I am just saying don’t get your hopes up. The past 18 years have been mediocre at best. The last great game was a cold, icy day in Norman versus UNLV. If Mookie didn’t try to be a glory grabber in the NC game in KC things would have been different. When you settle for second place, this is what you get.

Also up top with the former OU football players, could you include Leon Heath? I go back a long way & he was my guy.
You do such a good job with your columns & blogs.
Thanks,
Carolyn

Heart, soul. And brain half empty too. I am not quite sure what team he has been watching. Anyhow, bravo to the Sooners as they played a solid game w/o the key player.

We knew we had a coach before the Texas game, and now we know we have a team. These guys can play and now the TEAM knows it too. Great effort on Saturday night. There’s no QUIT in these guys! See you at the final four David!

Two years removed from not making the NIT and you want to start the fire the coach parade. Get some perspective on how far the program has come. We got blown out, with Blake, just last year in Austin. There are worse things in sports than losing bcs title games and having to sit on your couch today breaking down the game tape from Austin after you finish off a twelve pack. Get rid of your sense of entitlement and appreciate what Joe C. Has built down in Norman.

The disease has spread to basketball. Don’t expect a Final Four run-you will just be disappointed again. One man shows rarely workout. You need a team. Coach to win. Win on the foul line, get the easy bucket, call a timeout and play defense not pray for a three point shot to go in. This script has been played out… is anyone else had enough of it?
