Faithful, you're true to your username, I'll give you that. There are plenty of "facts" to suggest that our basketball program is in one heck of a mess, and it was all under Coach Capel's watch. That, too, is a fact. I don't blame him for everything. But he's the one being paid the big bucks to oversee the activities of his players and staff, on and off the court, and he clearly failed to do that.
If anyone has a right to be disappointed about the events of the past few weeks, it's BigTime. If you only knew how much time he has devoted to promoting OU men's basketball the past three years, not to mention his own money, you would be more understanding about why he is so upset. Ask some of the Capables, they'll tell you. Frankly, he has been remarkably calm under the circumstances. You'd better believe that I wouldn't be calm if I was in his shoes. My contribution of time was a drop in the bucket compared to BT, and I'm so angry I could bite the heads off of ten penny nails. Anyway you slice it, my friend, this is an absolute disaster!
Sorry if what I've said seems out of character for my usual sunny disposition and positive attitude. I simply do not find a whole heck of a lot to be happy about at the moment.
