This is a great point...I don’t like the move. I would rather see OU in the PAC12 or Big10 if they were to move. I could see them recruiting better in both areas than they would in SEC.
At least 90% of our reason in leaving the Big 12 was to get away from Texas. And obviously we weren't the only program to want to get away from them. And it had absolutely zero to do with competition (obviously or we wouldn't have chosen the SEC). So that wouldn't have been an option for us.Hot Take- The SEC should have taken Texas & Oklahoma when it took Missouri & Texas A&M. Now it’s too late.
I meant taking Texas & Oklahoma instead of taking A&M & Missouri... Because of what you said, the Texas schools were going anywhere together... If the SEC wanted Texas & Oklahoma, the time to take them would have been the last expansion, now it’s too late.At least 90% of our reason in leaving the Big 12 was to get away from Texas.

I don’t mind having A&M in the conference either, but Missouri isn’t really a cultural fit and could do without them because they don’t really bring anything beside the St. Louis TV Market.
My take has nothing to do with competition, LSU recruits Houston very well and is 8-2* vs. A&M in the last 10.
*The 2018 Game is under dispute in my personal cannon, because we won that game like 3 different times.
Now that we took care of the stupid Thanksgiving Game thing, because we refused to play on Thanksgiving in the years when the game was in Baton Rouge, I’m cool. (I don’t mind Thanksgiving Games, I love the Egg Bowl, but LSU never did it before and it felt forced + The Saints have been getting picked a lot to play on Thanksgiving so I appreciate the lack of conflict).
