Last night is the first time that I have watched the Sooners from wire to wire. The one thing that stands out more than any other is that they simply need to play much harder. In spurts last night they looked like they could be a formidable team at some point in the future esp after the backboard fiasco.
I really think the attitude of this young team is a reflection of WW. The man is ultra talented and if he put a tenth of the heart in the game as a Najera or Price we are talking number one player out of college. If WW does not improve between the ears them I would say the best thing to happen to this group of youngsters is for him to go to the NBA.
The sad thing is that this reminds me of the Sean era at OSU. He had some super talented plyers but they would not play with intensity for him. I am not comparing Capel and Sean at this point but gee it makes you wonder.
After all that rant the Boomers could show up the next game and look like a top 20 team with a little effort because they do have some serious talent.
One last thing is that you can never underestimate youth. A year from now these guys may make me eat my words about the Capel/Sean comparison. I hope they do because this was much more fun when we had Eddie vs Kelvin because you knew thos teams would bring it every night.
