It was a good day for the Oklahoma sporting world. None of the OU underclassmen are leaving for the NFL, meaning that next year is not a rebuilding year. I think it really speaks well of the caliber of young men being recruited to OU and the atmosphere created by the coaches when the desire to remain a team overcomes the desire for big bucks a year early. On a side note, the incoming freshman receiver who was dismissed from the OU team last summer has been arrested. I wondered several times during the season what he was thinking as OU progressed through the season and he realized that he could've been part of that had he not made bad choices. It doesn't appear that introspection is one of his attributes.
The OKC Thunder is now the team we hoped they'd be at the beginning of the season. They beat a team with a winning record. Can a 2 game winning streak be far behind? They are playing well and there seems to be good team chemistry. I'm hoping in the second half of the season they will win most of the games they should win, win a few that they weren't supposed to win, but play competively in every game. Hats off to Scott Brooks, who seems to be making the most of his opportunity to be head coach.
