Tiny Gallon sends out the decade with a bang

Tiny Gallon sends out the decade with a bang

And the first post on CHJ in the new decade deals with something I wasn't quite sure, due to advancements in technology, we'd ever see again. The ironically, aptly-named Tiny Gallon caused many a text to be sent (at least to me) after he broke the backboard during Thursday night's Gonzaga-Oklahoma game. I'm pretty sure CHJ is the first site to have this video up and going, but if you're seeing ... Read More

Tisdale Left His Mark in Two Worlds

Tisdale Left His Mark in Two Worlds

It's sometimes impossible to ignore the symbolism in life. As one great Oklahoma Sooner prepares to enter into a life in the spotlight of the NBA, another, who stepped away from it some time ago, has left the mortal coil. After a battle with cancer, Wayman Tisdale died, as you've heard by now, Friday morning. I never got to see Wayman Tisdale play. But he's one of those college greats who you just ... Read More

Sweet 16 Preview: Oklahoma-Syracuse

Sweet 16 Preview: Oklahoma-Syracuse

What to Look For: Everyone's been talking about Syracuse's zone as if it could cause this big conundrum for Oklahoma. Perhaps these people haven't seen this zone fail to the point where Jim Boeheim went — gasp — man-to-man for 15-minute stretches this season. I'm looking at how well Arinze Onuaku and Rick Jackson play against the Griffin brothers, who have this tag-team WWE feel to them. And that's a ... Read More

Time For Schools to Whore Themselves Out to ESPN

Time For Schools to Whore Themselves Out to ESPN

Let's be real: ESPN put its cameras behind the bubble team that is the Oklahoma Sooners with the perception that they'd beat Nebraska and have a nice little piece of video to show how a team really comes together amidst the craziness of this month. Well, Oklahoma lost, and it makes for a much better segment. It's a few days old, but it's a good watch. Jeff Capel looks an eventual ... Read More

<em>The Student Section Supports: Oklahoma @ Baylor</em>

For those new to the site, this “The Student Section Supports” segment takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be a surprising upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. Here's what ... Read More
