Cousins' 8 3-pointers the last 2 games are just 2 fewer than he made all of his freshman season (played every game, started 14). #Sooners

Wow, really? That's good to hear, looked scary. MT @john_shinn Kruger on Lattin injury: Alex (Brown) said he could've gone back in 2nd half.

Gonna be, in my estimation, a long year for the OU Women.

About the lattin injury. We’ve heard the “could have played in the 2nd half” before. That guy only managed to play one play in each of the next 4 games
Stoops & Kruger are VERY different in how they go about things.
I am looking forward to the game that both Thomas and Spangler get going in the low post. It seems that Thomas is coming into form and I am looking forward to their next test against Washington.
I think the LB Darrin Kirkland Jr. is announcing today.. Probably the Vols… but i think we are in his final 4..
Any thoughts on why Kirkland moved his announcement day up? Maybe he knows OU has a lot of irons in the fire with linebackers and doesn’t want to miss out!!
Sadly, no. OU has very little, if any, chance here.
Tennessee bound he is.
Peterson sounds like he needs to hang out with a level headed friend for a while.
And turn off all electronics.
It sounds like he was just mad. Listening to Mike & Mike this morning, there was a tape released where he was basically told he’d only be suspended 2 games but then got the remainder of the season. If he does file suit today, it sounds like he’s got a legitimate case. The purpose of the suit is to be an available free agent in March. Should be interesting.
Saw the Stidham news yesterday. Any ideas where he’s looking??
Almost looks like a lock to Baylor from what I can gather, although I heard he is also looking at Oregon.
I can see him fitting in well in Oregon’s system, but I’m just not seeing how Baylor is a good fit. Then again, I thought the same thing about Tech.
Baylor. rumor is, that he just happens to be living with the son of Briles’ former DC at Stephenville…. surely its totally on he up and up…..
Any chance OU will be going after Stidham?
Very little.
Would that be because the coaches are satisfied with our current QB’s on the roster? Or would that be because they are pleased with their current 2015 QB commit? Or would it be because they feel that there is little to no chance of landing Stidham? Sorry, its Monday and my sarcasm isn’t so subtle.
KsSooner,
Stidham will end up at Baylor. 85% sure on that one
I think it would have everything to do with them having very little realistic chance w/ the kid and this late in the recruiting season, your efforts would be better served elsewhere.
Who has a better chance at a pro career? Chuka or Julian Wilson?
STIDHAM !
…in case ya missed it, jf had a tough intro to the nfl sunday to the joy of many…….

Didn’t Stidham sign financial aid papers with Tech? Can they block him to certain schools because of that?
No. He can sign financial aid papers with multiple colleges. All that matters is the NLI.
thx
I would rather get a colonoscopy during a root canal than watch women’s basketball
