When Capel enters the LNC

[MercedeSooner]

With what team does the coach not come out with the team, not a play on words I assumed everyone put the 2 together and wrote it differently this time. not to make a point.

I remember differently and thats fine and I heard the interviews with him very clearly, not secondhand through whatever board. If you've listened to Capel since he's been here its always been about the kids on the team, not about him.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

I specifically remember him being upset that he didn't get the same type of ovation as Coach K used to get at Duke. Others on here remember the same thing.

i thought you said you heard it from other posters

Please show me where I said this.

 

[Section31]

no, i read what others reported on ouinsider (this board wasn't around then) and a lot of people were commenting on it at the time.

At least 3 other posters have confirmed what i read so are you going to say we all read the wrong thing?

Maybe the radio in your mercedes doesn't work very well...

huh????

 

[GratefulWeav]

Eastern Oklahoma isn't known for being very smart...I guess nobody has informed Capel of this.

You make it sound like western Oklahoma is known nationally for their superior intellect. Silly flat land people.

 

[Big Old Booger]

huh????

This is what I've maintained the entire thread. I said somebody reported it...I thought it was from a radio interview where somebody typed out the transcript (like what was done last week by OUHoops from the Capel interview in which he never mentioned TMG). That is where it was discussed and a number of other posters have corroborated what I read.

No, I did not hear the interview and neither did SoonerBounce13. He admitted he doesn't even follow OU basketball and also admitted in this thread he never visited the basketball message board until last year. Since the quote by Capel was toward the end of his first season in Norman he has no clue if it ever existed in the first place. If OUInsider hadn't archived off the thread, I'd gladly pull it up and paste it here for everybody to read.

All I can comment on is what others said Capel stated in the interview. If what I read was wrong, I wish some would have corrected in the original thread about the topic instead of waiting 3 years later and then start revising.

The original question of the thread was if Capel was upset or not happy or dumbfounded at the welcome his team and he received in his first year, what's it going to be like in year 5 when the team is fighting to win 10 games? Obviously other programs will not come calling with his record this year and next, but if he turns it around he may leave at his first chance because he will realize OU basketball is not Duke and never will be.

Is that more clear?

IMO, they are, but it was meant to be funny anyway. No offense intended.

Do I need to explain again or can you comprehend?

I initially said this:

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?

JohnnyBlack posted this:

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.

Sooner23 posted this:

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.

Tony posted this:

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.

ouatty posted this:

Capel definitely commented about the fans being loud when he and the team came in. He was trying to compare it to Duke and the other loud arenas. Unfortunately, I doubt it is very loud next year. Unless Capel pulls off a miracle recruiting class, we are going to be near the very bottom of the Big 12.

Stanley posted this:

I remember hearing what Booger is saying. I don't have links either. That stuff is over a year old.

MercedesSooner posted this:

confirmed what ? that Capel stated that he wished that when him and the team came onto the court that he wished there was a louder and bigger crowd ? Those comments along with Blake at the McDonalds were all audio interviews. Yes Capel did say those things again, because he said he felt bad for the kids including Blake. Not himself.

That's 6 other posters that basically posted the same thing.

Please show me where I said this.

here ya go

Actually I did hear it.

He admitted he doesn't even follow OU basketball and also admitted in this thread he never visited the basketball message board until last year.

I never said that. quite being a tool.

Since the quote by Capel was toward the end of his first season in Norman he has no clue if it ever existed in the first place. If OUInsider hadn't archived off the thread, I'd gladly pull it up and paste it here for everybody to read.

:ez-laugh:yeah b/c the only place for sports info is on a message board.
