Welcome to the SEC, Texas and Oklahoma. Enjoy the party while you can.

This is an opinion column.

You have to give the Horns their props. They know how to throw a hoedown. They threw quite a party Sunday night to mark their official July 1 introduction to the Southeastern Conference, with Sark and Schloss chopping it up on the 40 Acres with Commissioner Sankey and AD CDC - aka Chris Del Conte - beaming after stealing Texas A&M’s thunder, swiping its baseball coach and snatching its poor Aggie soul.

Texas went first, which is where Texas thinks it belongs - all evidence to the contrary - but Oklahoma will join the party today with a boot-scootin’ bash of its own in Norman. It Just Means More means the SEC is now bigger, bolder and more flush with cash than ever with 16 members.
