How Did You Celebrate OU's Victory Over Texas? I Bet You Didn't Do This

by ccmachine on Feb 8, 2010 1:24 PM CST in Basketball

Personally I celebrated the big win on Saturday by going and watching my son's junior high basketball team win a state championship. Many people hung around here at The Machine commenting on the open game thread and yet surely others went off and had a nice dinner or night out with friends. However, Steven Pledger and Andrew Fitzgerald decided to go do something unique and exciting after helping the Sooners put the hurt on the Longhorns. They decided to go thugging at Dillards.

That's right ladies and gentlemen, in true DeMarcus Granger Jacktard fashion these two freshmen thought they'd go celebrate at the Sooner Mall complete with a shoplifting spree and everything. Oh, what fun! There night was even extended with the complements of the Norman police department and their subsequent arrest. As if it wasn't enough for Pledger and Fitzgerald to already have their names in the paper for scoring 9 and 3 points respectfully in the win. Oh no, they weren't good with just the sports section. They wanted the rap sheet section as well.

Retards

Hopefully Caple will be like Travis Ford and bail them out and only give them a one game suspension. I would like to have both for Bedlam on Saturday

Texas Tech Tomorrow Night

I think that they should at least sit that game

Knowing Capel

Even if those guys are back in a couple games they won’t get much playing time

Very good point

They weren’t really playing all that much to begin with, but like you said dimes their chances of significant playing time from here on out is pretty much zero. It’s disappointing because I always though Fitzgerald was limited offensively, but he gave good effort when he was out there. Pledger had gone ice cold (or whatever you would call colder than ice cold) from the field, but was our best free throw shooter so that could potentially hurt us as well.

Can you even imagine what kind of a lineup we’d be forced to put out there tomorrow if both these guys sit, Warren doesn’t play, and Crocker sits as well?!? Beau Gerber time!!!

This is why I respect OU

and not aggy. Sooner’s know when their kids messed up, and are up front and don’t try to hide it. I applaud you CCmachine. When an aggy player messes up, and you go over to Iambeergut.com to see his take…nothing. Although he does have a nice little post about a Horn, or a Sooner who got in trouble.

Kind of off topic I know…but just wanted to make a point.

Congrats on the win btw, Mason-Griffin played lights out. And Texas played like the lights were turned out. Very good win for OU

To be fair cc and many others here

Call out any Sooners player no matter the sport if they have been an idiot.

Yea that's what I meant

I really respect the fact that just because it was an OU player, no one is making excuses like Iambeergut. I was more of speaking of sooner nation and the people who post on this blog.
