I was at that game. I went over and talked to Pete at some point during the game. Didn't get an autograph. I was shocked when he passed away the next week. My cousin got married in Baton Rouge the following year. I was in the wedding party. A bunch of us played basketball on a playground which...

We also played Illinois State in the All-College in 1987-88. The four-team tournament was set up for us to play Iowa in the final, but Illinois State beat Iowa and played us in the final. We steamrolled them.

All cynicism aside (and I'm good at cynicism): what if he does choose OU over OSU? That would be pretty cool. As much as we criticize the program (sometimes rightfully), we're in a better place than the Aggies. If we decide we want to pay him, all bets are off.

He is? I did not know that.

Seems like Brandon Roy Sr. was just playing for Washington.

Hakeem's old enough to have grandchildren playing now. His daughter played for OU in the late 2000's. She's 36 now and an assistant coach in the WNBA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abi_Olajuwon

1) I think I'd rather play Arizona State than Grand Canyon in this event. Say what you want about their weak conference, but they're dangerous. 2) With both us and OSU going out there this year, I wonder if there's a return event the following year with ASU/GCU playing OU/OSU in either OKC or...

I hope so. Surely they're not going to Spokane for a one and done. Perhaps we'll play OSU in Tulsa and Gonzaga in OKC the next year, or vice versa. And I guess this game counts as a neutral site game for NET purposes.

I don't know if the Sioux Falls people are paying us to go there. They like to bring in big name teams to play in that building. It's small, but they're proud of it. Lots of credit card and hospital money in Sioux Falls. I agree, though: if we're going to play Nebraska in front of a hostile...

Yep. You're buying games in the top half of low-major conferences instead of the bottom. Or, you're buying a game from a basement team in a better conference like the Missouri Valley.

This. If you're going to buy wins, buy them from the 150-250 range instead of the 250+ range. They'll help your NET rankings when the time comes. I know we've lost to teams like Sam Houston in the Porter era...there's no excuse for that. But we should be able to win these games without much...

It's probably not feasible to play them home and home, though a road game against a power conference team would help both of our NET ratings. I'm glad we still play them. It's even better when we whip them. I guess this is technically OSU's home game. Last season, we were the "home" team, wore...

I wonder how much $ Trae is putting in? Whatever it is, it is much appreciated.

Thank you to our anonymous(?) donors who are putting together the big NIL bags.

He already is. I'm excited about the QB and RB we have coming in. Ott, the RB from Cal, is a Nagy find. The guy is a scouting freak. He scouts players, negotiates contracts, deals with families, and frees up the coaches to coach. Great hire by OU.
