NORMAN, Okla. -- No. 4 Oklahoma proved worthy of its preseason hype by setting records en route to a 132-36 exhibition victory over Division II Western State College of Colorado Thursday night.

Seven Sooners reached double figures as Oklahoma dismantled Western State in front of 6,097 fans at the Lloyd Noble Center. Junior forward Nyeshia Stevenson came off the bench to score a collegiate-best and game-leading 20 points as OU set program records for points scored and margin of victory.

Courtney Paris recorded her customary double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds, but team co-captain Thompson had the most complete night, totaling 18 points on 8-for-11 field-goal shooting, seven rebounds, six steals, four assists and zero turnovers.

The final exhibition game is at the Lloyd Noble Center, Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 7 p.m. against Oklahoma Christian.

Josh Jarboe free style rap making the rounds on the internet.

This was posted in the FanShots section and while I debated if I should put it on the front page or not I really wanted to know opinions on the issue. I think it was a huge mistake for him to not only get on video but to do the rap itself. I was disappointed when Jarboe made it on campus and I had hoped that I was wrong about his thug mentality. Looks like I wasn't.

Johnson Moving Outside

According to the Oklahoman, Kevin Wilson is looking to move Manuel Johnson outside from the slot reciever. The only apparent downside, as the article mentions, appears to be Johnson's lack of height.

Women's Rowing Update

SoonerDutch — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 05:46:07 -0000

NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma has named Leeanne Crain as the first head coach of its new rowing program. Crain has spent the last four seasons as head coach at the University of Central Florida, following a 10-year stint as coach at the University of San Diego.

Crain's appointment was announced Wednesday by OU Vice President for Sports Programs and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione. Oklahoma's varsity women's rowing program will begin competing in the spring of 2009.

"Today's announcement underlines the importance of rowing as a new varsity sport at OU," said University President David L. Boren. "Coach Crain has established herself as one of the best rowing coaches in the nation. As the new team is being put together, we will also soon begin construction on the new Aubrey McClendon OU Boathouse along the race course of the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City."

The new coach appreciates her selection as the inaugural coach, especially in the Oklahoma City market."

"I am thrilled to be given this tremendous opportunity as the first head coach of the women's rowing program at the University of Oklahoma," Crain said. "There is so much excitement in the rowing community over the revitalization of Oklahoma City's Bricktown and the rowing venue that is being planned along the riverfront. I am grateful to Joe Castiglione for his trust in my abilities to build a national championship rowing program at OU. I am anxious to get underway."
