Capel needs to rip the refs new ones in the press conference

[SoonerBounce13]

From a layman's perspective, here is what I have seen the past couple of weeks:

-Tiny's effort and attitude appears to have improved. He still needs to get tougher, but he has shown some flashes of being a really good player.
-TMG appears to have hit the wall. I posted several weeks back when he was dropping 30 per game that I was worried about him running out of gas because he was playing so many minutes. Most people told me I was crazy and not to worry about it, because we've had lots of players play that many minutes. Well I wonder how many true freshmen we've had play that many minutes. My eyes right now tell me that I may have been at least a little bit right.
-Fitzgerald has shown some offensive game, but as we've discussed he has a lot of work to do in the conditioning department and also improving his athleticism. He needs to work his tail off in the offseason, Griffin style.
-Cade continues to be a very solid player. I think he is always going to be streaky on the offensive end, somewhat similar to Crocker, but he brings the effort and intensity every night. That is invaluable.
-I really would like to see more from Pledger. We desperately need him to contribute 15-20 solid minutes for us next year, and that means being more than just a jump shooter.
-Willis hasn't played a minute in over two weeks. I think the writing is on the wall there.
-Still no clue what to think about Orlando's future at OU.

some think he isn't a freshman anymore

Think what he was trying to say is that no collegiate coach in the nation is going to use the "freshman" excuse for a player who has been getting considerable minutes all year...especially when it's the second of March. Could see Fitz because he has gotten spotty minutes all year, but Gallon and TMG are void from that excuse.

Part of being a good coach is expecting more from your players, using the "freshman" manta at the end of a season is a cop-out.

Ah, so I guess as fans, we should only support the team when they're winning, not simply because they wear an Oklahoma jersey. Gotcha.

It has NOTHING to do with wins and losses for me. I don't, however, have any interest in spending my "sports hours" that my wife allots me (this is mostly tongue in cheek) on a team that doesn't have any love for the university that they represent. They don't play as a team, they don't play defense and they want to be out of here ASAP. I have pride for my alma mater. They're not representing it well, so I'll move on to other things.

If they were scrappy and losing, I'd watch every minute. They're not.

I'll say it now and beat the rush - if you go to the Texas A&M game on Saturday and can't spare the extra 10 minutes to pay your respects to Tony Crocker & Ryan Wright, you're no better than the ones who jump off the bandwagon when times get tough.

If I'm able to make it, this is the ONLY reason I'll be there on Saturday. I really hope these guys grow up over the summer, because I miss OU basketball.

So a team has to win or else be scrappy in order to love their university?
