Better answer: Don't care. Your priority should be the disarray of the three state "powerhouses" Self is a quisling to Tulsa. Surely you are not writing this article in fear that Self will wiggle himself back into the fold?

picker-Self has a higher winning% than Roy Williams at the same time at KU.
Gene-thanks for the laugh!
you say "don't care", but take the time to post. And taking the picker to task over this article; i suppose you don;t know that Tulsa and Bartlesville has thousands of KU alumni.

James -

Yes I have met Bill Self on occasions throughout his coaching career. There is nothing wrong with saying he is smug or pompous. You can be friendly & gracious & still be smug. And again, I was defending the coach... the loss to Texas was not a bad loss.

Self has had Final Four talent but no Final Four.

Texas? Didn't OSU about beat Texas? Overrated.

About the in-state teams, what's missing?
Players.

Will coaches ever learn? Look at all the coaches who wish they had never left -- Sampson (got a standing O upon his return to Norman!), Buzz Bomb Peterson, Tubby, Gillespie, Pvt. Second Class Knight, etc.

The grass is seldom greener. Usually the grass is fake.

Getting around to OSU's Sutton, if he's fired after two years, that's a disgrace, games should be boycotted. Three years is another matter.

Laugher...Picker clearly stated that OSU 'about' beat Texas...which means that they 'nearly' won (which means lost, in effect). How foolish does that make you look for tossing the scatology around? Reading is an art form...you brush up on it.

And that Sampson could receive a standing 'o' in Norman is disgraceful and inconceivable.

No, I don't.

That isn't where I'm employed.

Hiram: Here's what's really sad.

The people who respond to this site are the best and brightest of all the sports fans hooking up with the World.

Yesterday on the Sports Animal radio show, which is always good for a laugh, two of the Homer of the Year candidates said that they still loved former OU hoop wrecker Calvin Simpson.

Would anybody like to explain that again and again?

Hiram Glickman,
Yeah, OSU 'almost' beat Texas. A moral victory I suppose. Of course World Picker says 'moral victories are for losers'.

Kelvin Sampson is the BB coach at Indiana, not OU. So, who cares what folks think of him. Except maybe his agent, or his cell phone company.

You seem to be obsessed with him. Are you related to the World Picker or are you just one of his brown nosing minions?

Stoops gets $3 million; goes to a BCS Bowl with a $17.5 million pay out (5 times). Do the math, nit wit. Brush up on it. It is 2nd grade stuff.

Why don't you turn off the Sports Animal, get your nose out of World Picker's arse, and see what kind of profit Gundy is making for Boone State U. (Actually coaching football of course).

World Picker: you are the only Homer of the Year Canidate who can actually quote Sports Animal. You should win, easily.

Taut. Tout. Pout. Lout. World Picker. See. It's a game. You lose.

To both of you (Hiram and World Picker): Kelvin Sampson is old news. He coaches Indiana University Basketball. Only you two punks and Sports Animal seem to care about him.

(Sound of Bobby Knight laughing his a** off in the background).

World Picker should be fired and divorce Hiram and then Hiram could use his property settlement money to buy the Sports Animal. Problem solved.

How amusing. I don't think NIT PICKERS' response worthy of a reply. But I will suggest in a most compassionate way that wonderful things are being done in many mental health facilities; perhaps the Nit Picker should seek counseling if, in fact, he can persuade Lubys to give him enough time off the food service line to do it.

Nit Picker, please don't take your personal and professional frustrations out on my dear responders. It's not our fault that OU won't hire you to crank out odes to Stoops in one of those cheeseball homer publications, Stoops Illustrated, isn't that the one from which you beg for work?

Gene: Are you the horse racing Gene?

Hiram: Calvin Simpson has always been a self-promoting hambone. The true definition of an incoherent homer is one who loves somebody who ruined your basketball program.

PS: If Stoops is such a gold mine, why is the football program lucky to break even?
