'What makes the SEC different? It’s the fans,' columnist JoeGoodmanJr writes about Oklahoma and Texas joining the conference in 2024. 'They’re the craziest in the country, and they demand the best at all times.'
The time and place for a rash of Birmingham can never be predicted, but we all know that fleshly manifestation of fear and hate is coming for the Sooners and Longhorns. It’s the only rite of passage that SEC rivals can celebrate together while also wishing individual ruin and suffering against each other.
We’re still more than a year away from a Southeastern Conference that just means more teams and already worlds are colliding. That’s because the real motto of the SEC is this: recruit or die. No one recruits better than Alabama and Georgia, but Texas is coming and everyone else better sharpen their knives. Arch Manning chose coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns over Nick Saban and Alabama. It was nothing personal, of course.
Whether current Oklahoma coach Brent Venables will be around to experience the misery of Birmingham remains to be seen. Venables is entering his second season with OU, but his team had a record of 6-7 overall and 3-6 in the Big 12 in 2022. What’s worse is that Oklahoma lost to Texas 49-0 in the Red River Showdown. Venables could have been at Auburn, but now he’ll be sweating in the torturous SEC hot seat before even joining the league.What makes the SEC different? It’s the fans.
