Lets beat Kansas on the road tonight & change our season around
- Thread starter bullmarket
- Start date
There they are. Bad shots. Bad defense. Hesitation when shots are there. Manek shoots scared. 20 point blowout.
As usual, should have avoided the rush
We were playing kind of like a team when Young was sitting

Thankfully we're a Women's Softball, M & L Gymnastics Dynasty and Golf school
Can't recall the last time, if ever, I turned off a Sooner game of any sport.
First time for everything. Pathetic display.

It is simply painful watching this team. I will make it to the end of the season and watch every minute, but this is no fun at all. I can only imagine how the players feel. I watched more of the USA-Slovenia hockey game than I did of the second half of this embarrassment. And Dickie V was right for his comments about OU's lack of defense. He was kind to Lon, but this team is just not good at all.
Good luck with that. OU has only had two coaches that won consistently. Billy Tubbs and Kelvin Sampson. Both won over 70% of their games and both coached OU for more than 10 years. You have to go waaay back to find an OU coach being the head man that many years and none won the percentage of games as Billy or Kelvin. OU just doesn’t have much of a basketball program.

Then we need to fix it. I still think that a school like OU could be good at both sports.
How many top power football programs are consistently very good at both sports, football and basketball. Ohio State? Hate to sound like a former frequent poster of this board, but not having great high school basketballers instate makes it more difficult. Some of our best teams have had Oklahoma kids excel. As already posted, Billy Tubbs did a great job of bringing out of state talent to OU to play with our great instate kids.
Florida
Michigan State
Notre Dame
Wisconsin
Depends on your definition of top football programs. If you're meaning top 5 of all time, then Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Notre Dame are the only 3.
I agree. Was just providing the info, not the argument.
I think Oklahoma is an every-sport school. We're the best all-around sports school in the nation. I think that's a hands-down statement, no arguing.
We can be good at both basketball and football.
Lloyd Noble is a horrible venue. I'm not familiar with the other facilities from which the basketball team benefits, but I think we are extremely sub-par. We need something like that which was proposed in North Norman late last year, but I don't like the idea of the team playing so far from campus. Basketball is a difficult sport to pack arenas when they play on weekday nights and a long schedule. They need the students.
I haven't been around Lloyd Noble in quite a few years, but as I recall it, the living area and amenities around it sucked. Most of the dorms and off-campus housing in that area was populated mostly by overseas graduate students, almost all of whom couldn't care less about athletics. Compound that with the absolute lack of retail businesses and restaurants and Lloyd Noble was like a barren wasteland.
I'd love to see the North Norman plan linked below in the area that is now Lloyd Noble. We need the facilities first, then maybe we can start attracting the talent.
