Comments on: Do Tisdale and Kurland really rank at the top http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2009/05/18/do-tisdale-and-kurland-really-rank-at-the-top/ Thoughts from The Oklahoman Sports Columnist Berry Tramel | NewsOK.com Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Jimmy http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2009/05/18/do-tisdale-and-kurland-really-rank-at-the-top/comment-page-1/#comment-8603 Jimmy Thu, 28 May 2009 21:33:37 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/?p=928#comment-8603 Prentice Gault is certainly a legend in OU sports but why TEXAS is singled out for its late 1960′s football integration is a mistury to me. They integrated at about the same time as every team in the SWC, SEC and the ACC. OU was in a conference that integrated earlier and that made it much easier for them. Besides, a school whose entire history as built on cheating and NCAA infractions should be speaking about ANY moral issues.

How about Johnny Bench, for one?

Did I attack you? I merely pointed out that Heuple and others (as you note)are not native Oklahomans. I think an apology is in order.

You are an idiot… a lot of this list is not from Oklahoma, most notably Stacey Dales, who isn’t even from this freaking country (Canada).

Other obvious notables:
Barry Sanders – Kansas
Jack Mildren – Texas
Chris Paul – North Carolina

Get a life and stop trying to point out other peoples mistakes.

He had a great impact, yes, but I don’t believe he is from Oklahoma!

But you could put an asterik beside William Tisdale. He was the most important recruit for Tubbs.
