Skip Johnson's message to Oklahoma fans ahead of the College World Series Finals:
"Have the whole state that are Sooners to come up here."
"It's bigger than us. It really is. It's really about our state. It's really about being an OU Sooner. It's about all those details, being thankful, the president was here. We had Barry Switzer here. We had Bob Stoops, Jennie Baranczyk -- Trish, Toby Keith's wife was here. I hadn't seen her in a long time. And it brings tears to my eyes. And Josie and Roger Denny, I mean, John Mateer, our quarterback. I mean that's what's being an OU Sooner is about. It's about being a family. And the more those people can get up here and get it going, the better it is."
#Sooners:
Oklahoma's run to the national championship is insane.
Since trailing Georgia Tech 8-2 in 1st game of regional final... they swept:
ACC regular season and tournament champ
Big 12 regular season and tournament champ
SEC regular season and tournament champ

Oklahoma's LJ Mercurius was reading the book "Stay Calm and Trust God" to relax his nerves while his little brother and freshman Xander Mercurius was pitching in the biggest game of his life in Omaha. 😅
Team chemistry over everything.
From the signature postgame interview huddles to celebrating each other’s success, the Thunder embody a family atmosphere on and off the court 🐶🤝
Reality check: We aren’t "getting healthy." The 2 players out: are out. They won’t be at full capacity even if they return. We’ll lose 3 games in a row if players not named Shai don’t step up. Only 2 players in double digits through 3 quarters tonight. That’s not depth.
"His locker is right next to mine... He's just a good dude. Regardless of where we're at he's always having a good time and he always brightens whatever room he's in."

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".
