Oklahoma columnist: SEC getting Sooners in ‘Golden Age,’ Texas underachieving
ATHENS — The pending additions of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC has sent shockwaves across the collegiate football landscape this week, with one more swiftly following another as it becomes more of a reality.
Comments
“These are two schools that have their whole lives been the top dog of wherever they have been: Southwest Conference, Big 8 and together in the Big 12,” Tramel noted. “And they have been able to ramrod a conference with whatever type of policies they wanted to push through.
“That turned off some people. turned off Texas A&M, it turned off Nebraska, and they know it’s not going to be that way in the SEC.”
So, we're letting in a couple of lovebirds, who are also bullies? 🤣 🤣 Alrighty, then! Let's be sure to put them in the same division. Wouldn't want them to have a hissy fit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
GO DAWGS!
Everyone says the sec will definitely vote them in. I agree, OU and Texas would not make formal declarations or ask to join if they had any doubt of the outcome. This happening also confirms that those who said a 12 team playoff is definitely coming are correct. I don’t think OU joins the sec in the current 4 team format.
LOL...Riley and OU cheesing like they just beat somebody. I get cracked up every time one of these teams act like they've arrived every time they beat an SEC "team" that doesn't give two @#$%^ about being there. Just a different standard altogether. That's not SEC arrogance--That's objective truth.
Great interview Mike. Tramel is so knowledgeable about the situation and his matter-of-fact way of speaking shows it. He doesn’t sugar coat anything. Looks like this is a done deal. Reminds me of the morning we woke up and the Braves announced that they were moving to Cobb County, what a surprise. But hey, that has been the greatest thing ever. Maybe this will be as well? Maybe?
Did the biased columnist notice that the #1 most successful athletic program in all of college sports is Texas? They just won the Director’s Cup for (2020-2021). UGA was #10 and Oklahoma is nowhere to be found. Yes, the Sooners are better (right now) in football, but Texas brings light years more talent to the SEC. Go Dawgs!!!
