After seeing the fallout from Kelvin Sampson's dismissal and hiring a very young coach in Jeff Capel only 4 years ago, I thought it may be a long time before OU was playing in March again. Joe Castiglione has proven himself once again to be a great AD and that Oklahoma doesn't just have to be a "Football school." Hopefully potential season ticket buyers will see it the same way. Now focusing on the goal at hand- beating Syracuse. At least Carmelo Anthony isn't playing for them anymore, right?</p><div class="oneCommentDetails"> 0 Comments - <a href="http://sportsanimal.oklahoma.net/soonerferg/blog/comment.one?xref_id=9276355&type=blog_post">Leave a Comment</a> </div>Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:51:33 -0500http://sportsanimal.oklahoma.net/soonerferg/blog/2009/02/02/what_a_super_bowl<p>I gotta admit- I was not too excited for last night's Super Bowl. My highest hope was to see some good commercials. I had no idea it would turn out to be one of the greatest Super Bowls ever. The Commisioner Roger Goodell immediately declared it better than last year's, but I can't quite give it that distinction. The Giants beat an undefeated team and came from behind. Just imagine if the Cards had even got a field goal at the end of the first half and didn't throw the 101 yard INT for a TD. So many things could have happened to change the outcome of that game, and it was exciting and entertaining to watch. Way to go, Super Bowl XLIII.</p><div class="oneCommentDetails"> 0 Comments - <a href="http://sportsanimal.oklahoma.net/soonerferg/blog/comment.one?xref_id=8266775&type=blog_post">Leave a Comment</a> </div>Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:43:33 -0600http://sportsanimal.oklahoma.net/soonerferg/blog/2009/01/30/blake_griffin_keep_playing_home_games_in_this_state<p>I know this is a tall order, but if the Thunder manage to snage Blake Griffin in this year's draft- I wanna be the first to say it: The Thunder make the playoffs next year.</p> <p> </p> <p>It may be 8th spot, and they may get swept in the first round, but with the nucleus of talent in Durant, Green, and Westbrook, I think that Blake Griffin will provide that extra push that will get the Thunder enough wins for a postseason berth. Just look at the difference in the Spurs win/loss column the year after they drafted Tim Duncan. Whether or not Blake will ever put up numbers like the Big Fundamental is yet to be seen, but I think he's got it. <a href="/soonerferg/gallery/view_gallery.one?pid=56822605"><img src="http://wa3.images.onesite.com/sportsanimal.oklahoma.net/user/soonerferg/griff.jpg?v=52668" width="228" /></a></p><div class="oneCommentDetails"> 0 Comments - <a href="http://sportsanimal.oklahoma.net/soonerferg/blog/comment.one?xref_id=8245515&type=blog_post">Leave a Comment</a> </div>Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:40:29 -0600
