The @OU_MBBall team won just 27 games combined in the 2 years before @LonKruger took over. In his 4th season, the #Sooners are a 3 seed.

Color me intrigued.
Apple's planned Web TV service would have about 25 channels and looks like it would cost $30-40, launching Sept. http://t.co/LhLUimnjPl

To be fair, burnt orange is known to make people puke.
An hours worth of Mike Tyson knockouts. Enjoy.

You’re right! Thanx for posting.
A commitment today?
Expecting an OPC?
Coach Gasso is truly a class act.
I’ll never forget how she handled the disappointment of losing in the championship to Bama and how they came back and won it the next year against the Vols.
Yep, a good example of how to deal with setbacks while moving forward.
An excellent video about that loss and who she and the players are.

Solid. As. A. Rock.
That’s incredible, EasTex, Thanks for sharing.
For me, faith isn’t about never having anything bad happen to you or never having to experience difficult situation. Faith, and this how I define it, is knowing that something unfortunate can happen to you and that’s okay because you will come out on the other side still determined to keep moving.
Hear hear.
To me it is knowing who is in control and it ain’t me.
Give it everything you got and be grateful.
I like that.
“All things work for the good for those who love God and are called to his purpose.”
You forgot the first part: “For we KNOW that all things….”
Yeah, it slipped.
I was just giving you a hard time 🙂 Glad you quoted it!
Beat me to it…umm, by about 10 hours looks like, but anywho…talk about a game changer or perhaps even an epiphany, once a person understands, accepts and then embraces this as reality, peace flows like a living stream.
Wish Stoops could do this
Sorry to hear about your Corn Flakes getting a shower…again.
golden shower
*implied
/just sayin’
Agree 100%!!!!! I didn’t pay attention to girls’ softball before Gasso and OU started making waves. Now I try to watch all the big games and for sure all the post season. Lately, a lot of “minor” sports are doing well and making us proud. Thanks to all the coaches of all of OUr teams!
Any word on what the NCAA violations are concerning Klemm? My immidiate thought was if it involved Wariboko.
UCLA is “self-reporting” the infraction/s and only rumors exist right now.
One rumor I saw was he took several recruits our for dinner and a Clippers game during the dead period. Sounds like UCLA is trying to get out ahead of something that could be damaging.
That’s cool. Loved the video on the tourney prep. I love that behind the scenes stuff. Thank you guys so much for bringing us the inside scoop when you can.
Yeah, the video was great. Again you don’t see this kind of coverage at the paysites.
Will TFB be having an NCAA bracket challenge?
I don’t believe so, but K can correct me if that’s not the case.
fwiw, that would be fun for braggin’ rights if nothing else.
unless a certain negative nancy won
He would pick Texas to win it all, so I don’t think it would be a problem.
I started one if you guys don’t mind..
I’m sure somebody that knows how to do it could set up a “league” or “group” or whatever on CBS or ESPN or some such. And I think you would then have a password or something that could be posted on here. Ready? 1…2…3…not it
Sounds fun tho if someone were so inclined to set it up
Anyone else still having problems with not getting updates on TFB? I’m not seeing that there are any comments on this post for example.
Same here.
Me too.
TFB bracket pool for bragging rights. Password is BoomSoon

awesome. thank you brother
Tried not to be a homer but that East bracket sets up well for OU to make a run.
I agree, OU couldn’t have asked for a better bracket, i pushed them into the Elite 8…
I got em losing in the 2nd to providence. probably not a popular opinion around here(to say the least LOL), but just kinda fits this team.
Hoping im wrong.
yeah you’ve got a good point. since kruger took over, he’s had awesome teams, but they seem to rely on 3’s a lot. if they’re hot and stay hot, they could get to the final four maybe even championship game. if not, they could possibly lose to albany, or providence. i think talent alone should get us to the sweet 16 and then i think uva will be too much for us. that’s how i see, but you could be right. providence is pretty good
Watching CBSSN’s March Madness Special, one of their analysts said it best: “The Sooners can beat anyone in the country. And they can lose to anyone in the country.”
yeah. i’m just glad we’re not on the list of obvious upsets like we have been in the past, such as last yr. we seem to be one of the teams that one of the prognosticators will pick for his “i just wanted to say i told you so” picks
I’m glad we’re no where near San Diego St.
It’s only because we’re a 3 seed. If we were a 4, we would be on everyone’s upset list.
haha. funny, but a good point. they’ve mentioned it but not as one that’s a “stone cold lock…call us now for the lock of the tournament”
We absolutely have the talent to make a run, IF we play smart. As you said, cant just rely on the outside game, let our bigs do their thing, and we can do some damage.
Our lack of bench scoring also worries me. Cant expect 5 guys to carry the entire load for 6 games.
Providence might be the toughest 6 seed out there, definitely a tough matchup in the 2nd.
Final Four Baby!!!
losing to duke or gonzaga?
Duke
‘zags on mine
I got the Zags going down early
yeah, duke’s young. so its good they got the 1 seed, so they can get their feet wet with a 16 and then they get a test with sd st. really good 1st wknd for em, if they get thru it, to set them up for the final 4. i would really love to see the irish knock off uk, az beat wisc, us beat nova, and either duke or zags and us to beat az for the title. would be some sweet matchups, even if its uva and not us
Biggest question mark in my mind is their Bench which hasn’t scored much at all this season. If they can step up then look out
kudos
I’m in. Should be fun. Thanks for doing this.
I could watch Tyson all day long.
Anyone on here heard of Nick Rollins from Bixby hes a rb but will most likely be a fb if he goes to college I just watched his highlights he was like a bowling ball going through kids.
Actually his name is Nic Roller. And yes, he us one tough hombre.
Thanks for correcting that.
Every Roller is a tough hombre.. Without knowing for sure, I’d almost bet my life that he’ll be wrestling in college somewhere…
Just got my tickets to the men’s BB game in Columbus Friday night!!! We’re pumped! OUr team will have at least 2 people there wearing the crimson and cream and cheering them on!
You better cheer loudly, cuz your representin ALL of us on TFB! lol!!
BOOOOMER!
you’re*
SOOOOONER!!! Oh just watch the game! If you don’t hear me you’ll hear my wife! LOL!!! We’ll do our best to represent TBF well.
You lucky man! Have fun.
Jordan or K… Would one of y’all check out the Hudl on Ostin McPherson, RB out of Mobile, AL. Same high school as AJ McCarron, Mark Barron, Tre Williams, Josh Casher, Chevis Jackson, Jacob Coker, Jake Peavy….. Kid is a superstar!
Watching the last ten minutes of the BYU-UM game and it is wild. Both teams refuse to lose.
