Just putting this here to get us pumped up (7 weeks away)

Don’t get me wrong, I love football season. But basketball can’t get here soon enough.

Ditto. When I meet people and they learn I am an OU fan, I always tell them I am one of the rare OU fans who likes/case about the basketball team even more than the football team -- and that was even back when we had a great football team.

All you have to do is go to a single football game for either to know that will never happen.

OU's campus this past Saturday was a thing of beauty. I've been a football season ticket holder since 1999. Been to pretty much every big game in Norman over that time frame. I've never seen the campus like it was on Saturday. SO many people. So much electricity. It was awesome. OU basketball will never match that. I grew up probably more of an OU basketball fan than football, but once I started going to games, and Kelvin left (lol), football season is where its at.

Also got back into OU baseball some this year.

I agree with this. Not many things match the atmosphere here when the football team is playing good. It's much bigger than an OU thing. The entire state, and even many outside the state, get super excited. The atmosphere on Saturday reminded me of being a student in the 80s when Barry's teams generated that kind of atmosphere weekly... Bama has experienced some success in basketball lately, but it doesn't come close to matching the excitement their football team generates. That level of fandom doesn't die easily.
