The Appropriate Way To Showcase Your Team Loyalty
We're still a month and a half from the ole Red River rivalry game between Oklahoma and Texas, and, as always, emotions are running high. How high? Oh, "bust open the opposing fan's scrotum" high. (That's pretty high.)...
Sorry, Seattle: Your Hoops Team Is Gone
So you know Sonics fans were holding out hope that the Kevin Durant acquisition might spur the new ownership group — which hails from Oklahoma City — to keep the team in Seattle? We wouldn't hold your breath on that....
Someone In Oklahoma Is Sad
The great folks at Post Secret — via Burnt Orange Nation — have dug up this little mailing, which features a sad, scorned lover of an Oklahoma football player lamenting the need for their union to remain a secret. Oklahoma last won a national championship in 2000, which theoretically narrows it down...
He Doesn't Give A Damn, Sing Whatever You Want
This somewhat old — from October — video, via Every Day Should Be Saturday, features two, um, casual Oklahoma State fans just kind of chilling, not giving a damn....
Five Tiny Tidbits On: NOOCH!
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner. So come with us now as we present five tiny tidbits on each team, just to get you in the mood. Today we continue with the Southwest Division, so do us a favor and send your tips to [email protected]....
If Only There Were A Logical Time To Drink It ...
You know, we were fully aware that the Oklahoma-Texas football rivalry — if you missed it in all the playoff business roaming around these parts, they play this weekend — was a pretty big deal, but we'd always felt it lacked the critical component of beer....
That's Not A Fun Way To Lose
Saturday was an outstanding day for college football — particularly if you went to Syracuse, grumble grumble — but it was not so pleasant for Oklahoma fans, who, as this video rather clearly shows, were screwed out of a big road victory against Oregon. It's funny, because one wouldn't think it would...
Rhett Bomar's Next Home?
You know what school is interested in former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar? Division II school Texas A&M-Commerce. Rhett Bomar. Commerce. Irony....
Some Good Ole' Texas Schadenfreude
As you would probably suspect, many Oklahoma rivals are having some fun with this Rhett Bomar no-show job business, and nobody's going crazier with it than the Hook 'Ems of Texas. They've had a little photoshop contest on a Longhorns message board, and they're having all kinds of fun....
That's Quite An Offseason Transformation
Amazing find from The Wizard Of Odds: This appears to be a shot of Oklahoma offensive lineman George Robinson one year ago, and Oklahoma offensive lineman George Robinson from Sooners training camp today. We haven't been able to confirm it's the same guy — though we see no reason they'd change numbe...
Offense Leads Defense At The Half
For those of you who really hate baseball, golf, bowling, or anything else on TV today, ESPN is bringing you Oklahoma's spring football game today, live in its entirety. Spring football. Live on ESPN. I don't know why....
Fresh Meat In Bloomington
To us, being the coach of Indiana is about as thankless a job as you might possibly imagine. No matter what you do — remember, Mike Davis once took the Hoosiers to the national title game — you're always going to pale in comparison to the fundamentals-spouting ogre in the red sweater....
NCAA Pants Party: Oklahoma Vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Oklahoma Sooners (20-8) vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers (21-8). When: Thursday, 12:25 p.m. Where: Jacksonville, Fla....
Oklahoma Sooners
1. Longar Longar: Future Cult Hero? I love this guy, and you have to love anyone with the same name twice. Forget the fact that he should shorten it to one name like "Cher" or "Yao"; a 6'11 Sudanese import at a school filled with what Nebraska coach Bill Callahan called "[expletive] hillbillies" is ...
I Think It's Time Eddie Sutton Had A Reality Show
Police in Stillwater have obtained video footage of Eddie Sutton urinating in public. On a middle school. With a bottle in his hand. Oh dear....
Just How Drunk Was Eddie Sutton?
Well, he blew a .22. To figure out how many drinks per hour that is, first, we have to take a guess at the man's weight. Now, I've been fired from my job trying to guess people's weight at the carnival three or four times, so I'm not very good at it. But if we guess an even 200 pounds, consuting ...
Adam Morrison is a hero
"Major onions" was how Bill Raftery described it. The play-by-play guy ended the telecast by calling Morrison "the best college basketball player in the country." He may be that, I don't know, but I think JJ Redick's 41 points against the #2 team in the nation at least leaves the issue open for deba...
Gotta Support The Team
When we were a kid, we would always stay in the stadium hours after Illinois football games ended so we could watch the players and press meet by the tunnel to the locker rooms; something about balding paunchy men interviewing people 30 years their junior fascinated us even then. We never quite ha...
Respect The NOOCH!
Last night, the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets (NOOCH!) shocked pretty much everyone by hammering to Sacramento Kings in front of nearly 20,000 crazed Oklahomans....
America's NBA Team: NOOCH!
Even though we still hadn't quite gotten used to not calling them the Charlotte Hornets anyway, the New Orleans Hornets have now officially changed their name again....
