Osu

I don’t get why some OU fans care that OSU got “screwed”. If I were to agree OSU got screwed, isn’t that a good thing? What about all the years of the law cal media promoting OSU basketball on lies and myths at the expense of OU basketball. OSU getting “screwed” doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Those people would celebrate in the streets of OU got screwed. The local media would rejoice.

Bingo. this soft disease permeates through the team apparently.. Even our OU basketball fans are soft these days

 

[coolm]

yes, we've gone much too soft with our hate. we should double down on identity politics and hate anyone who isn't us.

I like Solomon. Good player. I just didn’t like OU fans saying he was better than Latin. It is not Mitchell’s fault his parents raised him wrong to be an OSU fan.

It is college sports, not politics. A little hate is a good thing.

A little hate is a good thing.

or maybe it's not.

I think you take this a bit too seriously. Some of my best friends went to Stoolwater

He is better than Lattin...

I loathe OSU and root against them in everything and get no satisfaction out of their dudes fighting harder than every one of ours and giving chits.

IMO, they deserved a bid and giggle when I think of them not making it.

I'm thinking you guys take it too seriously. there's no need for hate.

 

[MsProudSooner]

I have too many good friends that went there to 'hate'.

It is an interesting topic to debate. though.

He is better than Lattin...

Definitely not in terms of career.

 

[steverocks35]

I would trade Lattin for Solomon in a heartbeat, and it's not close.

Lattin started every single game for a Final 4 team. Not trading that away for Solomon's mediocre senior year for a trash team.

Tells you how great Hield, Cousins, and Spangler were, to be honest.

Not really. It just tells you how he failed to progress, which is not uncommon for Lon's bigs.

 

[MercedeSooner]

It tells you how good a fit he was on that specific team - Nothing more. He was a great complement inside to Spangler who did all the dirty work, something that Solomon seems to do for OSU this year.

Lattin is not a pure 5 that ll rebound and defend and he’s been exposed since he’s been put into that position. He’s a very good off the ball defender who can protect the rim from he weakside and is good offensively playing the high low game. He’s just not a good fit for the way these past 2 teams were constructed.

I used to dislike OSU, but now that I've aged a bit, it seems silly to hate them. Fact is, I like them these days. I want them to do well. Boynton seems like a good coach, he has a good staff, and I like OSU.

I’m telling you al OSU did Not get screwed. I listened to radio all day and them homering for OSU saying this. And all they did was point out beating KU twice and WV on the road. BUT NO ONE points out they lost at home to WV and got swept home and away by KSU/Baylor/TCU and had a sucky non conference schedule. Yes they played Ard and Wichita state but got beat by both and we beat Wichita State AT THEIR PLACE and USC and Oregon in Oregon. DUH is all I say, OSU got what they deserved and someone earlier posted they were 5-5 in their last 10 and 6-8 in their last 14. That’s nothing to scream about. They should have fun in the NIT and learn to play a tougher schedule and win a few of them LOL.
