Charles Barkley: "I think we need to all pray for Wemby."
Kenny Smith: "Why?"
Barkley: "Because he can't play too many minutes, they are gonna kill him out there."
Smith: "You're joking."
Barkley: "I'm damn sure joking 'cause you guys -- these people, they are pissing me off. I'm watching the whole games.
They (OKC) ain't playing dirty, and I'm like: 'These are some of the softest fouls I've ever seen in my life'
You got these clowns on TV talking about: "They are gonna hurt poor Wemby."
I was like: 'Hurt him? Are you really kidding, man?'
It drives me crazy watching these shows".

UPDATE @OU_Football fans: NCAA has denied Owen Heinecke's petition for another year at OU. When other players are being granted 7th and 8th years of football, CFB governing body has ruled Owen won't get a 4th year. Evidently, this walk-on's three games of lacrosse at Ohio State in 2021 couldn't be reconciled.
There will be an appeal.
If that appeal is denied, one lucky NFL team is going to get a stud two-contract player and an even better human being.
Love everything you're about, Owen.
You stand for everything that is pure and great about college football, @HeineckeOwen! 🤝🫡
The rhetoric that Oklahoma didn’t belong in the College Football MUST END.
This team won 10 games, including 5 ranked opponents.
They are the ONLY team to defeat Alabama at home under Kalen DeBoer.
And they are ONLY GETTING STARTED!
@statmuse Find a new narrative to push.
Here’s an idea: Find a way to guard him OR stop fouling him if you’re so worried about the amount of fts he shoots
42 years ago today: The Day The Pride Won Bedlam.
Trailing Oklahoma State 20-3 in the fourth quarter, band director Gene Thrailkill was escorted off the field by Stillwater Police for not having a sideline pass.
Thrailkill told the Pride to "start playing and don't stop until we're ahead!"
It’s estimated The Pride played “Boomer Sooner” around 300 times that day. It helped rally OU for an unforgettable 21-20 come-from-behind win.
After the game, Barry Switzer awarded a game ball to The Pride.
