Sure didn't see you on here after the game in Norman.
What's funny is that you have a great squad this year and nobody in your state or school cares....
I don't know why Rick bothers. He doesn't get the attention he deserves. Great coach for a school that could care less about basketball. I guess it is probably nice to be able to fail in March EVERY YEAR with stacked NBA talent and have nobody get upset...
Come back and take your lumps after we beat you tomorrow. I'll be here either way.

Extremely easy for you to say that now. I would to if I were the KU or UT coach or a fan of those schools. There are several KU fans on this board that love Capel as well.

We care about basketball just as much as OU does. It makes me laugh when OU fans on this board act as if they have more love for the game.
What stacked NBA talent? That's a myth, I thought you were better than that. Nobody stuck around long enough for it to be STACKED NBA talent. Nice talent did come through, but they weren't stacked.
Durant-1 year
TJ-2 years
Augustine-2 years
Bradley-1 year(although I don't think he was that great)
Aldridge-2 years(one healthy)
Gibson-2 years
James was around for 4 years but he wasn't a special talent like the ones that continued to leave early. But none of those beast stuck around for more than 2 years.
Prepare for a beat down tomorrow.

Re: Rick Barnes is a Longhorn even fans in Oklahoma can love >>> NewsOK.com
Ain't that the truth. It happened to you up above when you tried to spell Sampson.
As for the rest of your blather -- Barnes was 6-3 against OU in Sampson's final four seasons at OU. Decent showing, but hardly "owning."
Especially when you consider that Sampson went 12-2 against Barnes from 1999-2002, including eight wins in a row entering the 2003 season.
So it was very convenient of you to start citing win-loss records beginning in 2003.
The fact is, Barnes had one two-year stretch against Sampson. He won five in a row from 2003-04. That's it. After that, he went 1-3 against OU until Sampson left. Before that, as stated above, he went 2-12.
One five-game stretch. Otherwise, he got dominated.
Much as you just did, if I do say so myself.
And if Sampson had stayed, Barnes might have continued to have troubles, given that we'd have had Scotty Reynolds, Damion James (that name ring a bell?) and most of the other players that took us to the Elite Eight two years ago. Some say we wouldn't have gotten Blake if Sampson had stayed, but who's to say? With Reynolds and James on board, BG might have liked what he saw.
It's really easy to come here talking smack while you're up and we're down, but at the very least, get your facts straight.
Oh, and good luck to you and your horns as you try to end your two-game losing streak at the LNC.
Heck, you'd think we hadn't beaten ut in a decade to listen to this burnt-orange clown.

Re: Rick Barnes is a Longhorn even fans in Oklahoma can love >>> NewsOK.com
Blh...weren't you bragging about Texas dominance over OU in football just a few months back? But then you disappeared during this past season never to be seen again. Me thinks if you can't at least go face the music and eat a heapin helping of crow then maybe you should stick to longhorn message boards. Just a thought.
I'm sure once OU gets back to regularly beating Texas in basketball we will never see you on here again. Typical bandwagon fan.
How is that new packers jersey fitting? I bet you also became a big Rangers fan this past year too.

Blather? What do you know about basketball that you didn't learn on a message board?
So winning 5 in a row isn't dominating...like I said before kid, Barnes got the best of Samson after the streak was ended. Cry about it on your own time. You act as if I didn't say Sampson did handle him at first.
As far as your if statements, I'm not going to concern myself with day dreams.
What facts aren't straight? Who was talking smack? You take yourself way to serious fella, and it's amusing. Are you that way in person, I think not tough guy. Words like clown wouldn't come out your mouth. Go ahead, live out your dreams and say what you please on this message board. It's cute.
It is easy to talk smack though, I wonder why I HAVEN'T been here doing it, interesting. Did you say something about getting facts straight, interesting again.
2 game losing streak at the LNC? Ok, I guess you need something to brag about, no matter how minute. I guess I'll say good luck back...on scoring more than 50 points. Now that's return smack.
"Heck, you'd think we hadn't beaten ut in a decade to listen to this burnt-orange clown"
Man OVERBOARD! You'd think I said something to make you really post that. Clowns do and say fake things. Try reading your post again and figure that one out...it didn't go well for you angry man.

Did you just make that up? Bandwagon?
OU beat Texas 5 years straight and I was right there to take the hits, why disappear, I love my life, this is just fun. You better ask some of the vets on these boards. I had to deal with stoops4pres and many others shooting at me from all angles. I just dealt with it and shot back. The good ole days.
Oh yeah, don't hold your breath waiting on OU to regularly beat Texas again.
Why is that when some peoples teams aren't doing good, everyone else is a bandwagon fan? You're just a bitter fan.

Re: Rick Barnes is a Longhorn even fans in Oklahoma can love >>> NewsOK.com
What silly spin.
I could just as easily say Sampson got the best of Barnes after ut's streak ended, as we went 3-1 against ut in Kelvin's final two seasons.
You chose 2003 as the year from which to start counting simply because it benefited your spin--there's no other reason to pick the 2003 campaign out of the blue.
Well, I could do the same by choosing the 2005 season as the starting point. Actually, I could also choose 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1998. Because Barnes dominated Sampson for just two out of nine seasons they faced each other, while Sampson dominated Barnes in five out of the other seven seasons (both teams won on the road in 1999 and at home in 2006).
In 2004, when ut completed its ballyhooed (by you) five-game winning streak over OU, Sampson still led Barnes by a 12-7 margin, head-to-head, and it only got worse from there.
Let me repeat that, so you're not confused: When the five-game winning streak (the only one Barnes ever managed against Sampson, btw -- never before or after did he win even two in a row over Sampson) ended, Sampson returned to his winning ways against Barnes, notching a .750 winning percentage against him over the rest of his tenure at OU.
That five-game streak is all you have, blh. That's it. Otherwise, Barnes was dominated by Sampson, and try as you might, it can't be spun any other way.

Re: Rick Barnes is a Longhorn even fans in Oklahoma can love >>> NewsOK.com
Yes, Barnes we know you don't take basketball that seriously...that's why you flame out almost every March.
Also, it is undeniable how much talent UT has pulled in through the past seven to eight years...nobody does less with more and that is a fact.
I will say this though, really like watching UT play this year (as an impartial basketball fan obviously). Jordan Hamilton's game has been night and day from last year and all of the guys just seem to buy in. Will give credit where credit is due, regardless of where they finish in March I think this is his best coaching job to date. And not just because of their record up until now, they play great team defense (Top 5 in the nation) and run solid half court sets. Rick has got them all on the same page.

WOW, I feel like I need to type slow. Everyone got it except for you. I didn't just start at 2003 out the blue, maybe you should go back and read the post to get the true point. What Sampson did prior to then had already been established, hence playmakr saying Sampson beat up on him. My post was to say Barnes turned it around after a nice streak by Sampson.
What do you mean all I have is a 5 game streak, you really didn't get it. It wasn't a who beat who the most post. I see I'm going to start ignoring your post, you haven't smartened up over time. You're confused, repeat that.

Re: Rick Barnes is a Longhorn even fans in Oklahoma can love >>> NewsOK.com
Your fact is a lie. See my post to bigtime on the same subject in this thread.
As far as flaming out in March, are you serious?
"UT advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tourney in two of the last seven years and three times in the last ten seasons (2003, 2006 and 2008)."
And at one time...
"UT is one of only six programs to have advanced to at least the "Sweet 16" of the NCAA Tournament in five of the last nine seasons, joining Connecticut, Duke, Kansas, Michigan State and Pittsburgh"
Don't overexaggerate because of 1 or 2 years.

Re: Rick Barnes is a Longhorn even fans in Oklahoma can love >>> NewsOK.com
Exactly. And therein one finds the lie.
Barnes and Sampson faced each other for nine seasons. Barnes won two of those seasons, head-to-head. From 1998 to 2002, he was dominated by Sampson, winning just 2 of 12 games (.142). From 2005-2006, following the five-game winning streak, Barnes went 1-3 against Sampson, a winning percentage of .250.
You have every right to tout Barnes' five-game streak against Sampson, if you wish, but presenting that two-year streak as some kind of permanent turnaround, which you undeniably did above, even though Sampson won three of his final four games against Barnes, is disingenuous at best and an insult to our intelligence at worst.
So, that's that. You're exposed once again.
Now, perhaps you should move on to telling us why we shouldn't plan on beating ut a few times in a row in football. Did you see something the rest of us missed in last year's horns squad that has you feeling optimistic? Was it their stellar performance during bowl season?
Oh, wait....

Overexaggerate? Now he's inventing words.
And that's a particularly ironic proscription coming from someone whose primary stance in this thread is based on ... wait for it ... the two seasons (see the irony? We're soaking in it!) of success his coach had against our former coach, even as he ignores the seven other seasons during which Barnes won a grand total of ... wait for it again ... three games against Sampson, while losing fifteen.

Re: Rick Barnes is a Longhorn even fans in Oklahoma can love >>> NewsOK.com
Basically reiterating what sky said, but I wouldn't consider a 1-3 record vs. Sampson over Sampson's final two years (and Sampson getting the most recent sweep) to equal Barnes "beating up on him".
That statement would've applied in say 2004 when Barnes had won 5 straight, but Sampson winning 3 of the last 4 times contradicts any statement saying Barnes was "beating up on him".
