Hoops #1

During the Desert era, this was the week that Sooner fans attention shifted to basketball, particularly when Coach Tubbs was leading the mens hoops squad. We would lose to Texas, and the next week would be the BillyBash, and Sooner sports fans would hope for some success on the hardwoods. Stoops and Tubbs would be a wonderful combination. Pardon me, I digress.

Anywho, the Sooners were picked #1 by the Big 12 coaches this week in a preseason poll, with defending national champion Kansas being slated for the 4th in the conference. Assuming the Brothers Griffin stay healthy, and no more ballers get stabbed at local nightclubs, the LandThieves should be in for an outstanding year. The fine folks over at stormingthefloor.com are also projecting big things for the Sooners.
