Alright! Finally something!

Hey guys I am in Houston, can I access the feed online?

 

[kbsooner]

Will the SA be carrying it live?

 

[ben]

i'm sure it will be on the sports animal. you can go to their site and listen to it online.

 

[El Jefe]

Don't know if I'm excited, relieved or worried.

 

[IndySooner]

I'm not going to lie. I'm worried. Especially with Tiny's tweets this week.

I am worried to, but at the same time I am glad Capel is finally stepping up and being the vocal person about the program

What OU basketball situation? He wouldn't have a presser about not having recruits sign with OU, so this is obviously going to be about the Tiny investigation.

I actually am wondering if it's not just to get him in front of the press as a response to all the talk about his silence. Obviously I am just speculating, but I'm wondering if he'll even be able to address the investigation at this point. I hope so.

 

[duncansooner]

Resignation?

 

[soonerbms]

Resignation?

Doubtful. They'd probably handle that with a press release followed by a Castiglione press conference. I don't think Capel would be addressing the media in that situation.

 

[Big Old Booger]

Hopefully he will apologize for the mess he's made of what was once a very good program.

He also would help himself by asking fans to support the program in this time of need.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

OU is still a very good program. 1 bad year doesn't change that

 

[Big Old Booger]

OU is still a very good program. 1 bad year doesn't change that

What about 2 or 3?

 

[Sooner04]

When I need info, I trust Tony.

There have been 2 bad years under Capel. After next season, there will probably be 3 out of 5 years that OU has not made any post season.

Whether or not you find that acceptable is up to you....

ding ding! i doubt this presser would even be happening if message boards didn't exist.

 

[Big Old Booger]

I've been following Tony's posts since the old ouhomer message board, and that was mid 90's. I just assumed the Tony here is the same one as back then. He's always had good info.

If true, I think it's a week or two too late. Now, he probably wanted to have one, but the NCAA, investigations, OU AD, Boren, Joe C probably dictated that he had to wait.
