frick that. I’m all in, as a fan, on UGA playing in the last SEC CG and winning it 3 times in a row. There is no advantage to it, in fact it is a disadvantage, but being a fanatic means being illogical. GO DAWGS!

We need to put Georgia in bubble wrap until the playoffs. They’re gonna mess around and bow out quickly again.

You thought $100 million would skip a couple of steps in the process? More and more I’m thinking you and aggy are natural rivals.

The Aggy-LSU game is kind of like Temu Texas-Bama if you think about it.

I doubt we could beat Arkansas or Vandy right now.

Where’s Texas when you need ‘em, right?

Is Simmons going to be back for Texas?

He was very limited but he played yesterday.

Imagine hating Texas so much and then they punk you in your stadium with help from the officials. Damn.

Angling for the Jimbo retirement package.

I really appreciate that you took the time to watch it.

That is exactly how the SEC thrived. Funny you say it doesn't work then you go to a conference where that is the lynchpin.

Now we’re getting somewhere in the conversation. Texas has ALWAYS been looking for this type of relationship with its conference mates. The problem has been the imbalance between the have and have not schools. If the Big XII could have had revenue sharing and produced enough tv money to be in the neighborhood with the SEC and B1G we would have never left. The issue was that in the Big XII that would not have been the case, it knee capped Texas ability to recruit and compete nationally.

The Big XII was essentially asking Texas to forfeit all its fertile recruiting ground to the SEC and B1G and forfeit its natural resource advantage, fall behind the B1G and SEC financially as well, forfeit the fact that it’s a national brand that draws more eyeballs than everyone but Notre Dame and play on a third tier tv package. And do all of this so that Iowa State, Baylor, TCU, can maintain the illusion that they’re competing at the highest levels. Oh, and make all these sacrifices while being absolutely loathed by the schools you’re propping up.

The Longhorn Network was an attempt to both prop up all the welfare Big XII schools while giving Texas an opportunity to get whole again on the side. Nobody really loved that either preferring instead a conference TV network. Nevermind that Texas was the visionary here initially proposing the Big XII conference network as a solution to these problems. Yeah, it was widely rejected by everyone (nobody thought it would work). Next Texas goes to A&M and proposes a Lone Star Network. They tell us to pound sand. So Texas goes it alone and everyone leaves.

Texas will be quiet as a church mouse in the SEC. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Tennessee (and that’s not an exhaustive list) are plenty of firepower to pull along the few SEC schools who don’t produce at the same levels. It’s a balanced healthy marriage of schools that have the same primary goal — compete for championships in football.

SEC is tuff. Not like the days when Oklahoma and Nebraska were the only valid teams in your conference

Whether a founding member or one of the newly added schools, I think we’re all experiencing a level of schedule strength that’s so different it’s gonna take some getting used to.

I know this thread is just a troll But for those who want the real story. Sooner football started the decline the day Stoops turned over the team to Lincoln Riley. The team was worse each year under LR. Then LR bailed to USCw and took players and coaches with him. Since then it has been a rebuild, then NIL and portal happened. Venables brought back defense but has picked bad OCs and bad QBs….

Yes. And as an aside, if you want to know what a successful transition to first time HC from full time DC looks like Bob Stoops is a fine example. It doesn’t take 6 years for a DC turned HC to produce a productive offense.

Don’t blame the SEC because you can’t live in fantasy land anymore. OU hasn’t been a championship football program for a long time and neither has Texas and that’s because we withered in a dying conference for a decade plus. Texas couldn’t even make it out of the conference and OU got wrecked every time they made the playoffs with the most pathetic defensive performances I’ve ever seen from a blue blood. Honestly, that was more embarrassing than OU’s last few year because you got a glimpse of your peak in the old Big XII and it wasn’t remotely to your standard.

OU is going to be fine and it feels disgusting that I have to be the one to remind you of that. I’m sorry your hoops team got embarrassed but pull your fricking panties up.
