It was a pretty successful year, mind you. Plus, isn't he from the state of Texas? Like a lot of non-alum OU fans, it's about state pride as much as school pride, right?

He probably grew up a whorn fan and wasn't given the chance like many Texas football players to convert to the light side. It's a basketball thingy.

I doubt that considering he is from Maryland and grew up in ACC country, where basketball is king.

He actually didn't attend classes there for an entire school year. I think it's just immaturity. I seriously doubt Eduardo threw out a bunch of Horn hate when he showed up to play for the Mavs. That said, if he had most of us would have been all giddy about it.

I like it. It's not like he has been hating on the Sooners, he's just being a fan of the Longhorns.

I would hope a sooner player wouldn't become a Longhorn fan just because a Texas team drafted him. Maybe if he played for the OU Thunder it would be different, but he doesn't.

Maybe he's bitter about moving from cosmopolitan Seattle to OKC. He'll appreciate his Sooner surroundings more when he gets to play in front of a jacked-up, sold-out home court. Give him time...

Hey PQ, I've heard rumors that the guy in your avatar once hit a hole-in-one...

He just turned 20. They gave him a scholarship and fully indoctrinated him. I wouldn't expect anything less.

I imagine his Texas love stems from the same place as my Oklahoma love.

Hand a kid a big wad of cash and they're a fan for life.

In his case, they handed him a HUGE wad of cash.
