What do you read
Below you find the top viewed stories from the Daily Oklahoman earlier today. This is about 16 hours after the Sooners advanced to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tourney. Of course, what's drivingthe readership at NewsOk.comis 1) a football recuruit's arrest on an array of charges, 2) the overhyped weather; 3) finally an articleabout the Sooners defeat of the Saltine Warriors.
It's those little things that sometimes makes a coach's eyes wander...I'll never get the attention here that I could somewhere else, etc.
For example, if Capel goes to Virginia, how long before he's king of the athletic department and perhaps the state? 2-3 hours and he's light years ahead of Al Groh.
Sooners were people that left early in the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889. Boomers were a group of citizens that had illegally entered Indian Territory earlier in the 80s in an effort to open it up for white settlement. (A special shout out to Rob M for the correction.) For some reason, my blessed alma mater chose the nickname Sooners for the name of the athletic teams. Some of our foes refer to us as LandThieves, since a Sooner is someone who cheated and got to the land before they were supposed to. For some reason, the tagline, "Sooners, cheating since 1889" has never caught on. At least we're not the Oklahoma Thunder or Wind.
