"Historically, OU doesn't pay their basketball coach 'that kind of money'"

[MU B2002]

Is that even a rumor?  Just another article stating a writer's opinion.



I heard last night from a source within the university that Buzz is staying. 

And by within the university I mean a fellow grad that I just to drink Jack Daniels with...

I just like how in the video they pretty much ruled out Buzz as a candidate but in his "Final Four" they have him winning it? I doubt those two know what they are talking about.

I will give it to these commentators credit for not to speculating but looking at facts.

They did forget Buzz's large buyout in his contract as well. 

As time keeps progressing you can see Oklahoma losing potential and if mike Anderson goes to Arkansas I would feel very confident Buzz stays.

chico's are you just trying to stir the pot with your "rumor warnings" on these threads?  In the two you have linked, neither had a rumor attached to it.  Both had an opinion of the writer.  Neither had anything factual.

When the writer uses words like "should", then it is likely his opinion.  That is the case here and was the case with the thread you started yesterday.

Well, when the guy says he doesn't think OU will go after Williams...I thought it was worthy to post.

How are the links I posted NOT a rumor by the very definition of what a rumor is?  I don't see how this is stirring the pot.  You're right that they aren't saying things like "we hear he's signing with OU", but when they are saying he's on such and such list...that's a rumor....when they are saying things of that nature...those are rumors.

Come on chico's, you are better than that, aren't you?  It was one man's opinion, if that qualifies as a rumor, then let's say that with every opinion piece out there.  

Maybe you aren't better than that, but I would hope so.

An opinion(s) based on where a coach "might" go or who a school "might" have on their list and "might" contact....those seem like rumors to me and not just your everyday rumor.

Is this article opinion or rumor?  It even has rumor in the article's title...please explain.

I thought you were better then that accusation that I was trying to stir the pot....maybe you aren't better than that, but I would hope so.

Sorry, but you have a history, one of an antagonist (I am being kind with my choice of words).  I call 'em as I see 'em.  Hey, maybe that's a rumor, right? 

You think one man's opinion is a rumor.  O k, then I guess our board has rumors in every post. 

Whatever, have the last word.  You need it, don't you?

It seems like OU is holding out to talk to Buzz.  I think it will come down to how bad Buzz and family want to get out of Wisconsin.  We might have to make him a top 5 paid coach to keep him.

From the OU board

I wouldn't get too excited,five years ago the DO did same 64 coach thing and Capel wasn't even mentioned.
