BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Embarrassing Texas would be good for the Texas program. The boosters & wealthy alumni will then realize doing the good old boy shit will only get you good as Georgia….. maybe. Same for Oklahoma with a token caveat, at least the Okies were in the mix for the Natty. bgw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 31 minutes ago, Bormio said: LSU reaches into Texas as well What school doesn't reach into Texas or recruit Texas? LSU doesn't have the first commit from Texas this year...so far. https://247sports.com/college/lsu/Season/2022-Football/Commits/ 2021-2 commits 2020-3 commits 2019-2 commits 2018-3 commits 2017-6 commits I don't think you can say LSU has raided Texas recently. That said. Texas could send 10 teams to the SEC and LSU will still pull some Houston area kids if they want them because of the university's and state’s connections to Houston. We will be more than fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Oklahoma St is like "what we do now?"......which is a great question. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are big mad that the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners are likely gearing up to head to greener pastures in the SEC. I mean very mad. “We have heard unconfirmed reports that OU and UT approached Southeastern Conference officials about joining the SEC,” Oklahoma State officials said in a prepared statement after news broke yesterday. “We are gathering information and will monitor closely. If true, we would be gravely disappointed. While we place a premium on history, loyalty and trust, be assured, we will aggressively defend and advance what is best for Oklahoma State and our strong athletic program, which continues to excel in the Big 12 and nationally.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Some of those Big 12 teams would be good fits in the AAC with Houston, Cincinnati, Memphis UCF, South Florida Tulane, SMU and etc..... That League has 11 schools playing football.....they could use 2 or 3 more. I don't think anyone is going to want to rush to the Big 12 to replace Oklahoma and Texas. The entire landscape is about to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL You must've forgotten how easily Texas A&M and Missouri competed in the SEC when they first got there. Newsflash: every SEC school knows what it's like to get beat-down by the best program in college football. Oklahoma has beaten Alabama, Auburn and Florida in bowl games over the last 8 years. They'll do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChimpGrip Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 11 hours ago, TheMaximumHornetSting said: Idk Oklahoma has had the SEC's number when it mattered most... outside of Georgia. One thing I give the big 12 flack for is no defense.... But OU offense has always been Potent like Rattlesnake venom. Outside of Georgia and Alabama there's no other high powered Offense that you can even compare to Oklahoma in the SEC. As of now anyway.... I think Oklahoma in the SEC would throw a screw into some of yalls line of thinking.... And Texas with their money would eventually catch up.... Bama beat OU in 2018 Orange Bowl.

Caj was downplaying Texas’ relevance for LSU, but it it their #1 OOS site the last 10 years with 37 signees, more than twice the number of the next state. And it is just not the #, but who signs. If the SEC wants Texas, LSU will have to be bought off. And they may well be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
