"OU in the Big Ten doesn't sound right.

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. Those are schools that have little in common with the Sooners. Culturally. Geographically. Historically. Frankly, outside Nebraska (an epic rivalry) and Iowa (Bob Stoops), there's little linking OU to the Big Ten.

But as I wrote the other day, if the Sooners ever leave the Big 12, the Big Ten would be the destination of choice."


His last sentence above pretty well sums it up.

Being an old Okie I can tell you most people in Oklahloma think of themselves as Midwesterners or Southwesterners, not Southerners.

There is very little difference in Oklahoma and Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. Trammel mentions Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. He fails to mention that if OU goes to the Big10 they will likely be in a division with Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and quite possibly Texas and Missouri. All states they have had a long historic association with.
