Buddy is a cool name. Has OU ever had a "Buddy"?

Once again an aggie comes forward with the kind of wisecrack that would get a Sooner fan promptly banned from an aggie board. They can dish it out, but can't take it.
On the Buddy tip:
Paul "Buddy" Burris, G - 1946, 1947, 1948
Paul "Buddy" Burris became the first Sooner to earn All-America honors three times, including being named a consensus All-American in 1948. He said after his career was over that he should have been playing as a linebacker, but his play as both an offensive and defensive guard helped bring about an OU dynasty during the '50s.
Burris started a similar dynasty as four of his brothers would follow him into Norman to play for the Sooners. It's probably the largest family from one generation ever to play for Oklahoma.
He was drafted in the ninth round by Brooklyn in 1949. Burris was also the first player from OU to be inducted into the Helms Athletic Foundation Football Hall of Fame.
Buddy Jones, S - 1950
Buddy Jones earned All-America honors in 1950. A 5-10, 155-pound safety, Jones played well above his size throughout his career.
His outstanding play during both the 1949 and '50 Sugar Bowls were key factors in the Sooner wins.
Oklahoma's secondary was passed on more times (290) than any other team in the nation during the 1949 season. Jones' ability was one of the major reasons OU gave up only five touchdown passes during that season.
Jones also saw time at halfback during the 1947 season, where he averaged nearly eight yards a carry.
There have been no players named Buddy in the hoops program that I'm aware of.

Luckily, we have a sense of humor and don't ban people for making jokes.

Especially when the joke is actually funny.

Oh, I agree. But it's worth the trouble to occasionally remind the many aggies who congregate here of the distinct differences between their boards and ours.

When I was at OU, lived in Buddy Burris' garage apartment for a summer. I know that this is a basketball board, but he had some pretty cool stories that I wish I would have paid more attention to at the time [stupid youth, you miss on opportunities like that].
