Overview

• After a 23-6 loss to Texas, Brent Venables said the SEC is a weekly grind and, in his words, “this isn’t the old Big 12 days where Oklahoma destroys everybody every single week.”
• The Big 12’s X account replied by noting he lost eight conference games in two Big 12 seasons, with records of 3-6 in 2022 and 7-2 in 2023.
• Oklahoma’s exit to the SEC remains a source of friction with its former league, reflecting a more confrontational social posture under commissioner Brett Yormark.
• Venables went 2-6 in his first SEC season, and this year the Sooners are 5-1 after splitting their first two SEC games.
• The exchange drew notable attention on social media, and Texas accounts joined the pile-on after reclaiming the Golden Hat.
