Peculiar list in Basketball Times: top football/basketball schools

[NMSooner'80]

No OU in this guy's list (Steve Richardson). :facepalm :facepalm

I remember when OU was considered up there with Michigan for the top "combo" school among those who are good at both football and basketball.

What made his list even more stunning to me was that Baylor and OSU were listed, but OU didn't make the cut. He even wrote that OSU "was and is as good as (Oklahoma) is in basketball...." Baylor being ranked higher than OSU and obviously OU, is even more worthy of :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm .

If list like this doesn't include OU then it's nots legit

I just got that issue in the mail today and don't have it handy. I'd also post a link, but they don't make it available on-line, at least as far as I know.

OSU fans would probably consider printing up a t-shirt, until they realize that Baylor is listed ahead of them.

The disrespect for OU men's basketball, including in-state, by various regional media types is downright mind-boggling. I think with us, they tend to either (A) listen to the Poke hype from the in-state people, or (B) penalize OU for poor attendance. But the fact of it is, OU leads every Big 12 team but Kansas by a bunch in head-to-head matchups.
