Again, has nothing to do with what we “want.” I’d imagine everyone on an OU message board “wants” us to go 40-0. That doesn’t mean we can’t honestly discuss what is likely to actually happen.
I can think of 4 that would rather not see that but who’s counting
Don't worry...we all already know who the "biggest Loser" really is around here.....I mean, just because he said we were the biggest loser doesn’t mean he thinks we didn’t get good players.
. It's funny, now some of us all believe the three players that so many on this board b!tched about A LOT of the season (Los, Oweh & Javian) are now all the sudden HUGE losses. Which is it?? I like Goodman, and respect his work, but if you are really in full agreement with him on this, than you are basically admitting that we were actually a pretty decent team this year, who really should have made the tourney, but didn't due to a combo of things (key injuries, a rash of last weekend upsets, etc.). You can't possibly have it both ways and think we were terrible this year, but losing the three players he mentioned is a big loss. That math doesn't jive to me. You could argue that we improved at most positions...and you could also argue that we didn't. We will all find out.Where have I argued we were “terrible” last season? I think we were exactly how the committee saw us … a bubble team. I see the three guards who left as guys who underachieved due to their own failures and poor coaching that didn’t maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. I see the incoming transfers as less talented with lower upside than the outgoing guys. And I recognize that our best player from the last half of the season graduated, so even if the transfers end up being close to a wash, our team as a whole is worse because of the loss of Soares.Don't worry...we all already know who the "biggest Loser" really is around here.....
That’s right, we all know you’re a better fan since blind homerism equates to better fandom. The good news for you is that if you keep up the butt kissing, there is a decent chance PM will have a spot for you on his coaching staff soon since he can’t keep guys around for more than a year or two.
So which would you rather "want" as an OU basketball fan rooting for the best?
Which do you think is the one most likely to happen? I think the last one is more likely than the bubble scenario. We were a bubble team this season and our talent has been downgraded a fair amount. I also don't think Moser would get an extension if he barely manages to make the tourney.
so which would you prefer to happen of the three scenarios?
You didn't ask me, but.....
The first one obviously isn't going to happen no matter how much we would all like it, so again, it comes down to the other two. Like I said, the second one doesn't strike me as realistic because power conference coaches don't get extended for making the tourney once in four years and getting bounced in the first round. But to indulge your fantasy world, I would prefer scenario 3 to scenario 2 because it would be better for the program long term. Going through the debacle that was the final two years of Capel was horrible, but it was so bad that it forced Joe to make a move and five years later, we were in the FF. If Capel had done just enough to last another year or two, that never would have happened.
Cannot believe an OU basketball fan would prefer a 12-20 season over a NC. Regardless of what it meant for the tenure of the HC.
Cannot believe you are such a liar that you pretended like that's what I said. Actually, on this board, I can.
Appreciate the honesty. And glad to hear you will root for OU to win the NC, even if it left a bitter aftertaste with Moser.
Wow. You don't even know me and calling me a liar?!!? Why so personal?? You keep saying this is a message board and we can express opinions, but when someone does, you last out with personal attacks?? It seems you don't actually want a discussion of different thoughts as you lash out when someone does engage with a differing opinion.
I can’t believe y’all waffled on that softball question.
No, I didn't. I said I prefer 3 to 2. I guess reading is, in fact, hard.
I didn't waffle. I simply refuse to answer something that silly. It would be like if I asked you, "would you prefer winning the lottery and marrying a super model, or having your leg amputated and going broke?" It's a silly question and the answer is so obvious that there is no reason even discussing it. The question that is interesting, because it involves two realistic options, is whether you would prefer more seasons where PM is just mediocre enough to keep his job without ever actually accomplishing anything or moving the program forward, or one horrible season that leads to a coaching change.
Again, cannot engage in a conversation but would rather lob personal attacks.
But you did answer. Just confirms what we all know. You’d rather OU be horrible than great so PM would get fired.
I’ve said it’s ncaa or bust this year.
