OKC Eagle Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I like the 20 point lines and like making every effort to cover those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Big Al and Coach Mills.... 2.1.2023 Big Al https://p.ftur.io/kfaqam/11254 How has this team grown from when coach Mills took over? How has coach Mills grown? How satisfying is it to see the Mabee Center filled? What makes Max Abmas so draftable? Big Al is joined by ORU men’s basketball coach, Paul Mills!

Poor Al… Semi-retired in Knoxville, TN and quite literally and figuratively “phoning it in” on his show every morning. I mean, c’mon now: if Max’s name truly was pronounced “ASS-muss”, don’t you think he would have changed it by now?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Al corrected himself after hearing Coach Mills pronounce Abmas’ name correctly. It was actually a pretty good interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, c’mon now: if Max’s name truly was pronounced “ASS-muss”, don’t you think he would have changed it by now?? I've always really liked Big Al. I didn't realize he'd left Tulsa. ORU has had some GREAT radio announcers - Dave Garrett, Geoff Haxton, and currently Adam Hildebrandt all fit in that category. But I used to love the Big Al/Steve Bontrager combo - Al with his New York accent, "Obanor drives to the basket for a reverse layup - GIVE IT TO HIM AND HE'S FOULED!!" And Steve following with his commentary. Great combo. Al was also involved in my personal "life's most embarrassing moment." I've probably told that on here before, but it's been a while. Great interview. As a fan I love everything Mills had to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it doesn't sound like that big a deal now, but it was humiliating to me when it happened. It was quite a few years ago, on a Saturday morning at the Tulsa Run. My sister-in-law was running in it so we went down to cheer her on. I don't remember why, but my wife had gone somewhere else, and I was walking along a downtown street pushing one of my boys in a stroller. As I looked up the street I saw Big Al Jerkins coming down the street toward me. At the time we were watching Channel 2 news every night, and Al was something of a celebrity in my mind. Although I was totally unaware of it, I must have really been staring at him while I went along, because as I walked by him he looked at me and said, "Can I help you with something?" Or something like that. I wanted to crawl in a hole at the time, but it seems pretty funny now. If it happened today I'd probably just say, "Hi, Big Al!" Guess I'm not so easily impressed any more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Interesting night in the Summit. Three of the four ROAD teams were actually slight favorites tonight, but only one (St Thomas) was able to pull off the win. NDSU and WIU were also favored, but missed a chance to move away from the "parity pack" in the middle of the conference. Omaha now seems destined to play in the 8/9 seed tourney game on opening night, with the winner to play ORU, if the Eagles hold onto their title lead. With our close encounters with Omaha this season, I wouldn't mind seeing them in a different slot of the bracket. ORU +3 SDSU +1 NDSU - even Western - even KC - even St Thomas - even Denver -1 USD -1 Omaha -3 UND - 10 seed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
