OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS

@brooksmd brooks!!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 (rofl)
-
@brooksmd When I was 21 I was engaged to a very pretty, long legged barrel racer. Her Dad had been a horseback deputy in Idaho. Yes sir, the memories for sure.
-
@globaljaybird would that be the present mrs global?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Uh…no ma’am.
-
@globaljaybird oops!!!
-
@JayHawkFanToo Wasn’t it Fred White (announcer) who used to call him that? Fred was one of my most favorite guys. I miss him doing play by play. If it were up to me he’d be in Cooperstown right there with Denny Mathews. JMO
-
@globaljaybird Me thinks @Crimsonorblue22 is trying to keep us under control. When she gets to be our age she’ll understand the simple things in life like reminiscing. (giggle)
-
@brooksmd you guys make me laugh! Thanks!!!
-
@globaljaybird
I seem to recall that was his nickname; on the other hand we had “Sir” Richard Scott…
-
-
Anyone think Coach would try some junk defenses? Don’t remember how many pts forte had last year, but the game was intense, a few technicals, etc. If I remember right, we were up quite a few and let them back in. We have lots of weapons to throw at them, should be fun!!
-
The first game in Lawrence was indeed very intense game and KU won by 2 after leading at half by 17. There were 6 technical or flagrant fouls. Here is a link to the game recap. OSU won the return game in Stillwater 72-65 and prevent #5 KU from winning the conference title outright.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I was at the game, so exciting. Wasn’t that the infamous flagrant 1 on Selden? The game at osu was a real low for us. Tharpe getting hit in the head
! It was satisfying to beat them in a tough draw for the tourney, w/out Embiid!
-
We will be behind in this game probably several times. I won’t worry as long as we keep it close.
-
Sometimes, the man guarding Forte will have to fight through 5 or 6 different screens.
It seems like he’s been there for ever. Coach will have something special to stop him. He won’t make every one and we have to be ready for the long rebounds.
-
@wrwlumpy “it seems like he’s been there forever” ha ha! Who was the short dude before him? Those 2 and heslip seemed to be there forever!!! They sure didn’t beat us very many times! I’ve never thought one hot hand could beat a team.
-
Coach Self should place a call to his friend Frank Martin at South Carolina, they held Forte to 1-10 from the 3 and 1-14 overall for a total of 5 points and won comfortably 75-49. Just sayin’
-
That was Keiton Page, the original Smurf on Steroids; Forte is the Smurf on Steroids Part Deux.
-
@JayHawkFanToo who do you think will guard who? Selden could post one of those guards up, guess oubre too. Doesn’t osu play some zone?
-
@JayHawkFanToo I swear, I saw another short guy on the bench that reminded me of both of them. A3rd perhaps?
-
Anthony Hickey is 5’-11" senior guard (28. mpg, 9.3 ppg) and Tyree Griffin a 5’-10 freshman guard (10.1mpg, 1.3 ppg). Forte, a junior, is listed at 5’-11" (33 mpg, 17.7 ppg). No question that Travis Ford, (5’-9" ) favors and has had good success with short guards like himself.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 : I was going to say you must be thinking of Ford.
-
The kid I saw was a small white kid, clone to the other 2. He didn’t play.
-
Maybe it was a walk-on or something. They have a couple of guys that sit on the end of the bench that are listed as 6’2" so they’re probably about 5’10".
-
The closest (white kid) would be Ford Stuen, a 6’-2" junior guard (2mpg, 1.2ppg)
-
@JayHawkFanToo could be, just saw him coaching up forte during a time out.
