I just don't see Castiglione pulling the plug this year.
Some say he hasn't made his mind up about Capel.
Personally, for him to let Capel go would be alien to anything he's ever done that I know about. Was he upset about all the insanity that surrounded Capel's team a year ago? Oh, yeah. Big time. But I also know he's good with the job Capel has done this season and wants to believe Capel's continuing message that better days are ahead.
I see no reason why he would pull the plug on Capel right now, the fact that he's signed through 2016 and it would cost him some $2 million to buy out the contract notwithstanding.
Then what? What's he going to have to pay the next coach unless he finds another youngster in the profession who is ready to move up on a bargain contract. Is that going to excite an apathetic following that thinks winning is a birthright of crimson and cream?
its funny how one win against a bad team can change everyones view of a situation..
Lets not pretend there isnt a big * next to that win.. they were without their top 5 pick, and they mailed it in from the tipoff. The announcers pointed out all night that Baylor had no energy, like they didnt care, and thats how they looked and played.
If they lose tonight its still a 14-18 team and a horrible season..
Its not like they beat a good team last night.

Funny how Capel wins and he get NO credit from you and other haters. But he loses and its all on him, he cant coach, he didnt sub good enough, he played some guy too long...

Capel has made two mistakes: misjudging TMG to be a serious player, teammate and a sufficiently serious student to make his grades AND saying (he said it and so must be held to it) that he would recruit him again. That positively mystifies me.

To be fair, there are several games this team played where if they'd made one or two less mistakes at the end game we'd be 18-14 or so instead. It didn't happen, but it's not like they *couldn't* have done it.
Did the following things occur last night?
1.) Baylor was playing without a top 5 pick
2.) They could not have cared less about that game3.) Their coach was practically in tears at halftime and after the game because of Perry Jones.
Im not saying OU didnt play well, they did, but they were playing against a broken basketball team and everyone watching could see that. Sure, OU did its job and won, but one win against a broken team who isnt even good in the first place should not make up for an entire body of work.

C'mon dude, they were on the fringe of a NCAA bid...beating OU and then UT would have put them into serious consideration.
everyone knowsyou want capel fired. So they could have beaten Texas or duke and you still wouldn't give them credit, and that's a sad person that does something like that.its funny how one win against a bad team can change everyones view of a situation..
