Congrats to Colorado!

Kansas showing that creampuff scheduling doesn't really help down the stretch.

I second the congratulations. Good to see those ladies hanging tough and competing.

Thanks y'all.

I hate to lose as much as anyone, but I really haven't had anything negative to say about this year's team for two reasons.

One, like everyone else I know round these parts, I truly believe in Kathy McConnell-Miller's ability to take this program back to its glory days - and hopefully, then some.

Two, the kids have no quit in them and despite the rough going through the past two seasons it appears that they still believe they are going to win every time they step on the court.

I'm thrilled for the entire program about tonight's road win. Can't wait for Texas to get here Saturday.

BTW, what's up with you OU folks? Y'all are always the nicest fans around. (ari20dal7 I'm assuming you are a Sooner supporter, yes)?

Thanks, prof. We might be nice about women's hoops, but the football......

I can't speak for anyone else, but one of the things that's really gotten me into women's hoops the last couple years is the positive nature of the fans (when there are any). It's a game that I love with an emphasis on fundamentals and team play, as well as a competitive spirit that remains sportsmanlike. I saw that in CU when they came to Norman. They really had an opportunity to run and hide after things started going wrong early, but they never quit and did their best to compete. You can't help but respect that.

BTW, I've lived in Oklahoma most of my life and am now a grad student at OU, so it's pretty easy to be a Sooner fan Smile
