North Texas vs. Oklahoma is about to come on MASN2. This is a chance to see Vertrail Vaughns playing for his new squad and also a chance to watch an upcoming OOC opponent in Oklahoma.
I'm watching the North Texas vs. Oklahoma game. Dear god I don't miss Vertrail driving into the lane out of control. He's turned it over at least 3 times already. But hey, the kid hustled and knocked down some threes, and then he didn't. Oklahoma looks pretty good. Definitely going to be a tough game at the BB&T.

I don't know if this has been stated anywhere but does anyone know where "Tee Shirt Guy" has been? I haven't seen him this season yet. Not that it matters that much since it's pretty funny watching the male cheerleader throw like well...a cheerleader.
I saw Brett Blizzard working the counter at Dairy Queen last night. I asked him for a Sea Chicken Blizzard and he said they were all out.
