Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables compared the SEC schedule to its old Big 12 schedule at his weekly press conference on Oct. 14, saying the Sooners can’t dominant like they used to given the tougher schedule.
“This isn’t the old Big 12 days where Oklahoma destroys everybody every single week except one game of the year,’ Venables.’
The Big 12 brought up receipts.
‘Coach Venables lost eight conference games in his two seasons in the Big 12,’ the account wrote on X.
In Venables’ defense, he won seven Big 12 conference titles as the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma from 1999-2011 and went 10-2 in the regular season in his second season with the Sooners. He did, however, finish with a 3-6 conference record in 2022.
But college football doesn’t care about the past, just look at Penn State firing coach James Franklin on Oct. 12. That sentiment is especially true when the chance to troll comes up.
‘The Big12 found a kid on the street abandoned since age 12 with major scores to settle and said “run our social media…you will answer to nobody,’ college football personality Josh Pate wrote in response to the post.
Oklahoma is still looking to get back on track under Venables, as the former Clemson defensive coordinator has a 27-18 record in his fourth season as the Sooners’ head coach. Oklahoma is coming off a 6-7 finish in 2024 in its first season in the SEC, and fell to Texas 23-6 on Oct. 11 despite starting the season 5-0.
The Sooners are looking to get back in the win column on Oct. 18 when they travel to South Carolina in their third conference game of the season.
It appears the Big 12 might be closely watching for any future social media content.
