Sooners...or later.

"I hate losing."

The words of Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel. Who doesn't? I've never in my life heard anyone say, "I love losing! It's awesome!"

Currently ranked third, and number two by some aforementioned pollsters, Oklahoma is in the hot seat after their second defeat Monday night against Kansas. The loss comes after the Sooners' star, Blake Griffin, suffered a knock in the head. He missed the second half of the Texas game Saturday, and failed to suit up Monday.

It looks like the Jayhawks are on their way to a conference title, and coach Bill Self might just earn himself a little coach of the year. No big deal. Especially when it's rumored to be a unanimous decision.

Although the Sooners waddled home with their tails between their legs last night, I think they learned a valuable lesson in team effort. Griffin can't carry your game. Look what happens when he's not there. Great game, but not great enough. We'll see what Oklahoma picked up in class last night when they face off Colorado Wednesday night in Boulder.
