Season 1- Awful
Season 2- Average
Season 3- Great (but no trophies)
Season 4- Disaster
This is the reality of the situation.
So we are worse off?

Legitimate question ... has this season undone everything Capel built in the previous three years (particularly the two Griffin years)? Are we worse off today then, say, during Capel's first year?

We are significantly worse in year 4 than we were in year 1, so I suppose you could say that. There was a really good year 3, but there was someone kind of special going for 35 points and 20 rebounds every night for that team, lol.
I am going to put this out there again, and see if someone can show me that I am wrong.

Season 2 was "average"?
Yea, that team lost by double digits 9 times. KU beat them by 30, Louisville beat them by 30, Colorado beat them by 15, Nebraska beat them by 20, Texas beat them by 20 in Austin... Texas beat them by 30 in the Big 12 tournament.
That team got their asses handed to them a lot that year.. Now, they got into the NCAA Tournament but it was a very average year. I can't recall another year where I have seen OU get blown out like that so many times.
20+ wins, top 4 finish in the league, and making the NCAA tourney makes some past OU coaches a legend....add a NCAA tourney win and that is just icing on the cake.

So when you get blown out by Nebraska, Colorado, and then get embarrassed by 30 points 3 times to Texas, Kansas, and Louisville its something of legends?
20 wins and getting beat by 30 in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament is an average year at OU, IMO.

It's been an embarassing year, no doubt. But I think we have a point guard that will be one of the top 2 or 3 in the league for the next 3 years, TJ and CAM coming in to solidify the 2 and 3 positions along with Cade, Pledger and Willie if he stays.
Gallon will be much improved and learn how to use his skill set (which is phenominal) at the PF, C position to become an elite offensive player next season. However, he's just never going to be a great defender or rebounder but has a chance to be decent if he'll work.
A true Center would be awesome, then Tiny gets to play and more importantly defend the 4. These team should be okay next year if a big guy is landed.
So it would have been a better season if those games would have been single digit losses?
That year with that team was far from average. It was a very nice year for a young team that needed to make the tournament for the experience. It paid off with the success of last year.
Going 21-12, 9-7 in the Big 12, getting a 6 seed, and getting run out of the gym in the NCAA Tournament is an average year AT OU. It just is. Its nothing special. Nobody is going to remember the great year of 2008, because it was average.
It was good because they got to the NCAA Tournament and finished 4th in conference (at 9-7), but it wasnt good because they got beat by 30 3-4 times and got blown out 7 or 8 times. Therefore, it is average, in my opinion.

No one has used the word great, but saying it was average is being negative toward the accomplishment. On second thought not surprising for some on this board.
