Most entertaining matchup of the evening.....

Khadeem Lattin vs Mitchell Solomon.

Hopefully Khadeem can hold his own against someone as awesome as Solomon.

I really don't think it is possible. Solomon excels at fouling and turning the ball over. He is just "way better" than Lattin and would easily "start at OU".

At least Lattin isn't being held back by Kruger. It's a weird strategy by Ford to tell Solomon to "not block shots." But, Ford probably realizes that stats don't matter.

I've seen this Lattin v. Solomon quote used sarcastically several times on the board, but where did it come from originally?

It came from a poster who has admitted he was wrong since then.

So, let that be a lesson to you. Don't ever make a mistake on this board. Forget and forgive is a lost art in some circles.

sheesh you guys are harsh

Or don't say a worthless aggie is better than OU player. That is what bugs me more than anything. I could get an OSU fan making that argument but I just don't understand how or why an OU fan would ever say that unless it was comparing Byron Houston or Big Country to a role player.

to be fair, when the statement was said, it was atleast a reasonable discussion. Lattin had not really turned it on yet. He has played at a different level in conference play. And last year they were pretty identical stat wise

'Lost art' would indicate that at some time they had the ability to forgive and forget! :ez-laugh:

It was not a reasonable to say what the guy said. He said way better when not one statistic backed up that statement and when no reasonable OU fan could have watched last season and come to that conclusion. I get it might be reasonable for an OSU fan to say it because they are biased towards OSU but part of being a fan is being biased, supporting your team, taking sides. I just don't get why some OU fans think they need to go out of their way to prove how unbiased they are to the point of saying things that are actually biased against OU.

Lattin was better last year, he was better the first six weeks of this season and he has been way better the last few weeks.

I can turn that around and say only a person with Crimson glasses would say that Lattin was clearly better last year. They were identical numbers wise and both had little impact on their teams.

And when he made his post on December 14, I don't think it is unreasonable from looking at the game logs to take the position he did. Especially considering fords style of play.

It certainly isn't worth a months worth of mocking and mean spirited posts

Mike Holder vs. Travis Ford's buyout.

So far the buyout is undefeated in this rivalry series.

No they weren't.
Per 40 minute numbers from last season:

Lattin: 10.3 ppg 57% fg 14.7 rpg 1.5 apg 1.5 spg 2.2 bpg 0.7 TOpg 5.1 fpg

Solomon: 9.9 ppg 50% fg 10.1 rpg 1.1 apg 1.5 spg 0.9 bpg 3.2 TOpg 6.2 fpg

That's a huge gap in rebounding, blocks, turnovers, shooting % and fouls. All pretty important for a big man.

I can go find a bench player that plays limited minutes and give a per 40 number too. Doesn't mean much when they are playing 10 a game
