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?

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.

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...

And yet, somehow their per-minute stats are remarkably even, with Wague fouling 42% more than Godwin.

"Maybe" is the key there. The notion that he was showing out in practice but PM was "obsessed" with Sam is a reach. And if he wasn't showing out in practice (and he certainly wasn't in games until the home stretch), then it's just the typical "our best player is on the bench" stuff that fans...

They're included in the stats I gave you and are the only reason the comparison was that close. It often happens that a player plays over his head when he is called upon to step in for an injured player. I hope we get that Wague next season; that would be great. But you (and others) are (and...

I'm not sure PM is the one who's obsessed. Here are the per-minute stats for Godwin and Wague: Godwin .28 rpm, .35 ppm, .14 fpm, .03 bpm Wague .27 rpm, .34 ppm, .20 fpm, .03 bpm It's basically dead even, except for fouls. Wague's per-minute foul rate would have amounted to a total of 115...

Great news!

I'm not suggesting it will.

I acknowledged that many people thought it could/would go in this direction--that's exactly why many didn't like it from the jump. They feared that exactly what has happened would happen. It wasn't players getting to sell t-shirts or do ads for local businesses that anyone objected to--it was...

You might not like how I use my brain, but I can assure you that I have one and it has, for the most part, served me quite well. I think many people at the beginning thought it could spin out of control, which it most certainly has, but it didn't have to. There was nothing at the beginning...

If so, then it was misrepresented. It was not presented to the public as pay-for-play. I mean, it's right in the freaking name--Name-Image-Likeness.

I liked seeing JF in an OU t-shirt. Good also to hear him give TY a shoutout as a favorite player. I'm hopefully that Jeremiah will be a loud-and-proud former Sooner going forward.

Miles could have been a key contributor off the bench and gotten his share of minutes. It'll be interesting to see if he starts at A&M or ends up playing the same role there that he could have played for OU.
