08:15 AM ET 04.29 | Oklahoma may be a team on the rise in 2011-2012. Most believe new OU men's basketball coach Lon Kruger will need at least one more season before the Sooners realistically are an NCAA Tournament contender. But since he was hired three weeks ago, Kruger has signed three players, including two junior college prospects that could make the Sooners one of the conference's surprise teams his debut season in Norman. Sam Grooms, a Juco point guard from Chipola (Fla.), will compete for the starting job. Later this week Casey Arent, a 6-10 Juco center from Sierra (Calif.) will officially sign. Arent gives the Sooners a big man they need after starting four guards last season. The biggest impact will be the addition of forward Romero Osby, an inside-outside weapon who sat out last season after transferring from Mississippi State.

So is OU the replacement for you guys this coming year? Hey, with all new guys who knows, they may turn out better at the end of the year instead of the other way around. See, there is always something good to look forward to.

Cleveland will win the wild card. Now you can concentrate on football.

I actually haven't shown any interest in baseball this year, other than watching a couple of innings of opening day. I like seeing a game live, but baseball on tv has become absolutely horrendous for me.

Will reality show up before or after the fans do?

Excellent question. I keep looking at the attendance in the box score every night wondering the same thing. 9,000 to 10,000 (20% capacity) don't cut it. I think they will fade before the fans show up. Weather has been pretty good in Cleveland too, so it is definitely incredulity that has set in.

Sometimes people aren't comfortable in situations they're unfamiliar with. Cubs games are well attended because losing makes us comfortable.
