Hello Vols. It's been an entertaining season -- I'm looking forward to watching this SEC season the rest of the way.

I think we'll take down Ole Miss this weekend. They're obviously a tough team, but I think Vegas has it right.

Looking forward to playing the Vols in after Ole Miss. That should be a good game. I'm guessing it will get the evening time slot.

Well, well, look who's back. Hey man, we missed seeing you here after last year's game. If you can't stomach your crow, you ought not talk any crap.

I will expect you to disappear after this year's game no matter the outcome. If you come over to gloat, folks around here will begin to hate the land thieves. Don't be that guy.

It's going to be a good game. My greatest hope is clean play and no injuries.

Well, speaking for myself -- I think it's best to not act in an arrogant way. But if you're asking if I reshaped my opinion of our football team in year 2 of being in the SEC, I'd say this: an honest assessment of our program would conclude that OU is historically a blue blood, and a very strong team in 2025.

Yes, we've had some key holes after 29 players transferred away from OU after Lincoln Riley left in late 2021. In 2022, we just didn't have the personnel to have a good defense and ended with a 6-7 record. In 2023, Venables (a defensive minded coach) improved our defense from one of the worst in FBS to mid-tier and we went 10-3. Last year in 2024, our defense improved again (19 in total defense) but we had a disastrous year offensively for several reasons and finished back down at 6-7. This year, our offense is performing much better and our defense is elite.

In all fairness, you don't know what personnel you need to compete week in and week out on an SEC schedule, but it for sure better be a deep roster. Warm bodies are an asset. The brutality of it is real. Last year for OK was a freebie. There are no true weak games or opponents. By seasons end, what ends up as the bottom dwellers were tough games. Someone just has to lose. All the other conferences can say what they want, but after top 3-5 in the other P4's it's G5/FCS level competition. Yes. OU is blue blood, but now you have to earn SEC Blueblood stamp of approval. You came to the right place to see if Barry Switzer was indeed real.

I beleive this is the second round of home and home's for UT/OU in recent years. Great games.

Welcome to the forum sooner fan! I like the state of Oklahoma since it’s the home of the western band of the Cherokee Nation . I am a member of the eastern band headquarters located in Cherokee NC . Now as for football yes all fan bases have their fanatics who sometimes act like an ass! I’m old enough to realize that it’s just a game played by young men that make many mistakes like we all did! I personally think these kids that play collegiate sports today are very fortunate because when I was their age I was serving in uniform and fighting wars making Pennie’s on the dollar compared to what they make to play a game but hey to each his own! Im a vol fan just the same mainly because I grew up in East Tennessee where there were two sports Tennessee football and nascar! As for the upcoming Tennessee vs Oklahoma game I’m not very confident that it will be an easy Tennessee victory! We are at home but they were at home against Georgia and we all know how that turned out! So again welcome and enjoy the ride the SEC is crazy this year!!
