Big day for Big XII Basketball

[BigTime]

Also big brother has many more wins head to head with little brother. And crushed little brothers dreams when you "bottled" the crowd from old gih

Ahhh the old GIA spirit cup.

Eddie thought it was a "spirits cup" and supposedly filled it with well-whiskey after the loss and then sipped in sorrow. I also heard that Ratboy used it to take his daily "meds" years later...

In basketball it is KU.

I don't agree with that.

The KU game is always big, b/c KU is always good. But OSU is our main rivalry game in hoops. Those games generate the same kind of intensity that OU/UT does in football.

OSU is not our chief rival. OU's chief rival in football is Texas. In basketball it is KU.

I wish our rival was Kansas in basketball but even the biggest OU homer can't make that claim. We are nowhere near Kansas in basketball so tough to call it a rivalry.

OSU is our biggest rival in basketball.

OSU is our biggest rival in basketball.

while I agree that osu is our biggest bball rival, I don't agree with the reasoning. A team doesn't have to be on the same level of success to be a rival

Thought the contract kinda sucked because the OU-A&M game was on ESPNU I think ,Already pay 100 plus dollars for cox cable, so why should I step up and get ESPNU
I watched the Tulsa TCU game just because it was on, I'd much rather would have watched my own team

so you don't really like sports .

I agree KU is one of our rivals and is always the top dog we and the rest of the Big 12 want to knock off, making them comparable to OU in football. All I am saying in this thread is that I do not root for OSU or Texas in basketball or football...EVER. These are the teams that we are most comparable to in terms of success (only in basketball for OSU, although they have become more competitive in football) and the teams we compete for recruits for. We don't beat Kansas on the court or in recruiting that often, so whether they win or lose a non-con game has less bearing on our program.
