Oklahoma and Texas are now officially in the SEC
NewsCan’t believe they’d let a team from the Midwest into the SEC.
Missouri paved the way.
Oklahoma is very much not the Midwest.
I’d argue arkansas, missouri, and parts of oklahoma make up their own little cultural bubble.
Maybe Missouri south of I44.
I specifically mean the the ozark highlands when it comes to missouri, in my experience the cultural differences between northern arkansas and southern missouri are almost nonexistent.
arkansas and oklahoma also share the ouachitas which makes for its own little regional bubble.
Southern Missouri is part of the Upland South

I’d say Missouri along and north of state highway 50 is definitely a different feel from Oklahoma and that’s where most of the Missouri population lives.
“The Upland South” is a modern term that defines new areas of economic growth in the southeast. I’m literally just describing the geography and mountain cultures that live in the area.
I’ve done lots of forestry work all around salem plateau and the communities and people there remind me greatly of the communities and mountains that I grew up in. I’m not saying that the population centers are similar at all, but when it comes to ozark culture we have some pretty neat shared stuff.
Things people from Oklahoma say for $200, Alex.
Oklahoma is in the SW.
Lol.. you were referring to Mizzou. Wuteva!
You have been neither to Oklahoma nor the Midwest, I can tell.
There’s only one midwestern team in the SEC and they’ve been there for 12 years
Oklahoma is part of the south. It’s not traditional SEC country but it’s not the Midwest
