Every game OU plays shows Capel is a great team builder.

And he had Cade last year. I agree that Grooms and Osby help this year's team, but Cade makes up a lot of that difference.

cade brings almost nothing to the table that grooms and osby do ..

that was another "problem" with the team last year .. davis clark and pledger were the 3 best players and they really should not have been on the court at the same time

It was obvious that JC never embraced the University or the people of Ok. It was always "Duke this" & "Duke that". He didn't have a defensive or offensive system.
It was recruit as good of players as he could, turn them loose and watch them play. IMO

Yep.

He even said something to that affect when he was hired. That he wanted to let the players make plays, and win and lose games.

Why do people insist on posting about Capel? Love him or loathe him, his gone. Quit beating a dead horse and be glad we ARE PLAYING WELL

After game ONE it was clear who the better coach is between LK and JC? That's not fair to JC, LK is a potential HOF coach. JC knows basketball but doesn't know how to run a program.

Herein lies part of the problem with our fanbase, and I really don't mean to sound like a douche, but if you had to watch LK coach a game at OU to know this, then you're either fairly young or don't watch a lot of hoops.

OU won't take the court against many people while LK is here that we won't have a pretty significant advantage on the bench.

Surely OP isnt that stupid, I just think he has nothing better to do with his time than post ridiculous threads, sit back and watch the suckas bite. If he is serious it reminds me of all the mouthbreathers than blindly follow Obama.

Please keep your political rants off this basketball board.

Thanks in advance.

OU is now 10-5, 0-3

Lost to Saint Louis by 20
Lost to a Cincy team with half its team suspended
Lost to Mizzou by 38 and was down by 42
Lost to KU at home by 11
Lost to an 8-7 OSU team and was down 10-15 the entire game

Thanks for the great team, Jeff Capel! Good thing are are such a good team builder!

abd...master of exaggeration

Half of cincy team wasn't suspened.
We were not down 10-15 points the entire game vs osu.

you are quite annoying

I think that's his goal.

And it's one he's good at. :ez-laugh:

OSU never trailed from the 16 minute mark in the first half to the end. They were winning by as much as 17, OU went on a run to cut it around 10, then OSU went on another run to make the lead 17 again with 7:00 left.

Cincy had some starters suspended after a brawl. Thats a big deal to lose any starters.

Plus, you aren't necessarily disagreeing with the point of my post, or at least you have not done so thus far.

I think that's his goal.

i don't believe that we trailed by 10-15 until less than two minutes in the first half. And cincy had 4 players suspended. I guess they only have 8 players. You make sure to point out that we lost to kansas at home but don't mention that those other loses were all away from home.

We suck, we get it. Stop trying to make it sound worse than it is by exaggerating every bad thing we do. You are a lot more vocal when we are losing or when one of your crappy underdog adopted teams is winning. When your other favorite teams start sucking you stop talking about them. Your annoying and I have always thought this board would be better off without you.

Well, they havent won a significant game in a long time. When they win a significant game I will be more vocal. But im not gonna sing their praises for beating some bull**** team, especially when they lose to anyone capable of dribbling a basketball.

I've praised the team plenty this year. They went on a nice run when I was on vacation, and people were calling me out. I was in the Caribbean for cryin out loud!

I am sorry you feel that the board would be better off without me, but no matter how much you follow me around and complain im not going to leave because you want me to, lol.

At the end of the day, its an amateur basketball team that none of us even play for. You are taking it way too seriously, and taking people on this forum way too seriously. Lighten up! If they suck, I post about how they suck. If they are good, I post about how good they are. Posting is a direct reflection of the teams performance, and thats how it should be.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

lol ok. its pretty easy to see through your routine. you go out of your way to criticize the team when there are countless threads discussing it.

 

[NormanPride]

I despise the job Capel did here as much as the next guy, but this really needs to stop. Dude's not worth it. He didn't put in half the effort running the program that you guys do analyzing his work.

I am sure this is not true. I am not a Capel fan but I am sure he worked hard. The guy was on the road recruiting a lot and I am sure he put in lots of hours when he wasn't on the road.

I agree it is time for fans to move on but the names Billy Tubbs, Kelvin Sampson and Jeff Capel are always going to appear on this board just like the names of former players will appear. I hope OU can win today.

Wow. This thread has been a roller coaster ride.

Not the biggest win by any means, but still a significant one for this team. Feel free to be more vocal
