I think OU should be ranked.

I think OSU is sucking more than ever.

I think Veriticus star (Tulsa area kid) signing with R-Kansas, rather than the school that his dad is BASKETBALL OPERATIONS DIRECTOR of (Oral Roberts University) shows that ORU really is toast, no matter which Sutton is coaching them, and it has nothing to do with basketball, the school's only remaining area of achievement.

I think ORU Sutton should become OSU Sutton... for OSU's sake.

For OU's sake, I hope they keep Sean Sutton around a very long time.

I think it's fun to live in a state with four tournament regulars - TU, ORU, OSU and OU.

SO WHY CAN'T THEY ALL GO THIS YEAR?!?! :mad:

I think we should have a tournament where OU plays ORU and TU and OSU does the same... it can be at that new BOK Center in Tulsa.

Ok... that's all the chatter I have :D

a 3 day round robin during Christmas break would be pretty cool

I think that guy that "pumps up" the crowd and narrates all the timeout contests at the LNC is somewhat unnecessary...

True dat. At least they're not doing the apartment complex sponsored tricycle races this year.

I wish the band could get weird. Ominous slow songs, tuba solos, Boredoms style noise blasts, dancing and stuff.

we could split it, kind of like the baseball games in okc and tulsa between ou and osu:)

i'd just like it to be in tulsa, because that's where I am and all.

I think it's funny that there's all these upsets in basketball, kind of like there was in football so far this year.

Of course, upsets are expected in basketball, so you can lose to a mediocre team, and still recover in the rankings quickly.

I stayed up late to watch the USC vs. So Ill game last night. OJ Mayo was not missing and they have a kid named Davon Jefferson #5 that is a good post player that can run the court. Mayo scored 13, Jefferson had 20 and both of them came off the bench! How the hell these guys lost to Mercer is beyond me.

Timmah has a great young team in the making at USC and our young Sooners are going to have their hands full this coming Thursday night!

Clap. Clap. Clap yo' hands! (clap clap clap)

Ok, enough of that clappy crappy. Give your clapping hands a rest and use them to type these randomly selected teams in order of awesomeness this year.

Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Mizzou, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech

My order:
Kansas
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
Texas
Okie State
Mizzou
Tcek
Iowa State
Nebbish
Colorado
Baylor

Hey, that's almost the order for football, too! Speaks volumes about an athletic department that can keep programs thriving throughout the year and not just one season.

As of right now, I'd put texas above OU and Mizzou above OSU. Kansas State should be near the top as well.

Oh, dear Top Dawg, I miss you almost as much as Hollis Price. I wish you would come back to Oklahoma.

My uncle, cousin, and I will be at the USC game on Thursday so you will not be alone. The new arena is nice and there will be a pretty good crowd according to tix sales. I would love to see the schooner there so that Boomer and Sooner could leave a surprise on the court.

We need a pro-wrestling style return of Top Dawg where he comes out of nowhere and bashes DJ dooshrocket over the head with a metal chair and saves the crowd from further ghey annoyance.

Does suc seem really schizo right now, or is it just me? They lost to Mercer, but a lot of people say they are playing well right now...

They have a really young team, even more so than OU. It was mentioned during the So. Illinois game the other night that there may have been some sort of rift between two or more of the freshmen at the beginning of the season. It looks to me as if they have learned to play as a team and the ability of their frosh to create a shot on their own is remarkable, considering how badly they dismantled what normally is a very good defensive team in Southern Illinois.

And those dooshy yellow jacketed types that make the LNC seem like some sort of high security compound or something. :mad:

The horse pigs symbolize what is wrong with OU athletics - the commercialization of Oklahoma's success, if you will.

This is what happens when DJ Clap Clap Clap yo' hands replaces a pep band music with recorded music.

This is what happens when fans are rewarded for purchasing basketball tickets instead of using basketball tickets to see OU basketball.

This is what happens when fans are forced to stay in the upper level when there are thousands of lower level seats open... because that's what their ticket stub says :(

This is what happens with Horse Pigs. Die, horse piggies :mad:

It should be a good test tonight at USC. We will see jsut how good this team is when they are matched up against a good, not great team like Memphis. It's at 10:00pm CST on FSN.

Who performs better, Mayo or Griffin?

If it's an actual classroom test, no doubt Griffin. :D


I could see Mayo feeding off the home crowd. Which Sooner will D up on him tonight?

I think the Big 12 sucks this year, despite awesome recruits. What's up with that?

Here's hoping a few stay more than a year so we can improve the conference (especially OU) and see better basketball outta the area :D

Oh, and for NYC Poke, the Pokes are playing Corpus Christi tonight. 7 p.m. on our local Fox channels. I think our game will be more fun to watch though... my thoroughly unbiased opinion ;)

Upcoming OOC games of note:
12/15 Arkansas
12/20 Gonzaga
12/29 West Virginia

That's going to be a tough stretch. We'll need to hit shots like we did tonight to make it through.

I'm watching WVU right now. :eek: They've got some athletes on that team. Including a big that proves that white men can jump. Had a sick alley oop dunk.
