Take note of how quick the pivot was. Last night on the blitz @DeanBlevins interviewed #Sooners head coach Patty Gasso and the response when asked about Jordy Bahl was spun a different direction. @NEWS9

Brent Venables seemed to get a little choked up talking about Damond Harmon. "He's had a history of some back issues but the surgeon seemed to think his neck was stable." #Sooners.

Figured a couple of @OUNightly seniors deserved a shout out. They're best known for their roles on the football team, but on the weekdays they're a part of our team. Congratulations to @JadenKnowles2 & @reedlindsey12.

Let's go back to that electric Peyton Bowen sack in the 4th quarter yesterday. The freshman DB said postgame that it was his first sack EVER and that he was "confused once I got it." ๐ #Sooners

Dean gave me a chance out of college. Hiring a 22 year old to do sports in OKC doesn't happen often. He believed in me then and still does now. For that, I'll be forever grateful. Congratulations on retirement Deano! @DeanBlevins.
After 28 years at News 9 and over 40 in sports broadcasting, our legendary Sports Director, Dean Blevins, is retiring. From his days as an OU quarterback to becoming a Hall of Fame journalist, Dean has been a cornerstone of Oklahoma sports.

My friends, a defensive rotation that has Lu Dort, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace on the perimeter with Chet Holmgren backing them up is insane. Stifling defense being built in OKC. #ThunderUp.

This was my angle of the situation for @NEWS9. I'll let you be the judge on if you see a clear indication for a timeout before the ball hits the floor.
ESPN Sources: Portland is filing a protest with the league office to challenge result of 111-109 loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday. With 109-108 lead, Portland contends Chauncey Billups was clearly calling timeout prior to official whistling a Blazers double-dribble with 15.6.

Week 3's @BobHurleyRV Athlete of the Week is @Blanchard_FB WR Brayson Carter. The senior leader posted 170 yds and 3 TDs in the Lions win over Guthrie, but who he is outside the lines may be even more impressive. @brayson_carter @NEWS9 #OKPreps

Definitely one of the craziest stories you'll see/hear this year. It takes a special athlete to do stuff like this. Doesn't even mention that @brooklinbain_ & @OCeaglesSB are in action again in Laredo tomorrow.
๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!. Yesterday morning @brooklinbain_ was the leadoff hitter for @oceaglessb and went 2-4 with an RBI and a stolen base! . Last night Bain scored a team-high 15 points to lead the @ocladyeagles past UAFS to end the season on a three-game winning

The @okcblue's "yelling stuff" is up there with the Thunder's postgame barks. Not sure which one I think is better. A lot of "yelling stuff" after the Blue win the 2023-24 G-League title.

If I'm not mistaken, Porter Moser's technical today against the Mountaineers is the first for an OU head coach since Jeff Capel received a tech in the Feb. 5th 2011 Bedlam game. #Sooners. Lon Kruger is/was a saint.

I feel like I'm seeing a trend in the recent #Sooners head coaching hires. Brent Venables, Porter Moser and Jennie Baranczyk. All high-energy, program-first coaches. I like the culture these coaches will build. Let's call it "run through a wall culture", shall we?.

A really big road victory has @LadyTigerWBB in the driver's seat for district supremacy. Key to the win:.- 27 points from @mathurin2025.- Four 3's from @dolan_25 .- Only 16 pts allowed in the 2nd half. BA vs. Jenks up next. Friday night on @ArrowVisionBA (@batigersports).

Story time: I was the guy at the entrance handing out programs as people walked in that night. After the game was canceled, I was still standing by the doors with them in hand. I started saying, "You might want one of these to say that you were here." I, of course, kept one too.
Two days after this video, I was in Oklahoma on my senior year spring break to see my first NBA game ever. Didnโt get to watch the game obviously, but got a program from the game that shut the world down. Pretty cool piece of history at least.
