re: Can't Post on Oklahoma Board, so I will ask my question here....Sooners

Most of these recommendations are pretty good.

I'd add The Standard if you have kids with you or a large party in general. Food is pretty good, tons of tvs, and lots of beers to choose from.

The Mont is also a Norman staple, but that's mostly for their drinks, their food is not what I would recommend.

Volare on campus corner has good pizza. If you sit on the rooftop, you get a great view of campus corner and the stadium.

If you get into town well before 6 you can also try Midway Deli. It's a sandwich place just a little north of campus in the heart of a neighborhood. Barry Switzer frequents there depending on the time of day.

re: Why did Texas and Oklahoma follow A&M and Mizzou to the SEC?

Posted by polaroid1984 on 11/18/25 at 9:20 am to QBUMizzou

Wouldn't really consider joining the conference 12 years after these teams to be "following," but I'll bite:

1. Post-NIL and House Settlement, maximum revenue is crucial for continued success. Big 12 through media rights and viewership was not bringing home the bacon.
2. The quality of opponents in the Big 12 was significantly diluted. OU would run through their conference schedule and then get blown out of the playoff. If you want to win the title, you need experience playing high-quality opponents.
3. Nearly every recruit in the south/midwest wants to play in the SEC. Playing an SEC schedule gives OU a significant recruiting advantage.
4. Game environment substantially diminished the more OU stayed in the Big 12. Hard to get fans fired up to play Iowa State, Kansas, or West Virginia at 11AM.

Ultimately, it is very simple: if you want to beat the best, you gotta play with the best.

Mateer injury aside, tx came to play that day. Often times, the team that wins the RRS is the team that wakes up and wants it more. tx (sadly) seemed like they wanted it more that day.

re: OU and Texas, how often do you expect to win the SEC?

Posted by polaroid1984 on 10/26/25 at 4:34 pm to Uga Alum

The “expectation” at Oklahoma is to win it every year. The reality may differ from the expectation. But the expectation from the fans is to win every year.

If TBOW couldn’t field a competent defense at Oklahoma, there is no way he can ever get to the championship. The 2017 team was his best and they still won multiple games against no nonranked opponents by one score.

Nothing that he said was inaccurate. "Oklahoma" dominated the "old big 12 days" objectively, something many on this site have pointed out consistently. Many of those Oklahoma teams that dominated were under BV's tenure as DC during his first stint here. Most notably, going 7-2 in Big 12 play to 2-6 in SEC play the following year really just proves the point.

While this may be true… this is Oklahoma and it is perfectly valid to think not scoring a touchdown 3/4 matchups is unacceptable. It’s really time to stop with the excuses but it hasn’t done us any good but prolong this dumpster fire of an era.
