Oklahoma Sooners: 2011 Exit Survey
We had high expectations for Oklahoma this season as we tabbed them #1 in our Pre-Spring Top Ten and picked them #2 when push came to shove and we put out our Pre-Season rankings. Unfortunately, the Sooners were hit with tragedy and injuries before the season even kicked off.

So close, but yet, so far. That pretty much sums up the feelings from Sooner fans after witnessing yet another single-digit loss in conference play. The Oklahoma Sooners nearly had it Tuesday against the fourth-ranked Missouri Tigers, but in the end fell, 71-68.

No. 1 Baylor 81, Oklahoma 54
Brittney Griner scored 27 points with eight rebounds and eight blocked shots to help top-ranked Baylor remain undefeated with another lopsided victory over Oklahoma, 81-54, on Monday night.
Even with Oklahoma determined to make things difficult on Griner, surrounding her with pink jerseys, Baylor's 6-foot-8 junior phenom just kept making free throws. She set a career high making...

Predicting the Oklahoma Sooners' spring depth chart
With National Signing Day now past, the next big date on the calender for the Oklahoma Sooners is the opening of spring practices in March.
Injuries and off-season attrition have left OU a bit thinner than usual across the roster. Early enrollees such as Taylor McNamara and Kasseim Everett should have the opportunity to stake an early claim on a spot in the two-deep this fall.

Oklahoma Sooners Reel in Stars in Important 2012 Recruiting Class
The Oklahoma Sooners failed to live up to preseason expectations in 2011, and by the end of the season had much bigger problems than losing games.
Players were transferring left and right, some on their own will, others asked to by coaches, and blame was being passed all around for reasons behind the disappointing season.
Needless to say, the 2012 recruiting class was a very important...

Wrapping Up Signing Day for the Sooners

Oklahoma Sooners Football: Reaction to Brent Venables’ Departure
There were countless articles and columns written about the departure of Oklahoma co-defensive coordinator Brent Venables to Clemson. Having not known Venables at all or ever spoken with him, I felt less than adequate at adding my own take on what he meant to the Sooners and how he’ll be remembered.

First, the Tulsa World’...
