Romero Osby transferring to OU
« on: May 18, 2010, 02:16:32 PM »
Mississippi St. exile headed to Norman. Say what you will about Capel, but that guy can really persuade talent to come play for him. It's that "getting the talent to play together" aspect he's had trouble with.

add "getting his players not to hang out with agents" to the list of things Capel has also had trouble with.


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

He's done a fantastic job 3 out of 4 seasons at OU.

last year was weird.

He basically inherited Griffin because of his bro.  He gets too much credit for landing him and subsequently getting him to play an extra season.

Capel: 19-29 in the Big 12 in years when Blake Griffin isn't taken #1 overall in the NBA draft.   FFAAAANNNTASTIC!!!

All he had to do was fart and he would get Griffin...it'd be like a future #1 draft pick playing in Junction City (lol) and grew up a KSU fan, all Frank would have to do would to shake his hand while browsing in Wal-Mart and he's a Cat.

The only good thing for Capel is that once football season starts, nobody in Norman gives 2 shits about basketball anymore.

It's as valid as saying he's sucked when the best player in the country wasn't on his team though.  You can make the data show whatever you want it to show when you start taking out data that doesn't fit your preconceived conclusion.  In four years at OU he is .500.  He's a .500 coach.

Pretty much.  Gotta admit, Rusty's Capel admiration is a bit weird.

On Wikipedia about Capel.......


in his 5th year at Oklahoma the Pooners finished 0-65, the worst score in OU history.
