SEC will be tougher than expected

Riley been gone a few years now and Bedenbaugh still had a first round OL picked each of the last two seasons, and both of his OTs too. He's got a well earned reputation as a developer and we all know it. He's got his work cut out for him this year too
Riley has been gone only 2 years. And, it is only my opinion. Many Texas fans prabably disagree with me.
 
I have been thinking about the title of this thread. It used to piss me off, but I think now I get it .
I agree.....the secsecsec WILL be tougher than expected....... But,not for us...it will be lots tougher for THEM. With UT and OU the secsecsec schedule makers will have a tougher time rigging those schedules to allow every damned secsecsec team to be bowl eligible.....
 
I think Texas and OU in the SEC is great. Texas is in good shape and right at the top of the league right now. I expected that. OU is still to be determined. I do think, and this is not a flame, Texas got the much better SEC schedule this year and next, since it flips. There are some teams, including us, that have brutal schedules. One of your posters said OU and Georgia were the only two teams you had a shot of losing too, and I totally agree, except I think you wax OU.

Welcome to the SEC.

Yeah, the schedule makers rigged those schedules to allow for National title after title. The SEC schedule makers blessed you this year and next. And you are correct, Texas, and OU being in the SEC just made it tougher. You come in as a power so you will be at the top of the heap. However, if you think the SEC is anywhere close to the easier schedule, you would’ve had in the big 12 you are mistaken. After next year, you won’t be getting Mississippi State, Vandy, etc. every year. Texas will always have a shot at the SEC title due to the strength of your program. But it did just get tougher

Why is it, before we joined the SEC, everyone talked about how much harder the conference is top-to-bottom, but now we’re in the SEC our conference schedule is easy? 🤷‍♂️
 
My point, as it has always been, is that the SEC is really no different than any of the power conferences. A couple of really good teams, a couple of really bad teams, and most are just average. The entire SEC excuse for typically playing uncompetitive OOC games is because “the SEC is so much better top-to-bottom that they beat themselves up during conference play.” The SEC has traditionally gotten a pass for this.

I mean, if you’re gonna fellate the entire conference why is it all of a sudden not good enough for Texas? I’m not arguing for our SOS this season. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of SEC bias.

@SOUTHSWAMP How are the Gators looking as they head to Austin? Damn good win over UK and looked good for a while against GA. Will Lagway play? Also, are people calling for Napier to be fired?

I’m not sure the extent of DJ injury as far as it’s an hamstring injury. But more tests to be done. Yeah that Kentucky game was tough great win for sure. It’s seem like the fire Napier talked has settled down a lot haven’t heard much lately, I’m super excited about the game in Austin.
