas, Mizzou, LSU, etc...and there is a good chance all those teams will be too much for the current TU to handle.

It won't be easy to recruit if you're 3-8...

Personally, I hope this plays out with Texas become the liberal doormat for the SEC.

Show me how OU will prosper if they do not go to the SEC at this point. Say UT and OSU goes, what happens to OU? How successful will they be ?

Winner: Arkansas

We get our long time rival in Texas back. A new regional rivalry with OU, and with realignment Alabama should be off the permanent schedule.

Big wins for Arkansas.

I'm not interested in entertaining your rambling, hypothetical imaginings quite frankly.

Hey idiot is it going to hurt our 7 recruits we’ve gotten from Texas the last several years lolololol, nope. Just another dumbass Bama fan that thinks he knows what he’s talking about.

Ala-Aub > OU-Tex

This is definitely a win for us.

Which tells me you do not have an answer and you know the only option for OU is the SEC right now. I think they will do well in the SEC (not dominate), but if they do not come they are fricked.

I don't even know what the fricking question is at this point. It's rambling, mindless jibber-jabber about hypothetical "what ifs" that are never going to occur.

You want some sort of pat on the back about your conference or some goofy shite.

Did Kansas Sate have 6 weeks?
How about Baylor?

I didn't think so. If you can't beat Baylor and Kansas State, then you won't beat LSU, Alabama, Florida or Georgia. Probably won't beat Texas A&m, either. They actually know how to play defense.

3 weeks ago nobody thought Oklahoma and Texas would be coming to the SEC. His question might not be a mindless jibber-jabber like you think.

Bama is a loser in this. They will no longer be the dominant SEC power.

Their recruiting pipeline from Texas will slow to a trickle. Texass has one hell of a lot more NIL money than Bama will ever think about having. I don't care what the bama qb has gotten.

With shut down of the Keystone pipeline, Texas oil prices will go no where but up. In 5 years these will be "the good ole days" for bama.

Solid post.

Yo son, your a guest here. Is this how you conduct yourselves in someone else's home.

Let me set you straight. The Big Ten won't take you. They see you as white trash hillbillies.

So go to the PAC 10. Play in Pulman at midnight eastern time on a Saturday night. See what that does for your Boomer Sooner brand

No. Son, your right. You head east and your in for some major arse beatings.

My advice is go home. Write your college president, and do whatever you have to do to keep that thing afloat. Yous school has screwed up son. Best stick to big twelve flag football and be satisfied with your annual playoff one and done

It'll be like '69 all over again, it the days of Bill Montgomery and Broyles.

This will be great for Arkansas
