Re: "They were big but We were Fast"

I was in HS at the time and had to leave for my job right after we scored to to cut it to 28-26,listened to the ending on radio.

Re: Does Candry sign with OU?

Re: Interesting Concept.....Agree or Not with Mike?

Win the 5 you are supposed to win and go 4-3 in the 7 tossups gets you to 9-3 . I could live with that as long as we beat UT and the Missou Puss....Tigers .

Re: What is your real gut feel about 2024?

I am drinking the Gasso Crimson Koolaid .While I think we can win the SEC and will make the NCAA tourney ,I think 8-10 losses for reloading team is likely .My expectations on loss totals downshift to 4-5 if we land Cannady. IF OUr young talent and largely unproven pitchers play up to PG standards ...
