Red, I believe the game where that happened.....Penders was still at Texas.

My memory is not the best, but I clearly remember Coach Barnes crossing over in front of the scorers table to shake Coach Sampson's hand after Kelvin said to the crowd .. "Texas does not suck." Some OU fans never seemed to forgive Kelvin for that.

My seats were right across from the OU bench, so I had a very good view of the scene. It was a bit surreal.

In any event, I could have sworn that it was Rick Barnes. It was some time later that I learned they had known each other many years, as they had both played at small colleges in North Carolina.

(EDIT: The fact is, Texas does Suck.)

You may indeed be right Trav.....but for some reason, etched in my memory is Penders shaking his hand. However, I'm no spring chicken and could certainly be off in my memory.

I certainly can relate. If it is something important, I must verify my memory if possible. I still have hard copies of every one of my tax returns back to 1975, when my jobs were sacking groceries (for tips only at the Tinker AFB Commissary) and preparing restaurant payrolls; my two jobs while going to college. As an old accountant and corporate internal auditor, I am a documentation fanatic. Never trust. Always verify.

That is why I found the following joke relevant:

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.”

The other man said, “What is the name of the restaurant?”

The first man thought and thought, and finally said, “What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that’s red and has thorns.”

“Do you mean a rose?”

“Yes, that’s the one,” replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, “Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”

That joke reminds me, of me.
