BOOMER SOONER!

Let’s kick some Bevo Burgers to the curb.

Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."

I'm With You

Let’s get this party started!

Surely it will be a packed house for Texas, right?

30 minutes before tip and it is more than half empty.

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 7:30 PM CST reply actions

Maybe they are down on the Horns

Since they have been blowing chunks lately.

Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."

Surely it will fill up

Their attendance for Game Day was a joke!

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 7:36 PM CST up reply actions

Yep I saw that

Sad very, very sad. lol

Capel just said that they hadn't talked about being #1

I don’t buy that for a second

K-Stater

hoping you help put these pukes out of the tourney and make room for us.

by KSU_Philly on Feb 21, 2009 7:57 PM CST reply actions

You guys may have done that yourselves

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 7:59 PM CST up reply actions

You know the Texas fans complain that we whine about disrespect

But you see the ESPN guys all but say that it will be Texas tonight.

That was surprising...

I got OU by 12.

Well Bob Knight hates OU so that didn't surprise me

That's Okay

Because for the most part OU hates Bob Knight

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:03 PM CST up reply actions

Pretty much ever since

Longar didn’t go to jail for the elbow against Tech two years ago, Knight has picked against OU every time.

I loved it when Longar came back at took Tech to school that year

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:09 PM CST up reply actions

I think OU has a legit beef

We’ve already got east coast writers making a push for Pitt to be #1 even if OU wins. These next two games being on a national stage for the Sooners is a golden opportunity.

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:03 PM CST up reply actions

TC Feeling it!

Looks like this one is going to be a sloppy one.

Two turnovers since coming in

Bad News: Blake is out

Good News: Texas couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat

Not that big of a deal

Let Willie keep driving like that and he’ll put some points on the board

Not if he isn't getting the calls

Blake on his way back in

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:29 PM CST reply actions

Those were two really loud klonks on those misses

They must have the mics right on the rims

Not real pretty but they seem to be hanging with them until BG returns

.0128 > 45-35

by chrisabo on Feb 21, 2009 8:30 PM CST reply actions

Maybe the rims are loose

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:34 PM CST up reply actions

Taylor just threw Balbay out the way on that one

Considering they only lost two points with their leading scorer on the bench

I thought they did very well

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:34 PM CST reply actions

Indeed

Ryan Wright can do well against this kind of team.

Blake needs to settle down

And play his game.

Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."

by boomer1 on Feb 21, 2009 8:41 PM CST reply actions

and we gotta learn to play w/o him

if we want a chance to go anywhere in the tourney we have to get through these times w/o him

.0128 > 45-35

by chrisabo on Feb 21, 2009 8:43 PM CST up reply actions

This is true

Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."

by boomer1 on Feb 21, 2009 8:45 PM CST up reply actions

Judging by the way he looks on the bench

They may be without him for a while

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:46 PM CST up reply actions

Boom!

Willie

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:43 PM CST reply actions

Crap!!!

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:44 PM CST reply actions

Yes!!

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:44 PM CST reply actions

that was poor shot selection

.0128 > 45-35

by chrisabo on Feb 21, 2009 8:45 PM CST up reply actions

BG looks like he got a concussion?

.0128 > 45-35

by chrisabo on Feb 21, 2009 8:46 PM CST reply actions

He's got that Sam Bradford at Texas Tech look

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:47 PM CST up reply actions

I'm not to worried

We are playing in a hostile gym on the road and keeping it close. I have confidence they will turn this around and win.

Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."

by boomer1 on Feb 21, 2009 8:48 PM CST reply actions

With the amount of time Blake spent on the bench

OU is fortunate to only be down five. The guards are going to have to win this game now.

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 8:49 PM CST up reply actions

yep

The thing about him is that with all the hype he had coming out of high school he's had a very average career

by ccmachine on Feb 21, 2009 9:23 PM CST up reply actions

They need to keep the pressure on the Horns

I knew they had it in them. If they win this without Blake on the road there is no way the East Coast bias can continue. Right?

Pretty Game Effort By Our Boys

Lost the POY in the first half and still nearly beat a team on the road that HAD to win.

Now go out there and take it out on Kansas Monday night.
