I honestly don't have an issue with the Institution of ORU as it is a wonderful place. I have forgiven the people who I felt did not handle situations in a honest and fair manner and most of those people are no longer at ORU. I will be honest and tell you it took years for me to do this as these weren't petty transgressions but I was able to truly forgive them. With all that being said the main reason I have not been around the program is my previous job required me to travel 40wks a year and I simply didn't have the time. I am open to being involved with the program in the future if the right opportunity presents itself.

I saw Bill Self at the Thunder game last night talking to some press folks and Cole Aldridge. I said hi told him I was an ORU grad and thanked him for turning ORU around and for hiring Scott Sutton. He talked to me for about a minute and was very nice. He mentioned that he is still in contact with Earl McClellan and James Kruse. I had just heard earlier that day that James Kruse is the new youth pastor at Church on the Move so I was able to share that with Bill and now with those of you who had not heard. Apparently, the ministry is what James really wanted to do. Last I checked, his brother Matt was a pastor in the Boston area.

The level of how bizarre that article was smells of a cover up!! Ha, it don't seem right because it isn't right. I can promise you my conversations with Bill Self and Nolan did not happen the way the article portrayed. This is the story that Bill and Nolan wanted the public to hear which is understandable for Nolan as he was in the middle of NCAA investigation so publicly he needed to distance himself from any negative media. Coach self was just being Coach self, he had a saying referring to the media that he could sell ice to an Eskimo. I won't say more than that as it is old news at this point.

We (the fans) need you involved.
