UT better at every position - Not even close

[buttermaker1]

Okay Capel said we are 2 players away basically a couple of weeks ago. Really? not. We don't have a player that is in UT's top 7 or 8. Look at Cade Davis face tonight says it all, OU players have zero confidence. I don't remember a Sampson team ever waving the white flag like this at home. We are bending over and not even fighting it.

This is brutal.

 

[sooner8]

Has anyone not noticed OU is not very good??Go Sooners!!!!!!!!

 

[Max Power]

I know we had a lot oof high hopes for this game, but this is the same Texas team that walked into the fog and put a pretty good beating on KU winning by double digits.

 

[MarnePatch]

Meh..

I don't see us waving a white flag or giving up tonight. I think this is that point in the season where roll players like Cade that have been counted on as key players get overwhelmed. He's playing hard, we are just way down and simply not competeitive against top level teams.

It's ugly tonight, but we are just getting drilled because of coaching and talent. Our players are still fighting. JMHO.

 

[JBaker]

I disagree.

We have not given up.
We certainly have not played well in any facet really.
But we have continued to fight and play hard for 36 minutes so far.

So does Baylor's FB team at home. Seeing the difference in each team's talent is enough for me to say fire Capel. We were ***** slapped at every turn at home. Really? at home?

Did you forget that this is the Number 3 ranked team?!?! What were you expecting. They got their by beating KU who is ranked higher then them...and 2 of their 3 losses was to Pitt who is ranked 4, and Uconn who is ranked 9.

Give credit to Texas...They are a solid team

This. What were the expectations? We could play them 100 times and lose 99 times.

 

[Soonerman82]

How did Texas lose to USC?

 

[Soonerman]

There's one thing this team didn't do....and that was quit. I don't know what game you were watching...

 

[okcsooner83]

OU wasn't ever in the game after the tip. I never thought the difference between OU and texas hoops would be this big. Texas is a solid team, but I am tired of the excuses for why OU is bad.

What excuses??? Texas is the # 3 team in the nation. I'm just not getting what you want to hear. Do you want everyone to bash OUr coaches and players??? That has been done and only slowed during the win streak. I fully expected the bashers to return as soon as we strung a few loses together.

We will struggle all year. The guys have improved in many ways, and they always seem to care. They have taken a step back in the last 2 weeks, but that is typical of young teams. Not sure what else to say, because I'm sure you will see it as an excuse, but really its just the truth....

It doesn't matter who we lose to if we lose the vultures will show up here and take their opportunity to rip Capel. We could lose to the Thunder and they would be here promptly saying "Faarr eeem!!!"

 

[OKUman]

Not one player on the OU team could make the 12 man roster of UT. And oh bye the way neither could our coach.

Barnes is one of the best coaches out there..he has shown that over and over.

Well, for at least 25 of the past 30 years, that wouldn't have been accepted as an excuse for not at least being in the game on our home court.

It's a sign of how far we've fallen as a program that we're expected to accept a beating like this one and celebrate because, what, we played hard till the end?

It's beginning to seem as if we've truly lost all our mojo (as a program, not just a a team) and that the rebuilding job that faces Capel (or the next coach) will be as daunting as the one that faced Coach Tubbs, if not Coach Bliss.

For a quarter century, OU fans could expect our team to compete at home against any opponent, even the #3 team in the country. Now, it seems, we're expected to accept an ass-kicking at LNC with a kind of zen calm.

Sorry, but if we're so lousy that we can't even stay on the floor with a top ten team, then the situation is dire, dire, dire.

I didn't think we'd win tonight (though I always hold out hope), but I didn't think we'd be embarrassed. Surely, I thought, we've improved since we lost by twenty at Austin. But judging by tonight, that's not the case.

1) we have improved, as evidenced by the quiet board for 4 weeks after UNEXPECTEDLY winning 4 games when 1 seemed nearly impossible. 2) UT is very good. Who is expecting anyone to accept losses with a Zen Calm?? Come on Sky.... The team that we have right at this moment is young/void of talent. The players expected to help next yr should/probably will help us to compete with teams like Texas. On a night that we don't hit shots, we are subject to get rolled by Tx, KU, and possibly A & M if they are on.

No one here has accepted losing, that is a false belief. What some have accepted is that we went through something last season that has set us back 2 yrs. Though the task is daunting, we believe that with Osby, Goff, and possibly 1 or 2 other players waiting, we will see a competive team again. We believe that Fitz, Pledger, and Blair, along with Cam and Neal will continue to get better. We believe that CJ will accept whatever role he is given, because he LOVES wearing the C&C. I guess in a sense we understand what the program is up against, and we understand that going postal on a message board after EVERY loss is not going to bring OUr ship in....

If that is making excuses and accepting defeat, then sign me up as an acceptor and a loser I guess...... Serious Question: What should everyone be posting after a game like tonight?? I'm lost at how keeping a positive outlook can be perceived as making excuses.

OU 47-30 series advantage is dwindling. If this is football, the head coach will get fire. Nough said.

I guess Mack Brown should have been fired for losing 5 straight to us...oh wait if that would have happened they wouldn't have won a NC. Nough said.
