No matter how it turns out, can we all agree this season is shaping up to be one of the all-time greats? There are SO MANY storylines to follow and enjoy.
@@woodcrest4655 false. Hated that weak ass schedule too. UTM, UAB, Ball State are cupcakes. GT hadn’t really been challenge or decent team since Paul left after 2016. Egregious out of conference schedule. However - that wasn’t their original schedule as the Oklahoma game got removed since they were joining the league. UTM or UAB was last minute replacement for OU. Vandy is Vandy but they do catch 1 SEC team slipping a year.
As a life long SEC fan. I'm excited to have OU and Texas join us because as a conference it's only going to make us and them better! Every time Texas and OU played the SEC no matter who it was it made them play at a whole different level. I'm sorry they honestly had to play down below they're actual level whenever they played Big12 teams. It showed and hurt them whenever it came time to get on the big stage! So I say to they're fans welcome to the SEC and let the fun begin. Because it's going to be an epic ride for all of us.
Paul is right. But it weas more about the $$$ and National Brand Name Recognition A&M was receiving for being in the SEC. The Big 12 is Damaged probably beyond repair. It was Texas that did the damage. It was their Greed and Pride. If they had created a Big 12 Network instead of a Longhorn Network. It would have helped all the teams not just Texas.
Where you get your news from matters. Texas and OU shared profits with the rest of the Big12 for over a decade even though they brought in 75% of the money. Then they get accused of killing the conference. Texas AD DeLoss Dodds tried to start a Big12 network and only Kansas (probably for basketball reasons) was willing to pony up the money. Next he tried to start a Texas College Network and in the middle of those negotiations A&M announced that they were leaving to the SEC. So ESPN approached Texas with a deal and they took it. Texas kept the communist Big12 alive with welfare for a decade. A conference that has 50 million fewer fans in its geographic footprint than the next smallest power5 conference. Texas was the only thing keeping them on life support
The SEC is too strong for even Texas to wreck. Texas wrecks conferences by constantly threatening to leave. Well, the SEC can tell Texas to pound sand. Where is Texas going to go? The SWC and the Big XII needed Texas. The SEC does not.
As a diehardTexas fan, let me assure you that Texas respects the SEC schools and their teams. Yes, we are proud of Texas but we are more humble than we let on. We will compete as best we can and trust that yall will too.
LOL! Are you kidding me. As a Texan, Texas does not need the money Texas has more money than most countries. And neither have a problem recruiting. They left for the competition and the recognition, the opportunity to play the Alabama's and Georgia's. Its all about bragging rights and power.
Neither team needed either of those things. Texas has 1.5 Billion in revenue from sports alone. The largest sum in NCAA history and they recruit in the hottest bed of football talent in the nation. Both schools have more money than half of the schools in the SEC
You are absolutely correct!! Kissing Texas a$$,,seriously?? Horns get handed a potential playoff spot 1st year; Ark.Vandy,Kentucky, TexAM,Miss St,Georgia Florida! Im praying with everything I got,that Michigan plays so surprisingly well,they knock Texas out 2nd game,,,Then you got Horns at A&M,could be another loss,,then the Dawgs' in Austin and Red River Rivalry! There is the possibility Tex loses 4,,,everything I've seen or watched has Sooners losing to Mizz,Tenn,Texas,Ole Miss and Lsu but beating S Carolina ,Auburn and,Alabama to finish at 7-5
@@robertshodeen4501we have the 10th hardest schedule. Maybe you should worry about English classes before you start reading schedules bc you clearly don’t know how to write a fucking cohesive sentence.
@flyingeagle8231 Only to have Lincoln Riley's USC get a horrible wake up call going into the Big 10, where a high flying offense led by a generational talented quarterback, is not going to get them to the top of the division, against teams like Ohio State or Michigan that are no slouches on defense. Which Riley did not invest in when he was at Oklahoma and now here at USC, the defense got worse every year. If Riley actually tries to get solid defensive players to give the Trojans a good defense against Big 10 teams maybe they have a shot at the Big 10. I do not see it happening. Oklahoma was going nowhere with Riley as head coach, sure heisman here and there with Baker and Kyler, but it gotten us nowhere near a natty against teams like Georgia or Alabama. Oklahoma is defensive minded now to where they could probably hold their own against said programs and possibly come out on top. Ultimately I think Riley is going to still try play hero ball offense in a conference that will stop that shit from the snap.
@@jaym8257 It will make Oklahoma tougher for it, the Big 12 was a cupcake schedule with games like Oklahoma State and Texas being the tough perennial matches with Oklahoma going nowhere close to the National Championship game. The SEC, sure, will make Oklahoma humble but also teach them how to play in the SEC when every game is going to be a grind, a slog to get through.
@@mstevens94 Absolutely true. I find it entertaining based on my experience with OU and Texas fans that in the end, Texas and OU had to come to the SEC to get back to the big stage. Have fun duking it out with the Mississippi schools and Auburn who get overlooked at times. Nobody in the league backs down.
Cousins Mike and Shane, as an Aggie fan, I’m glad you got Paul to say something we fans knew but were never told…..that A&M was promised NEVER to admit Texas. Thanks for confirming that TRUTH. Of course, now I want their ass in the conference so we can kick their T-Sip asses (win or lose) again each year.
What does that big Aggie energy do to Aggie brains? Kick TX ass....again? 76-37-5 is not kicking ass unless records are somehow confusing. The 76 represents Aggie losses to TX. Hope I cleared that up for you! See you soon at Kyle field and can't wait for the next viral Aggie yell video to laugh at.
Is there anything more Aggie than asking for a promise like that? Aggie will always be little brother to The Flagship. Without Texas to hate, Aggie has no identity at all.
@@Chris-zg7ty A&M and Texas are .500 since 1975. Ya'll love to trumpet that all-time record from the early 20th century when we were an all-male military school during WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam and could barely field a team.
Nobody is scared of the SEC, New Mexico St proved that as did Michigan as did Washington who beat a defacto SEC team. With that being said Texas & OU will Be just fine
Texas is a stand-out in class. When UTX plays UTN in basketball, they have our former coach, Rick Barnes. We treat it like a family reunion and throw a party. If a player goes down on either team (or a ref or a fan or whatever) we will hold a silent horns up for that injured player. Did I mention we have a lot of money?
Hating on OU and Texas will be nothing new to either.... the culture shock will be for other SEC teams not realizing that the Sooners and Longhorns will bring 20k fans to each stadium
@@ShaunRHouser With what OL depth? Y'all keep talking about how Bedenbaugh is gonna "get them right" which even if we imply that your starting 5 OL are the best in the SEC (lucky to be an above average unit) y'all are going to have little depth in the trenches lol. Also y'all are putting all your eggs into a JA sized basket who is a good pocket passer but does not have the ability to escape the pocket like DG (or the majority of recent OU QBs). Combine that with the 2nd toughest SEC schedule, y'all might wanna lower your expectations.
@@mccowc0w The OL and new QB you have a fair point. The part about Jackson Arnold not being as good or better than Dillon at escaping the pocket, you might want to redo your research. JA is even better than Dillon when running!
A&M will find a way to pussy out and run away from Texas again, like they did in the B12. I give it 3 years max, before atm finds a way to leave Sec, and runs away again like the little brother they are😂
@@Allen-hg2hu Honestly that’s the worst take ever. Take a look at the UT v A&M rivalry over the last 50 years. A&M has won more games during that period of time, which I’m guessing by your naive comment is longer than you’ve known how to spell football. UT will definitely have an edge in the near term, but there was a decade previously where A&M would have beaten the snot out of UT. I love UT, but the arrogance of the fans just a couple years after being beat regularly by Kansas is sometimes hard to take. Either way I’m looking forward to the games.
Well A&M caught a lot of grief when they joined from Texas. The SEC was a step down. And I had an OU colleague who felt the SEC was beneath the brainiac level of OU. That OU needed to be in the PAC 12 with Stanford and Cal. Well they cried uncle and the SEC threw a lifeline to them. I will look forward to seeing Ole Miss, State, Alabama, Georgia and the like pounding their heads every weekend. They will win some and the Blue bloods will win some.
Quote from a Bama fan on the streets of Tuscaloosa after Texas beat Alabama last year: “Damn, y’all. You’re nice and all, but does there have to be SO MANY of you????”
@flyingeagle8231 I don’t know every Horns fan that watched Texas beat Bama in Tuscaloosa, but everyone in my group, and everyone else I know that was there has a UT-Austin degree. 🤘🤘🤘
@flyingeagle8231shout out to the lamest comeback ever to be made!! Majority of fans of every sport and college team are t shirt fans. Who cares! If you think calling us T shirt fans is an insult it’s not. “Haha you didn’t go to the university you support!” Okay?😂😂😂
@@patrickkillabrew6207don’t worry. Majority of people who pull for every other school didn’t go to the universities either. Don’t explain yourself to people being purposely delusional
The SEC isn't ready for the level of arrogance and condescension that Texas fans are about to rain into the league. If you thought the Bama fans were arrogant, just wait until you get a taste of the Longhorns pretentiousness...LOLOL. There is nothing worse. No school does less with more than Texas, yet you'd think they won a championship every year...LOLOLOL. Get ready, SEC, it will blow your mind.
Hahaha! Arrogant?! Please McFly. You guys in SEC back country are just jealous that we have Austin and are actually in modern city with amenities that is closer to Hollywood than Bubba-ville SEC. Just because we have fancy restaurants, golf courses, and water parks don’t mean we’re pretentious.
As an Aggie, I am appalled we would allow the tea-sips - who had become irrelevant - into the S.E.C. I never wanted us to join the S.E.C. but I sure as hell don't want to have to put up with a school whose arrogance and greed was the reason we left the Big 12.
The gaggies have been irrelevant forever, no titles to speak of, and like the little scared brother they are, run away when they have someone who is better then them at football. You had 12 years alone in the SEC to do something, anything, and y'all still didn't do shit, just like you didn't do shit in the B12. atm fans never seem to get the football fans, and just fans in general are laughing at you with the way you are and are so desperate to be relevant. I can always count on atm to do something stupid for the entertainment of others to enjoy. Like hiring a assistant to the assistant to the assistant baseball coach with no proven winning history as a head coach, to be their new "guy", because everyone else of importance for coaching told atm NO, we don't want to coach at your stupid university, and embarrassing fanbase and traditions. Texas basically stole your wife, and said you won't do shit about it and like it😂 UT does, and always will own atm as a program. 😂
How is it A&M’s fault for Texas joining? They didn’t want to play on their arch rivals TV network and when they saw it was going to happen then said “we out.” I’m trying to understand why that’s a problem? Texas wouldn’t want to play on an A&M network if that were the case. 😂 Also A&M isn’t upset about it all the Aggies I know including myself are excited about it. A&M isn’t the same A&M from ten years ago. If Texas thinks their gonna come in and roll them they have another thing coming
Texas A&M and Missouri should of stayed in the Big 12 😂. Why in the hell would A&M and Missouri think they could compete with Alabama and Lsu and Georgia every year.
I'm a longhorn and even I can admit that there's some truth to this. It's pretty clear the SEC was the best conference where the best players wanted to play and we could either sit back and let A&M eventually pull away or join the sec ourselves. Like the saying goes if you can't beat them join them. No one's going to Dethrone the SEC so we were left with no choice if we wanted to stay relevant. I don't really care why I'm just glad that the Lone Star rivalry is back because I've missed it
@@SM-ws9sy that’s the bad one, but Oklahoma State has played Ole Miss three times and never won. Nebraska lost to Ole Miss, Texas Tech finally won a bowl game in ‘22 after three losses to Ole Miss in bowl games. From 1998 to the TCU game, only one bowl loss for the Rebels !
Aggies love to use this one. Not really the diss you think it is. Texas is such a brand that even those who didn’t attend, cheer for the school. Not many schools can claim that.
Am I not allowed to support any university athletic programs since I didn’t go to college? Even though I’ve watched college sports since I was 4 years old? Genuine question
Oklahoma and Texas have SEC facilities, fan bases, etc. A&M and Nebraska had that. However, TCU, Baylor, Kansas, etc. did NOT have that. OU and Texas need to get used to having bigger fanbases from all their rivals. It will be more like the Big12 of the early 2000s than the Big12 they left. Big12 had some good programs with decent fanbases like Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, West Virginia, etc. but nothing like the SEC.
Mind you OU and Texas have some of the biggest fan bases in all of football. They play eachother every year in a 50/50 stadium. Which none of the SEC ever does. Texas plays in front of 100k every home game. OU has beaten big fan bases during their dominance. Texas has beaten Georgia in recent time. Have beaten USC in recent time. By record owns Alabama. Also has a winning record against majority of the SEC. Y’all just be yapping bro. You have no idea what you’re talking about. If you think Texas can’t handle “fan bases” then you’re just being purposely delusional. You mean one of the biggest if not the biggest fan base in all of college football has to worry about other fan bases? Texas has to worry about its own.
Tennessee here and while I expect OU to be good I am interested to see how they handle 5 SEC opponents in a row. OU has break with Maine and finishes with Missouri, Alabama and LSU. That's 3 tough games @ the end of the season for any program.
Nebraska knew that Texas University and the Oklahomea couldn't be trusted as conference mates and they bailed early. The butthurt from both the Sooners and Longhorns when teams started jumping ship at the Big 12 was deafening, if not entertaining.
Everybody hypes up texas because it gets them views and clicks which brings revenue to their channel's. Its pretty obvious and happens literally every single year. Anyone with a brain and decent memory knows the texas hype happens every single year and the wheels on the texas bus always seem to fall off by mid season.
@@Camontheedge Almost lost to Houston, Kansas state and TCU after that then Texas went on to choke in the playoffs so ya. One good season in 15 years doesn't mean much. Just that texas is trending in the right direction. We will see if it lasts in the SEC. Good luck.
As an OU fan, I find it fascinating how aTm fans think the Aggies are a big deal. They never were in the Big 12. They never were in the SWC. They have always been a sort of nice, or maybe even solid, program. But they act like they are a blue blood down here in the SEC, and that makes zero sense.
Before you judge Texas fans, come to Austin for a game and let us know how you were received. You might be surprised to find what you used to think of proudly as 'Southern hospitality."
Texas are fair weather fans. It’s like everyone has forgotten 2010-2022 Texas and how they underperformed the entire time. OU was dominant the entire time there was a big12. I believe OU will likely have more staying power than UT but this first year maybe not
Jeez…who’s forgotten. we showed up during the suck. Myself and 100,000 other “fair weather” fans sat in 95+ degree soul sucking heat week after week for god forsaken 11am kickoffs…. Texas underperformed but the fans showed up…sweating, bitching, and moaning maybe, but we were there. Every week, for 10 dark years. To call Texas fans fair weather on one hand but complain about how many “T shirt” fans there are in the other is just stupid. Texas is one of if not THE most Valuable brands in sports. Win or Lose. period. One of the premier universities in the Country. With One of the most recognizable logos in the world. We’ve been in the suck for 10 years…y’all hope the Horns are overrated, that the dark days will continue, Cuz if those days are over, and I think they are…. You think we were insufferable before? Just wait!
@@Big_RegC nah yall will find a way to let your donors mess it up just like last time. If you have 4 winning seasons in a row then we can talk. Sark is a good coach but y’all’s program always dumps your good coaches just like with Mack
i was born and have lived my entire life in houston texas. i sit in the city as i write this... there is something very important to understand about texas and texans... dont get me wrong the South is total shit - backwardness oppression extreme brutality... the South has so many wonderful things going for it... Revolution is the next and what is necessary.... but Texas... ill put it this way... just about everyone i have ever come across in the South, in college as well, are part of the "good" of the South. this is the same thing as almost everyone you will come across in Texas, good folks, with one, or more accurately TWO EXCEPTIONS... power is why the South is a backwards cesspool of inhumanity... NOT THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH... the opposite is true of Texas and Texas A&M: in Baton Rouge when walking with friends you might accidentally come across mud or even shit and accidentaly step in it... when that happens, "you have stepped in IT alongside your buddies walking with you..." in texas that reverses... "when you step in shit in texas, it IS Texas and Texas A&M that you have stepped INTO..."
I mean yall can see the demographics however I don't think 25% of the audience are for TX... I think under 10% are, however they are VERY LOUD. The real UT... UT senior... cause we were here first. ur dad can't be the Jr lol anyway yeah the real UT has better Orange.
True Longhorn fan here. Anyone betting the under on OU is crazy. They may be our enemy, but they are our enemy for a reason. Big 12 Away games were tougher than others give credit for.
That last part may be true, we are ignorant on most things Big 12, but literally every Oklahoma or Texas insider we have had on the show this offseason has said the conference games outside of Red River excited no one in the fan base.
It’s amazing how everyone is concerned about Oklahoma joining the SEC or that Oklahoma is a half a step behind Texas after dominating them for better half of 20 years. Texas makes it to the playoff one year and somehow OU is playing second fiddle?? Oklahoma doesn’t understand the culture? I get it we got throttled by Alabama and LSU without having a defense in 2018 and 2019 but we also went into double overtime with Georgia.. beat Alabama three times out of last four throttled Auburn ..beat Tennessee twice and are one and one with Florida. We Aldi owned Missouri and Texas A&M when they were in our conference and they are no better or worse in the SEC than they were in the Big 12. I’m thoroughly looking forward to the challenge of the week in and out. But I’m also looking forward to those teams having to face us without four weeks to prepare and game plan.
OU was always second fiddle…even while dominating few cared. Because it was the Big12 and Texas sucked…No one outside of Oklahoma gave them the respect they craved. Like it or not, dominating Or not, the conversation will always end with Texas. Talk about Oklahoma….Texas will be in the conversation. Talk about Aggie…comes back to Texas. The only difference between Boomer and Aggie is that Boomer actually wins. A lot. And can back up the Shit they talk. It’s maddening, I know, but it’s true.
And despite TX sucking for much of that time and being "dominated" by OU..TX has a natty, a trip to the natty and a trip to the CFP. OU has 4 trips to the CFP where they were dismantled all 4 times. I assume this is why everyone is "concerned" with OU. In recent history they have been good but only in the Big12 and only while TX was mostly bad. As a TX fan I actually don't agree with the "noise" that OU will struggle in the SEC. I think OU will by fine. Maybe not from the start (we shall see) but eventually they will be fine. It's true that OU/TX will have tougher schedules now but it's also true that other SEC teams now have tougher schedules because of OU/TX. Not going to speak for OU on this but it's also true that TX has historically been a better team in bigger games. It's usually the games they *should* win where they fall off so it might actually end up being beneficial to TX having a harder schedule with bigger named opponents. BTW, since 1995 OU is winning the series 18-11 which I wouldn't call "dominating" considering how bad TX was since 2010. Clearly winning but not dominating. No more than the overall record of 63-51-5 means TX is "dominating" OU. Clearly winning but not dominating. TX vs. TAMU being 76-37-5...now *that* is dominating.
@@Chris-zg7ty context is key to a healthy conversation. Again I explained that we were absolutely crushed by LSU in 2019 and dominated by Alabama in 2018. We lost to Georgia with half of a football team the year before in 2017 in double overtime off of a walk off touchdown. 2008. Our best player in DeMarco Murray was out of the national championship game was absolutely killed us as we had the opportunity to go up 21 to 7 at halftime against Florida.. beat us on the last play in 2004 Pete Carroll’s best team crushed us. Not making excuses but just making sure history is not completely revised. 😁. We will see how things play out over the next few year years and I look forward to traveling to all the nice new venues
Pre-existing SEC fans will ome to look forward to the day the superconference is formed after a year or 2 or Texas favorability manipulation, UIts already started with a cupcake schedule for the first 2 seasons. Texas faultering in the Big12 in terms of national light is why TU is now in the SEC.
Feels like eventually all schools will be in the SEC…..one conference. I’m kidding. College football is changing so much. I just know I root for my team, come what may. Georgia Bulldogs! And God bless all the others. Truly a great sport.
Completely agree how UT & OU going through the SEC “Culture”. But be careful, SEC and BIG 10 . . . . if you truly think you could make a break to a “superior league” from the rest of the top 60-64 CFB programs, you will find it awfully lonely when the east coast, huge parts of the Midwest/Great Plains and West Coast doesn’t tune in . . . the silence will be deafening.
All of those teams will be or already have been absorbed by the SEC and Big10 lol it's all about brand names.... nobody cares where teams like Boise State end up
There aren’t enough people that live in the Great Plains and the west coast for that to even matter. As far as the east coast is concerned they aren’t much into college football.
Pete Finebaum acts like the rest of the country isn’t passionate about football. This sport wouldn’t be a multibillion dollar industry without passionate fans outside of the Southeast. I grew up in SEC country, it’s really not different than anywhere else except maybe New England where college football is FCS at best
Oklahoma has always played their best as the underdog, so I’m not too worried. Everybody keeps talking up Texas ….the Sooners are 16 and 8 vs the longhorns since 2000. That being said, I think they’ll do just fine as soon as they shore up their offensive line.
Finebaum is clueless. The PAC 12 slant had to do with a Gov who was an Aggie, control of the BOR that was not friendly to Texas athletics and a President who couldn't care less about athletics but was highly motivated by the academics. That produced a series of ADs and coaches that were not adequate semi-intentionally. It took a few years, by the incumbent rules once the Gov changed to a flagship fan, to get a Gov, BOR, and AD truly aligned and viewing the athletics, ...all the athletics, ...as an advertising business to be developed, especially in light of NIL, House v NCAA, AND Title IX. The fact that Texas has the perspicuity to realized the value in pursuing the Directors Cup will pay dividends in the future. It's way more than football.
UT is the most inconsistent overrated program of all time let’s be real they haven’t put to together back to back 10 plus win seasons since the Max Brown era with Vince Young in 09 crazy thing is y’all won 5 games the next year 😂 UT couldn’t even dominate the big12 but I’m supposed to believe y’all are going to come into the SEC the strongest conference in CFB ever now with the additions and yall are going to dominate gtfoh and don’t get me started on yalls head coach dude finally wins 10 plus games and all of a sudden his this coaching guru 😂 dude is 71 and 49 all time that is terrible dude is literally only good enough to go bowling with and naw not a NY6 crazy thing is history says he will even loose those games out of 6 he has won only 2 this is his first conference championship and he has been a HC since 2009 almost 20 years 😂 dude took yall to a whopping 5 - 7 his first year with a team full of 5 star and High 4star talents almost everyone on that squad were blue chippers the next season he went 8 - 5 with a even better roaster Texas has top recruiting classes even year of its existence but no school has done less with more yall lost Bo the d line is hot steamy garbage the secondary is garbage yall LB’s good that’s it offensively that’s what y’all are banking on and yes Sark is a decent play caller but he is very one dimensional and when he he gets figured out he doesn’t now how to counter and adjust his game plan but yall lost all of y’all’s elite play making at receiver tight end and RB the O Line is great I’ll give y’all that are they a tad bit overhyped sure but they are still a good unit QB is serviceable but we all know he can’t move the ball further then 20 yards and his legs are suspect he slow dude is highly injury prone nothing says Texas will dominate anything even with that weak schedule y’all got I see 3 maybe four loses if Michigan is even half of what they were last year but A&M is a Loss OU is a loss and Georgia is a blowout loss
"They are a hungry, they are a passionate fanbase..." Only when they have a good team. When they do not put out a good product they shrink into the rafters unlike most SEC fanbases who support their team at a decent to high level even when that team isn't winning it all.
I'm a Houston Cougar. I just watched Big 12 growing up because that's where the good games were. Oklahoma and Texas will run the SEC. You guys have no idea what kind of people SEC have have let into your private club. Thanks for helping UH get into the BIG 12 tho much appreciated. The SEC did the Big 12 a huge favor and I will be rooting for the Longhorns and Sooners to create total chaos for the SEC.
Unpopular opinion among my fellow former students. You’d be stupid not to add Texas and Oklahoma to the conference. Financially it makes sense. However, there are no Kansas, Baylor or TCU (recently) on the schedule. In this conference there are no style points. A win is a win. The talent on their interior lines, the team speed, quality coaching of great players who’ve benefitted from years of great high school coaching. When A&M joined the league I was shocked when I saw Florida’s players getting off the bus-and we had Johnny Football. They looked like an NFL team getting off the bus. Texas will learn that any team can beat you top-to-bottom of the conference. Teams like Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, LSU and right now Ole Miss are loaded with NFL talent coached by phenomenal coaches. I think Coach Sark of Texas has done a fantastic job recruiting SEC level players. Oklahoma is always Oklahoma a tru blue blood. Arkansas has a real football dude as coach and his players will run through walls for him. Yes, even when you beat the Vanderbilts of the SEC they make you look bad and shaky. I for one welcome the rivalry but there will be some adjustments.
didn't New Mexico State beat the living shit out of Auburn? BYU beat Arkansas by a couple TDs for sure. There are clearly SOME shitty teams in the SEC, no need to lie and make yourself look dumb
@@stevemoserify I’d rather look dumb than confirm I’m stupid. I didn’t say there aren’t teams that have bad seasons. Your reading comprehension isn’t very strong. Read the words slowly and carefully. There’s no code, no big words you don’t understand. I meant what I said and only what I said. Of course the less intelligent will read big broad statements into my short comments. That’s because they’re reading something into it I didn’t write. I’m using English. English is a language of precision. Let’s be precise.
100% . UT will never admit to having an outhouse they believed would never Smell. The Longhorn Network destroyed the big Nothing. As a Mizzou fan A&M and MU wanted out desperately after the LHN contract was inked throwing everyone under the bus save OU, Texas is like Nebraska and USC. Believing they are entitled to win their conference every year. Those days are over. Nick Saban may be the last to win multiple Championships and have a NE Patriots type history. The only guy that may end up being in that rarified air is KS and Dogs.
I guess if you define “success” as making more money, then yes I suppose A&M has been successful in the SEC. However if you define “success” as winning championships or playing for championships, then how has A&M been successful since moving to the SEC? It’s never been ranked higher than #4, has never played for an SEC championship, and has never appeared in the playoffs - either during the BCS era or current format.
😂 Because “A&M was SO success…” yeah it must have been that: -playoff wi… no, -playoff appearan… no, -SEC championship wi… no sorry, -SEC championship appearanc.. no -11 win seaso… no -10 win seaso… no -home win vs App Stat… DARN IT!! 🤔 Well the IMPORTANT thing is that they have a new HC & system this year but are still paying the one they fired more than him! 😂
@@ThatSECPodcast SEC had the ESPN contract. Guranteed TV time and the southern boosters had the most under the table $. Game has changed. The Midwest can Cali teams are back. Mark it down.
atm was so successful that Texas wanted some of that. Wait what lmao. What success is Finebaum talking about? Texas didn't join because atm, they joined because the LHN is not far from expiration which is a good chunk of their money in addition to the comparatively small conference TV contract that the B12 gets - which was being completely carried by Texas and OU. Due to financial reasons, and based off the sports progressiveness and future, it was a necessary and inevitable change....just as other the other P12 teams joined the B10. All of those changes didn't happen because of atm success. Thats a dumb statement Paul come on now
Texas team is ready the fan base isnt, but theyll get used to it. Oklahoma on the other hand, has signed its own death warrant. Theyve always been a smoke and mirrors team and that does not work in the SEC. they're gonna be a .500 team in league play
TX fan here. OU will be just fine and I bet they get to 10 wins this season. This is Venables 3rd year now and he has them on track. Same thing with TX, the reason for the hype is because they have coaches that actually develop all of that talent they get.

As a life long SEC fan. I'm excited to have OU and Texas join us because as a conference it's only going to make us and them better! Every time Texas and OU played the SEC no matter who it was it made them play at a whole different level. I'm sorry they honestly had to play down below they're actual level whenever they played Big12 teams. It showed and hurt them whenever it came time to get on the big stage! So I say to they're fans welcome to the SEC and let the fun begin. Because it's going to be an epic ride for all of us.
25% of your viewers are Texas? Amazing. I think we show up to make receipts. Can’t wait.
Almost like they think one of if not the biggest brand in cfb is only 25% of their viewers 🤣
They are eager beavers.
Paul is right. But it weas more about the $$$ and National Brand Name Recognition A&M was receiving for being in the SEC. The Big 12 is Damaged probably beyond repair. It was Texas that did the damage. It was their Greed and Pride. If they had created a Big 12 Network instead of a Longhorn Network. It would have helped all the teams not just Texas.
Where you get your news from matters. Texas and OU shared profits with the rest of the Big12 for over a decade even though they brought in 75% of the money. Then they get accused of killing the conference.
Texas AD DeLoss Dodds tried to start a Big12 network and only Kansas (probably for basketball reasons) was willing to pony up the money. Next he tried to start a Texas College Network and in the middle of those negotiations A&M announced that they were leaving to the SEC. So ESPN approached Texas with a deal and they took it.
Texas kept the communist Big12 alive with welfare for a decade. A conference that has 50 million fewer fans in its geographic footprint than the next smallest power5 conference. Texas was the only thing keeping them on life support
SEC needs to now invite Florida St and Miami just to complete the betrayal.

@flyingeagle8231 Only to have Lincoln Riley's USC get a horrible wake up call going into the Big 10, where a high flying offense led by a generational talented quarterback, is not going to get them to the top of the division, against teams like Ohio State or Michigan that are no slouches on defense. Which Riley did not invest in when he was at Oklahoma and now here at USC, the defense got worse every year. If Riley actually tries to get solid defensive players to give the Trojans a good defense against Big 10 teams maybe they have a shot at the Big 10. I do not see it happening. Oklahoma was going nowhere with Riley as head coach, sure heisman here and there with Baker and Kyler, but it gotten us nowhere near a natty against teams like Georgia or Alabama. Oklahoma is defensive minded now to where they could probably hold their own against said programs and possibly come out on top. Ultimately I think Riley is going to still try play hero ball offense in a conference that will stop that shit from the snap.
@@jaym8257 It will make Oklahoma tougher for it, the Big 12 was a cupcake schedule with games like Oklahoma State and Texas being the tough perennial matches with Oklahoma going nowhere close to the National Championship game.

Oklahoma and Texas have SEC facilities, fan bases, etc. A&M and Nebraska had that. However, TCU, Baylor, Kansas, etc. did NOT have that.

Big12 had some good programs with decent fanbases like Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, West Virginia, etc. but nothing like the SEC.
Mind you OU and Texas have some of the biggest fan bases in all of football. They play eachother every year in a 50/50 stadium. Which none of the SEC ever does. Texas plays in front of 100k every home game. OU has beaten big fan bases during their dominance. Texas has beaten Georgia in recent time. Have beaten USC in recent time. By record owns Alabama. Also has a winning record against majority of the SEC. Y’all just be yapping bro. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

And despite TX sucking for much of that time and being "dominated" by OU..TX has a natty, a trip to the natty and a trip to the CFP. OU has 4 trips to the CFP where they were dismantled all 4 times. I assume this is why everyone is "concerned" with OU. In recent history they have been good but only in the Big12 and only while TX was mostly bad. As a TX fan I actually don't agree with the "noise" that OU will struggle in the SEC. I think OU will by fine. Maybe not from the start (we shall see) but eventually they will be fine.
It's true that OU/TX will have tougher schedules now but it's also true that other SEC teams now have tougher schedules because of OU/TX. Not going to speak for OU on this but it's also true that TX has historically been a better team in bigger games. It's usually the games they *should* win where they fall off so it might actually end up being beneficial to TX having a harder schedule with bigger named opponents.
BTW, since 1995 OU is winning the series 18-11 which I wouldn't call "dominating" considering how bad TX was since 2010. Clearly winning but not dominating. No more than the overall record of 63-51-5 means TX is "dominating" OU. Clearly winning but not dominating. TX vs. TAMU being 76-37-5...now *that* is dominating.
@@Chris-zg7ty context is key to a healthy conversation. Again I explained that we were absolutely crushed by LSU in 2019 and dominated by Alabama in 2018. We lost to Georgia with half of a football team the year before in 2017 in double overtime off of a walk off touchdown. 2008. Our best player in DeMarco Murray was out of the national championship game was absolutely killed us as we had the opportunity to go up 21 to 7 at halftime against Florida.. beat us on the last play in 2004 Pete Carroll’s best team crushed us. Not making excuses but just making sure history is not completely revised. 😁. We will see how things play out over the next few year years and I look forward to traveling to all the nice new venues
@@Akshunpakd not have of the conference titles. OU actually has 14 over the last 23.
Pre-existing SEC fans will ome to look forward to the day the superconference is formed after a year or 2 or Texas favorability manipulation, UIts already started with a cupcake schedule for the first 2 seasons. Texas faultering in the Big12 in terms of national light is why TU is now in the SEC.
All of us UH Coogs fans thank the SEC for helping us get into the Big 12. Texas is your problem now mark my words. I hope they win the SEC 😂
Texas gonna cry with all the horns down.
Texas just needs a win over Michigan or Georgia. They can win the other games and really play their heart out against Oklahoma.
What exactly do we have to get used to? Ain't no punks round this way. Don't make us have to make an example outta one of yall chumps 🤘🏿
Feels like eventually all schools will be in the SEC…..one conference. I’m kidding. College football is changing so much. I just know I root for my team, come what may. Georgia Bulldogs! And God bless all the others. Truly a great sport.
Completely agree how UT & OU going through the SEC “Culture”. But be careful, SEC and BIG 10 . . . . if you truly think you could make a break to a “superior league” from the rest of the top 60-64 CFB programs, you will find it awfully lonely when the east coast, huge parts of the Midwest/Great Plains and West Coast doesn’t tune in . . . the silence will be deafening.
All of those teams will be or already have been absorbed by the SEC and Big10 lol it's all about brand names.... nobody cares where teams like Boise State end up
There aren’t enough people that live in the Great Plains and the west coast for that to even matter. As far as the east coast is concerned they aren’t much into college football.
Pete Finebaum acts like the rest of the country isn’t passionate about football. This sport wouldn’t be a multibillion dollar industry without passionate fans outside of the Southeast. I grew up in SEC country, it’s really not different than anywhere else except maybe New England where college football is FCS at best
Texas fans just don’t know which restroom to use.
Oklahoma has always played their best as the underdog, so I’m not too worried. Everybody keeps talking up Texas ….the Sooners are 16 and 8 vs the longhorns since 2000. That being said, I think they’ll do just fine as soon as they shore up their offensive line.
Yep we have all heard it a 100 times by now and that is the past. Lets see y'all keep it up.
Boys, 11 of the last 15 years OU has beaten Texass. Do your research.
Finebaum is clueless. The PAC 12 slant had to do with a Gov who was an Aggie, control of the BOR that was not friendly to Texas athletics and a President who couldn't care less about athletics but was highly motivated by the academics. That produced a series of ADs and coaches that were not adequate semi-intentionally. It took a few years, by the incumbent rules once the Gov changed to a flagship fan, to get a Gov, BOR, and AD truly aligned and viewing the athletics, ...all the athletics, ...as an advertising business to be developed, especially in light of NIL, House v NCAA, AND Title IX. The fact that Texas has the perspicuity to realized the value in pursuing the Directors Cup will pay dividends in the future. It's way more than football.
This is BS and has no place as an explanation on this type of topic. NOBODY CARES!
@@jaym8257 😁
Texas has played many SEC teams in the past and has been successful. OU has not played that many.
Texas Tech fans are insane!
TX owns the SEC all time....Fitting into this conference is not going to be an issue for Texas. Can the SEC fit with Texas?🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
UT is the most inconsistent overrated program of all time let’s be real they haven’t put to together back to back 10 plus win seasons since the Max Brown era with Vince Young in 09 crazy thing is y’all won 5 games the next year 😂 UT couldn’t even dominate the big12 but I’m supposed to believe y’all are going to come into the SEC the strongest conference in CFB ever now with the additions and yall are going to dominate gtfoh and don’t get me started on yalls head coach dude finally wins 10 plus games and all of a sudden his this coaching guru 😂 dude is 71 and 49 all time that is terrible dude is literally only good enough to go bowling with and naw not a NY6 crazy thing is history says he will even loose those games out of 6 he has won only 2 this is his first conference championship and he has been a HC since 2009 almost 20 years 😂 dude took yall to a whopping 5 - 7 his first year with a team full of 5 star and High 4star talents almost everyone on that squad were blue chippers the next season he went 8 - 5 with a even better roaster Texas has top recruiting classes even year of its existence but no school has done less with more yall lost Bo the d line is hot steamy garbage the secondary is garbage yall LB’s good that’s it offensively that’s what y’all are banking on and yes Sark is a decent play caller but he is very one dimensional and when he he gets figured out he doesn’t now how to counter and adjust his game plan but yall lost all of y’all’s elite play making at receiver tight end and RB the O Line is great I’ll give y’all that are they a tad bit overhyped sure but they are still a good unit QB is serviceable but we all know he can’t move the ball further then 20 yards and his legs are suspect he slow dude is highly injury prone nothing says Texas will dominate anything even with that weak schedule y’all got I see 3 maybe four loses if Michigan is even half of what they were last year but A&M is a Loss OU is a loss and Georgia is a blowout loss
@@KingKoTheFlamingSword your mom is inconsistent too. Why hasnt she called?
"They are a hungry, they are a passionate fanbase..." Only when they have a good team. When they do not put out a good product they shrink into the rafters unlike most SEC fanbases who support their team at a decent to high level even when that team isn't winning it all.
I'm a Houston Cougar. I just watched Big 12 growing up because that's where the good games were. Oklahoma and Texas will run the SEC. You guys have no idea what kind of people SEC have have let into your private club. Thanks for helping UH get into the BIG 12 tho much appreciated. The SEC did the Big 12 a huge favor and I will be rooting for the Longhorns and Sooners to create total chaos for the SEC.
Unpopular opinion among my fellow former students. You’d be stupid not to add Texas and Oklahoma to the conference. Financially it makes sense. However, there are no Kansas, Baylor or TCU (recently) on the schedule. In this conference there are no style points. A win is a win. The talent on their interior lines, the team speed, quality coaching of great players who’ve benefitted from years of great high school coaching. When A&M joined the league I was shocked when I saw Florida’s players getting off the bus-and we had Johnny Football. They looked like an NFL team getting off the bus. Texas will learn that any team can beat you top-to-bottom of the conference. Teams like Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, LSU and right now Ole Miss are loaded with NFL talent coached by phenomenal coaches. I think Coach Sark of Texas has done a fantastic job recruiting SEC level players. Oklahoma is always Oklahoma a tru blue blood. Arkansas has a real football dude as coach and his players will run through walls for him. Yes, even when you beat the Vanderbilts of the SEC they make you look bad and shaky. I for one welcome the rivalry but there will be some adjustments.
didn't New Mexico State beat the living shit out of Auburn? BYU beat Arkansas by a couple TDs for sure. There are clearly SOME shitty teams in the SEC, no need to lie and make yourself look dumb
@@stevemoserify I’d rather look dumb than confirm I’m stupid. I didn’t say there aren’t teams that have bad seasons. Your reading comprehension isn’t very strong. Read the words slowly and carefully. There’s no code, no big words you don’t understand. I meant what I said and only what I said. Of course the less intelligent will read big broad statements into my short comments. That’s because they’re reading something into it I didn’t write. I’m using English. English is a language of precision. Let’s be precise.
Have the Aggies been successful in the SEC?
4th winningest. 1 Heisman. 3NY6 wins. Needs to be better though.
TEXAS!!!!
HOOK EM. THANK YOU GOD FOR HORNS SMOOTH PERFECT TIMING AND TRANSITION. BEEN A LING GOING on 14 years. Lol. Love
Long...sry,typo
Yeah cause y’all been getting dominated in the big 12
Arkansas and AtM should go back to the big 12. They instantly become the big dogs and have a shot at CFP.
A&M is headed to the B10 with FSU...watch
You guys blocking us?
Greg sanky is the worst thing to happen to SEC and college football
Best or not the smartest
Texas has been average at best since 09 you could make an argument they were below average in the big 12.
No it's espn....next topic
100% . UT will never admit to having an outhouse they believed would never Smell. The Longhorn Network destroyed the big Nothing. As a Mizzou fan A&M and MU wanted out desperately after the LHN contract was inked throwing everyone under the bus save OU,
Texas is like Nebraska and USC. Believing they are entitled to win their conference every year. Those days are over. Nick Saban may be the last to win multiple Championships and have a NE Patriots type history. The only guy that may end up being in that rarified air is KS and Dogs.
No the longhorn network is the reason for all the realignment
I guess if you define “success” as making more money, then yes I suppose A&M has been successful in the SEC. However if you define “success” as winning championships or playing for championships, then how has A&M been successful since moving to the SEC? It’s never been ranked higher than #4, has never played for an SEC championship, and has never appeared in the playoffs - either during the BCS era or current format.
Well now that colleges can pay players Texas won’t have to be shady about it. UT has deep pockets and will be buying a lot of talent. And I hate UT.
Texas is good at what? 😂 They choked vs Washington and OU last year. Played vs 6 backup QBs. They’re not on the big level.
Texas and Oklahoma combined will not win 6 sec games year 1!!
😂 Because “A&M was SO success…” yeah it must have been that:
-playoff wi… no,
-playoff appearan… no,
-SEC championship wi… no sorry,
-SEC championship appearanc.. no
-11 win seaso… no
-10 win seaso… no
-home win vs App Stat… DARN IT!! 🤔
Well the IMPORTANT thing is that they have a new HC & system this year but are still paying the one they fired more than him! 😂
11 wins yes. #5 ranking. Heisman. SEC CotY. 10 wins yes. #4 ranking. Texas Aggies would’ve WAXED the longhorns at any point. FIVE losing seasons 😂 good god.
Solid troll job
Sec is falling off. They don’t have enough corrupt booster money to beat the NIL.
As evidenced by this past national championship game.
Congrats on the worst take of the day!
@@ThatSECPodcast SEC had the ESPN contract. Guranteed TV time and the southern boosters had the most under the table $. Game has changed. The Midwest can Cali teams are back. Mark it down.
@@ThatSECPodcast why do you think ol Saban tucked his tail and ran?
atm was so successful that Texas wanted some of that. Wait what lmao. What success is Finebaum talking about? Texas didn't join because atm, they joined because the LHN is not far from expiration which is a good chunk of their money in addition to the comparatively small conference TV contract that the B12 gets - which was being completely carried by Texas and OU. Due to financial reasons, and based off the sports progressiveness and future, it was a necessary and inevitable change....just as other the other P12 teams joined the B10. All of those changes didn't happen because of atm success. Thats a dumb statement Paul come on now
Texas team is ready the fan base isnt, but theyll get used to it. Oklahoma on the other hand, has signed its own death warrant. Theyve always been a smoke and mirrors team and that does not work in the SEC. they're gonna be a .500 team in league play
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤡
You've got the wrong user-handle name to be making a comment like that.
TX fan here. OU will be just fine and I bet they get to 10 wins this season. This is Venables 3rd year now and he has them on track. Same thing with TX, the reason for the hype is because they have coaches that actually develop all of that talent they get. They almost made it to the NC, have most of their roster back, tore it up on the portal and y'all have to worry about Manning starting next season. That name alone is bringing in the recruits. OU's schedule is tough but they'll be back in the top half soon enough. I got them beating Bama in Norman.
Lotta SEC coaches gonna be fired in the years ahead. Good teams will be cancelling each other out.
Texas and Oklahoma are the new bosses in the SEC
Haha! Texas fan here. Paul Finebaum is a funny guy, but everybody knows he’s a Bama homer. Listen, the SEC is delusional. Bevo isn’t coming in to just join the conference. Come on. LOL! Bevo is coming and is going to whip a whole bunch of teams. I’m in Austin. Who doesn’t want to live here instead of the SEC armpit towns?!
Texas will be lucky to make it to 2 sec championships every decade
@@mixa7039 Sounds about right. With NIL and the current state the only guy that can I Think have a chance year in and year out is KS and Dogs. I say that as an Mizzou Fan. OU will be a 7-5 team this year. Texas may have their only shot at 9-3
Don’t try selling it to us, try selling it to the high school kids. It’s a great city in that Texas has the number 1 recruiting class every year. 😏😬🤣
@@mixa7039They're more than likely making it this year, then you have minimum 2 years against Arch Manning. Guess who other recruits want to play with going forward? IDK what the future holds, but these next 3-5 years, Texas will be at the top.
Wtf is a bevo
