Holder: Expect more Bedlam
OSU athletic director Mike Holder likes my idea of an All-College Bedlam, an OSU-OU basketball doubleheader in the Ford Center in December, with no conference ramifications. Said he thought of it himself last March during the wild Bedlam game in the Big 12 Tournament.
Holder also said the schools ought to play more often in most sports and he expects that to happen.
Holder said an extra baseball game is planned, on campus, with one year in Norman and the next year in Stillwater, etc. He said he would like to see a softball game played at Hall of Fame Stadium.
I suggested a Ryder Cup-style Bedlam golf match, and Holder said that’s likely to happen, in the autumn, although my scenario of a three-day event — Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Jimmie Austin in Norman and Oak Tree in Edmond — isn’t feasible, because of NCAA limits on playing dates. A one-day event is more likely.
Anyway, Holder’s on board for more Bedlam. He likes the notion of giving fans more events they care about. Here-here.

Pure sweetness. All of these things would be great!
By doubleheader in basketball – do you mean two men’s games in a row or 1 men’s game and 1 women’s game? First I assumed the men and women both playing, but then I read it again and it almost sounds like you are talking about the men playing two games.
