As I ponder these two competing in the future, what I’m hoping for is becoming clear.

I’m indifferent to Texas. I’m old enough to remember the Big 8 and that will always seem like what is right to me. We played similar schools from neighboring states. Texas being mediocre or poor competitively relative to their resources has been pretty cool. Shrug and good riddance.

For OU, I hope for nothing but failure. They could have stayed and anchored the conference as they’ve often done. To leave behind longtime conference mates and their state partner just effing sucks. May their success be permanently in the rearview mirror - kinda like Nebraska. That written, I’d love to be in a conference again with any Big 8 school.

Curious what you all think.
 
Btw, seeing this and thinking about cheering for all the other teams is what made me think of this more.

The thing was, OU, especially with an expanded playoff, could have been a yearly contender in the B12. Go 12-1 and they're in. Hell, maybe even 11-2.
Money is great and all but they can't climb that much higher program wise, and can fall a lot more.

Bet 1k Veneables is in his last season. Any way they are Out so to hell with them after this year.

Texas has a more manageable schedule than OU with Vanderbilt, MS State, and Arkansas. I wonder how much they paid to get that schedule. I assume Texas will play both OU and Texas A&M every year.
