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...

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?

How many Sooner shirts can one fan wear?

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?

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!
