JMG and Otis, we had a bunch of guys in 1978 that would sit in those same seats and "talk smack" to the opposing players. Was the first year for JL Johnson Stadium. We would be there no matter how cold it was. That is the team that went to the College World Series with Springman, Volk, Bjorkman, Meredith, etc. They called us the "Wild Bunch" and appreciated the fact that we were so enthusiastic and would show up in late February and March, when hardly anyone else would. After the Titans' (at that time) played their last game at home, they invited us all down to their locker room and shared their post game meal with us and sang a victory song for us. What a memorable time.

Those sound like great times....TheEagleman was at ORU pre-JLGJ and we used to sit on the grass at the original baseball field and fans could not only see everything as there were no dugouts but we could hear all the back and forth from the players....I remember we were playing highly rated OU in a game on a nice spring day probably 1973 and the Sooners had their stud #1 starter Jackson Todd on the mound....i think he may have been drafted by the NY Mets very high a year or two later.....can't remember who pitched for us but I wanted to see Todd pitch and it was a wonderful pitchers' duel as I recall with our clean up hitter Buddy Slemp hitting a huge HR late to win the game I think 3-2 or 2-1 something like that.....wish we had JLJ but that wasn't built until after TheEagleman graduated in 1976....

McBride looks good. So good to see ORU recruiting athletes we wouldn't have gotten previously!

It appears he can create his own shot, and then elevate to shoot. I will take that over some flat-footed-can’t-get-his-shot-off-against-athletic-defenders-Rotnei-Clarke-type any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
