Jelon Hornbeak was named MVP in a blow out win by Texas, look for interviews of Cole and Hornbeak tomorrow.

I just about posted that based on the rosters, Texas should win that one pretty easily.

Although Hornbeak was solid at the point, I thought Bail or OFoegbu should have won the MVP on performance in the game.

[NMSooner'80]

I haven't been able to go since 1992, when Ryan Minor played. But I had some great times at the game in the 70's and 80's also. It used to be played in a small mid-school gym in downtown Shawnee in the 70's. Some smart person got it moved to OBU's arena in the 80's.

The '77 game featured two OU-bound players, football player Frank Moore out of Millwood and smooth guard Snake Gresham of Star-Spencer. They were supposed to get killed by the Texans but dominated them. I also remember a great showing by Stacey King in '85 - when he had a tall Afro, and a similar good showing by Kermit Holmes two years later.
