SEC Shorts Wastes No Time Roasting Texas, Oklahoma in 2024 Premiere
FRISCO, Texas – Over the past several years, especially since Texas and Oklahoma announced they were coming to the SEC, the team over at SEC Shorts has rarely missed an opportunity to include them in their comedy sketches.
So, with a new football season technically underway with the official entry of the Longhorns and Sooners early this morning and SEC Media Days in Dallas in a couple of weeks, the Alabama based comedic team wasted no time in offering its 2024 season premiere Monday morning. With Texas and Oklahoma the clear focal point of this year’s opening skit, enjoy what will probably be the first of many jabs the group takes at their expense with a slight hint of Arkansas on the side.
Just try to not get too worked up on who officially inducts them into the league.

OKC Thunder Announce Starting Lineup Against Suns In Game 2
The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their opening-round series. The OKC Thunder are hoping that they can repeat their Sunday afternoon performance in this contest. Game 2 will be an interesting test with the Suns having more time to prepare.
Phoenix was up against a rock and a hard place in the series opener. The Oklahoma City Thunder not only have the talent advantage but the rest advantage as well. Phoenix punched their ticket to the NBA Playoffs on Friday night by staving off the Golden State Warriors on Friday night before landing in Oklahoma City on Saturday and playing on Saturday afternoon to the tune of a 119-84 blowout Thunder victory.
The NBA has seen plenty of upsets already. The Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers have all stolen games from the higher seed. The Thunder know they have to keep the foot on the gas in this contest.
“These series are unpredictable. No 2 games are the same. The minute you make an assumption, you are overconfident, or the minute you go down and you’re overly urgent, that can impact your ability to be present in the next game,” Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said pregame on Wednesday night.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are seeing the Suns make an adjustment with their starting lineup by inserting Collin Gillespie to give Phoenix a trio of ball handling scoring options alongside Devin Booker and Jalen Green. This gives the Suns hope to be able to find better shot quality against this stifling Thunder defensive unit.
Oklahoma City is healthier now than they have been all season. The Thunder only are missing rookie Thomas Sorber (ACL) who is out for the year. This allows the Bricktown Ballers to roll out their traditional first five in this contest.
