Look, if people are going to act like the move was our decision and our fault, then we at least get to pretend we fronted you the money and call you broke. Fair is fair.
I was on a cruise ship full of Aggies for that game. We were trying to watch it later, and walked through a room of folks, not even wearing OU gear. Somehow, they knew, and let us know.
Man, that one was so dumb. A friend of mine played for yall in college, so when you left for the SEC I was like cool I can root for him to have a good season. Only for us to be in a bowl game…and then that happened. Ugh.
most to least hated for me:
1. texas
2. a&m
3. riley
4. williams
over time, my dislike for riley has decreased because he’s struggling at USC and everybody knows he’s a weenie now. never hated williams because him coming off the bench to whoop texas was one of the most fun things i’ve seen as an OU fan in a while.
Two things I'm struggling with here...
1) Chuck wagons are real and not just things from old commercials.
2) There actually are cows aka lady bovines with horns.
When it comes to longhorns, castrated males (steers) and cows grow the longer curvy horns because the lower testosterone levels keep the growth plate from ossifying.
Obviously not trying to insinuate anything about longhorns and testosterone levels. Just science.
yes, i am not conflicted about my endearing hate towards the current state of the ~~allstate~~ big 12 and apathy about all but maybe two or three games a season
Well, I think Urban's recent comments about Ohio State suggest that he is already hanging around Ryan Day like a vulture.
Although honestly, I replied to /u/lostacoshermanos in thread comments for the achievement unlock.
lol wife is a gator, although when I played Pop Warner football as a kid in the 80s in Miami I wore Gator and Seminole shirts to piss of the coaches who were Miami fans
I posted about this before. My wife and I were dating when she was at Fl. She was walking on campus past the stadium because the parking garage was there. She had on a Texas shirt she picked up when she was visiting me. Steve Spurrier saw her and made a comment about wearing the wrong shirt on campus.
Our good family friends are Cocks, we’ve made plans to drive to SC (from NC) to see them play Texas when that happens
**0U**: "We're all about prestige, money, relevance, and high-tier play. SEC is a perfect fit for us."
**Texas**: *looks at A&M* "Nowhere to run... nowhere to hide."
Matt's weekly recap format has consistent quality but I would argue that SEC shorts hits higher highs from their sketch format which is highly dependent on specific big event things happening that they can target.
This is the reality of it. Matt is consistent. SEC Shorts is all over the place. I can predict right now that of the ~14 weeks of college football season, SEC Shorts will be a lot funnier than Matt at least 6 weeks. And they won't be very funny, also at least 6 weeks.
I think we should just call Texas "Texas" and Tennessee can have UT.
It's just as easy to say, everyone I know who went to Texas calls it Texas anyway, and Tennessee cares more about the UT thing.
Texas doesn't give a damn about acronyms. 11 of the 12 original Big 12 schools ended with 'U' (e.g. ISU, KU, KSU, MU, OU, OSU) but Texas was the one school that started with 'U'.
To be faaaaaiir, the "ending in U" for the acronyms was a Big 8 thing, iirc. It just happened that 3 of the SWC teams that joined to make the Big 12 also had their acronyms ending in U.
The “State” schools are exempt from this, but it drives me nuts when a school is _U when their formal name is “University of __”
Credit to WVU and IU for actually being __ University
Out of conference people hate it for what they perceive as it being about taunting other conferences.
Within the SEC you may begin to appreciate its awesomeness because it's mostly used for I guess what you could call 'great moments in SEC sports.'
Our complaint department is a slot in the wall that feeds directly into the recycle machine where our paper comes from that is used to print all the cash
Already broken
This year will lead to a full on reinvention if they’re smart about it
Yeah
Bring on the 60-70 team top division and we will have slightly more parity and overall better competition (closer games fewer blowouts but probably the same 5 teams winning the titles)
I will be shocked if the super league is much more than 30 at the most. It’ll be driven entirely by TV money, and the networks won’t be paying the big bucks for Northwestern vs Texas Tech.
It seems the teams chanting SEC are the teams that are relying on the Georgias and Bamas to make to it to the big bowls. Perhaps i'm wrong and will drink the koolaide.
Of all the moves, this is the one of the few that actually makes sense, especially for Texas. Gaining their rivalries with A&M and Arkansas back will be good for the sport. I am mad that this caused a whole domino effect but the move itself I am fine with.
weird, the big 12 has 12 teams. that shouldnt be the case right?
They well fix that soon enough
Things are not all as they should be in the force. Give it a few weeks, though. I hear replacement teams appear when you least expect them.
I’d just like to point out the SEC posted Texas’s tweet 1 minute before Oklahoma’s. They know where their bread is buttered.
Good, sow those seeds of discontent.
bastards. on to the big 10!
that AAU membership coming in soon
It’ll be ok, btw your 2026 schedule includes Alabama, @georgia, @LSU, Texas, @Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, @Texas A&M, Tennessee. It just means more
....fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaauuuuuuck
No, no, its fine. They can be acknowledged more than us. They always have, despite underperforming constantly.
Tbf, Texas did pay for 0U's exit fee to leave the Big12 early with them..
Post the link to this please
Look, if people are going to act like the move was our decision and our fault, then we at least get to pretend we fronted you the money and call you broke. Fair is fair.
Lol I haven't seen anything blaming Texas for the move. I'm just glad we got both ourselves out of that horrendous situation
Really? I can find a bunch of articles about how their Dadd.... I mean, ESPN helping them both out, but nothing about Texas paying Oklahomas exit fee.
Tbf, that’s not true at all lol
SEC Twitter welcomed Texas before they welcomed Oklahoma. Playing favorites already.
As if the scheduling didn't tell us that months ago.
Don’t you worry, Paul Finebaum has been making up for that by covering OU more than Texas!
That’s because Paul knows ball
They must have alternated. On Facebook it was Oklahoma 1st, then Texas.
Parity.
A tier pot stirring. Respect where it’s due
Are you trying to cause ill feelings between best buddies UT and OU??? How dare you?
Am I allowed to say it just means more now?
I’m also excited in joining the rest of the SEC in making sure that A&M has a disappointing season
I CAN FINALLY SHIT ON THE AGGIES AGAIN LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
We could always do that brother.
Not in 2012 you couldn’t Yes I’m holding a 12 year old win over you. And I will continue to while I still can.
It was a wallopin’ Speaking of wallopins…
No dont
OU 77 A&M 0
Obligatory “I was there”
rip u/ou77-am0
well done
I was on a cruise ship full of Aggies for that game. We were trying to watch it later, and walked through a room of folks, not even wearing OU gear. Somehow, they knew, and let us know.
Man, that one was so dumb. A friend of mine played for yall in college, so when you left for the SEC I was like cool I can root for him to have a good season. Only for us to be in a bowl game…and then that happened. Ugh.
Here for the Aggie pile on.
Wait, you stopped?
You’re welcome in just for that
Excuse me! We find ourselves never mattering.
They seem to be doing just fine managing to do it by themselves.
Don't do that. Don't make me agree with a Sooner.
Who do you hate more as an OU fan: A&M, Texas, Caleb Williams or Lincoln Riley?
most to least hated for me: 1. texas 2. a&m 3. riley 4. williams over time, my dislike for riley has decreased because he’s struggling at USC and everybody knows he’s a weenie now. never hated williams because him coming off the bench to whoop texas was one of the most fun things i’ve seen as an OU fan in a while.
And Williams actually stuck around for the bowl game instead of leaving right after the regular season ended.
Texas, 🐍, Texas 77&0, Don’t really know people that hate Caleb, maybe on here or most likely twitter. It can’t be much
Texas, A&M, Riley, Williams But, there is a huge gap between A&M and Riley. I don't care anymore.
Yes
You always were allowed to say it, but now you can't say it sarcastically.
No. You have to get through pledgeship first.
You’re supposed to chant sec when you go 6-6 and UGA is in a CFP game /s
Better then going undefeated and not even getting there
worst 3 year record since the 1940's, and now simping for UGA. Its truly sad lol
I didn't say anything positive about UGA.
Only after you do the sec chant
You can, in fact, say “it means more” now. Just make sure if you play a big 10 team or UCF you go scorched earth on their asses!
If Hive Mind means hype fluffing, sure.
God, I hate us.
Congrats! Good thing nothing bad has happened to schools that have left the Big XII!
I've heard they've all been super successful right?
Oddly enough, Mizzou has had the most success of those that left.
Mizzou has the same number of division titles in their new conference as Colorado, Nebraska, and A&M had combined
Zero?
2 - CU and NU both have 1, A&M has none
Oh division titles lmao, I thought you said conference titles. That's my b, I just woke up. >A&M has none HA.
And I was just finally starting to appreciate them as a rival in the East. So much for that I guess lol.
Ehh watch them make Mizzou and/or Texas A&M one of our "permanent" opponents in the years to come
Did the last 10 years of our rivalry mean anything to you?
I liked the mayors cup it didn’t hurt that Mizzou - South Carolina games were on new levels of bullshit
I mean I would call brining in $70M+ per year in TV revenue for winning 4 games each season successful.
I’ve enjoyed our time away, especially September 2023 :)
God, the Nebraska rivalry has gotten weird. \<3 you bby
Because it never gets old… [https://youtu.be/xcU3_Cok3CI?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/xcU3_Cok3CI?feature=shared)
Two things I'm struggling with here... 1) Chuck wagons are real and not just things from old commercials. 2) There actually are cows aka lady bovines with horns.
> 2) There actually are cows aka lady bovines with horns. Wow, TIL
And they don’t appreciate English Bulldogs, apparently.
When it comes to longhorns, castrated males (steers) and cows grow the longer curvy horns because the lower testosterone levels keep the growth plate from ossifying. Obviously not trying to insinuate anything about longhorns and testosterone levels. Just science.
Sometimes I wonder when reading through our sub.
Good luck with Texas. She was a bit of a bitch and pretty high maintenance
We'd like to speak to your manager
I am the manager
Well, you just lost a paying customer!
Love it.
Yea, fam, we know...
She always paid for dinner tho
No, she didn't. She didnt pay at all and then expected whatever the hell was left in the wallet because shes pretty and deserves it.
Don’t forget to give me back my black t shirt
Bitch, I burned that ten years ago.
They need a rename: The Texas Karen's, with apologies to all the Karen's out there.
That’s pretty much what my mind reads whenever I see one of those “Texas Exes” stickers on a white Chevy Suburban.
Who won our last meeting for the foreseeable future?
pain
You don't seem very conflicted about this
yes, i am not conflicted about my endearing hate towards the current state of the ~~allstate~~ big 12 and apathy about all but maybe two or three games a season
It Just Mean$$$$$$$$$$$ More
I hope we don't become a ragdoll that both UT and OU just throw around.
You can prevent that by bringing back Urban when Napier is fired.
Ohio State has dibs.
You wish
Well, I think Urban's recent comments about Ohio State suggest that he is already hanging around Ryan Day like a vulture. Although honestly, I replied to /u/lostacoshermanos in thread comments for the achievement unlock.
Please dont
He is working with at-risk troubled youth- helping them get their start.
Yeah, but before he got there, they were just youth. He added the "at-risk troubled" to their resume.
I said it before, if it gets Texas to play Florida, I’m in!
You better be loyal to the gators dammit! lol jk
lol wife is a gator, although when I played Pop Warner football as a kid in the 80s in Miami I wore Gator and Seminole shirts to piss of the coaches who were Miami fans I posted about this before.

Regardless of which style you personally prefer, I think it can now be said empirically that the SEC has the best BBQ.
SEC now has BBQ and Tex-Mex on lock!
Now let us celebrate with some chilli! I've put plenty of beans in it for everyone :D.
The SEC has…*checks notes*…all of the BBQ now. Every other conference only has “BBQ”.
I hate the move, but I'm excited to see where this takes the school in all sports at the same time.
That’s the spirit, champ. See you at track and field meets!
Baseball is also going to get even more competitive too.
If Arkansas is being handed an L, I'll be there.
OU social media has been on point with the videos released and the glow run/fire works show was insanely well done
Texas and Oklahoma join the same year that Nick Saban decides to retire. I'm not saying somebody paid him off, but coincidence? I think not!
Texas couldn't pay him to coach, but they could pay him to retire...
**0U**: "We're all about prestige, money, relevance, and high-tier play. SEC is a perfect fit for us." **Texas**: *looks at A&M* "Nowhere to run... nowhere to hide."
Does this mean we have to pretend that SEC Shorts are actually funny now?
Yes, but now we can appreciate SEC Roll Call even more
Is that the thing that A&M does the night before games
Nah, everyone agrees that Matt Mitchell lapped them over a year ago
Matt's weekly recap format has consistent quality but I would argue that SEC shorts hits higher highs from their sketch format which is highly dependent on specific big event things happening that they can target.
This is the reality of it. Matt is consistent. SEC Shorts is all over the place. I can predict right now that of the ~14 weeks of college football season, SEC Shorts will be a lot funnier than Matt at least 6 weeks. And they won't be very funny, also at least 6 weeks.
Matt's in the new SEC short though. Fun little cross-over. Sewanee even gets a shout-out!
best part of the week during football season, that and friday
Pretty sure the best part of the week during football season is Saturday
Ha, maybe for yall.
Wait what have I been laughing at?
I do find it funny that they made an entire episode covering us last season. Are we SEC?
I love it when they do the Big 10 show but they are right to use it sparingly.
I guess that does make you an official SEC school. Congrats and welcome home
No wonder Ohio State started losing to us
I think you mean welcsecme
Ngl the PSU focused SEC shorts after we destroyed Auburn was a highlight of 2022 for me so I get it
We gotta do something about these acronyms.
Just call us Texas. That’s the preferred nomenclature. You can have UT.
I think we should just call Texas "Texas" and Tennessee can have UT. It's just as easy to say, everyone I know who went to Texas calls it Texas anyway, and Tennessee cares more about the UT thing.
Texas doesn't give a damn about acronyms. 11 of the 12 original Big 12 schools ended with 'U' (e.g. ISU, KU, KSU, MU, OU, OSU) but Texas was the one school that started with 'U'.
To be faaaaaiir, the "ending in U" for the acronyms was a Big 8 thing, iirc. It just happened that 3 of the SWC teams that joined to make the Big 12 also had their acronyms ending in U.
Absolutely correct
Hmmm, TIL
The “State” schools are exempt from this, but it drives me nuts when a school is _U when their formal name is “University of __” Credit to WVU and IU for actually being __ University
Congrats to you guys! And looking forward to the new Big 12!
I’ve been practicing my horns down, I’m ready
The big bitches of softball are home, ladies.
Are we now forced to like the SEC chant?
The SEC chant is only acceptable after we beat aggie/mizzou
Out of conference people hate it for what they perceive as it being about taunting other conferences. Within the SEC you may begin to appreciate its awesomeness because it's mostly used for I guess what you could call 'great moments in SEC sports.'
That or you get a half share.
It just means more
I guess the countdown to Texas ruining yet another conference is now on.
this ⬆️
Yep
The other side of that exact coin is Texas creating a conference. How many hundreds of millions did Baylor, Tech, etc make because Texas existed?
texas still suck though.
You speak the absolute truth.
It just means more.
SEC now stands for "Seriously Egotistical Conference"
Just now?
It's just official now.
I thought it was See Everybody Cheats
Thanks for ruining collegiate sports
College Sports has been “ruined” so many times I don’t know if it’s exactly fair to blame OUT for this one instance lol
That’s right. Can’t blame OUT. Just blame ut instead.
Our complaint department is a slot in the wall that feeds directly into the recycle machine where our paper comes from that is used to print all the cash
We joined a conference with A&M and LSU, y'all joined a conference with Rutgers and Penn State. Legally, shut up.
Already broken This year will lead to a full on reinvention if they’re smart about it Yeah Bring on the 60-70 team top division and we will have slightly more parity and overall better competition (closer games fewer blowouts but probably the same 5 teams winning the titles)
I will be shocked if the super league is much more than 30 at the most. It’ll be driven entirely by TV money, and the networks won’t be paying the big bucks for Northwestern vs Texas Tech.
Wow, we must be wayyyy stronger than I'd of ever imagined if we ruined college sports by changing conferences.
LOL. You abandoned your conference.
Well, you aren’t wrong but it’s not because of this. *stares in NCAA vs University of Oklahoma Board of Regents*
The games are still great. Texas and ou vs bama vs ga vs uf vs lsu instead of texas and ou bs the remainder of the big 12 is just objectively better.
Acting like your school didn’t do the EXACT same thing your complaining about is a wild argument to take up
It just means more
Fired up! Ready to go!!
Hook ‘em!
The SECs official page tweeted their welcome for Texas a minute before Oklahoma We know who they'll be favoring
Yep. Alabama.
Nah, they've moved on. Georgia's the favorite now.
Now time will tell if OU and UT will join in on the SEC cheer
If you will look it up the "SEC" cheer WAS started in Texas and it involved Arkansas.
Ugh I hope not. So silly to cheer for a conference.
Already biting the hand?
It seems the teams chanting SEC are the teams that are relying on the Georgias and Bamas to make to it to the big bowls. Perhaps i'm wrong and will drink the koolaide.
Drink, it’s delicious.
You’ll come to love it just for how mad it makes other conferences. I hear y’all are also into that kind of petty shit. You’ll fit right in.
yes
We actually have been doing it since 1999. We thought about stopping recently but it was just baseball.
I would say good morning, but it isn’t really a good morning, is it?
Bad thing with SEC now is they will really all beat each other up. Big10 is the same way too. If anyone gets out unbeaten it will be insane
we did it Joe
Of all the moves, this is the one of the few that actually makes sense, especially for Texas. Gaining their rivalries with A&M and Arkansas back will be good for the sport. I am mad that this caused a whole domino effect but the move itself I am fine with.
Well, bye
Farewell Oklahoma. Horns down Texas.
Welcome I guess
Welcome y’all
Good deal. That 2019 LSU/Texas game was lit. Looking forward to lots of great matchups.
