Allen to Leave Team, Focus on Family

I thought we were told the other day that he was GOING to transfer but decided to stick it out and remain a Sooner?

Good luck to him and his future endeavors.

Kid is a class act. Got hardly any playing time last year even though he could have helped, but was always the head cheerleader from the bench. He could've sulked or grown disinterested, but he didn't. That's a major credit to his character.

Excellent point. I always wished that the pouting guys would stop and take a look at this young man's demeanor during games. Always supportive and positive. Best of luck to a fine young man.......
 
I consider every Sooner athlete who completes a degree while here to be a rousing success. Congrats, Orlando!

If this is the case, something in recruiting must have happened that meant Jeff needed 1 more scholarship.

Any chances hes found a European version of Wayman Tisdale, Alvan Adams, Stacey King or Blake Griffin?

I'd also take a European or Asian version of Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Walton, Lew Alcindor, Karl Malone, David Robinson, Shaq O'Neal, etc. That's not asking too much is it? ;)
 
Pay attention. Another press release with nothing but positive statements from a former player and coach Capel.

You do realize that the athletic department writes these quotes. At most, Capel just takes a brief look at it and gives a quick verbal approval. PR does not equal journalism.
 
"Good decision for Big O. Thanks for being a Sooner and God bless."

Someone just posted yesterday or the day before; Allen would be leaving and we will sign 3 jucos.
 
Great to hear he'll be graduating.

I hope he sticks around Oklahoma and raises a couple of 7 footers.

They may make suggestions, but when I am quoted in press releases I write the quotes, as do most people in charge of things. And I would wager Capel wrote the quote and said what he meant. Just like he did when Willie left. Of course it blows the theory of him being deep under cover so people want to discount it.
 
This is funny, no where near the truth lol but funny. I'm sure SoonerQuick knows what i'm talking about.

I'm a professional PR writer, so if you do that, I'm jealous. I wish my CEO wrote his own quotes.

Porter Novelli will make suggestions but I almost always ignore them and write my own. Maybe your just really good. :)
 
Everytime I see this thread, I think Big O is going to work for Dr. James Dobson.
