Sometimes you have to go all the way to the bottom

[Navy2004]

As the year went on you could see that there was alot of these kids that didn't look interested in playing as a team and now we are seeing that. I love Coach and this is probably the hardest time he has ever had. When his dad was coaching ODU the same type of things happened and he got the boot. Coach is very lucky he has a AD that will put up with this kind problem. I believe coach came in at a perfect time and saved the program. He made one big mistake, leaning on kids that looked like they where going to take this program to the upper 10 of the NCAA. As a leader you carry the burden of mistakes by your coaches and players as a whole. This is one of the biggest projects we have seen in OU basketball in a long time. Not in Coach Tubbs or Sampson years did we see this kind of disorganization. He has made big mistakes and he must be held accountable and told to fix the situation. HE WILL..........OU will be stronger as a program and above all a young Coach will be stronger....

That's funny to you? You don't think it can get lower still?

Fire Capel and see just how low it WILL get!

Give the man a chance to fix this thing that he has admitted is his fault!

There are a bunch of retards with no real life experience that post on here; forgive them their ignorance.

We still have a ways to go before we hit bottom.

Ain't that the truth!

The man says that he is ready to learn from his mistakes and is committed to turning this thing around, that's a man of character right there. :clap

Really, the way some on here act you'd think things are as bad as they could get. I'd actually include you in that statement.

Well we are at the bottom. Or lower.

We don't have zero wins yet.

We don't have zero wins yet.

Yet.

Thanks Mr. Brightside.

What have you ever done? I didn't graduate High School, struggled for a couple of years, then got a degree from OU and then a law degree from OCU.

You have no clue what adversity is, or how to overcome it. Just a know it all message board that has no idea what it takes to be successful in anything. Theodore Roosevelt had a very fitting statement for you:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Chew on that smart guy.

Mr b! You are a legend in your own mind.

I graduated high school and college, as did most people on this message board. You are no better than anyone else.

We are all sooner fans. It would help you to remember that.

Right, becuase this board has made it REAL easy to do that....you think someone was talking about you, again?

Someone said on here a few days ago that they could live with some loses next year if everyone played hard for 40 minutes on both ends of the court. Based upon what Capel said today, that is exactly what I believe that we will see. I have no idea how many wins that will generate this coming year but if they play hard and do things the right way, I can live with the results until we can get the kind of players that we need to get back to where we want to be.

Last year I didn't see a lot of playing hard for 40 minutes on both sides of the court. I'm not going to say we won't see that next year but they'll have to prove it.

It's pretty sad to think that OU basketball has fallen so far that scholarship players playing hard for 40 minutes will be acceptable result even if we lose em all.

I'm not going to be satisfied until we start winning some conference championships again, with or without this staff.
