    I'm a John Marshall grad, too--class of '76.

    NBA- OU players and general (this thread only)

    "As the Lakers prepare for their lone scheduled decision of the NBA Draft — the No. 55 pick — fans should have realistic expectations for the kind of impact a player taken in the final gasps of the second round can have on a roster." Ironic to read that sentence in a story about Reaves.

    NBA- OU players and general (this thread only)

    I well remember a phone conversation I had with my dad the day of the game. He said, "Chances like this are rare. It could be many years before we're in another basketball title game." I knew he was speaking the truth, and here we are 37 years later without having made it to the championship...

    Fears & the NBA Draft Projections

    I've been waiting for a Sooner to become a Knick or a Net. The Mets are the only NYC team I have a rooting interest in. I'd like to see Fears playing here.

    Phew! That was close! For a second there, I was afraid we might actually play a quality non-con team at LNC.

    2025-26 schedule information

    We lose some of those away games and the metrics boost disappears. We win those games and we'd be in fine shape, even if every one of them was played in Norman (which, again, I'm not stumping for). I'm fine with games in OKC and Tulsa; those are played in front of OU fans. "Neutral" games in...

    2025-26 schedule information

    The portal success this time around has gotten plenty of coverage. And why is it better to play good teams on the road (or at not-so-neutral sites) than in front of 4,000 at home? I'm not talking about playing no away games, but to have all the stronger games away from Norman makes no sense. If...

    As I said, we have more talent coming in than we've had in years. If not this season, when? Do we give up on our home fans in perpetuity or do we have specific length in mind for this punishment?

    2025-26 schedule information

    Moser's gotten plenty of pub and credit for the portal performance this season, including from just about everyone on this board (me among them). If ever there was a good time to schedule a couple of decent home games, it's now--when the program's getting a little attention and there's a bit of...

    Be nice to see another decent home game or two. Not that I'll likely be able to attend but sheesh, has PM given up entirely on the home fans?

    The point for whom? As others have said, if we're going to play NU in their backyard (relatively speaking), why not play at their arena, where we'd get credit for a road win?

    2025-26 schedule information

    I don't think anyone's suggesting a schedule that would lead to that kind of record. I don't know why this point is so hard for some to grasp--it's been repeated ad nauseam: The idea is not that we play a bunch of top 50 teams. It's that instead playing teams in the 300s, we play teams from...

    Except we keep playing teams there that are from schools much closer to that arena than OU is. It was a Minnesota-heavy crowd, and I expect it'll be a Nebraska crowd too.

    Transfer Portal 2025

    Because I think =/- is one of the silliest stats in sports. I've stated that opinion before--more than once--and though it may not seem like it, I do try not to repeat myself in these discussions. I avoid the thread devoted to that stat altogether. It's funny how points, rebounds, steals...
