Two nights ago I watched in horror as 6500 Sooner fans sat on their collective hands and the rest dressed as empty seats and saw OU lose a home game it had no business losing. The crowd sucked. No other way to look at it, that's pathetic. Any and all home court advantage was wasted.
Yesterday I get a call from my Poke friend (the one who had to buy me dinner at Mahogany for running his mouth off about how grand his football program was going to be in '05, but I digress) who said he had an extra ticket to the Sheep Humpers vs. the Cult. My woman had a girlfriend in town so I figure, why not?
Now keep in mind this is a very young (they started 3 freshman and had 4 - 5 on the court at times) Cowboy team that entered the season unranked. Expectations weren't all that high, not so high as say a squad that was preseason top 5 in most polls. Oklahoma State fans don't care. They roll out and support their team. Yes they're sheep humpers, yes they have delusions of granduer about the status of their football program, yes they're just aggies, but they're better basketball fans than we are.
We (myself included as I don't attend as many games as I should) the Sooner Nation are failing this basketball team right now. It's our job as fans to pick up a team when they struggle, it's our job as fans to get behind them and cheer for them no matter what.
OSU basketball fans get it. OU basketball fans don't get it.
