Good morning fellow Brainiacs and a big BOOMER!!! The boys really put it together last night. Three more like that and we’ll be cutting down the nets!!
SOONER!!
I want it all but I’ll settle for two more wins just to get to the grand stage.
Im no settler!!!!!!!!!!!
But I have cable and I guess you have Direct TV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPGGFs7Zwac
Exactly what i was thinking!
BOOMER!!
Good morning, Altoid!
Good morning JR
SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great win! Its 7:15 and texsa still sucks!
Great win texsa really sucks at 7:16
ATM sucks too———–
I though I would remind us of what our resident troll said yesterday. I wonder if he will come on and admit he was wrong.
“I doubt aTm is very worried about OU. This has the earmark of an easy aTm win : much taller and more productive inside scoring presence and guards sufficient to offset Cousins, Woodard, and Hield…..the Aggs could roll by 20 pts although I suspect the margin will be 10-15 ….aTm advances and the Sooners come home.”
Does saying his name 3 times make him appear like Beetlejuice?
He’s more like athlete’s foot. Spray the area with a good anti fungal and it will go away.
Candy man Candy man Candy man.
You have to say it five times Metz!!!!!
I’d say his name every day if it’d keep him away. Until that is confirmed, I will not speak his name.
I know where he lives. But, I think he is hiding somewhere south of the river.
??
I’m confused, Wade.
Stephen Dale
I don’t care about that man. He’s a waste of space.
He will get the LLAMA!
Sounds like someone who doesn’t really know jack; he wants to look as if he has a really high basketball IQ: all he does is come on here and regurgitates what he’s heard other people say.
Jeff is another goof for which I have no patience.
How do you really feel,Sam?
I’d like to eat a bunch of asparagus and piss on him.
lmaooooooooo!
That was a good win last night. The boys looked good.
Don’t be fooled by Oregon. Duke made them look a lot better than they really are. Put a body on those leapers and they will look average, at best.
Duke hasn’t played defense all year.
Oregon is good but If OU gets production out of Lattin/James to complement buddy/Co..
OU can get that W
Limit Oregon to one shot per possession, as much as possible.
No free lanes to the basket.
Charge them a toll fee.
Yes oregon fooled us once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you actually have to eat asparagus to take a piss ?
No, no. He asked, “how do you really feel?” 🙂
I have to work on that. LOL!
I’m going to meditate to get in touch with my true feelings.
Yes – his statement was very aggie. Whenever eATMe tastes a little success, they try to act all blue blood. That’s why you’ve got to keep them beat down. Fact is, they have been ut’s whipping boy for most of their existence.
Wait for the prediction of the Oregon game. By his thinking, we shouldn’t even show up.
surprise , I think OU will beat Oregon.
Oops. Y’all said his name too many times……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CeZxkvwVIAAiGid.jpg
I asked him that very question last night. Highly doubtful. Almost a guarantee he’ll keep picking against us until he’s eventually right then act like he knows something.
Hoping he won’t be right for another year though.
Once again really impressed with Christian James presence on the big stage. If Tre Young joins the team, think the team will be in good position to rebuild with Lattin improving his game.
James/Lattin each are bringing production and impacting this tourney.
I really liked how confident everyone on this team is playing.
Great production and great production from a freshman on a very big stage. He’s finding his confidence.
Lattin looked much better offensively and changed a few shots while guards were driving down the lane but I didn’t like seeing him get pushed around and scored on repeatedly by the freshman big man from A&M, especially in the second half. He has to hold his defensive position better in the post or other teams will take advantage of that.
Did you see the way the refs were calling that second half though? There was nothing he was allowed to do.
I tend to agree with that also. Like I said in an earlier post OU had 9 FT attempts to 23 FT attempts for A&M. Hmmm
At one point in the 2nd half, OU had 11 fouls to AM’s 1. Seriously. And by no means were those all legit either.
We played great “help” defense, with everyone collapsing down when they went inside. I was impressed!
Thrilled to see James as first off the bench. 12 pts & 6 boards is huge production.
I must admit that Lattin is so much better than I ever thought he would be.
The young man is improving rapidly and has a much higher ceiling than I ever thought he would. My apologies young man!
See buddy with Kobe———–
Dam OBO is a big boy———-
Debo or Obo? Wow
That boy eats his Wheaties (with a side of small pig).
RR, how have you been? What’s been hap’nin’?
Sam the Man. Nuffin’ much. Getting pumped for some theology-rich community. Wha ’bout choo?
Just hanging out. I took the day off but I’ll be peeking in on work. I don’t expect much to happen. Max and I will probably go see Batman vs. Superman today.
Heck yeah, man. Enjoy your boy. I’m taking my little R/R 2016s to their Paw-Paw. Have a good one!
I will. You too.
Before I can do anything, I have to get the fridge in place. We had one delivered yesterday. My house is over 100 years old. They didn’t build them to accommodate these huge appliances. I had to take the front door off the hinges, the door in the breeze way, practically disassemble it in the dining room, squeeze it through the door, no room to spare, reassemble it in the kitchen.
Let us know what you think; I’ve seen nearly every opinion on the internet so far, but most of those are from people with clicks at stake.
I most certainly will, Drew.
Drew, great movie, excellent plot to introduce other super heroes. Worth the price.
Awesome, thanks for the info!
… a little something to get you primed for Superman vs Batman ..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yo0MGR2kmA
Yeah, that was loverly!
I’ll never get that time back.
LOL!
Looks to be a good replacement for Striker!
The thing I like about this team is that there is talent everywhere. These fellas are going to be pushed if they want to see the field. And even then, they can’t let up. That is a very, very, good thing.
some long, huge arms for sure
That’s how my physique looks before breakfast.
Right, me too… 30 years ago. 🙂
As in before you wake up.
Me too accept im a little lighter.
A good Good Friday to y’all! Hope you and yours have a wonderful Easter (that’s Resurrection Day! for some of you). For those celebrating with their worship communities, today is important. But remember: Sunday is coming!
Good Friday!!!!!!!!———–
Yes, sir. It is.
Yes it is!!! Thanks, Metz. And a blessed Easter weekend to all who celebrate Him.
Yes sir!
Amen
No doubt about it. HE IS RISEN!
Poor Aggroids. I bet Kyler wasn’t conflicted on who to root for!
http://www.theeagle.com/aggie_sports/blogs/travislbrown/who-is-trevor-knight-rooting-for-on-thursday/article_45b0ba0a-f11c-11e5-b7a5-5bf8a95b3585.html
The crap that A&M fans were slinging on Murray, on Twitter, for tweeting congrats to the OU MBB team for the win was ridiculous. No wonder he left that God forsaken place. Those so called fans are complete idiots and a bunch of A-holes. Kudos to him for the lack of a rebuttal they didn’t deserve one. Have some class Ags!
I didn’t know that, but I’m not at all surprised.
Aggroid gonna aggroid.
Go look at his timeline when he congratulates the team and read the responses from the hAg fans!
Well, I’m sorry I looked.
In the future, if I want to kill brain cells, I think I’ll stick to drinking.
Class Ags is an oxymoron!! Can’t put em in same sentence. Lol.
Remember oregon!————
Yeah I love OU but that Oregon team looks unstoppable. I like that OU is coming online at the right time but Nova and Oregon are really, realllllly, REALLLLLLLLLY good.
They might not look so unstoppable in the Big 12. I mean who have they played worth a crap.
No bad teams get to the Elite Eight.
Everyone is stoppable. I won’t buy the hype. Check out Oregon’s record. Six teams have stopped Oregon this year.
A loss to 15-15 Stanford hardly puts you in the unstoppable category.
As always, Bob, you are succinct and clear.
Yeah, I have a thing about over the top language. Most modern journalists write like a sound system with the knob stuck at ten. We no longer are playing a good team that is going to be hard to beat. Our next opponent is always unstoppable, one of best of all times, etc. The problem is that language like that cheapens real accomplishment because there is nothing left for when true greatness arrives.
“Most of modern journalists write like a sound system with the knob stuck at ten. We no longer are playing a good team that is going to be hard to beat. Our next opponent is always unstoppable,”
Classic, Bob. Classic.
The oregon fans are saying the same thing about OU BOOMER!
SOONER! Looks like duck season bout to open.
Time to cook some bird! Boomer!!!
Sooner!!! Roast duck, duck soup, chicken fried duck……
I think you are seeing OU and UO and it’s causing you to get everything confused.
I don’t remember Oregon ever being ranked #1 at any point this year. If I were Oregon, I would be saying OU looks REALLLLLLLLY GOOD!!!!!
I’d rather be a good team playing great basketball at the right time then be a great team playing good basketball.
Didn’t you know Metz, They threw him that ball from the sideline.
good ol Allen Patrick…one of the most underrated Sooner runningbacks in my opinion
I hate Oregon.
I hate Oregon with ya. In fact, I’m full of hatred for every team that’s not OUrs. Therapy is most likely required.
And I am surrounded by Ducks, here. Really hoping to rock my Sooner gear after Saturday night.
If you google OU vs Oregon ( like I did for sat gametime)
first 8-10 links are all about that classless asinine crap
You ought to be rocking it all the time, hOUligan.
Good Friday fellow Brainiacs!!! “It is a great day to be a SOONER” Having an Aunt from Oregon it should be an interesting and highly trash talking game. But hey she’s family so it will be all good. Just continue to leave it on the court and show everyone in the country why you are there. And the rest will take care of itself. And again I say LEAVE NO DOUBT!!!

Man them cover guys are hungry it looks like to me. Fire i tell ya, Fire.
Steven Parker shutting those receivers down! Haughton showing he can cover too! Sadly, every time I see PJ in one of these, he’s giving up a catch….
I would like to see a legit man cover shutdown Dime package with Haughton
5 dbs
Steven Parker Single high safety
JT, WJ , KH, PJ
PJ is right there. That’s going to happen. It’s all good.
Iron sharpening iron – nuff said
“The tradition of Oklahoma is big. Recruits know we will always be a top
team,” Robert Barnes said. “Even if we have a bad season, which is
losing three games, we will still be in a bowl game and compete every
year in the national spotlight and for the Big 12 Championship. Seeing
the atmosphere, and how everyone is like a family when guys visit is
also big.”
loved reading this
Yessir. Further evidence that Barnes is all in with #SoonerSquad17.
Fantastic
That game last night was like a throwback Thursday to January when OU was playing their best. Ball movement, driving to the basket, not forcing shots.
MOST importantly, Buddy showed why he is the player of the year. A double double when he didn’t get as many looks and found other ways to win.
I think Buddy would agree. I think he would rather score in the teens and win than score 40 and lose.
This was the best play of our season last year.

Perine was a beast who wouldn’t be denied! Love it!
Now if Iowa State can complete the BIg 12 entry to the Elite 8.
Will definitely be a Clone fan tonight!
I root for them in every game they play that is not against OU. Kids on the football and basketball teams just seem like the scrappy kind.
Good lord. Obo is a beast in that picture! Can’t wait for football season!
I think his time has come!
With Obo, it seems it is a matter of getting his mental game in gear. He dang sure has the physical skills to play.
What he may lack in that bending edge rush or running down the back side of run plays (in terms as how well Striker did those things) is being better at setting the edge on the run plays to his side.
Caught a little of the Oregon game last night. Oregon is good, gonna be a tough game. Definitely need everyone to contribute.
reading and watching some of these interviews, it sounds like Kyler Murray isn’t as bad as I originally thought. Obviously only the team knows what he’s like among them but he doesn’t seem as high on himself as it sounded like he would be coming from all the aggie fans
Fans are generally much harder on (and much less knowledgeable about) players than is necessary. Team loyalty, team ignorance and emotions usually are the driving factors rather than “what is truth”.
He may have been all those things but learned something from his experience at Aggie world. One of the many things that high school grads have to adjust to at this level is that everyone on their team and who they play against were all-conference or all-state in thier high school days and were “stars”. A new kid isn’t going to impress them until he does it on the field.
Gonna miss Gary Shandling. A true original.
RIP funny man.
The Larry Sanders show!
Very underrated show.
Man, no kidding. It was outstanding.
It’s Gary Shandling’s Show was amazing too.
When OUr Sooners laid the smack down on the gaggies…

Stephen Dale eagerly waiting on OU to lose. “Told you so!”
Can’t be him Ryan… Too many hands above the table
LMAO!
I;ve already picked OU to beat Oregon…….
Damn. Now I’m worried.
I FINALLY have a little time.
GREAT GAME BBALLERS! Congrats to all of you and Coach Kruger!
Late at night, I have been reading what you TFBers have been saying. My only comments for the past few weeks are:
TFB Staff – Keep it coming! Also, we love all the practice updates and position battle info you can feed us.
Metz – stay out of trouble (I don’t won’t to read about a drunken gunfight over some dame :))
All you many, many other informative, fun, and inciteful contributors – keep it up.
And lastly (and I do mean LAST), Stephie Dale – please take the next 6 months off. You can’t make 50% on your negative predictions, so let TFB save the storage space.
Trouble?What is this trouble you speak of?
The fun kind
Oh, I read this reports of wild Metzian sprees replete with excessive indulgence in libations and hot and cold running women of questionable repute. Am I misinformed? I may have to check with Bob E. to make sure you provide the full story – 🙂
Aren’t running with Metz and being of questionable repute redundant?
Well, you have a point there Bob. Still, we can’t let that get in our way.
Taps foot loudly on floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OP normally comes early on Fridays. My need a board meeting to get things back on track.
Aren’t we having a bored meeting right now?
LMFAO!
I’m with ya. Doing some yard work and keep checking, nothing. I need more cowbells but that can’t compare to more OP’s.
You heard him Bob,more cowbells!
https://vimeo.com/55624839
One of the best!
Maybe we will hit a daily double this afternoon and get the OP for the weekend and practice notes.
And we will need a game day thread.
That I could also go for. The ménage a trois of the Friday edition from TFB!
