Look on the bright side

I bet none of our games are nationally televised next year after this fiasco. No big Monday beatdowns at home while the LNC is filled with KU blue or osu orange.

If we have a big Monday game when the schedule is released, we need to email the big 12 office, en-masse, to request it is changed.

A little hint for those of you out of state...the ESPN full court package televises all OU games on Soonervision which may be about 25 games or more next year.

Ya, its always good to get no publicity or be on tv. Recruits love going to schools that are not featured on espn or have nationally televised games.

That wasn't really my point, but it is a good one. The fact we won't be on national TV (which isn't a for sure yet, but how many times was ISU, CU or NU on national TV the past few years?) will really hurt recruiting. How can you recruit kids from out-of-state if their parents/family can't even watch them play on tv?

Sorry, I took it the wrong way but its because I hate seeing the direction OU basketball is going. I hate losing and don't see OU putting a winning team on the court any time soon.

I'm with you. I hate it too, but I'm past the point of getting mad. I was mad 2 months ago when we basically walked out onto the LNC and took a big nasty dump at mid-court.

Now, it's almost comical how bad it's become in such a short time. And, I hate to tell you, but it's going to get worse. Prepare yourself.

I don't see any bright side to any of this. I've been following OU basketball since the early 70s and I can't recall a bleaker time. HCJC has us in a ditch and it's going to take a miracle to have just an average season the next 2 years. Thats just not acceptable to me. The guys who we could land now are mostly leftovers. If next years recruits think HCJC is on the hot seat, we will have a tough time landing anyone except lifelong Sooner fans like Neal.

I hate having very little hope for the near future of OU basketball.

I agree. I was trying to insert some humor into a not so humorous situation. A lot of OU fans on the internet have complained about double-digit beatdowns on national tv (basketball and football), I was trying to state in a humorous way that won't be a problem next season.

I wish I got paid 1.7 million to go 13-18.

I could do it for half of that.
