Oklahoma 3.2 vs Milwaukee's Beast - Game Thread

[sooneron]

Another long and boring Time out! Thanks Kelvin!!

[OUthunder]

Have we shot more free throws than our opponent all year?

[PrideTrombone]

That was probably our best inbounds pass all year.

[King Crimson]

great inbounds play. looked like last year,

[sooneron]

1 point game!

[Soonerborn03]

I wish Taj would try kicking it out more often rather than force up the shot because he's got the ball

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

fouls 7-9, why do we hate thee?
we have to hit the first, to get the freebie
alas for us, when the refs make the call
for, one and ones, we miss them all

[Okieflyer]

Update please! :D

[GrapevineSooner]

45-41, other guys.

[Sooner in Tampa]

47-41 Them

12:34

[Okieflyer]

45-41, other guys.

Figures

[GrapevineSooner]

I think we got away with a goaltend there.

[oumartin]

down by 6 with 12 to go

[snp]

GO SHOCKERS!!!!
I figure if they have a 15 pt lead with< 10 mins, I'll get the switch.

I'm in Houston and I'm stuck with this stupid game. But luckily I'm next in line at CBSsportsline MMOD. We'll see how that goes.

[King Crimson]

****.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

dumb, dumb basketball team

[Soonerborn03]

Jeez.....the fans are getting into it now, and not on our side. Kinda figures. Things aren't looking so hot at the moment

[oumartin]

down by 8 now.
more turnovers than points. typical meltdown

[GrapevineSooner]

You know as talented as Taj is...

I'll be glad when his eligilbility is used up.

[OUthunder]

Game over!

[sooneron]

I'm in Houston and I'm stuck with this stupid game. But luckily I'm next in line at CBSsportsline MMOD. We'll see how that goes.
I got in, but the video wasn't working for me for some reason. Figures!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

luckily, i haven't got OU winning this game in any of my brackets.

[CtheB]

get a shot off this time guys.

[OUTromBoNado]

this f***** sux.

[hokie19]

Cue the hot 3 point shooter for the other team...

[IronSooner]

For a while I thought the fouls might actually help us. Then we got smart and caught up to them. Hope we can find somebody to score here from outside 5 feet.

And stop turning the ****ing ball over.

[1stTimeCaller]

plenty of time left...

[CtheB]

i meant, a good shot.

[King Crimson]

dude took 3 steps.

[sooneron]

11 down? This does suck!

[MojoRisen]

That is it- it has to be our last drought and Kelvins last... time to take the game over boys...

[CtheB]

please hire this uwm coach...now.

[PrideTrombone]

And now we're in trouble.

[oumartin]

down by double digits.

you cannot run freakin' sets that take 30 seconds. you gotta put up some freakin' shots

[OUthunder]

Please CBS switch me to a team with a good HC, good game plan, and some players that want to win.

[Norman Sooner]

Im so sick of this bull**** half *** attempt to play...immma about to break something

[MikeInNorman]

Things are unravelling fast, with our own seniors pulling the string.

[OUTromBoNado]

This looks like K-State...every piece of crap shot that UW-M throws up goes in when 99.99999 (repeating of course) percent of the time it never falls.

[crawfish]

Dumb play gets us again.

At least the pain should be over soon.

[mOUse]

It's a little too late for benching Gray

[snp]

I got in, but the video wasn't working for me for some reason. Figures!

For some reason, I put my state as Oklahoma and my zip as my Houston zip and it said that it's on the local CBS affiliate. Retrying with a LA zip and state. Sigh.

Not sure if this team is worth all this trouble.

Edit: No and no. I'm sick of this team anyways. :(

[OUthunder]

I hope that my Shockers hold on.

[Soonerborn03]

More guards being beat of the dribble....more fouls to keep them from getting a lay up. If we want to get back in the game, it's got to start on the defensive end and giving up backdoor cuts for layups or sending them to the line isn't going to do us a hell of a lot of good


I know that's obvious, but damn it....why can't our guards stick with their man if they realize this

[CtheB]

I figured this team stopped playing for Sampson during the Texas blowout, but if they can't find it within themselves to play for each other, then let the season end.

[MojoRisen]

Those guys are just good basketball players - leave em open they should hit the shots- man it is not like they don't shoot every day for hte last 15 years.

We need BBALL players too- hit open shots- we used to make our entire team hit an open 3 in less than 45 seconds- in a line- if we missed- we ran...

[mOUse]

My patience has grown thin for Kelvin.
Just thinking out loud.

[TheBigRedMachine]

Taj is a black hole. Whenever he gets the ball it is going to be a shot.

[OUstud]

From Mexico, watching on cbs.sportsline.com...

Kan Kelvin!

[GrapevineSooner]

For some reason, I put my state as Oklahoma and my zip as my Houston zip and it said that it's on the local CBS affiliate. Retrying with a LA zip and state. Sigh.

Not sure if this team is worth all this trouble.

It's based on your IP address.

I'm logged in with my VIP account which has my Watauga zip code. But since the server the computer's Proxy Server is connected to is located in California, I get to watch the game.

[OUthunder]

Time for Spongebob.

[CtheB]

Taj is a black hole. Whenever he gets the ball it is going to be a shot.


Think of it this way, if you were broke, and someone gave you $100, you're probably not going to give it back to them.

[Okieflyer]

getting our butts whipped again.

[MikeInNorman]

Somebody told me that there was some dude named Michael Neal on OU's team, but I don't believe it.

[Soonerborn03]

WOOHOO!!!

3!!

Play some defense damn it!!

[jccouger]

This is a top 5 preseason team?

Wouldnt know it watching this game.

[NickZeppelin]

This defense just can't play. The worst I can remember since Tubbs was here.

[oumartin]

C'mon guys keep your heads up! theres still time.....
Lets go Sooners, Lets Go
Lets go Sooners, Lets Go.

[CtheB]

Nice D, book.

[mOUse]

we will be fortunate to pull this out of our arse!

[OUthunder]

This team has quit defensively.

[CtheB]

Kinda feels a lot like the 1989 Citrus Bowl.

[mOUse]

one of these teams is making thier free throws!

[OUthunder]

C'mon guys keep your heads up! theres still time.....
Lets go Sooners, Lets Go
Lets go Sooners, Lets Go.


:D

[Okieflyer]

oumartin you've gotten younger! ;)

[PrideTrombone]

This defense just can't play. The worst I can remember since Tubbs was here.

Difference being that Billy didn't much care as long as he scored 100, but Kelvin's teams are supposed to be predicated on defense.

[sooneron]

Kinda feels a lot like the 1989 Citrus Bowl.
ouch!:mack:

[mOUse]

One things for sure, tucker is getting his!

[oumartin]

This team needs our support.. Cheer loud at the TV screen!
GO SOONERS!!!!!!!

We can pull this out

[recemp]

"What time is the red eye to Oklahoma?"
Embarassed again...

[mOUse]

I wonder how far we would have gotten in the NIT?

[Ground_Attack]

is Taj still on the team? I haven't seen him in weeks.

[TheBigRedMachine]

It's over. **** this ****.

[OUthunder]

Thank goodness that Taj is a senior. Most overrated player in OU history.

[hokie19]

Seniors missing front ends in bad situations.

It's happened so many times you'd think it was on purpose.

[crawfish]

BLOWOUT!!!

Apologies to Kevin Bookout. You're a beast, and you deserved a better team than this. :mad:

[mOUse]

Do you think UW-M's coach is open to job offers? :)

[MikeInNorman]

I amazed that there are actually people who think Taj is going to be drafted.

[IronSooner]

This team needs our support.. Cheer loud at the TV screen!
GO SOONERS!!!!!!!

We can pull this out

Did I miss something here? :confused:

[MojoRisen]

they guy makes about 2 bills- he is open for 6 bills

[Soonerus]

fricken underachievers...

[mOUse]

Hoplessness, dispair, frustration...oh the humanity of it all!!!

[TheBigRedMachine]

It was tied 41-41 and we had 2 chances to take the lead. We turned it over both times. They proceed to go on a 19-5 run. Game.

[MikeInNorman]

Thank goodness that Taj is a senior. Most overrated player in OU history.

Second most. Angelo Hamilton retired that trophy.

[OUthunder]

I amazed that there are actually people who think Taj is going to be drafted.



The military maybe but don't let him hold a loaded rifle.

[1stTimeCaller]

was that Taj's third offensive foul?

[TripleOption14]

And thats the ball game folks!!! If you didn't see this comin you were just being naive about this team! Like some of us said a LONGGGG time ago....Average at best.

Well what does the Spring Football schedule look like this year? When do they open to the public?

[IronSooner]

is Taj still on the team? I haven't seen him in weeks.


He's the guy they throw the ball to inside just before it gets turned over. As opposed to the guy who runs insidse and turns it over.

[mOUse]

Dont get me wrong, I am yelling at my TV!

[sooneron]

Well, at least we won't be the first team out of the tourney.

[Okieflyer]

is Taj still on the team? I haven't seen him in weeks.

Man, you got that right.:(

[MojoRisen]

We should go zone- and just see what happens.

[MikeInNorman]

It was tied 41-41 and we had 2 chances to take the lead. We turned it over both times. They proceed to go on a 19-5 run. Game.

Even worse, we had THREE chances to take the lead, and turned it over 3 times in a row.

Miracle comeback time.

[Mjcpr]

Hoplessness, dispair, frustration...oh the humanity of it all!!!

Doooooooom, despaaaaaair and agony on me......

[cwood60]

now i know why I stick with watching just football. Every year there's all this hype for Bball and it sinks at the end of the season.

[Howzit]

This thread was titled appropriately.

[OUstud]

Phuck this spit!

[oumartin]

you guys freakin' make me sick.
Who's gonna be there to greet the charter home so we can show them our support for another 20 win year?

[OUthunder]

Isn't Taj in Las Vegas?

[Ground_Attack]

i wouldn't even let Taj draft in my fantasy league...much less get drafted.

[GrapevineSooner]

TE with the three point play.

Down to 11.

[Soonerborn03]

This board is getting pretty slow. Has the meltdown begun already?

[SoonerBBall]

My patience has grown thin for Kelvin.
Just thinking out loud.

F*cking seriously.

My patience with Taj traveling under the basket whenever he gets the ball has grown thin.

My patience with Terrell palming the ball 2 to 3 times a game has grown thin.

My patience with Taj dribbling the ball too much, head-faking too much, and not kicking the ball out when he should has grown thin.

My patience with Terrell leaving his feet without knowing what he wants to do has grown thin.

My patience with Terrell taking really bad shots early in the shot-clock has grown thin.

My patience with Taj and Terrell committing entirely too many mental mistakes has grown thin.

My patience with our senior leader leaders not coming to play has grown thin.

My patience with this entire team's attitude (excluding Griffin, Neal, and Longar) has grown thin.

Just thinking out loud there.

[boomersooner28]

WOOHOO!! My bracket is still in tact! :mad:

[Ground_Attack]

This thread was titled appropriately.

3.2 is how many ppg Taj is averaging lately.

[Okieflyer]

What is this a foulfest? :mad:

[Norm In Norman]

CBS shows that there is over 6 minutes left. I guess they are behind. What was the final score?

[GrapevineSooner]

Dumb play, Nate.

[mOUse]

I am refreshed by Everett though! Great effort, along with Book!
Keeping it from blow out proportions.

[PrideTrombone]

F*cking seriously.

Whose job is it to teach them these fundamentals of basketball? If Kelvin can't get through to these guys then he'd better either recruit guys he CAN get through to or go somewhere else.

[MikeInNorman]

Hey, at least we cracked that elusive 50-point mark.

[Ground_Attack]

the only shot Gray can make is a Dunk.

We will be a better team next year even with the losses. Mark it down.

[Okieflyer]

Here's the comeback guys!

[CU Sooner]

This is the most underachieving team Kelvin has had, all kinds of talent but no desire, no intensity and no defense. I haven't felt this bad about basketball since Billy's last year. We are soft, end of story. We better find some guards who can handle the ball and play a little defense next year or we will have another disappointing year.

[OUthunder]

BULL****ING**** REF!!!

[CtheB]

Notice how UWM isn't calling off the dogs with a big lead?

[kelloggOUballa]

this officiating is pathetic!!

[1stTimeCaller]

how many offensive fouls do we have?

[Soonerborn03]

A little show of fire there for second. Where the hell did that come from all of a sudden?

[Ground_Attack]

have we ever practiced breaking a press?

[MojoRisen]

Sampson- and anyone who denies that - should friggin give up the goat.

[Stoop Dawg]

CBS shows that there is over 6 minutes left. I guess they are behind. What was the final score?

C'mon, Norm. Every REAL bball fan knows that a 9 point deficit with 5 minutes to play is impossible to overcome.

Who will be our next coach?

[sooneron]

Why are they still showing the Hall blowout, when they could be showing the OU one?

[mOUse]

could get it within 9! What is this desparation! this refusal to die and let me rest!

[MojoRisen]

Let's cut it too 6 here! Neil???

[Ground_Attack]

this OU performance is pathetic!!

fixed

[Okieflyer]

I guess Everett is tearing it up.

[BoonesFarmSooner]

I can't freaking believe I took a 1/2 day vacation to watch this crap!!!!

SERENITY NOW !!!!!

[oumartin]

I'm sure we've practiced that, I'm sure we've practiced all these things
ball handling, free throw shooting, zone offense, where to place an entry pass, which side to take away from the opponent when we are on offense, how to double team, how to beat a double team, reverse ball movement, and so on.

[Norm In Norman]

ok, evidently you guys don't know the definition of "the game is over". it appears that there is still some time on the clock. You guys had me thinking that ... the game was over.

[Okieflyer]

I can't freaking believe I took a 1/2 day vacation to watch this crap!!!!

SERENITY NOW !!!!!

Ha! I almost did, but changed my mind. Glad I did.

[boomersooner28]

** Thought I would throw some good reading in here for ya: **

Please do not post premium content from other sites here.

**Edited by Phil**

[CtheB]

Boys, it appears that UWM may be quitting a bit on the defensive end. It's not over yet....surprisingly.

[GrapevineSooner]

Down to 6

[ouflak]

Hmmm....

[OUthunder]

BULL****ING**** REF!!!



and again.

[PrideTrombone]

this officiating is pathetic!!

Actually, I think it's been called pretty well. Of course, I was using the OU-TT football game as a reference point.

[Okieflyer]

Taj Fouled out?

[Soonerborn03]

I'm really suprised with the amount of effort our guys are giving here late in the game. I was waiting for them to fold, but they're still fighting hard. I don't know if they have enough left in the tanks to come all the way back, but the fight they are showing is encouraging at least

[kelloggOUballa]

called well? when half our guys have 4 fouls when they have been just as physical? don't think so bro

[Okieflyer]

How much time left?

[OUthunder]

Agreed.

[PrideTrombone]

I'm really suprised with the amount of effort our guys are giving here late in the game. I was waiting for them to fold, but they're still fighting hard. I don't know if they have enough left in the tanks to come all the way back, but the fight they are showing is encouraging at least

Are you saying you like the team's resolve? :les:

[OUthunder]

They let them play on OU offensive side but not on UMW's side.

[Ground_Attack]

vintage idiotic foul by Taj lands him on the bench for the rest of his career.

[snp]

Where can I listen to this game?

I cannot freaking believe CBS hasn't switched outta this game. 17 point lead with 3 left.

[MojoRisen]

3 and change- plenty of time- no f ups now we have a shot...

[IronSooner]

3:38 to go

Taj fouled out with 13 pts. Shouldn't matter much.

62OU
70UWM

[mOUse]

Whose job is it to teach them these fundamentals of basketball? If Kelvin can't get through to these guys then he'd better either recruit guys he CAN get through to or go somewhere else.

Exactly.
Look at 2 things ...
Turnovers and Free Throws.
Almost like they are not important coming down the stretch of these last games. Maybe they are tired from their stingy defense. But, the D is lacking today, and just makes it worse.

I don't claim to know what is going on with the team, but it seems they were primed for top 10 status this year. Good twins down low, with a decent backup in Longar, Everet making things happen and throw in the mix Godbold. But things got worse not better down the stretch. I think its less the players in that kind of situation, more the coach.

[IronSooner]

**** I just looked down. Turnover again? Must be. We sure as hell didn't score. And now we fouled. ****.

[sooneron]

Crap! BC can't put away friggin pacific!

[MikeInNorman]

Classic Taj. Sort of epitomizes his career.

[OUTromBoNado]

LOL--San Deigo games = own3d.

[mOUse]

Where can I listen to this game?

I cannot freaking believe CBS hasn't switched outta this game. 17 point lead with 3 left.

[OKC-SLC]

http://www.reachingmore.com/kkgm.HTM

[OUthunder]

SHOCKERS!

[Ground_Attack]

called well? when half our guys have 4 fouls when they have been just as physical? don't think so bro

the problem is the amount of stupid fouls that we commit. not physical fouls but stupid stuff 25 feet from the hoop.

[MojoRisen]

3 for Goldbold- he stepped up today - down 6 230 left... this is it..... season is on the line- people should be diving flying around and playing as if it comes down to 2 minutes..

And it does...

[mOUse]

COme on Guys, make us haters eat crow!

[CtheB]

did we call timeout to let them burn clock and score?

[OKC-SLC]

did we call timeout to let them burn clock and score?
yes. absolutely.

[oumartin]

did we call timeout to let them burn clock and score

there is so much to that statement its not even funny!

[mOUse]

I thought in the NCAA tourney that the refs would let them play more, but they made sure that thier star player got something on every trip instead! Makes me sick!

[TripleOption14]

What about the O-line 28? What does Mr. Hale have to say about them?

[IronSooner]

I'm remembering why I've rarely watched more than the first 2 rounds of the tournament over the last decade.

More reasons to go to a different grad school than undergrad. Gives you one more shot at having someone to root for in March.

[OUthunder]

MY bracket is still perfect.

[PrideTrombone]

I'm remembering why I've rarely watched more than the first 2 rounds of the tournament over the last decade.

More reasons to go to a different grad school than undergrad. Gives you one more shot at having someone to root for in March.

But I was thinking about going to Georgia or Michigan. :(

[CtheB]

Once again, a team that wants uptempo beats a team that wants to slow it down.

[OKC-SLC]

i can't believe how many people accept mediocrity.

[CtheB]

Does anyone think KS realizes this may be his last game at OU? I sure do.

[sooneron]

LOL--San Deigo games = own3d.
http://www.cinemovies.fr/images/data/films/Pfilm2286879908782.jpg


San Diegown3d!

[yermom]

ugh...i want to break something

[oumartin]

man, the # of posts have certainly come to a screechin halt.

OU is becoming to first round opponents what K-State was in football in the 80's.
Everybodys homecoming game.

You see them in the first round and your eyes light up with anticipation. Its like a free pass to the second round.

[IronSooner]

Haha, they cut away. Nice. Way to get owned guys. Bookout, sorry man, I wish you could have gone out in a better way.

[tnraider1]

i can't believe how many people accept mediocrity.

You mean Kelvin??? ;)

[ouflak]

Well that's that.

[MikeInNorman]

Have we ever had a more one-dimensional offensive player that Michael Neal?

He absolutely can not get his own shot.

[OUstud]

We're going to be really good in football this year!

[sooneron]

When do the women play? They at least try.

[OKC-SLC]

i know we fouled a lot at the end of the game to exaggerate the free throw differential, but we shot 8 free throws.

Eight.

Don't tell me that the reason we get pwn3d at the FT line in EVERY SINGLE GAME is because of officiating. Smart teams know that games are won by attacking the basket and scoring points at the line.

[TopDaugIn2000]

Well that's that.

AS

EXPECTED

[CtheB]

Tick tock tick tock..Kelvin's got a ticking clock.

[sooneron]

i know we fouled a lot at the end of the game to exaggerate the free throw differential, but we shot 8 free throws.

Eight.

Don't tell me that the reason we get pwn3d at the FT line in EVERY SINGLE GAME is because of officiating. Smart teams know that games are won by attacking the basket and scoring points at the line.
It helps if you make your first FT when its one and one.

[mOUse]

Well, call me negative, but this is exactly what sampson has set a pattern for in the last few games of the season. 1 point wins against mediocre teams and bad loss against NU and wiped out by UT. I dont think its the players giving up. They played hard to the end! Grade A effort today!

[Harry Beanbag]

What's the over/under on turnovers for us in this game? 20?


Smart money was on the under. The official number was 19. :(

[MikeInNorman]

TE attacks the basket constantly. He just turns it over before they can foul him.

[NormanPride]

Our guards were pansies when it came to contact. Terrell was the only one that would drive all the way to the basket, and that wasn't very frequent. Absolutely no quickness there.

31 - 8. That's amazing. Same thing happened against NU.

WE SHOT 54% AND LOST. THAT IS NIGH-IMPOSSIBLE.

[MojoRisen]

Tied ball game BC pacific- talked about messing up the bracket...

[OKC-SLC]

KS got us in trouble with the NCAA.

KS has a very unimpressive record in the tournament.

KS ball is very uninspiring.

KS loses a lot of big-time players to transfer.

KS does not coach a game that encourages fan attendance.

Why is he still at OU? That's right, "he's the best we can get"; "he really is a top tier coach"; "he really has kids that try hard".

I hope Joe C. makes some changes.

[TopDaugIn2000]

When do the women play? They at least try.

Saturday at NOON (CST)
ESPN2

[Harry Beanbag]

Shot 53% from the field and still lost handily. That seems like it should be really hard to do with Sampson's system.

[MojoRisen]

I would have been really upset- if I still believed that this team had it in em.

Sorry the loss sooner fans- I believe we can do much better than Kelvin Sampson.... . I don't like to upset people but this is not fun...

[kc sooner]

I like Kelvin but seriously he has got to go. I'm sick of losing in the first or second round to lower seeds. You can't have 8 minute droughts in the tournament and we always do- it is so frustrating and pathetic to watch.

[OKC-SLC]

OU athetic dept. >> Kelvin Sampson.

I tire of this **** every season. Couple of good performances buried in a heap of mediocre ones. Some bad losses, occasionally an enexpected win. OCCASIONALLY. Boring basketball that just simply doesn't work on a national level.

I'm ready to move on. Quite honestly, OU can't do any worse on the national level than KS anymore.

[NormanPride]

Shot 53% from the field and still lost handily. That seems like it should be really hard to do with Sampson's system.

This team was like bizarro Sampson. Not as much hustle as normal, no tough fouls, no great 6th man rebounder, no great lockdown defender with limited scoring potential...

Next year will be completely different. How? Who knows. But with all the change in lineup, etc. it would have to be.

At this point, having fun at the games won't matter. I just want to beat who we're supposed to.

[sooneron]

I would have been really upset- if I still believed that this team had it in em.

Sorry the loss sooner fans- I believe we can do much better than Kelvin Sampson.... . I don't like to upset people but this is not fun...
Name a bigger name coach that is qualified that we can bring in....


I'm waiting

Not being a smart ***, I seriously want to hear.

[oumartin]

throw the big bucks at Calipari!

[Harry Beanbag]

Name a bigger name coach that is qualified that we can bring in....


I'm waiting

Not being a smart ***, I seriously want to hear.


I'm not advocating a coaching change, yet. But why does it have to be a big name?

[snp]

How about Glypsi (sp?) down at TAMU? He is competiting with Sampson and he has 1/5 of the talent.

[MojoRisen]

Name a bigger name coach that is qualified that we can bring in....


I'm waiting

Not being a smart ***, I seriously want to hear.


Sooner Ron- at this level of recruiting, you can not just have a fan throw out names- There are plenty of candidates I promise you this- Bigger name- isn't always the answer... They could be burnt out like Sampson.

I feel your fear that we won't do better than sampson.. I am telling you we can..

[TheBigRedMachine]

Try to bring Majerus out of retirement.

[sooneron]

I'm not advocating a coaching change, yet. But why does it have to be a big name?
OK, a little name. He said much better. KS is a name and on the national radar. By that logic the name would have to be bigger and qualified for a major D1 school.

[oumartin]

I'm sorta with Harry on this one..
If he wants to stay though he needs to change up his style a bit.
I'd have a sit down with him and tell him what the expectations are.

[okienole3]

We were awful this year. Where are the sunshine pumpers now?

[Grimey]

Mike Anderson from UAB

[sooneron]

Sooner Ron- at this level of recruiting, you can not just have a fan throw out names- There are plenty of candidates I promise you this- Bigger name- isn't always the answer... They could be burnt out like Sampson.

I feel your fear that we won't do better than sampson.. I am telling you we can..
First of all, get my name right. Secondly, I want to hear who you think we can get. Where did I say we can't do better than Sampson? I don't know who, but then again, I'm not calling for his ****-canning.

[kc sooner]

I would love Mike Anderson if we could get him.

[oumartin]

Dude, nobody wants to coach at a football school.

Scott Sutton is good at ORU. Would it be acceptable to the OU fanbase to pull him in?

That's just a hypothetical, as I still want Sampson her. **** he's frustrating, though.

[sooneron]

I really don't see a Sutton coming here.

[snp]

How about Barnes at UT?

Glypsi at A&M?

The Ohio State coach?

WVU seems to have a pretty decent coach as well. I don't buy your theorey that no one wants to coach at a football school. They'll coach where they can win and make money, and you can definately do that at OU.

[Harry Beanbag]

How about Barnes at UT?


No chance in hell.

[RiddlerOK]

Does anyone see the irony that one of his scollies went to his son, who is taking up residence on the bench? I don't have much hope for OU next year as they will have little to no inside game to complement Scottie Reynolds.

Barnes!!?? Uh, I think he has a good thing going there

ATM is in the tourney right now. I don't think CS would let him bail for here thateasily

Do you really want a dog with fleas from Columbus?

[Dances with Possums]

You guys just blew the hell out of one of my brackets.

[CtheB]

Name a bigger name coach that is qualified that we can bring in....


I'm waiting

Not being a smart ***, I seriously want to hear.

We don't need a bigger name, we need a different coach. Were you ticked when a DC from Florida, who really wasn't a name, got the job?

[sooneron]

You guys just blew the hell out of one of my brackets.
You were ****ing stupid to pick us that far!


even tho I did to the 16

You misunderstood what I'm saying there.

Martin said no one wants to coach at a football school. I just gave 4 examples. Also, Bob Knight at Tech. And whoever is coaching up at Wazzou is doing pretty good.

Good GOD, Did you NOT see that I let the bigger name part go??

Name someone that is going to leave where they are to come here.

He was naming off good coaches at 'football schools'. Not coaches that would come here.:rolleyes:

[Taxman71]

I don't know of a coach better than Sampson that OU can get. However, it would be nice if Sampson or his replacement would pretend that they were on our side every once in a while. KS never gets after the refs (which endures him to the fans), doesn't incite rivalries like OSU or Texas (which endures him to the fans) or play the us-against-the-world card (which endures him to the fans). In fact, most fans are stilled ****ed from him bitching us out for yelling "Texas Sucks" 10 years ago.

KS can flat-out coach, but his PR skills are horrid and he seemed to lose this team around January. He may very well be burt out and need a change.

Here's also something for you, Kelvin was not a bigger name than Tubbs when he was hired. In fact, Kelvin was a nobody with a lot of talent.

So now you're saying that atm is a football school??

bwahahahahahaha!!!

[oumartin]

no, u all misunderstood..
How many times have we heard we cannot sell out the LNC or cannot win the NC in basketball because we are a football school and to just be happy with what we have.

I'm not saying we cannot get a big name coach or the one we have cannot accomplish the above. He just has got to change stuff up.

Not to mention the fact that he continually puts our team down while he promotes our opponent. It may be tough love, but it also cost us an ingredient that could have made our season more successful.

How about creating a new precedent and letting Sheri Coale be the men's coach? By god, that team actually runs offensive sets and has point guard that pushes the ball.

Okay. Up until like last year Barnes was pretty much in Sampson's shadow. I know there are hornfans that a little nervous he's going to Indiana next year though.

Washington State? They were 11-17 this year. I wouldn't really call them a football school anyway.

You are such an incredible f***stick. Sure you haven't had any athletes ruled ineligible in the last 24 hours, jagoff?

[MojoRisen]

First of all, get my name right. Secondly, I want to hear who you think we can get. Where did I say we can't do better than Sampson? I don't know who, but then again, I'm not calling for his ****-canning.


Take your bracket- and think of every school that pays it coaches less than 500K a year- look at style of play and then decide.

I tell you what- I bet we could get the WV coach.

What is our budget- and I will come up with another list of 25 canidates to interview- I also think the Marquette coach would jump for some good cash.

You will shoot down everyone that gets thrown out- That coach today I like the up tempo - if you were a milwaukee fan- that would have been fun.

Cool.

I think he was referring to UDub, but doesn't know that their main rival is Wazzou.

Barnes swept us in 03, and has been recruiting very well. There is a lot more upside to that program then to ours.

And I meant Washington. They seem to be pretty good in past years.


So now you're saying that atm is a football school??

bwahahahahahaha!!!

Uhm, what would they be considered then? Sure as hell not a basketball school. I didn't say they were good, but they're definately football first.

Creen is going to Indiana I heard.

Running offensive sets = passing to Courtney Paris and standing around to either watch her score, or standing around waiting for the pass to come out of the quadruple team for an open 3. It isn't the offensive set, it's the recruiting of a perfect match of players. The men's team doesn't have that natural offensive chemistry.


Sure you haven't had any athletes ruled ineligible in the last 24 hours, jagoff?

Coming from a team getting investigated for recruiting violations, that's an odd choice of smack talk.


I thought in the NCAA tourney that the refs would let them play more, but they made sure that thier star player got something on every trip instead! Makes me sick!

It's not always about the cash. Some of these guys like being at smaller programs where they are the big men on campus.
I would venture to guess that the AD would be willing to shell out about 600K with incentives to a new guy with a proven track record. Less to someone that hasn't had any big exposure.

Not to mention the fact that he continually puts our team down while he promotes our opponent. It may be tough love, but it also cost us an ingredient that could have made our season more successful.

When people complain about the LNC not filling up, I always point to KS. His teams win (albeit ugly) and OU has great fans. However, KS just does not get the fans excited because he does not seem care about creating excitement or enduring the fans to him. All he wants to do is coach and win games (which he is very good at IMO). That is fine when you are winning important games (see Bob Stoops), but it is does not work when you underachieve every March (with two exceptions).

Think about it, KS has won more Big 12 games than any other coach, been to a Final 4, won the regular season championship, won the conference tournament 3 years in a row, yet is in afterthought of Big 12 coaches. He just does not create excitement. In fact, he stomps all over excitement by letting the fans scream at the refs while he folds his arms and acts like our players deserve bad calls for being stupid. Tough love should be in the practice gym, not in the games.

[oumartin]

Just a little something I saw today. maybe its nothing.
How many times after a UW-MIL basket did you see OU taking 5-10 seconds to set up an inbounds play against the full court press instead of yanking the ball outta the net and throwing it in before they could get set up.

Watch the women play and they yank the ball outta the net and bam. they are going the other way.

[MojoRisen]

Andy Kennedy- did well in his first year in the Big East- He is Young and has a proficiency to recruit.

They have possibly more upside in every program compared to OU just based on the state they're in. Of course their basketball program was pretty crappy for the first 100 years of its existence though.

Barnes has them humming right now, but that doesn't mean they can maintain it at a pretty consistently high level like OU's has for 25 years now.
