We definitely have our issues - and believe me I am just as frustrated as you with the way things are going not only in Oklahoma, but in a large part of America. Just trust me that there a lot of great people here trying to do positive things and make OK better. Believe it or not - it has some wonderful attributes. It is still a relatively young state, that doesn't have a ton of wealth, and education has always been a huge issue.
Oklahoma State is still a mecca for college wrestling. THe B1G is by far and away the best wrestling conference in the country and it is not close. The old Big 8 used to be but Title IX hurt a lot of those schools, and they dropped their programs.
I am excited for the sports future however. ESPN is doing a pretty good job with the NCAA tournament, and I think the B1G Network has done a good job. (Just need more matches that aren't on BTN rather than BTN+) The recent rise of programs like Penn State and ohio state is great for the sport. I had the pleasure of touring the UM wrestling facility last time I was in AA. It is amazing. Recruiting should pick up for UM, as it would be a fantastic place to wrestle. I see nothing but upside for Michigan wrestling. This B1G tourney was a great outing for the Wolverines.
The police haven't released the surveillance video, but it does indeed exist. This guy should be gone - but in all likelihood won't be. That's how OU rolls. It's sickening.
