  1. Give me OU and Texas over any of the bottom 6 SEC teams in football. And I am even more in favor of it after A&M’s AD came out crying yesterday

  8. I just don’t want a bunch of “protected” rivalries. If you play at a school for four years you should at least play every team in your conference one time on the regular season during those four years.

  21. Can't speak for others, but my stance isn't that the SEC is overrrated necessarily. However I do have a problem with also-rans taking credit for a handful of other teams' success. I would laugh my ### off if I saw a KSU fan bragging about OU's Heisman winners. This silly flag-waving for the two or three teams who dominate the entire league. A bizarre conference cuckoldry. "My wife's boyfriend can beat you up!" I don't grant the superiority of the entire league. Alabama, LSU, Georgia, and Florida have been remarkably consistent for quite some time. Their success has certainly done wonders for the lesser programs in the SEC. As a result, a bunch of mediocre SEC programs are in much better overall standing than mediocre programs in the ACC, Big Ten, Big XII, etc.

  22. Both sides of every party is talking out of both sides of their mouth... Just this off season Texas fans were starting threads talking about arkansas joining the big 12. I've been assured by OU and texas fans for years that the sec is overrated and that the 9th conference game the big 12 has is the only way yo determine a real champion. The truth is A&M fans have always cared what happens to Texas. They are rivals and thats part of it. The other truth is the big 12 teams have always known the sec was vastly superior but couldn't admit that while trying to save their own conference. Both sides of this have had massive egos and let emotions get in the way of logical thinking far too often.

  26. Hopefully Texas and Abbott will turn a blind eye to all the propaganda. The tests are useless which means the numbers are all wrong. Less people died in 2020 than previous years. This is even with suicide rates at an all time high due to constant fear porn. Texas proved it all to be a sham by getting rid of the mask mandates only to see the numbers fall dramatically. The media predicted Texas cases would sky rocket. Let's do what works( the opposite of what the mainstream suggests). Dont forget the 9 most terrifying words in the English language. "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help!" Anytime they have an agenda that doesn't fly with the population, enter the Hegelian Dialect. Problem Reaction Solution. They create the problem to bring about a fearful reaction. Then offer their pre conceived solutions, that just happen to include the agenda. This is The Rockefeller Foundations Lockstep Initiative taking place before our eyes. Which is why they keep coming up with new variants to string us along. We the people must wake up and stop giving up our rights in the false name of fear. God is in control of all things.

  27. Conference realignment: Oklahoma and Texas rumors, path to joining the SEC and what it would mean for the Big 12 By The Athletic College Football Staff 31m ago ACC and SEC media days overlapped on Wednesday. The Big Ten gets its media days started on Thursday. As it turns out, however, much of the talk during the official start of talking season surrounds a conference that got its media days out of the way last week: the Big 12. The potential bombshell dropped shortly after 3:30 ET Wednesday, when the Houston Chronicle reported that Oklahoma and Texas had reached out to the SEC about joining the conference. Almost immediately, denials, non-denials and “I don’t knows” echoed throughout both Birmingham, Ala., and Charlotte, the respective sites of SEC and ACC media days. Throw this news — however serious it might be — on top of what has already been a groundbreaking summer for college athletics, and suddenly so much of what has been publicly discussed for the future could be thrown into chaos. A 12-team College Football Playoff, for one, would look significantly different with one of the Power 5 conferences down its two biggest breadwinners. There are other potential implications, too, be it the birth of a superconference in the SEC or a potential leverage play for the ACC — or something else entirely. — Matt Fortuna Oklahoma and Texas decline to comment on reports of their interest in joining SEC • Texas: “Speculation swirls around collegiate athletics. We will not address rumors or speculation.” • Oklahoma:“The college athletics landscape is shifting constantly. We don’t address every anonymous rumor.” What you should expect from the realignment rollercoaster If history is any indication, coverage of the potential moves could get pretty wild. Potential for political roadblocks As news broke about Oklahoma’s possible desire to move to the SEC, a common misunderstanding resurfaced on social media regarding the Oklahoma state legislature and its role. The Oklahoma state legislature holds no authority regarding the athletics conference of state schools. The University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University are governed independently by the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents and the OSU/A&M Board of Regents, respectively. Chad Alexander is the former Oklahoma Republican Party chairman and lobbied for the University of Oklahoma during the last round of conference realignment talks. He emphasized in a phone interview Wednesday that a lot has changed in the last 10 years. Term limits mean the legislature and boards of regents are filled with new faces. Longtime presidents David Boren (OU) and Burns Hargis (OSU) have both retired, with Hargis’ retirement coming just this month. During the 2011 realignment talks, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were attached at the hip. Any deal sending the Sooners to the Pac-12 would have included the Cowboys. Much of that was due to Boren, both because of his relationship with Hargis, and because of Boren’s general philosophy that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State should compete in the same conference. OU President Joseph Harroz Jr. worked many years for Boren, but his philosophy on that subject is unclear. Oklahoma State’s fiery statement Wednesday after news broke is a sign of just how important it is to remain attached to the Sooners — and also indicates that it might not feel protected in any legal sense should OU decide to make a move. Still, expect there to be significant political pressure from state lawmakers with ties to Oklahoma State. It’s also worth noting that Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is an Oklahoma State alumnus, although he hasn’t made any public statements about this situation. Alexander and other sources told The Athletic that even if the state legislature were to pass a law mandating that OU and OSU remain in the same conference and even if the governor signed it, it probably wouldn’t hold up in court because of the way university governance is arranged in the state. — Jason Kersey Texas A&M’s on-the-record objection to the potential moves Texas A&M is the only school so far whose officials have offered any definitive on-the-record opinion about this possibility. Athletic director Ross Bjork made it quite clear Wednesday that Texas A&M wants to be the only SEC school in the Lone Star State. The move to break from the Big 12 also was a move to differentiate the program. Bjork reiterated this to me Wednesday night on the phone just before he and Texas A&M’s contingent took off after spending Wednesday at SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala. But if you’re the SEC, how do you say no to adding two megabrands to an already stacked catalogue? The league needs 11 schools to vote yes to extend invitations to expand, and it’s unclear who else would be willing to vote no besides Texas A&M. Former Big 12 member Missouri? Former Southwest Conference member Arkansas? Maybe. The timing of the leak of the news seems to be an attempt to slow a very fast train. — Andy Staples What would need to happen for new schools to be admitted to the SEC? SEC bylaws being what they are, 11 of the 14 current schools would need to confirm the addition of a new member. Reality being what it is, the conference wouldn’t want expansion to pass by the skin of an 11-3 vote. The league put on a united front under the late, great commissioner Mike Slive and the vibe has continued under Greg Sankey. That’s because the SEC really takes care of its members, offering granite-solid stability and mega earnings. If Texas A&M, Arkansas and Mizzou vigorously objected to Texas and Oklahoma joining the league, their voices would carry weight. Schools like LSU, Alabama and Florida also stand to face a tougher time recruiting the state of Texas if the Longhorns get to flash the SEC brand. Ultimately, there may be financial incentives too massive to ignore in realignment — and fans of the Razorbacks and Aggies actually might welcome the rebirth of rivalries. Whatever the outcome, Sankey will work to insure a consensus. — G. Allan Taylor Adding Texas and Oklahoma could solve some of the SEC’s current scheduling issues If the SEC added Texas and Oklahoma there would be plenty of big issues to address, but one would be easy: The division setup. In fact, it would solve a lot of the conference’s current scheduling dilemmas. Texas and Oklahoma would join the West, obviously, but Missouri could join them, and along with Arkansas you’d have a mini-Big Eight/Southwest Conference reunion. Then you move Alabama and Auburn to the East, evening up the divisions, as well as solving a scheduling headache: Alabama-Tennessee and Auburn-Georgia, currently a pair of cross-division annual rivalries, are now regular division games. Voila! Or the SEC could get even more creative, and go to four divisions or pods, which would allow more scheduling flexibility. Right now the conference, wedded to division-based scheduling, has too many teams who rarely face each other: Georgia has yet to visit Texas A&M, for instance, since the Aggies joined the league in 2012. If each team only has three permanent opponents and then rotates the other five that isn’t a problem anymore. In fact, it’s a much better solution than two eight-team divisions — or the current two seven-team divisions. It may not be the sole reason to add Texas and Oklahoma, but it’s a nice byproduct. — Seth Emerson What would adding Texas and Oklahoma mean for SEC recruiting? At the moment, Texas high school stars only have one in-state option if they wanted to stay home and play in the SEC: Texas A&M. More SEC options within the region mean the Aggies would lose their Lone Star State edge. Group of 5 reaction I asked Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson if the Texas/Oklahoma news and upcoming conference TV deals could lead to another wave of conference realignment. “Texas, Oklahoma, potentially could be a tipping point,” he said. Like everyone else, Thompson didn’t know much about the news other than what he heard from associates when the report dropped. “I’ve had a couple commissioner friends ask for a chance to talk and compare notes. It’s normal business. We’re all reading this stuff like, ‘What the heck, what do you know about this?’” — Chris Vannini

  28. You guys are coming off a great season, but you have won a lot of recruiting battles over Texas the last decade because of that logo on your jersey. If you take that away or give it to Texas too and you become a lot less special.

  30. Oh, I'm sure of that. From an SEC perspective, however, adding Texas and OU would be huge for them. Those two brands are far bigger than A&M.

  31. And people getting vaccinated are testing positive for Covid again. It doesn't matter if people are getting the shot(s) there are still people catching it. Schools now have a plan in place and a procedure to go by. The last school year was ridiculous and we were putting bandaids on just to put bandaids on. The real issue is that you should go back to hiding under that pine thatch in Houston County amd let the adults talk.
