BREAKING Sec additions–Texas, Oklahoma inquire about joining SEC per report

[Padreruf]

The UTx fans that I've observed the last day or two have done nothing to change the view that they are insufferably arrogant. They seem to be despicable - hopefully it's just a fringe element that I've encountered.

No...that's the real UT fan...and we are going to have to put up with them whereas before we could just ignore them as irrelevant. Oh well...

Oklahoma are no saints either. They are the whiniest bunch but far more tolerable than Texas. But good grief I can’t stress how annoying “Boomer Sooner” really is.

They think they’re Dash Riprock, but they’re really Jethro Bodine.

They could set a new all time record for bans from one school! Isn't that held by LSU, btw?

I would guess that is the correct answer. That seems more likely than Auburn/Tennessee.

Yeah, I'd imagine Texas will eclipse that number in short order.

From everything I have heard today, Oklahoma is almost a done deal and texas "things are still being worked out"

Someone is going to get left out.

I do think the Big Ten would be perfectly happy with Kansas and Iowa State.

Kansas?!

They have to give Nebraska a team they could potentially beat every year.

Plus if they add Kansas, they would instantly become the best basketball conference by a lot.

Of course. SMH.

Come on, you know it's for the best.

it sounding like it is texas being texas and probably making demands before they are even in.

Apparently Oklahoma has been discussing this for 6 months.

Wait... OU always beats Texas so this is really no surprise.

If this statement prompts someone to delve into politics the comment will be deleted and the poster is subject to an involuntary vacation, but how much does the Texas legislature lacking a quorum play into the timing of this? There is no way for the legislature to intervene to stop it right now.

Trusting Texas with money is like trusting an arsonist with a lighter.

I doubt Abbot would call a special session over it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t a player in this thing.

I think the whole point with this story breaking was for aTm to cause chaos and potentially force Texas to stay put due to pressure. Texas has left in the middle of the night before on conferences so I guarantee you that was probably their plan.

Leaving this here

Bama has won 6 National Championships since the last time Texas won the Big 12.
