Thank you Seniors

It's been fun as hell to watch you guys grow and raise Sooner Hoops back up. Part of me is glad it was a blowout, if you guys had lost a heartbreaker I would've been in tears. Best of luck to all of you in your future endeavors!

hmmm, okay...I understand the "heartbreak" but man, IMHO, no way in hell I'm "glad" or ok it was a blowout. I figured it would be a tough game, 50/50 maybe even a slight nod to Nova...but a 40+pt blowout? record setting lose in Final 4...NO~

Thanks to those guys...good luck in the future~

Always easier to lose a lopsided one. But not this lopsided. It will leave you soul-searching and trying to piece back the chain of events that led to the snowball for the rest of their lives.

Whatever happened this weekend, win or lose, was going to stick with them their entire lives. Yes, without question, I imagine the way they lost tonight will always nag at them, baffle them, frustrate them, etc. I'm sure in one way or another they will always wonder what, if anything, they could have done differently to not go out that way. It's the beauty of sports--- it is real drama and in many ways, real life. It's a moment in time that you can't get back after it's gone. They can't ever erase it.

Fortunately, they also can't erase the euphoria of winning in Anaheim or the satisfaction of their time in Norman. It was a time and place in their lives that I would certainly hope they will always regard with reverence. As fans, we take that journey with them-- I can't believe it's been 20 years since I arrived in Norman and 15 years since I graduated (yeah, yeah, it took me an extra year). My memories of that time in my life are special and sometimes it even stings a little knowing that it gets father away each year and that I can never go back and re-live those days. And I was just a regular ole' jack wagon college dude. These guys got the opportunity to compete at a high level culminating in a trip to the pinnacle of their sport. So I watch them and I know how fast it all goes and live vicariously through them and how the my represent my school. When it ends for them, it ends for us as well. Now they have to leave just like I did.

This loss is part of their history and legacy now. They can't remove it. It sits there along with all of the wins and great moments. It won't ever go away. But over time, it won't sting as much and I imagine it will be properly compartamentalized with all of the good memories.
