Crap, I knew it was Senior day, but I wasn't aware that this would be Big Bad Bob's last home game. Dude is a legend in my book, particularly grew up with him listening to Sooners sports.

even after I left Oklahoma, back when internet radio was free, I'd find him broadcasting games while I was in the Military and abroad.

This freakin team BETTER win today because of this.


• The game will mark the last at home for longtime radio play-by-play announcer Bob Barry. Barry, in his 50th year of calling games, is retiring after this season. He will be recognized during a halftime tribute and will sign autographs at the conclusion of the Sooner Sports Network's radio broadcast.

I will miss him saying "Touchdown Oklahoma!"

Beat Aggy and I will change my avatar to a picture of me streaking alongside Will Ferrell in Old School.

I mean, if we can get him to re-shoot it with me. He's not doing anything lately, is he?

If we could put 5 players on the court with the heart & soul of Cade Davis, we would have a winning record...


P.S. Thanks Bob!

I'm gonna miss seeing Cade play with that heart and passion. We're going to miss him a lot more than people think next year. Let's beat the aggots.

How about because he is the hardest working player on the team and a leader.

Sorry, but that is hogwash. Aside from the poor effort against Tech this past week, this team has played as hard as they possibly can all year long. Heart, effort, and passion are not problems on this team....they just have NO talent.

On a Sweet 16-type team Cade Davis would be the 7th-8th man in the rotation. He may not even crack the rotation for a Final Four type team. On our team, he is clearly the best/most talented guy on the floor-- and therein lies the problem.

Cade gave it his all during his four years, and I applaud him for that, but there's no need to call out his teammates in the process. They aren't any good, but they ARE trying.

I'm telling you Big 12 refs are worse than YMCA refs. They think they have to be in on every play and they completely ruin the flow of the game.

Sounds right on the fouls. Way too many

Sooner95
3/5/2011, 04:50 PM
3 for 12 from 3pt range.. improve it or stop shooting it.

to many freakin fouls..but its' not going to change so we need to adjust.

3/5/2011, 04:54 PM
I know it's Cade's day and all around here but he shot 2 three's when yall had all momentum when no one was down to rebound and he missed and to me that took yall's crowd out of the game

Cade gets 3 point happy at times. We need to drive to the basket more.

I was kind of looking forward to hearing some of the tribute on the radio for Bob Sr.

Sooner95

and not to just pick on Cade, other players have been guilty of this. Settling for 3's, when driving and getting fouled would be more beneficial.

coughcamclarkcough!

seriously though, he caught a ball towards the end of the half, pump faked, took one dribble clearly past his man, had a wide open drive to the bucket, instead pulled up for a 12 foot jumper. he got fouled on it, but he should have driven to the bucket. if he pump fakes on that wing shot, he would have open drives all game.

Bob Sr. still does a good job broadcasting, albeit he makes mistakes, more than he used to, but at this stage of his career a fine job.

Going to miss his voice most of all. It is synonymous with OU football and basketball.

man we cannot rebound. doesnt help when the only people rebounding are Fitz, Cade and 4 Cowboys.

terrible call on that Fitz travel under the bucket, but they madeup for it with that terrible call that Pledger got taking the ball up the court.

56-53 good guys with Pledger at the line for 2....

As much as bob drove me crazy in football, he did basketball much better. Love bob. I listened to the second half on the road.

Where does that leave us ranked in the big 12? Where is aggie? My giva****ter broke about 3 weeks ago.

Fitting ending that Cade would grab the last rebound to seal the deal. So glad I ended up going...I wasn't feeling well, but me and a friend ended up going and getting free tickets from a very nice elderly lady just outside the doors. Thank you nice elderly lady!

I understand you were simply trying to compliment Cade, but I think fans tend to oversimplify the "heart and hustle" stuff as automatically translating to more wins. If you have guys with talent that ALSO go all out, then that makes a difference. But no matter how hard these guys played this year, the results were still going to be rough.

Cade is not just a heart/ hustle type of guy. He is a very good player that would start for just about every team in the conference. He looks worse for us than he should because he is not an elite offensive player but we ask him to be. He is an excellent passer, rebounder, and defender. He plays smart, and makes the players around him better. He would be a perfect 5th starter on a good team.

Props to Cade, he never did any one thing exceptionally, but he did everything well and always hustled.

Too bad he and Bob Barry had to go out associated with a program completely ruined by Capel.
