Holst looks like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo in the face.

Hey, we agree on something. I think he is pretty overrated myself. Not saying he is a bad player, but I think OU can find a similar talent with a higher ceiling and maybe less baggage.

Please stop with the hyperbole. LNC may be old. It may be ugly. You may not like the seating arrangement. But it is NOT a crumbling mess. That is a silly comment.

I just want some balance. Going from no tough road games to a bunch (some of those neutral site games for the upcoming season are really road games). Not doing anything about the biggest problem of playing teams at the very bottom instead of upgrading some of those to top 200 type teams (I'm...

It's a lot easier to identify assistant coaches in basketball that can have success, vs football coordinators. The transition is a lot easier on the bball side.

So wait, did you just say Kelvin hasn’t retired bc he doesn’t think Kellen would succeed with him? That’s ridiculous and honestly, pretty stupid. Kelvin hasn’t retired bc he still enjoys coaching, is still physically and mentally able to do the job, and gets to do it while being around his...

Complete unknown? I really don't get this line of thinking. Was Bob Stoops not a complete unknown as a HC? How about Barry Switzer? Several years ago Kelvin said that Kellen "lead" a lot of parts of the basketball program. I think he said that he ran some of the practices, and I know he...

How will having twice as many period ends and beginnings fix that?

Are you saying OU baseball spent $500k total? Because I know some of the pitchers and Carmichael got more than that. Way more than that, combined.

Continuity. I don't like having 4 "end of periods". I think it's lame. I also like the way the fouls/bonus situation is in college ball. Changing to quarters and an NBA model is going to change the way the college game is played. I'm not for that.

Don't like quarters. As boulder said, why change something for little/no improvement when it's something that makes the game/sport unique.

And for those of you that like to say "gotta play tough OOC schedule to get the team ready", please tell me how playing teams that would struggle to beat some good HS teams is helping our team? If we can't beat a team ranked around 200 as easily as we can beat a team ranked around 315, we have...

lol, that is NOT what you have said. You literally agreed with my comment that colston is disagreeing with, as recently as last week. Nobody is saying play NO tough games. We played tough games last year. Three of them, right? I'm fine with that. My point is that I'd rather keep that...

We've had this conversation over and over and over and over. It's been proven that playing teams from the bottom 50, or 75, or 100 kills SOS. Simply moving some of those games out of that bottom tier, an into the 200's (which still should be gimmes), HAS BEEN SHOWN to have a positive effect on...

Yep, that was my bigger concern than how many tough games we played or where we played them. I'm NOT in favor of increasing the difficulty at the top of the OOC schedule, while continuing to play teams at the very bottom. What I really wanted to do was bring the floor up rather than raise the...
