NCAA Game 2 - Sooners vs Dayton Flyers

[Soonerjeepman]

I go way back on the forums. Not this particular one, but I know a lot of people/names just from the years. There's only so many of us, ya know. Names I remember, GaryMac, sybil, Carey, OzarkSooner (one of my all-time favorite people - we used to do the game day play-by-play for folks in the old ST chat software. R.I.P., my friend), EnidSooner, CrintA.Adams, ArmySooner, SportsLetter (another of my all-time fave guys), joesooner, man... lot of 'em

I started on geez, one of the original Weather Dudes forums. Wish I remembered names from there... but other than GaryMac and sybil... I don't know who else came from there, but it was a long time ago and a lot of forums. I know it was after an initial split of the original forum. I went with the larger group. Then Carey's BoomerSooner.net from pretty much beginning to end. Then SoonerTimes, where I was most years, until a certain someone bought it... then started letting in the real bad haters. The kind I imagine are on this LandThieves (is it really a forum... I should just Google). I think they might have actually been dudes kicked off here.

Well, management decided it didn't like me much anymore and I was sent packing... to end up here.

Sounds like a last resort. LOL! No, I actually enjoy this forum. There's some cliques, but I think everything is mostly in good fun and the real haters are pointed out real fast. Leads to little confusion. Seems the forum does a good job of policing itself and that's actually pretty refreshing to see people given enough rope, to prove they can keep it in check, for the most part.

I was probably there...not sure if I was SoonerinKC ...I remember chatting with Stephen Alexander's dad and brother...was it that board?

I'm really impressed that a game thread went 12 pages.

It is impressive that the thread went 12 pages. Maybe we are becoming a legitimate basketball school again. It is good to see students getting excited and it will get better next year. We beat Dayton with defense and I am delighted to make the Sweet Sixteen. It will take a better effort to beat the Spartans, but in the East Region we have a chance to make the Final Four!

thanks to about 10 of us~ lol.

Yes, I know your moniker... and yeah, that was when/where Stephen's dad used to post. Heck, we used to get a quite a few parents. Even during the Blake years, but especially right after Stoops came on board.

I believe one of Brandon Everage's (R.I.P.) relatives used to post... cobwebs. Lot of cobwebs.

I remember when Smellsofbourbon, was first coined (don't remember who... probably many), everyone trying to justify Blake, because Barry had recommended him... those painful years. I think I found the first forum I started posting, right when it was obvious the Smells experiment was a grand failure and we knew he was gone. I looked for forums, to talk about the next hire and a place to vent.

And this thread was hopping, because I was posting... and I don't hardly ever shut up.

Oh, I have always been SoCalBigRed (people shorten it to SCBR a lot), on every forum. There is only one. Me.

I actually met up with the Alexander's at the KU game. They even introduced me to Owens...good folks. HWP I believe?
