Don't forget our OU Sooners!

[ou48A]

Hmm.

And what about it?

[ou48A]

And what does this have to do with the original argument? If you want to start a thread on why you think OU is supreme over all others then go do it. Otherwise I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Wow…. is there something about the truth that threatens you. Your response really shows your insecurities coming out in you.

The reason why I posted this information was because there was previous speculation about the money involved and this introduces facts into the discussion.

I think the reason WWLS sent someone to the Fiesta Bowl and not the Insight Bowl is because it was the Fiesta Bowl and the Insight Bowl. Who gives two nickels about the Insight Bowl? That is why so many consider a 10-3 season a waste, because the Sooners played in a throw away bowl game.

There were thousands of OU fans at this Bowl game. This is more than attended a few other previous OU bowl games that WWLS did cover with full time on air employees. There are still many people who care. But never the less it’s a very poor reflection on WWLS to have not sent a full time on air show host and it’s an indication of how they feel about OU. They could very easily paid their employees expenses for 2 or 3 extra days and covered both games with full time on air host.


PS: but for what it’s worth I have stopped listing to 99% + of WWLS programing.
WWLS has gradually become a fairly poor product no matter what team you root for.

I have a hard time seeing any insecurity in my post, I'm just pointing out that you continue to throw out things that have nothing to do with the original argument, which was more about thunder vs ou.

And it's funny how you point out other fans so called insecurities when your posts ooze insecurity. It's like your life is incomplete until you get everyone to say ou is the greatest thing in state history.

Not only do you have issues of insecurity you are have comprehension issues.
This thread has taken several different directions and OU’s money was previously discussed by others.

I posted facts about money and not speculation as others had done.
The fact that you would even take issue with known facts shows your insecurities and lack of comprehension that seems to be growing with every post you make.

Can we please stop pulling numbers out of thin air? 2-1, 4-1? These are total guesses. And OU fans outnumber Thunder fans 2-1? Come on. You do realize that Thunder gets support from nearly all Oklahomans, regardless of collegiate allegiance? OSU fans, Tulsa fans, Arkansas fans, and yes, OU fans mostly all support the Thunder.

But whatever, back to the OP. What are we forgetting about OU right now? A mediocre baseball team? Golf, Tennis? The Thunder are in the midst of beating the defending champions right now in the first round of the playoffs. What else do you expect? Another detailed look into the surprise players of spring football? Maybe you should subscribe to the OU student newspaper.

just an update .. to this ... the numbers don't lie ...... the biggest game in thunder history got a 34 rating ... about the same as OU fsu last season ...

OU uf national championship game got a 50.0 rating in okc and a 48 in tulsa ....

and nationally OU football is more relevant (as is all major college football vs NBA) as college football national championship always gets better ratings then the finals

You are living in a DREAM WORLD if you think college football is bigger than the NBA...... Hardly anyone in the rest of the world, the majority of the Planet...knows much about college football. Now lets see how many TV sets are tuned into the NBA Finals world wide (3 stations are carrying in China BTW) compared to amature athletics.....

You are losing credibility quickly on this subject...The mayor (or a former mayor) was in Turkey earlier this year and they were all over him about the Thunder and KD.....you could count on one hand the number of people in Turkey who knows who Bob Stoops is......


Also, I watched the Thunder - Lakers Game 3 on a cruise ship out in the middle of the mediterranean a couple of weeks back.......not sure if those types of stations get pulled into the number ratings, or the China numbers.....???

I think one needs to define the geographic entity to make your arguement. In the State of Oklahoma, OU football trumps the Thunder. Nationally, based on tv ratings, college football trumps the NBA, MLB, and NHL. Internationally, the NBA trumps American style football, but the NBA does not even come close to the interest of the the World Cup.

This. Reading is important. NATIONALLY. KEY WORD

Leave it to some OU fans to whine at a time like this.

Why don't any of you look outside, go eat out or something, or drive around town and count car flags, and tell me which sport/team has more support.

I'll be doing my best to not forget about OU football's disappointing season. Hell, the last championship they won was 12 years ago.

The number of flags are going to be skewed either way when one is at the championship/finals and the other is still doing pre-season drills.

[ou48A]

In a few years it will be interesting to see how much enthusiasm remains for the Thunder when players age, become free agents and then when the draft creates its parity. Other things like the newness wearing off and a decline in the price of oil would also have an impact.
I can only imagine what the reaction will be when the inevitable rumors occur about the franchise being sold and moved to a different market?

[Easy180]

I am just glad the Thunder are around for some of us to have this argument

This........................ couldn't even sell out the Insight Bowl.......that just shows the kind of draw they now have nationally.

Every time a car gets it's Thunder flags, some Sooner fan out there grows more and more butthurt.

Please see my post number 72 under the NBA Finals thread. Trying to represent things as a Sooners vs. Thunder thing is just silly.

[bretthexum]

I find this hilarious. I mean REALLY? Are there actual OU fans that would not wear orange at a Thunder game because OSU wears orange? Get a life people!

And the Thunder organization has obviously decided against it so it's time for people who are pushing for that to get over it.

Someone needs to put together one of those lists of important inventions and pop culture moments that have occurred since OU won that championship.

You know, things like the iPod, the first OSU plane crash, September 11, Xbox, the death of Saddam Hussein, the iPhone, the first black president, and the entire run of Arrested Development. Stuff like that.

Several major comets lol..

As an OU alumnus and huge supporter, I must admit that this thread is the most worthless waste of time of any thread not in the politics section I've read on this board. Thunder up!

[SoonerBoy18]

Who would get so upset when a car has more Thunder decal than Sooners? Lol i personally want to see more Thunder stickers on the back window of cars, and more upside down Longhorn stickers.
