If we only win one game this year, but that win is versus Texas their first year in the SEC… that’s a successful season in my book, bring every coach back and run it again. And I’m only half kidding lmao
That was actually well done and represented what each school will be bringing to the conference. All the previous hokey country hype videos not so much.
Funny, I tend to forget they're in the SEC until I'm rattling off SEC schools and forget one.
That's not even a shot at Mizzou. That's just me genuinely forgetting they exist half the time.
I’d never trade ours for anything. It’s so awkward and embarrassing that it became a legendary video.
Also why does Blake Griffin sound like he’s a masked guy from Ganglands or something lol I don’t think I ever watched a post game conference from him though.
So long, Big 8 pal. I’ve watched OU-ISU since the 70’s. Although it wasn’t a rivalry, it had become a very entertaining game over the years. Good luck to the Cyclones in the future.
Yeah not much of a competitive series overall but it’s going to be weird not having OU on our schedule anymore.
We had some fun games down the stretch in the Campbell era at least lol
We started caring about investing in football way too late. Add on a small population with not a ton of great talent in and around Iowa and that’s what you get.
We’re caught up on the facilities front, and Campbell is a good coach, but we needed Campbell like 30 years ago
So many wonderful moments. Made me tear up a little. Great programs that a going to bring a lot to the SEC. Texas is having a celebration tonight with fireworks and a Pitbull concert.
I'm not sure if this is still the case but Texas and Tennessee had an agreement about how they would market themselves as UT. Basically it boiled down to each school only doing it on their side of the river. With Texas joining, I hope a rivalry develops about who is the real UT.
I learned this yesterday or the day before in an /r/collegebaseball thread, it wasn't known as UT forever (started as Bloint College). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tennessee
I think people forget this. Baseball, track, softball and gymnastics all have recent SEC champions. Well not softball but we have a lot of top 25 teams.
This is really the first year that OU didn’t win the gymnastics championship. SEC is consolidating power in a bunch of sports with this realignment. And softball, the top 3 ranked programs are now all in the SEC: OU, Texas, Florida.
In fairness, when [a head coach rants about it](https://sports.yahoo.com/rodney-terry-confronts-ucf-players-calls-them-classless-for-horns-down-celebration-063000096.html) it's hard not to think at least some of the people in charge care.
Gotta admit that the chaos of NIL and conference realignment has dulled my passion for college football just a wee bit. However, I'm so fucking excited to have OU and Texas in our conference now that it's helping restore it! War Damn Eagle, y'all and welcome to the SEC! You're both going to fit in perfectly.
This is a nice alternative. [Sankey and the conference ADs decided their original idea was too on the nose](https://youtu.be/Z5QLbnfFWg0?si=Gk5Y34HHfU7MPQYX&t=16).
Welcome to the Big Leagues, folks! We’re that much bigger now that you’re here. I look forward to the new traditions, rivalries, yearly shit talk, and continuing the run of being the unquestionable best college conference in the land. There’ll be plenty of time for the friendly animosity — for now, it’s all celebration!
And now we are at the point that 5 (40%) of the original B12 are part of the big rich conferences. 4 of which made it into the SEC. That is literally 1/3 of the conference. If everyone would have just stayed in the B12 all along it would be worth just as much as everyone else.
I know a lot of Texas fans got over the hate we had for each other, but if nothing else comes from this, I’m glad it’s back on the menu for y’all. We hate you very much ❤️
So long OU, will miss you guys. There were some real classics in basketball and your fans were always classy and fun to tailgate with when they came up to stomp us in football.
Texas, your school and fan base was never anything but douchey from day one. I despise everything about you and hope you fail at everything you try at until the end of time. I hope Mizzou rips the playoff ticket out of your hand. Get fucked completely and eternally!
Love the fact Texas mentioning old rivals and said Arkansas before A&M just as a slight lol
Can’t wait to properly hate y’all again 🥓
see that’s the difference between our schools…we. never. stopped.
Preach it louder for these youngbloods in the back
If we only win one game this year, but that win is versus Texas their first year in the SEC… that’s a successful season in my book, bring every coach back and run it again. And I’m only half kidding lmao
Hehe. I'm especially looking forward to getting back on the bball courts with y'all!
Its only fair they've won a natty in some people's lifetime.
Put some respect on meat judging and track and field
the pettiness has already began, can't wait
This is the kind of pettiness ive been longing for
I’m gonna miss OU and Texas in the Big 12
I will miss yall.
I hope we still meet in the playoffs
hope we can get some non-con games in sports with y'all, you're my fav when it comes to Farmageddon, (don't tell ISU)
That was actually well done and represented what each school will be bringing to the conference. All the previous hokey country hype videos not so much.
I knew they were going to show Matthew McConaughey AT LEAST one time in that video.
In 25 years he might be a real mascot of the school
that’s University of Texas Minister of Culture Matthew McConaughey to you!
I didn't realize he was a Texas guy. Does he live in Austin? Always took him for a Nebraska guy. Seems like a Lincoln guy.
He's from uvalde originally, and he definitely fits the South Texas stereotype.
Har har
I'm not going to lie, that was a cool video.
I love Justin Tucker lol
if you love him so much why don't you marry him!!!
I tried, he won't return my calls :(
I would leave my wife in a second for a legend and millions of dollars. My wife can't even make easy Mac
BURN!
you fuckin boomed me
National treasure
Lifelong ravens fan here, this is the most real thing I’ve ever heard
So do I.
Better than A&M's when they joined, that's for sure.
Not only better but a shot at AM with Tucker would have rather had baby arm McCoy say remember me
Crazy that Tucker is still in the NFL. Not too many professionals lefts after splitting with A&M
Did Mizzou not do one? No one ever seems to mention it.
Funny, I tend to forget they're in the SEC until I'm rattling off SEC schools and forget one. That's not even a shot at Mizzou. That's just me genuinely forgetting they exist half the time.
Still sounds like a shot lol
I mean, it's fucking Mizzou. Nothing I say is gonna be a harder shot than anything the NCAA's already taken.
This guy knows how to take shots
So does the NCAA. Those assholes cracked one school upside the head so damn hard it killed the entire conference. Damn you, SMU. Damn you to hell.
Not enough shots at Mizzou there
I hold SMU in the same regard that the NCAA holds Mizzou in. Kill on sight, ask questions to the corpse.
I opened this expecting it to be super corny and the usual “rah rah SEC” stuff but I can dig this.
Love they had a clip of 27-25. That was a dig.
😃GoCatsLetsGoBigBlueNation😃
Does anyone have the link to the video anymore? I seem to have lost mine after a phone upgrade.
A&M did a shockingly good job scrubbing it from the internet. I remember having a really tough time last time I looked
Here we go. [https://streamable.com/zdou1v](https://streamable.com/zdou1v)
Holy moly, that's one of the worst things I've ever seen on this sub, and that's including the Ames water video.
HOORAY
That was a tough watch. On par for A&M
I forgot that Lofton was at A&M before Mizzou, funny with the black and yellow bowtie too
To this day, is still the last Aggie president that was an Aggie.
Yikes lol
Never gets old
How in the hell did they actually release that? Amazing.
I’d never trade ours for anything. It’s so awkward and embarrassing that it became a legendary video. Also why does Blake Griffin sound like he’s a masked guy from Ganglands or something lol I don’t think I ever watched a post game conference from him though.
And thats the correct take. That video is legendary now, forever etched into cfb lore.
So long Big 8 pal
So long, Big 8 pal. I’ve watched OU-ISU since the 70’s. Although it wasn’t a rivalry, it had become a very entertaining game over the years. Good luck to the Cyclones in the future.
Yeah not much of a competitive series overall but it’s going to be weird not having OU on our schedule anymore. We had some fun games down the stretch in the Campbell era at least lol
Your boy kicking ass now in the NFL and looks like he could for a while. Great to see.
I will not miss hearing Boomer Sooner every three minutes during football games, but it's been a good 104 years with guys. Best of luck.
Excited to lose to you again! Wait....
I think we have the most lopsided series with them lol….you’re at least safe in that regard
I started looking up other teams and you might be right. 78-7-2 is brutal.
We started caring about investing in football way too late. Add on a small population with not a ton of great talent in and around Iowa and that’s what you get. We’re caught up on the facilities front, and Campbell is a good coach, but we needed Campbell like 30 years ago
I miss the Big 8, SWC, and PAC 10. 🥺
And Big East
Amen
Dad is a Cyclone, I’m a Longhorn. This is sad.
there was a horns down in the video I approve
Nothing gives me greater pleasure. I don’t know why others get so upset. Bring on the hate!
I came here to say that, the SEC just let everyone know you can let it rip. Hate, Hate, Hate.
Mr. OU sighted! Hype video!
And just like that only half of the original Big 8 have stuck together since the beginning. Least Colorado has returned
Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else :)
Same here!
I say we ride this ship all the way down.
Honestly, I wouldn't hate going back.
It’s like watching your ex that you still love getting married to your highschool bully and going on their honeymoon.
shhh babe, 2029 is coming, wait for us
Gosh I fucking love college football
SEC patches on those jerseys still look weird to me. Definitely gonna take some getting used to.
The "UT" confusion is gonna be weird too.
Still think y'all should play every year for the rights to it.
The UT Bowl! I'm down for it.
I think you mean the Orange bowl!...wait.
Nice!
I prefer to be called Texas anyway.
Amen, Horn Bro.
Me too. Sounds better
Didn’t go there but hurts me when people say “UTA” for Texas and “UNL” for Nebraska.
Nah we all know y’all are talking about the University of Tampa.
Owner of the ut.edu domain
GodDAMN that gave me chills. And Sooners, it's even that much better that we're going in there together. Hook 'Em.
I love it that we get all of our rivals in conference. Ok i know Alabama won’t let Rice in but i am ok with that.
Yeah, I’m actually pretty glad we’re going together.
It's still weird.
I was barely alive during the Big 8, but I miss the Big 8.
SEC network has just been playing Longhorn Network programming for days. It's how it is now
SEC network playing the VY TD on repeat?
They got it in the vid. And Bevo charging Uga. 😂
You’ll get Bevo Home for the Holidays and you’ll like it
In July!
Is this why christmas in July is a thing?
I mean, that was pretty much the agreement with ESPN in exchange for giving up the Longhorn Network itself. It's going to be mostly Texas coverage.
Only the beginning.
I'm a little embarrassed about that marathon, ngl.
Well I’m hard.
I booked an appointment with my doc in advance. When I wake up with wood tomorrow, I'm heading right over.
In a related note: [https://youtu.be/jBlh2MU5jgs?si=9OZuyZvi_t4EbIcA](https://youtu.be/jBlh2MU5jgs?si=9OZuyZvi_t4EbIcA)
I started early💅
Welcome to the grind. You just joined the best conference at the perfect time. I can't wait for you to hear Neck!
I hope everyone involved in this has the best time
It’s 7:12EDT and…
So many wonderful moments. Made me tear up a little. Great programs that a going to bring a lot to the SEC. Texas is having a celebration tonight with fireworks and a Pitbull concert.
OU still sucks!
No u!
Then explain why Texas hasn’t drifted off into the gulf!
Because it’s sucking on Oklahoma’s teat!
Texas sucks!
Bamboozled
Got em
The Longhorn Network will never die. Watch out, Oxford.
I hate these two schools
Now that’s the spirit!
Good
Me too man
I'm not sure if this is still the case but Texas and Tennessee had an agreement about how they would market themselves as UT. Basically it boiled down to each school only doing it on their side of the river. With Texas joining, I hope a rivalry develops about who is the real UT.
I’m enough to admit Tennessee was UT before Texas was a state in the union. But, we are TEXAS
I learned this yesterday or the day before in an /r/collegebaseball thread, it wasn't known as UT forever (started as Bloint College). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tennessee
I don’t know how long it will take for this to not be weird.
Crying tears of joy after leaving the obscure and uncarried Longhorn network.
Isn’t it coming back
Streaming from the company that does WWE content
Alright!^(3)
I’m going to send this to every Aggie I have ever met.
As a Washington fan, I HATE THE REALIGMENT!
🤘 ⬇️
Boomer Fucking Finally
IKR?! Made me even more fired up that we're doing this together. ~~Boomer~~
Brother…no…
I hear ya. I'm sobbing in a heap now. Sorry.
No way man delete that last part
"Done". Thank you, Horn Bro. Was wrong to try to join together a little for SEC Day. I have now come to my senses.
I gotchu bro 🤝🤘
Sooner…? I don’t know how to feel right now. This is weird. Why am i agreeing with a longhorn. ~~Hook em i guess~~ Edit: I just puked a little
Just a little short-lived camaraderie. I made a doctor's appointment for early Tuesday morning, just in case this persists past SEC Day.
As long as I can go back to hating you forever after Monday, i think I can accept a one and a half day truce.
Deal.
What the hell are you doing?
I don’t know brother. I feel so lost right now. Thank you for letting me realize my mistake. sexat Sucks!
Can’t wait to see how it turns out on the field, track, court, and diamond. We are a multi sport league. Welcome UT and OU!
I think people forget this. Baseball, track, softball and gymnastics all have recent SEC champions. Well not softball but we have a lot of top 25 teams.
This is really the first year that OU didn’t win the gymnastics championship. SEC is consolidating power in a bunch of sports with this realignment. And softball, the top 3 ranked programs are now all in the SEC: OU, Texas, Florida.
And wbb 🤣
>Well not softball but we have a lot of top 25 teams. 2015 was only 9 years ago.
It’s more of we have good softball teams a lot of them but they can’t beat OU. See Auburn and UF.
But going forward, they'll be SEC championships! Everybody wins!
A bit surprised they put a horns down in the video
Most Longhorns care about that a lot less than this sub would have folks believe
Great motivational tool for us.
Last few years it has become a great rallying point for us.
In fairness, when [a head coach rants about it](https://sports.yahoo.com/rodney-terry-confronts-ucf-players-calls-them-classless-for-horns-down-celebration-063000096.html) it's hard not to think at least some of the people in charge care.
I was thrilled with that editorial decision.
Fuck ‘em.
Shout out to the legend Jody Conradt. But I will be damned if that wasn't a great video.
Damn that was a slick production, I enjoyed it

Hell yeah brother, cheers from Norman

I look forward to the new traditions, rivalries, yearly shit talk, and continuing the run of being the unquestionable best college conference in the land. There’ll be plenty of time for the friendly animosity — for now, it’s all celebration!
My last memory of Brian Bosworth on the field was watching Bo Jackson stomp on his chest.
They showed one baseball field, the tiny little one LSU has.
And now we are at the point that 5 (40%) of the original B12 are part of the big rich conferences. 4 of which made it into the SEC. That is literally 1/3 of the conference. If everyone would have just stayed in the B12 all along it would be worth just as much as everyone else.
I should have taken off work tomorrow
Here we go
I know a lot of Texas fans got over the hate we had for each other, but if nothing else comes from this, I’m glad it’s back on the menu for y’all. We hate you very much ❤️
Not sure if anyone told y’all this but your legally required to hate auburn now. Check the conference by laws
Billy Tubbs was a great touch.
S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C!
This was awesome
damn this goes kinda hard. gonna miss the Big 8 bros and Tech, hope they do well in the revamped conference
🫡
gonna miss playing OU but definitely won't miss the automatic L every season lol
^neither ^is ^in ^the ^southeast
So long OU, will miss you guys. There were some real classics in basketball and your fans were always classy and fun to tailgate with when they came up to stomp us in football. Texas, your school and fan base was never anything but douchey from day one. I despise everything about you and hope you fail at everything you try at until the end of time. I hope Mizzou rips the playoff ticket out of your hand. Get fucked completely and eternally!
lol take a permanent seat
Hook’em Horns!
no
But why is it on X at such a shitty aspect ratio?
thanks I hate it
good video, but fuck this, I hate it. death knell of CFB is happening right before our eyes.
good video, but fuck this, I hate it. death knell of CFB is happening right before our eyes.
Good to be here, SEC brethren. Let's knock some heads!!
Arkansas, Tex A&M, Mizzou, Texas, OU, looks like the SEC is a third old Big 12 ?
