If I had a conversation with a sooner basketball fan...

by Barking Carnival Staff on Feb 21, 2009 3:15 PM CST

This is how it would probably go.

Me: Man, that Blake Griffin is something else. We'll have to double and hope for the best.

sooner: Blake Griffin's fucking good man, you can't single him, or he'll destroy you.

Me: Yeah, that's why I said we're going to have to double him.

sooner: Blake Griffin passes out of double teams and his cutting teammates are fucking awesome when they're cutting to the goal. With Blake Griffin passing to their cutting asses.

Me: Yeah, but what are you going to do? You can't let Blake Griffin beat you.

sooner: Griffin is very good at passing out of double teams to cutters. He's good at beating double teams by passing to cutters.

Me: You already said that. Several times in fact.

sooner: But if you don't double Griffin, he will fucking kill you. And your whole team. And some cheerleaders. Boomer fucking sooners texass. Damion James got paid by Sampson. He left because Capel wouldn't pay him.

Me: (ignoring the spittle flying into my personal space) Ummmm, yes. Okay.

sooner: Griffin is a fucking bull.

Me: Yes, he is. A bull that can pass out of double teams.

sooner #2 upon overhearing our conversation: Yeah, but if Austin Johnson goes 11 for 11 from the 3 point line what you fellers is talking about is mute.

Me: Moot...

sooner #2: Who you calling moot, whorn? Austin Johnson is gonna fucking kill you and when he kills you everything else is mute.

Me: Good call. Boomer Sooner gentlemen.

Let's talk some hoops.

Whew. For a second there, I was afraid you were going to forget to have one of them say, “Whorn”.

I’m flattered.

No, you clearly have a huge potbelly? Can’t you see the pic on your 286?

How about this?

You’re a two point favorite at home. Any road win in conference is a good win. If OU doesn’t shoot well from the perimeter tonight you will beat us. If Johnson or Crocker go off we’ll win.

Five point game either way.

Is this the same thing as your post?

Trips is a tool—way to talk about gangraping 11-year old girls. It seems you know way too much about that to be objective about anything! Is that what you talk to your 6-year old about when he’s done with his homework? What a class act. You try to pass yourself off as being so insightful and all-knowing, and then you go all Frank Martin on everyone with your roid-rage rants. Get a life dude. Gangraping? Seriously? Keep up the good work Douche Ballboy!

Trips grew up in Jaurez. It’s not unusual there.

Edited for those offended by the goings on in oklahoma athletic dorms for much of the 80’s. When you lay down with dogs you get fleas. My bad.

A Texas vs. OU basketball game is like an Ali-Frazier tennis match. Sure, you hate the other guy and really want to beat his ass, but that’s just not the forum in which you truly settle your differences.

I disagree Brick. In football, the game is basically played by Texas high school all stars. Some who chose poorly, and some who chose wisely. This is more of a battle for state pride in my opinion. I mean, only 40% of ou’s starters are from Texas. Not the 90% you see in football.
