[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3611581, member: 43126"] As a born and bred Longhorn, I pray Texas doesn’t go! Hopefully Sarkisian will finally turn them back into at least a competitor. Mack Brown was a great recruiter, but no coach, before he left, along with the billionaire sponsors, they injected a deep rooted cancer, that destroyed the football culture in Austin. It’s funny, but until 2012 or so, I cared little about the OU-Texas game. When A&M left, OU became Texas’ biggest rival. Since then I’ve come to hate them even more than A&M. Anyway, aside from the fantasyland fans, who can’t think realistically, I can’t see the majority of OU fans wanting their team to go either. I can nearly guarantee I’ll find at least a couple of those fans with my comment. They’ll be the ones that refer to OU as “we” or “us”, or use the word “us”, at least with my experience with OU’s fan base. There are several good fans, that live in the real world though. As with most of my buddies that are good fans, we all enjoy the rivalry for what it is, and we have good clean fun at ribbing each other. My go-to with them is I remind them of the overall Texas vs. OU record. That usually ends the laughter at me, lol. Anyway, the Big 10 would be a much more even fit for both of them. There OU would probably win 30%-40% of the conference titles, maybe 50%+. As long as Nick Saban and eventually Kirby Smart are in the SEC, OU fans would have to accept not winning titles. They would only win 5%, no more than 10% or so titles. Of course some will say that they would settle into the SEC culture and become the top dog. Yes, they would settle in, since their recruiting would go up. The best players want to be in the SEC, since their chance at a ring is realistic. The thing that would hold OU back, is geography. If I was a young stud, 4-5 star, I’d go to Alabama. Anyway, I am 95% positive OU will destroy Texas this year, I leave 4% Texas keeps it within 10, 1% for a Texas winOU has too many returning starters, as well Texas lost too many starters, to give Texas any more of a chance. All that said, this is the first year in several years where I really don’t think OU is overrated, but I’m sure hoping and praying they turn out to be just smoke and mirrors.
