The best OU basketball team and a team that will win a national championship in the not too distant future!

Tonight, the Sooners won at iowa state, 87-67. It was the first win at Ames since 1994 and ended a 21 home game win streak for the cyclones!

With missouri's upset over baylor, is a Big 12 Title a possibility?

Well it will be nice just to be competing for the Big 12 title, Coach Coales is one of the best coaches in the country regardless of sport. We are really blessed right now at OU, we have so many great respectable coaches. With Patty Gasso, Sherri Coales, Kelvin Sampson, and Bob Stoops we are quite loaded at the moment.

a colorado player, who was undoubtedly one of the largest women we bandites have ever seen, endured some terrible taunting just four years ago when colorado visited town.

she had the cu athletic department call the ou athletic department to complain about our taunts. Beeping (like a semi backing up) complete with hand motions and chewbacca growls (hey chewbacca! what a wookie!) was apparently too much for her to take.

plus, ou beat them, despite her 30 or so points. grrrrowl.

that's not the worst I've heard about from the women's band. I heard that back when Sherri first got here and we still averaged about 40 fans a game they got away with anything they wanted. Worst I heard about was a rather large girl up for a free throw and BK (I think he's on here as SoonerBK) yells "FAT!" and it echoed. Needless to say, she missed the shot.

no, but I can yell "shut up" and other things from my new home - in the stands, right behind the band :D

and the best defense to "defense" (why is it always the girls teams that do the bench chants and not those men's team members that know they have no chance of ever playing?) is to chant something else over it... in our case, "O-U!" works quite well.

before my time (i started in 2001) I heard that a member of the women's band gathered a bunch of member's jackets, put them all on and started dancing around chanting "man! man!" while wearing all of the jackets. he apparently was escorted out afterwards.

Courtney Paris only had 18 points and a mere 12 rebounds. What's the matter, Paris? Can't handle more than 25 minutes, or is it Coach Coale that we should be blaming for your subpar numbers?

This angers me. Future Player of the Year only playing about half the game. Boo. What, get your Paris twins confused? That's okay, but after seeing one commit more fouls than rebounds that should have been some hint about who's who. There is only one solution to this...

We are winning so much that nobody will want to play us anymore. Once evicted from the Big 12 conference after stealing so many Big 12 Player of the Week's, Freshman of the Week's... soon to be followed with Player of the Year's, Freshman of the Year's and even Coach of the Year's, where will we go, the WAC?

Better yet, they'll trade places with our men's team. Let the women handle our mediocre conference rivals and let the men play all these ranked women's teams in the conference. If the women can manhandle (hehe) the greatest women's teams in the country, surely they would prevent crappy men's Big 12 teams from hitting all those three's.

Confident Paris has Sooners on brink of perfect Big 12 run

By JEFF LATZKE, AP Sports Writer
February 28, 2006

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- By the time her first practice with Courtney Paris was over, Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale already knew exactly how to push the highly touted freshman's buttons.

If she wanted to see Paris at her very best, all Coale had to do was give her a challenge and tell her she couldn't do it.

There's been little that Paris hasn't been able to do in her first year of college. She has reeled off a string of 21 straight double-doubles to lead all Division I players, leading the ninth-ranked Sooners (25-4) to the first 15-0 start in Big 12 history.

For a player who believes she can do anything she puts her mind to, Paris isn't surprised at the Sooners' impressive Big 12 run.

"I'm not a loser. I'm not used to losing," said Paris, the national high school player of the year last year. "I don't like to lose and I feel like we have a really good team. If we're playing well, we don't have to lose."

With Paris at the helm, the Sooners have done little of that lately. They've won 13 straight games and have an average margin of victory of 16.3 points in Big 12 play.

The 6-foot-3 center enters this week leading the nation with 14.9 rebounds per game and in the top 10 in scoring (21.0) and blocks (3.1). She's the only player in the top 10 in all three categories.

"I'm a confident player, and definitely I don't try to be arrogant. It's confidence," Paris said. "When I've got a jersey on and I'm out there with my team, I feel a little bit invincible."

That confidence has been honed through hours and hours of practice, and a look in the mirror.

"It's just because I've put a lot of time into it and I know that I'm bigger than everybody else," Paris said.

It runs in the family. She is the daughter of former San Francisco 49ers lineman William "Bubba" Paris and the niece of former Seattle SuperSonics forward Leonard Gray. But she didn't start playing basketball until about age 10.

"I played in this Boys and Girls Club league with a bunch of kids," she said. "I was horrible and then I started thinking `I really like this,' and I started working at it every day and playing with my brothers and I just got better."

By sixth grade, she was better than the other kids her age.

By high school, she was simply dominant. She averaged 27.4 points, 18.9 rebounds and five blocks as a senior at Piedmont High School in California and was the MVP of the McDonald's All-American game.

Then she started hearing doubts about her ability.

"My biggest thing was everyone was thinking like, `Courtney, you're going to have to adjust to college,"' she said. "Well, those girls are going to have to adjust to me, too."

Paris quickly broke just about every freshman record at Oklahoma, then went on to set school records for rebounds and blocks in a season. She's 11 rebounds away from breaking the NCAA freshman record.

Opponents have dreamed up all kinds of schemes to try to stop her, including Baylor's "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy that sent Paris to the free-throw line in the final minute of overtime on Feb. 12.

Before Paris stepped up to shoot, teammate Krista Sanchez stepped over and said, "You know they fouled you on purpose, right?"

In other words: They don't think you can do this.

Less than a 50 percent foul shooter, she made both free throws to cap a 31-point, 19-rebound performance and secure an 81-77 win.

"It's amazing," Sanchez said. "When you put a little bit of pressure on her, then she's OK. Like it makes it easier."

What's been equally impressive to Sanchez, though, is how Paris and her twin sister, Ashley, have fit in since arriving at Oklahoma. The two McDonald's All-Americans have been ballyhooed like superstars, but certainly don't act that way.

"They're always like, 'What can I do for you,' not, 'What can you do for me,"' Sanchez said. "That's why everybody loves them."

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Courtney Paris got a triple double and set an NCAA freshman rebounding record as No. 9 Oklahoma held off Texas Tech 60-59 on Wednesday night, denying Lady Raider coach Marsha Sharp a final regular-season home win.

Paris, a candidate for national player of the year, scored 18 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and blocked 10 shots for the Sooners (26-4, 16-0), who became the first team to go undefeated in the Big 12 since the league began in 1996. She got her record-breaking 444th rebound of the season late in the game.

We are really blessed right now at OU, we have so many great respectable coaches. With Patty Gasso, Sherri Coales, Kelvin Sampson, and Bob Stoops we are quite loaded at the moment.

Don't forget this guy:
http://sooner.nmn.speedera.net/pics12/200/OE/OEROOGXPGNIGBSE.20051025151034.jpg

When searching for continued dominance in recent years across the sport of NCAA men’s gymnastics, people can look no further than Norman, Okla. At the University of Oklahoma, head coach Mark Williams has led the Sooners to two NCAA Titles and two runner-up finishes in the last four seasons. Not since 1979-1982 has a team produced a finish of second place or higher in four consecutive seasons.

Williams was named head coach of the program in 2000 and has positioned the program as a legitimate national contender every year with an overall mark of 117-11 in five seasons. In the last four years, OU has recorded impressive numbers, including 43 All-America honors, in addition to producing the nation’s top gymnast in 2003, Daniel Furney (Nissen Award). In the next four years and beyond, Williams will look to guide his teams to even better results.

“What we have accomplished as a program in four years is unprecedented,” said Williams. “I knew when I was hired that this was my dream job and each year I look forward to building upon Oklahoma’s tradition of gymnastic’s excellence.”

Last season the Sooners were 1.5 points shy of becoming the first team in over 20 years to win three consecutive NCAA titles.
