I know as an out of state fan it's frustrating how little coverage of ou basketball there is. I get we're not a blue blood, but we're not nobody state, either. That's honestly why I've started posting more here. I rarely feel like I have much to offer that hasn't already been said, but I've relied on this community of fans for info for years as a lurker, and felt the need to try to contribute something as a thank you to Coach, Wichita, Ada, Vbdad, and the many others that have been my beat writers for years. Ok, rant over.
As for the athletic department efforts, it feels like a chicken and egg situation. Fan interst is low, so why bother putting out publicity. But, if you measure interest through clicks and likes, as many do these days, fans can't click or like content that doesn't exist.
