Johnnie Gilbert

[CMSOONER]

I miss Sea Biscuit! Thought I'd share in remembering a great Sooner. He had a great attitude and was a hard worker. Boomer Sooner Baby!

Yeah, I had him in economics class and he seemed like a great guy.

Tim Heskett ... Jameel Haywood ... Kelly Newton ... Hollis Price ... DeAngelo Alexander ... Taj Gray ... the Griffin brothers ... the Tisdale brothers ... Tony Martin ... Terry Evans ...

Sorry, but the recent "early departures" of 2010 ... I do not (and will not) miss them at all. When I think of Sooners, their names and faces will not pass my memory. At least, not in a good way.

Johnnie was a stud of epic proportions. He was a big team guy, and that was never more evident when he agreed to redshirt during the Final 4 year. He could have helped that team inside when Brown and McGee got into trouble, but took one for the team and was a better player for it.

He definitely wan't the most skilled offensive player to ever play at OU, but his offensive game improved ten-fold while he was here. By the time he left, he was a decent free throw shooter, which is a far cry from his frosh year (he was on par with Johnny Pittman at osu as the worst FT shooter I've ever seen in d-1 basketball).

I'd love to have 3 Johnnie Gilberts on next years team. I wonder what he's doing these days? Is he coaching somewhere?

What bothers you about being an athlete? The stereotypes.

Or close to that. Sports Illustrated even made fun of it.

Seriously. He said that.

Did not know that! That makes me like Jilla even more. Always have C-Span 2 on in the background during the day! Never understood why the Senate was on 2 and the House on the original.
