Oklahoma notebook: Frank Shannon's playing time will increase

“Texas fight, Texas fight,” doesn't sound so bad to guard Adam Shead.

That's because his alma mater, Cedar Hill High School in south Dallas, used it as the melody for its fight song.

“I know it well,” Shead said. Then he sang a couple lines, so the media could hear the similarity between it.

“Cedar Hill, Cedar Hill, we're the home of the red and white,” Shead sang. “We changed it up a bit, but it's tight though.”

This week, Shead caught himself singing the Cedar Hill version in practice, when coaches blared the Longhorns' fight song on loudspeakers.

MEN'S HOOPS TO LIVE STREAM PRACTICE

OU announced Wednesday that it will live stream men's basketball practices daily; it is believed to be the first NCAA Division I program to do so.

The live streaming represents another level of transparency under second-year coach Lon Kruger, who last season made all practices open to the public. Oklahoma's first practice is Friday, and it will be live streamed with audio.

Practices during the week begin at 2 p.m., lasting for about two-and-a-half hours. Coaches may decide to make specific parts of practices unavailable for online viewing.
