- Headline right now: Juan Pattillo suspended for the Texas Tech game. Kudos to SoonerDutch for the FanShot.
- Also, let's shine the spotlight on a good FanPost - an article about Bennie Owen - courtesy of SoonerNews.com.
- I wish I could say no news is good news, but it's really not. Nothing new on the Blake Griffin front, despite predictions that we would know today. At least he's shooting around.
- Speaking of Blake Griffin, he's a finalist for the Oscar Robertson award.
- Ruh, roh. Take it for what it's worth (a message board post), but according to "OUFtball" on OUhoops.com:
Cary Murdock said he just left the LNC after talking to Jeff Capel. Coach said not a day has gone by since the Texas game that Blake has not vomited and was dizzy. They have not been pleased with the results of the tests they have given him. They will announce Friday if he will play Saturday.
- After he wrote a criticism of the OU basketball team yesterday, Jeff Goodman writes an excellent article about how Sam Bradford and Blake Griffin have had a friendship for longer than you might think.
Alarming Thought Of The Day
If Blake Griffin is out for the Texas Tech game, we will be left with 4 big guys: Taylor Griffin, Ryan Wright, Orlando Allen and Beau Gerber. This is thanks to Kyle Cannon's dismissal and Juan Pattillo's suspension.
Additionally, assuming Ray Willis is not activated, this would leave OU with only 10 active players on Saturday, 7 of whom play meaningful minutes on a regular basis, and only 2 forwards/centers who play meaningful minutes.
That could be big trouble.

Well....besides that Mrs Lincoln what did you think of the play?
ugh….ugh.
Ok…on a bright note…the win/loss record doesn’t matter much once you are in the NCAA tournament. The winner has to win them all….sure it would be nice to be a #1 seed…but I’d rather be a #3 seed, and lose a few more regular season games, if that means Blake will be healthy and at full strength for the tourny.

See the thing is
I don’t think a single person in the media has punished us with the losses so far. Some have even moved us up. However, those losses were to very good teams. If we were to drop the game Saturday….yikes. Granted I want Blake healthy for Mizzou next Wednesday, but we can’t lose to Tech.

True about the media
I don’t think anyone has blamed us for the losses yet. The key to that is the “YET”. From what I’ve seen and read (and the internet is always the best place to get rumors right?) is Blake may miss a couple more games. In fact I’d say maybe he SHOULD miss a couple more games. And if we lose those too? Will the media have such good memories in 2 weeks?
I doubt it…but I’m ok with that

So if you guys
only have 4 frontcourt players, Texas Tech only has 3 guards. This has got to be a matchup for the ages . . . right? :) I still think you guys win on Saturday and that makes me want to cry a little bit.

Going with that...
Does Capel try a guard-heavy offense for this next game? Can He stick Taylor out there with 4 guards and just sub in Cade and Omar to keep the pressure up? If Ray Willis were around, I really think this could be a viable option
I didn't read the fanshot until after I posted this
not trying to steal the “4 guard” thunder.
