Are we going to have more conference realignment?
A report on Wednesday from the Houston Chronicle said that Texas and Oklahoma have talked with the SEC about joining the conference and bolting from the Big 12.
Various high-level officials basically said “no comment” to all of that. But of course the report sent college football fans into a tizzy about the possibility of the two powerhouses joining an already-packed SEC that has so many contenders year to year including LSU, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M and, of course, Alabama.
So here’s a collection of jokes about the possible move, because — as expected — Twitter was full of them.

There's nothing more college football than Big 12 schools fighting over penalties for Oklahoma players flashing the horns down sign at Texas players, while Oklahoma and Texas secretly conspire to leave the conference together.
