Title: Buy or Sell: OSU in the SEC Post by: bama57 on July 26, 2016, 03:53:29 PM Quote now, it's common knowledge that the Big 12 is exploring expansion. We all expect OSU will remain a member of the conference no matter who the Big 12 adds. A lot would have to happen for OSU to leave the conference. However, Ron Higgins of NOLA.com suggests a vastly different course of action for the Cowboys. http://www.cowboysrideforfree.com/2016/7/26/12279800/buy-or-sell-osu-in-the-sec-oklahoma-state-athletics-football-big-12-expansionIn the article, Higgins sets up a scenario where both OU and OSU jump ship on the Big 12 and join the SEC West. By doing so, that would move Alabama and Auburn to the SEC East, leaving the SEC with two eight-team divisions. That would make the SEC look like this: Title: Re: Buy or Sell: OSU in the SEC Post by: 2Stater on July 26, 2016, 04:05:13 PM (http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/smoke/smiley-smoking-bong.gif)

Everyone would a national televised game bUT those 2 schools aren't leaving the Big 12. Reason is simple:
(1) They would never win an SEC Championship. (2) The teams they would meet in the West they would only win 2 games maybe 3 on a great year. (3) The coach at osu don't have the really big boy pants it takes in the SEC, (if he is a Man.) (4) Bob Stoops can run his mouth out there in the Big 12 and not have an Alabama or even Auburn run up a big score on him. E.S. RTR!

The path to the NCG is much easier for OSU and OU in the Big 12. I'm not buying.

Title: Re: Buy or Sell: OSU in the SEC Post by: Chechem on July 27, 2016, 04:59:48 AM Lots of talk about conference expansion these days. Mostly folks are discussing moving Houston and/or Memphis to the Big 12. I don't see either as an asset; both lack the fan base expected in major conferences..
Haven't heard about OSU and OU jumping ship. Not buying. Title: Re: Buy or Sell: OSU in the SEC Post by: bamaphil on July 27, 2016, 07:12:43 AM If you buy this I have some prime oceanfront property in Oklahoma to sell. Special price, just for you!

Texas and Oklahoma are the only two Big12 schools with national fanbases. |
