I ran into a longtime Sooner fan the other day who. like yours truly, has gone westward for the winter. I mentioned to him how difficult is has been this winter to see the Sooner men’s struggles and growing pains on the hardwood. He looked at me with a “are you kidding me?” expression on his face, then proceeded to inform me that no one really cares about OU basketball when football upholds its rightful and proud position as king of Sooner athletics.
Well, believe what you will, but the truth is, fans of Oklahoma athletics are like sports fans everywhere.
