My apologies, it was a poster you quoted that said oklahoma may be slipping to the dark ages. The overarching point I was trying to make is that I feel a s#!t coaching hire for them will lead to this moreso than the impact of going to the SEC.
Perhaps I should have added more context to my stance- I feel like OUs change is vastly differnet to all the others. They still get to play in Texas with UT and A&M in the SEC, Texas is still in their backyard, and now they get to play guaranteed games in fertile AF recruiting grouds in the Florida, Louisana and Georgia, amongst other talent rich states in the south.
This to me, is completely different compared to what we went through where we were literally hanging on to a thread in texas recruiting by getting to play their a handful of times a year. Texas not in our backyard geographically and us moving away from those schools pretty much killed a strong foundation of our recruiting. I don't think this is going to happen with Oklahoma and I also think they have the capital/cache to go out and grab a great coach even with getting blindsided like this.
And on the kool aid topic- I wish I had had more. I was deaf to the game and outcome on Friday- muted and subdued in my reaction due to the consistent let down of this progrum for years now in a game like that.
I promise I will try my best to not misrepresent something you said when it should have been credited to another poster and for that I am sorry. Perhaps we can agree to disagree on the trajectory of OU, I for one, am hoping they continue to succeed at a similar level in the SEC because I think we have more in common wiht them, historically, than almost any other program in the country from a geography/success standpoint.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, we're both prolly pretty agitated salty as hell husker fans clamoring for the days of even modest success. We can't let our internal dissension tear us apart any further, I f'n love you man.
