Some may be higher on Venebales than I am, but he won't bring them close to their previous highs, especially in the SEC.

OU just wants to fit in with its SEC peers when it starts paying huge buyouts.

I'm with you on Texas, OU will struggle. They aren't a strong team right now.

I am shocked that they did this... he was struggling in the BIG12... not sure how he'll do much better in the SEC
