w00t!

 

[MarkOU]

Who's excited? I just want to beat fucking Kansas damnit!

 

[Goldbug]

I had an opportunity to ask Terry Stotts what he thinks of the job Lon Kruger is doing. He said "He's doing great!" I made a comment that I sure hope we don't lose him and Terry said "No way. He's got a deal that he will live with until he retires at OU". Good news to hear in my opinion.

 

[Wheat]

meh, I always figure this was Lon's last stop, if that's what he wanted. He has really turned this program around, no doubt and I was happy when he was named the HC.

 

[B_dub]

I really like this team. Think we have final four caliber talent coming back and Lon has really hit his stride recruiting these last couple of years.

 

[MarkOU]

Team is off to a great start and has had some big wins.

Next up is Creighton in Norman then they are off to the Diamond Classic in Hawaii.

man can you believe how they manhandled Villanova? I didn't get to watch that game as I was probably drugged up from the surgery and forgot, but I did watch the ORU game and they flat out kicked ass the 2nd half.

I think this team has a chance to go all the way!

 

[MarkOU]

Watching the Diamond Head Classic.

Playing some damn good BB. If you haven't seen them yet, catch a game. This Tournament will be a good challenge. If they win tonight, they play the winner of Hawaii/Norther Iowa. NI has two wins over top five teams, Iowa State and UNC.

 

[MarkOU]

17-0 Run right now in the 2nd half vs WSU.

 

[MarkOU]

Great Game.

Chris Spatola - ESPN Analyst (Coach K's Son in Law) called OU the best team in the country right now, after the win.

 

[MarkOU]

Hawaii tomorrow night 8pm. Diamond head classic semi final. Warriors looked really good against Northern Iowa. Upset for sure and they are the host team, crowd is behind them. Going to be a challenge.

 

[Wheat]

Damned uverse is frickin out and I missed the game last night....I am so tempted to go to direct tv....

 

[Wishbone]

This OU team is everything thats right with college basketball.

 

[KansasSooner]

Who's excited? I just want to beat fucking Kansas damnit!

Especially if there is a rematch in the Final Four...that game still bothers me. They let Danny Manning and KU get by with murder in 1988.

 

[MarkOU]

I knew this game would be tough. Hawaii getting some home cooking calls to keep them in it.

College basketball is the most home cooked sport in the world.

 

[MarkOU]

SOONERS win!

Man what a tough game but they pulled it out! Clutch baby!

Especially if there is a rematch in the Final Four...that game still bothers me. They let Danny Manning and KU get by with murder in 1988.

OU beat those fuckers 3 times in the regular season that year.

 

[Wheat]

And all 3 were sound wins as I remember.
