They're the worst. They just love playing "Let me hear you clap your hands" over and over AND OVER.

OKC's white bread fanbase is the worst and I cannot wait for them to finally suck again so we all know just how GREAT that fanbase truly is.

Pastner's fault.

I blame Cal for not letting RC get the big boosters to donate to football

Cal took our fans to UK.

Brookhaven Pub type fans?

What's wrong with Brookhaven?

If they hated Memphis, they would prevent us from being invited into the Big12 . . . oh, wait . . .

It'll take a few years. Westbrook is still there and he'll keep hem relevant. And they seem to know how to draft, unlike the grizz. But you're right, they are not the avid fan base that they are put up to be. Chesapeake energy buys hordes of tickets and gives them away.

Nah, unlike a lot of this board, I can separate coaching from recruiting.

I have been highly critical of his 2016 efforts on the recruiting trail and complimentary of his 2017 efforts.

Have not seen his product on the court yet though - but...this is the roster he has chosen so his team next year is fair game. Will be interesting to see how/if they improve as the season goes on and with not a very challenging schedule overall what the end result is.

I used to travel to Klamath Falls. The airport has F-15's all along the runway. Interesting country out there. Bunch of independent cowboy-types. Crater Lake is beautiful.

Nothing that I know of

But the very wealthy owner has continued his close friendship with Cal ..........

Does he have to Spell it out for you?

U of M boosters confident of continued momentum, another Power 5 push

Sad to say, I haven't been to Crater Lake, and it's only a couple hours away. Klamath Falls is definitely stranger than the towns off I-5. lol.

As for independent cowboy types...you nailed it. I have a friend fixing to marry one of those rancher/cowboy guys.

Not sure how it looked or sounded on tv.

In person the crowd was very loud and active. Forced timeouts and delays. The players committed on the crowd in post game.

The crowd had a chance to do on their hands during the first half performance but instead reacted with strong support and enthusiasm.

Westbrook, Ebaka, and Adams are great picks. Durant was obvious and they only took Harden because we kept them from getting Thabeet.

We busted with Thabeet and Mayo was a good pick that looked bad against an overrated Kevin Love. To be honest, we have just been starcrossed with positioning. Always a spot or two below where we needed to be. Except the Thabeet draft which will have three or four hall of famers (and that's where the OJ trade hurts you. If we have Love, it's easier to convince Heisley we need Harden or maybe Curry).
