Those 2 may not come close when TX and OU were in their previous conference, but as an SEC rival, TX/OU is just the game being played that week in my opinion. It’ll still be big to fans of those 2 schools, but it’ll be a while before a majority of the SEC make it that way and it still won’t be at the top.

I turned on sec network Sunday night and it was nothing but a Texas suckfest (fittingly during pride month). I think Finebaum found his new school to suck up too. This whole thing doesn’t seem right and I’m finding it harder and harder each year to get excited about the upcoming season. Sad to see what CFB has become.

Don't worry. With Texas, it's a vicious cycle. Go .500 last year? "Watch out for Texas, they'll be tough to beat!" Have a good season last year? "Texas is in my top 3, no question!" Over and over. Texas has a football culture problem but even after decades of failing to meet pre-season expectations, they're still a media darling leading up to 2 or 3 games into the season. Just ride it out.

Chokelahoma has been that way as well. hell toss USC in also. no matter had bad a season they had, they are always highly touted the next year only to lose a game to a team that should be running out of the stadium.

Vandy and Ole Miss is a more interesting rivalry than that Big-12 horse shite.

Alabama has three rivalries more interesting than Texas/OU.

It's no longer really the SEC anyways.

Not a chance. Stupid question.

There’s no way a game that kicks off at 11am will ever get as intense as a similar game at 6-7pm.

I’ve been to UM-OSU at noon and you simply don’t end up with the same atmosphere even with similar stakes because the tension doesn’t have a chance to build all day and the crowd doesn’t get a chance to tailgate and drink meaning they don’t get nearly as loud.

There is a huge difference between a noon kick, a 330 kick and a 6pm kick and it’s apparent to anyone who has been to lots of big games.

HORNS DOWN.

NO...Next question please

They lost all credibility when they changed it from the Red River Shootout to the “Showdown” (Gheeeey) to the “Rivalry”. Real rivalries don’t succumb to the mob.

The SEC died

TerryDawg03•18 months

Even if they still called it the Red River Shootout, it wouldn't come close.

I don’t think that the RRR can surpass the Iron Bowl.

What kind of stupid question is this? Pfffft.

HarryBalzack•18 months

Texas ain't shite, so how could they even be in consideration. Plus, they suck.

P2K•18 months

Auburn sucks worse

HarryBalzack•18 months

No matter what they do, that game will always be "the old SWC/Big12 rivalry game."

The quality of the athletic performances of the players from OU or UT is just not the equivalent of an LSU or Alabama player.

BabyTac•18 months

UT is about to own LSU for several years

chadr07•18 months

I’m sure UT thinks they are going to own the whole SEC until yall get hit in the mouth. Y’all aren’t doing shite in this conference. Hell y’all rarely ever won the little 12 conference lololol

Their fans think it’s important. It’s been irrelevant for quite some time.
