[OUHoops]

Be interesting to see what OU comes up with:

The gap has certainly narrowed. Hopefully Buddy can finish strong, and OU can finish strong.

Lmao. That's pathetic

I love Izzo's comment: "we are not trying to buy their vote...". Please! SMH. It's one thing to put out a video on youtube or something pumping your guy... But to send out to only POY voters... ridiculous. Probably an overreaction on my part, but I have not been an Izzo fan since we played them in Brooklyn... Great coach, but seems to be a smug son of a gun. Go Sooners! Go Buddy!

This is clown shoes. How about letting his play campaign for him?

 

[WTSooner]

No different than OU sending out stuff for football awards, especially the Heisman.

Exactly. It's good to see the school support him. Very cool. I'm sure we will do the same. That said... Buddy winnin it

Is this the award that is announced at the Final Four?

Saw a tweet from Fraschilla after our loss to tech where he said Valentine was now the leader for POY.

Was Baker's Heisman campaign clown shoes? this is no different and schools should support their stars.

Yes, it was.

Edit: I just hate that these award become about politics and campaign trinkets. I think it diminishes the awards a lot.

Fair enough, I disagree with you but respect you keeping you opinion consistent.

He didn't say anything like that during the win over WVU (or if he did, I missed it).

I really think he is holding a grudge for some reason, and the only thing i can think of is that James didn't play at all on Sr. Day last year. I know James was upset by that

Seriously? OU's senior day last season was a critically important game against KU that literally came down to the last seconds. I doubt they do, but if James and Fran are holding a grudge over that they really need to grow up.

Are you referring to the video they posted on social media? I'm not aware of anything else they did, but if they did it is indeed "clown shoes". MSU is specifically campaigning and trying to buy Valentine votes. And Izzo saying anything other wise makes them look even more foolish.

The race should be very close between Valentine and Buddy. Valentine is having a historic season as well.

Buy votes? They're sending out checks?

I mean, give me a freaking break, it woudl be embarrassing and disrespectful if a school didn't campaign for their guy.

If you want to send some written propaganda out to the voters, that's one thing. But gifting a knock off Swiss Army knife is 100% trying to buy votes and is an embarrassment.

It's a metaphor, it's not supposed to entice people to vote for him because they love their Swiss Army knife so much. That's not "buying" a vote.
