I can't believe we are headed to the Sweet 16! Amidst my celebration I am thinking about next season...that's what discussion boards are for right?
I have a hard time believing we won't be a pre season top 25 ranking next year! To me, this is really important because it sells tix, increases early season and pre season media coverage...and helps with 2014 and beyond recruiting.
So many things will build off this flywheel victory tonight! Really happy!
I do, however, now believe Groce might be gone given the increased media attention this will derive. It will also boost his stock immeasurably.
As the original ticket holder #7 in the Ozone (D. Lowe was #1) my hat goes off to the team and coaching staff! Thank you for making the last 14 years of OU bball fandom worth it!
I hope hope HOOOOPPPEEEE he's back (I offered him and his family use of my donate-able organs should he stay another year, and should the need arise, on another thread) but the man is on OHIO legend, 2012-13 or not. I've liked him since his first game a couple years ago, but nothing else need be said after he choked up during the on-court interview following the Michigan game. John Groce = Class Act.
