Come on ... I might see the Mayor getting in there ... but there's no way Barnes gets the nod over our coach for conference COY.

Kruger has done a MASTERFUL job. I dont even see how it would be close.
 
Horns were picked to finish 8th in the conference. Barnes having this team in 2nd places is one heck of a coaching job.
 
he certainly has them playing well ... but they have more talent than Kruger
 
I agree with cool. Texas has more horses and enough size / versatility to match up with different teams. Doesn't mean they're better than us.
 
OK, they have MORE BIGGER talent than Kruger. We have the edge in backcourt, but they have us smoked down low. That's not intended to take anything away from Ryan ...

I figured they could hang with Kansas. Didn't figure they would dominate them like that. But we do good just to hang with the Gawks. We just dont have the size yet.
 
Guards win games. And I think we have more experience. I wouldn't swap rosters with them.
 
It makes sense that Barnes would be over Kruger.

Texas - picked 8th now 2nd
OU - picked 5th now 3rd

I tend to agree at this point in time. But I reserve the right to change my mind when we finish above them in the standings.:D
 
I was on the why are they saying Texas is better than Oklahoma bandwagon, until they smoked Kansas, Texas is playing some good ball.

I think Texas shot way up in the rankings this week, but are still pretty good

If OU can win at home against Texas, then I'll go back to thinking OU is better
 
There is no reason for Barnes over Kruger for Big 12 COY. You can't reward someone for exceeding expectations when they are the reason those expectations were so low. The reason Texas was picked 8 was because of Barnes, you can't reward him for that.

The reason they were picked 8th is because their top 4 scorers from last year left.

If Kruger can finish ahead of Barnes he has a chance, but with that dominating win on Saturday over KU, it's Barnes to lose.

Do some research.
 
Theres no doubt that they should share the title. But Barnes might have been out of a job after this season.
 
My take is that we have already beat Texas @ Texas and sure they have gotten better, but so have we. If we beat Texas at home for a second time, there should be no question that LK should be COY. As far as Texas beating Kansas, that was good for them, but I remember last year when TCU beat Kansas. I think Kansas was due for a loss and it just happened to be Texas that give it to the.
 
Maybe after we pummel them in Norman the COY votes will go back to Kruger :D

I am with you on changing my opinion at a later date. That was just a snapshot at current standings
 
Barnes continues to have a roster full of Blue Chips,the fact that they have massively underachieved recently,tells me Barnes underachieves as coach.Yes the Horns are playing better this year but you have that much talent you should win. Barnes is working with Top 50 talent,Lon is working with Top 150.
