Eh, Texas isn’t that good of a school. I have a degree from there, that’s how you can tell.
If you’re a state school, you simply aren’t THAT good of a school. Just because some other state schools are even worse doesn’t make your school good.
At the end of the day, it’s all just gate keeping and the individual’s intelligence and drive matters more than the degree for 99% of cases.

re: Chips are down: Have you ever boo'd the opposing band?
Posted by Yokelhoma on 8/21/26 at 6:20 pm to Marcelo Lavanda
Kind of tacky to boo other bands,
…but before the OU/Texas game each band plays. When Texas’s band plays, they march from their half of the Cotton Bowl towards OU’s, and at a certain point when they’re more towards our half of the stadium, they stop and there’s a moment of silence for about 5-10 seconds before they resume. It’s somewhat of a tradition for OU fans to boo during that moment.
Other than that, no, I don’t boo other bands.

This is right, but Venables is a much better defensive coordinator than Sark is an offensive coordinator. Texas's offenses have been okay under Sark but nothing really noteworthy, while OU's defenses have been basically some of the best in the country under Venables.
So that's why I'm a bit more bullish about Venables than Sark. I think OU has a higher ceiling under Venables + Great OC than Texas does under Sark + Great DC.

Ah shite, last time they did this it was in August 2024 to get ahead of the shitty season they knew we were about to have.
6-6 incoming on the year.

You're conveniently forgetting the fact that one side loses a lot of money also when going against the narrative.
You can't get a paper published or a grant, arguing against climate change.
Do you think this amount of money is at all comparable to the amount of money at stake for a company like ExxonMobil? There's proof that Exxon knew fossil fuels were linked to the Earth warming decades ago. But they covered it up and paid for misinformation because it wasn't in their financial interest to let that be known.
I'm from Oklahoma, I know what the O&G industry is like. They'll try to convince you the sky is green if it keeps their profits high. Which is completely natural because they're businesses that need to profit or die. I just don't trust a word they say and don't think the climate science community is anywhere near as compromised as them.

Seems to be a lot of climate experts on this board. What's the consensus here for Europe clearly seeing rises in temperature?
I'm not a climate expert. I see that a lot of them who have studied this stuff way more than I have are saying we should be taking more action to stem greenhouse gas emissions. On the other side, I see people who have a direct financial interest in emitting more greenhouse gases saying these people are wrong and to not listen to them.
I don't think it takes a genius to figure out which side has more reason to lie and spread misinformation.

Big 10 would laugh all the way to the bank if the SEC willingly gave it UT, OU and A&M. Nothing would stop it at that point.

Literally goes against everything this country stands for, but this is par for the course for some of you idiots these days.
Typical MAGA responses here. It's either fake news or it's true and these guys are pussies.
Always the people who scream "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" the loudest who don't actually support the troops when the time comes. Very similar to people who wave the flag the hardest who actively hate the ideals that made America great.

I'll be honest, I didn't even realize Mississippi St wasn't included until the comments.
Oklahoma St is literally the Oklahoma version of Mississippi St. You don't want them.

Uh, yeah, we had Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer, and the best years of Bob Stoops by 2007. Those easily compete with the coaches you listed, and I'm not even counting Bennie Owen since he coached 100 years ago.
Found this ESPN article from 2009, so only a couple of years into Saban's run. Has OU as #1. Bama isn't even top 5. Saban put them ahead of the pack in a massive way.

Could be OU tbh. We play Michigan week 2 on Big Nude Saturday. So if the SEC wins the few somewhat tough games in week 1, and Mizzou beats KU, it could be us. I expect us to win as well but Michigan is pretty good.
Bama doesn't have 16 national titles, lol. Only AP/UPI titles for pre-BCS years count. But they still have many more than us due to Saban.
Prior to Saban, OU had a better program historically than Alabama. Saban changed that drastically, and Bama is probably going to have the better historical program for the rest of our lives because I don't see OU getting a Saban anytime soon.

re: Oklahoma team win total
Posted by Yokelhoma on 8/4/26 at 2:47 pm to The_Giving_Tree

OU fans and insiders frequently overrate their talent. We have heard this kind of preseason stuff before only for them to go 6-7. Average skill position players across the board (they are calling Parker Livingston a “stud” which should tell you a lot). Their QB is massively over-hyped. Their defense is very solid but elite? No. 8-9 win team.
8-9 wins would cover the win total, FWIW. 9-3 would be a good year for us with an outside shot at the playoff.
And our win total last year was 6.5 and we won 10 games, so I'm not sure where you're getting this idea that OU fans overrate our team every year. Seems like the opposite in fact.
Oh yeah, and if our defense isn't elite, then no defense is elite.
I give zero shits about any team besides OU and am going to laugh my arse off when Ohio State punks Texas.
Having said that, yes Big 10 fans are annoying. As a relative SEC outsider who has a different view of the Big 10 vs SEC discussion than long time SEC people, I can say it’s clear they’re just very insecure after being dominated by the SEC for a long time, and also insecure about how boring their league is (see the TV ratings for proof of that). I remember when OU was in a similar boat.

Confirmed that this is more annoying to OU fans than "Welcome to the SEC" which doesn't make sense because we just went 10-2 and won a baseball national title, so...things are going pretty well.
Think Venables is trending up and Heupel is trending down, but that could flip in a year.
Personally, OU already did the "great offense, shite defense" thing for a while, and I prefer having a great defense even if we're still trying to find a good offense. Having a great defense instills a toughness component to your overall team and its mindset. So even if the stats are equal (or Heupel has slightly better ones), I'd choose Venables for that alone.

Some folks seem to still think we’re Big 12/Lincoln Riley OU, we’re a completely different program these days. Very defensive-minded and tough.
I like playing y’all though, great program and fans. Kind of wish we played you every year instead of Ole Miss (though I know you have teams you’d rather play yearly over us).

Agreed, if our Oline is that good we probably win the conference. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Anyone who thinks OU isn’t going to be good is in for a disappointment. Except for Texas who apparently has our number even when they’re kind of shitty like last year.

Worst thing about Oklahoma. Glad I live in the lightest county (which is also unsurprisingly the best county in Oklahoma).
