Twitter reacts to Oklahoma Sooners’ SEC opponents for 2024
The Oklahoma Sooners have a slate of SEC opponents for the 2024 season. Though still more than a year away, the conference move just got real.
Part of the move to the SEC was to see a schedule packed with marquee matchups. Greg Sankey and his schedule makers hit it out of the park.
There are no gimmes on the schedule. There are some incredible matchups coming to Norman, and Oklahoma’s road slate looks incredible.
The Sooners welcome Nick Saban, Josh Heupel and Shane Beamer to Norman. They’ll go on the road to Auburn, Baton Rouge, Columbia and Oxford.
Oklahoma renews a rivalry with Missouri that is 96 games strong. Though it may not be the Red River Showdown or Bedlam, it’s a game with history. On the flip side, the Sooners will break the ice with South Carolina, welcoming the Gamecocks to Norman for the first matchup between the two schools.
This is what the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns were looking for when they opted to move to the SEC. Big-time matchups on a week-to-week basis that will keep the college football world buzzing.
Will it be easy? Absolutely not. But it’s going to be a lot of fun.
Twitter was buzzing with the announcement, and here are some of the best reactions.

Need some DL Dudes
Now that you have your 2024 schedule Oklahoma fans need to bow their heads and pray for 6-7 of the best defensive tackles in the country. I will handle the hallucinogens.

Conferences love Texas
Looking at ten year model so OU right at the top or near the top. Texas not so much.

The real winner here is ESPN… The SEC will have multiple marquee matchups with national brands on a weekly basis.

Alabama's schedule... wooof
Alabama in 2024 is playing road games at Wisconsin, LSU, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
And Georgia at home.
That’s … incredible.

It's a Crimson thing
I met Joe C for a few minutes after schedule reveal.
I asked about facing Alabama. He recalled Tide fans arriving on Tuesday of game week in 2002: "There really is a kindred spirit between the two (fan bases). I think that really speaks well of college athletics." #Sooners

Fantastic matchups coming to Norman
A home schedule of Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina is the best I can remember in my lifetime.
And trips to Baton Rouge, Oxford and Auburn? 10 of 10 on the excitement scale.
Let’s go!
— Tyler McComas (@Tyler_McComas) June 14, 2023
Huge financial implications
The announcement of the SEC schedule is sort of more than just a football schedule. Will mean big $$ for the merchants of OKC/Norman. Kind of exciting. I'd project OU/Alabama as one of the biggest weekends in (maybe?) a decade.
