We're not going back to the Big12. Nope. We're fine here. We will adapt.

I can relate to this on a personal level about difference in regions or states on football. Here in Oklahoma in the '90's there was a wide gap between 5A and 6A football. 6A at the time had a different play style. More finesse, speed, "west coast" style offenses, and also more of a "rich get richer" environment.

5A had more of the large rural schools, which had more of the country boy tough guys. It was faster defenses that could defend the run better than 6A schools (imo and observations at the time). The players in 5A football were just built different. In fact the most dominate 6A program at that time only had 1 loss in their 6 year run of state dominance and it was to a 5A school in Tulsa.

That same 6A school had their 2nd string underclassmen QB transfer to my 5A high school and on to our football team with me. Myself and everyone else warned him the defenses were faster and harder hitting that what he was use to in 6A. He became our starter but after running the gauntlet midway through the season in our district (which at the time was considered the toughest district to be in regardless of Class in Oklahoma) he froze up in a game against one of our rivals, got lit up and never saw the field the rest of the season. He literally broke down on the sidelines. He met a crashing LB that read his QB read play like a book and was up in his shite in a nano second.

Coach pulled him out of the game and he literally was wide eyed scared on the sideline. Coach asked him to his face if he was pussing out him, after he asked him twice, the QB finally admitted he couldn't take it and pulled him out.

To put our 5A district into perspective. My senior season I played in games against 7 future D1 Starters. 5 of which went on to play in the NFL and 2 were all-Americans at their D1 Schools. 1 is a 4 time pro bowler, 1 time All Pro and 2 time Super Bowl champ. One is a college coach now.

So yes I can definitely relate and agree with what your saying because I've seen it on a micro level.

For us being "sad" you sure seem to pump up OU quite a lot. Who's sad? We'll take our L and prepare for next season. Just like everyone else. Now some of you radical fanatics of programs start losing, y'all are on suicide watch.

And that is pathetic.

Waaay more to life than football. But given how much time many of y'all spend on this message board, I can't imagine you have much of a life outside of it. :nana:

BAS strikes again.
