Tramel usually has it about right. Can't disagree with either thought...
From Tramel's blog:
* Not such a great coaching season for Jeff Capel. The Sooners’ problems continued in a loss at Texas Tech. OU had an 11-point lead, but that evaporated quickly. Tiny Gallon is a total mystery. With Willie Warren sidelined, the Sooners got little production outside Tony Crocker and Tommy Mason-Griffin. For whatever reason, this team is not cohesive and not improving. Capel did a marvelous job his first three years in Norman — Blake Griffin didn’t hurt — but this is not a great coaching job. This team has far more talent than an 11-8 record suggests.
* With apologies to Warren, Mason-Griffin is the best OU men’s player. This team is fast becoming Mason-Griffin’s team. I don’t know all the stuff going on with Warren, and I suspect he’s a victim of circumstances as much as anything. But TMG is starting to take the reins of this team. There will be bumps in that transition, but in the long run, Mason-Griffin’s ascension will pay off for Capel and the Sooners.
