When Capel enters the LNC

[Big Old Booger]

Remember a few years ago somebody reported Capel didn't like the reception he received before home games when he exited the tunnel. What will the reception be like next year if Gallon, WW, and TMG are not back and the team is 7-24?

I fear there will be little noise of any kind, since the "crowds" inside the LNC will likely shrink.

Cool thread.

No, I don't. Are you making it up?

No, I don't. Are you making it up?

No, he's not. Capel wanted to compare it to what Coach K gets at Duke without realizing he's done far less at OU than Coach K has at Duke. Sometimes I feel like Capel as a young coach is a little like these young players expecting instant gratification from fans.

Yeah, Capel definitely commented on this.

I believe it was during a radio interview during his first season. Said he wasn't used to walking into a quiet arena, and that where he was before at VCU they applauded him when he walked onto the court before the game. He also had the rant last year on the radio about how nobody in the McDonald's at the turnpike between OKC and Tulsa acted like they knew who the team was or tried to approach Blake.

He was offended that "Nobody in Oklahoma knew that the future No. 1 pick in the draft was there" or tried to talk to him. He said Blake would've been mobbed in the same situation in North Carolina had they stopped at a similar rest-stop.

FWIW, he actually got a nice applause when he came out of the tunnel before the last home game against A&M.

Yes, it was in this interview, although it was last season, not his first year. I'm trying to find it, the Animal's web site is terrible.

im guessing things are being taken out of context here. I know the mcdonalds one is being taken out of context. he wasn't offended by it at all. He was taken back by it b/c nobody bothered them. People in OK are a little different than people in NC.

The lynch mob is growing and getting louder with every thread. Looks like they're ready to hang Capel from the nearest sweet gum tree.

 

[Big Old Booger]

Satisfied?

Some of the posters on this message board act like everybodys on a conspiracy against Capel or something. I think he did a terrible job coaching this year, but I still hope he succeeds and have been on record saying such.

He's a very nice guy and very sharp off the court and oozes with class. No way do I want him to get fired.

So he said it, or something to the effect. What is the point/purpose of this thread?

The only point, shooter, is that certain posters are battling it out to see which one can hurl the biggest insult at the OU coach.

Right, then they follow up with some half-hearted love in a vain attempt to appear objective.

The message board is about OU hoops. My thread was about OU hoops. Do you need more info or can you connect the dots?

If you don't like my posts, please choose to ignore me. Or, just don't read the thread. Pretty simple, huh?

Who are you guys referring to?

This thread is stupid. still waiting for the links to the comments about the applause when he enters the tunnell and the mcdonalds story. I believe both were out of context

And you also thought Michael Neal wasn't a good 3 point shooter...

Your thread belongs on a smack board at a poke site. Then it would make perfect sense. Pretty simple, huh?
