I've been a Sonics fan since I was a little kid. When the Blazers drafted Oden I danced across the room. That dude looked to be 45 in driver's ed.
Of course I didn't realize just how nefarious the dealings had become behind closed doors. A little part of me dies every time my wife goes to...
I readily admit that I don't know the intricacies of scouting for NBA talent. There are red flags galore surrounding Peterson if you care to look. I feel like there are 2-3 guards like him coming out every year. It's what's the between the ears that separates the dudes at that level.
On the...
1. This is from memory. The guy who told me this story passed away two years ago. The Sooners were heading to Hawaii for the Diamondhead Classic (something like that. Same tournament we won Buddy's senior year) and had a layover at LAX. Big Time wanders off and then falls asleep somewhere in...
M'Baye got T'd up for giving the horns down and a 22-point lead with five minutes to go was cut in half in less than a minute. One of their guards hit a circus shot off the glass at the horn to send the game to OT and then we got boatraced. It was an absolutely biblical collapse, and I never...
Hey, Krusty! Can't wait to read your in-depth study on the festering turd of a season our hoopsters are putting on the floor. You've always been one to really crunch the data.
Because a ****-ton of our fans have absolutely zero ties to the University of Oklahoma. If you dropped 95% of our base at the Target in UNP without a phone they'd have one hell of a time finding Owen Field.
I think it's a microcosm of the ills that plague the program that we're sitting here debating the merits of minutes for Kuol Atak. Serious basketball teams aren't wasting time developing a player like this. These are the situations that come up when you recruit guys from "Parts Unknown". Go...
Absolutely not. We're one year deeper into the hole because Fears fell into our lap. Last year's team with Jalon Moore "leading" the way would've dropped the 4-14 turd into the punch bowl and we'd be on to the next thing. Instead we missed out on a solid batch of coaches just so we could...
I'll lead the Committee to bring Schertz here if Cream Abdul-Jabbar can tag along. I'm sure we can drum up another year of eligibility for him somehow.
I believe Boulder mentioned earlier this month that we're down to about 4,000 season ticket holders......of which I am one. That's a far cry from the fun times. But at a secondary sport the willy-nilly fans can only take so many haymakers to the genitals before they find better things to do...
Optics would've been much better for the season as a whole if we'd finish the job against the Tide. No shame in losing in Pasadena to the Cignetti juggernaut, but blowing a 17-0 lead at home took most of the piss out of our momentum. Such is life.
