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 appalled that "Nobody in Oklahoma knew who 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 reststop.
FWIW, he actually got a nice applause when he came out of the tunnel before the last home game against A&M.
