Here are some basketball notes for you.

OU women 121, Central Arkansas 48.

This is pitiful and somebody should be ashamed; everybody should be ashamed.

Talk about a lump of Coale in the Christmas stocking.

What could have been done?

Well, first, don't schedule anybody like this.

Next, play somebody out of the crowd.

You can't justify playing starters more than two minutes.

Next: Now it's obvious why Sean Sutton doesn't want to play his brother.

It's nonsense, all the whining about playing relatives. Part of the job is to serve the fans. Get better or get quiet.

Next: The OU coach can coach. The freshman needs a shot. He can jump over average college Joes. Without a jumper, the next level is light years away. Longar is the most improved player in the history of college basketball.

Next: Enough with the sorrow expressed over the lack of crowds at TU games. Beat somebody once in a while and people will return.

What is basketball?

It is the sport you never could play in school. You know, just like all the other sports you had to watch from the stands.

World Picker, aka, great observer of the body sport:

OU women BB v. Central Arkansas: worst scheduling faux pas since OSU men FB v. Troy State. T-Bone should be ashamed.

Would you watch OU women BB if, say, Kelvin S. were the coach? Bet not.

Maybe if TU scheduled Central Arkansas they could beat somebody. But, would they be ashamed?

Actually, your basketball notes should be written in invisible ink-they would make more sense that way.

You should be fired, but will probably hang on to the rope like Indiana Jones.

The only time I would watch women's basketball is:

If two top ten teams are playing.

Nit Picker promised to seek therapy.

World Picker: I guess you won't be watching much women's BB.

You really like watching the guys play BB, but not the women, uh?
Bet you'd love a locker room pass to the NBA games.

So, who needs therapy? You, or me?

You should be fired, but your boss would open itself up to a law suit. Pun intended.

Anyone male reading this should be ashamed. WOMEN'S BASKETBALL! YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
