This was an ass-whipping....no other way around it. I don't care much for Baylor, but I do enjoy watching their guard play...it's exceptional this year. And to me, Gonzaga is one of those teams like Boise State in football of years back....even though they have accomplished more. I just enjoy seeing them get their "come-uppance". BTW, Baylor would win a "best of 7" against Gonzaga in the neighborhood of 4-1. They are just better.

You have to give credit where credit is due and Baylor is a great team.

Kispert lost some $ tonight, not sure he athletically matches up with NBA talent

Don’t like anything about Baylor. They’re dirty. They’re sanctimonious BS. Their cult.

However, if baylor can win it all, so can OU. Let’s do it. Pretty please.

sanguinetti · 04-05-2021, 09:45 PM

so, it was Homer Drew who said it's not the X's and O's but Jimmies and Joes....not Barry Switzer?

i must have that one wrong.

WTSooner · 04-05-2021, 09:50 PM

lol at the Baylor hate. Most OU fans just made their football team stomped our butts for a couple of years.

I'm glad they pulled it off. Drew being at Baylor for 18 seasons and slowly but surely improving them every step of the way is a GREAT story in the age of administrators, coaches, and players always looking for the next big/best thing.

Fun team to watch. Their guard play is outstanding. Pretty sad they have 3-4 guards better than all but "maybe" one of ours. Pretty much only two bigs played, both limited offensively but smart and athletic. So many different ways to build a winning bball team. It's why I don't get too caught up in the "we need this, or we need that" conversations. We need something, but it doesn't have to be any one specific thing. I'd take some guards that can make buckets though.

I think most people hate Baylor because they systematically covered up murder and rape. They are also a terrible representation of baptists.

I’m pretty sure murder & rape are the main reasons.

What role did the basketball team have including players, coaches, trainers etc.

BanjoCharley · 04-06-2021, 12:01 PM

WT said Baylor beating OU at football is why OU fans dislike Baylor. I pointed out the real reasons. I liked Baylor’s basketball team a lot, doesn’t mean the University isn’t a piece of sh*t.

The I guess OU is a piece of sh*t University because of the stuff that went on under Barry, right?

Such a dumb argument.

Yeah, let's hate on a LARGE group of people because of some bad things a SMALL group of people did.

thebigabd · 04-06-2021, 02:17 PM

Is the Ferrell Center kinda like the LNC? I see its from the 1980's... Is it also a non-basketball multipurpose arena? Or is it more basketball-centric?

Yes OU was a sh*t university for what they allowed & people despised OU for it.

The SMALL group of people tried to cover up a murder, said the victim paid his tuition by dealing drugs (Bliss paid it illegally), told players to lie to cops, told coaching staff to lie to cops, cops never filed charges against Bliss, hid positive drug tests, AD was told about this beforehand & did nothing.

That’s just the basketball part, now on to football. These SMALL group of individuals hid 52 accusations by 31 football players of sexual assault which got the head coach, 2 assistants, title 9 coordinator, university president, and AD to lose their jobs.

Also the women’s head basketball coach said to “knock them in the face” if someone said they wouldn’t send their daughter to Baylor.

This has all happened in the last 18 years. Jeez I wonder why people don’t like Baylor? It must be be because they won some football games.

That's a painfully easy argument to make.

You obviously don’t know him then. His players weren’t murdering and raping on campus like Baylor. He is a true gentleman and much more ethical than he gets credit for. Contrary to popular belief, he didn’t buy recruits (there’s a reason Eric Dickerson and earl campbell didn’t sign with ou).. Did he take care of his players after they became a part of the team and needed some money? Yes, absolutely. Did donors give hundred dollar handshakes? Yes, absolutely, but only after they became a part of the team. He is the same guy now that would give the shirt off his back to a stranger.

Not BFF as he is about 50 years my senior, but I do know him on a personal level. I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with him and his family when I was growing up. I will leave it at that to avoid risking my anonymity.
