Nevermind, we're on the way DOWN. I forgot.
You mean the unranked Michigan State that lost in the first round or the Illinois that lost in the second? First and second round losses are evidently unacceptable around here.Originally Posted by okienole3
Seriously, I didn't completely miss your point. Both of those schools probably have better programs than we do. But don't miss my point either. Even very good programs have "down" years. We're only 3 years out from a Final Four. And while those 3 years have been disappointing - and we're definitely itching for something better - I just don't think it time for a change ..... yet. Unless, of course, he's unhappy. Unhappy = un-motivated = no success.
So you're saying our program is on footing equivalent to our position following the 2003 season?Originally Posted by Stoop Dawg
I'm saying that my vision extends beyond 3-5 years.Originally Posted by Sooner04
I'm also saying that given our position at the end of the 2003 season, it would have been difficult to sustain - let alone "grow".
I'm curious, do you have a coach in mind that's going to win a NC at OU every 3 years? If you do, I'm all for tossing Kelvin out on his *** and hiring him.

She's better looking too...but that doesn't change her record.Originally Posted by Sooner24
BAH! Fine.Originally Posted by Sooner04
Although getting Wazzu to the dance should probably be miraculous enough to wipe out the loss that ensued.
I'm looking at 12 years.Originally Posted by Stoop Dawg

How bout a coach who wins more than 1/2 of a regular season conference crown every 12 years? Is that really too much to ask for?
Is our football program on the way down?Originally Posted by Sooner04

Again, if that was all Sampson had achieved during his time here, I'd've been calling for someone else long ago.Originally Posted by Cam
We each have our opinion. We'll just continue to agree to disagree.Originally Posted by TopDawg
Not until it hits 100 Turk.Originally Posted by Newbomb Turk
Saying that we ("Kelvin Bashers") expect a NC every three years is a total exagerration and you know it. I don't think it is too much to expect a team to get past the first weekend of the tournament maybe one out of three years after going to the Final 4 and Elite Eight the previous two seasons. Moreover, it would be nice to have more than one member of the recruiting classes parlayed off those seasons to stay for all four years, hell to stay more than two years.
one more closer to 100!Originally Posted by CtheB

Just noticed that.
98!
So, what you are saying is, if Oklahoma under Kelvin Sampson survives the horrific event called the Subregional, it is the exception rather than the norm?Originally Posted by okienole3
99!
A Final Four 3 years ago is obviously not good enough. What is?Originally Posted by Cam
