Oklahoma (10-3, 1-0) had a late addition to the roster announced last night. Top Daug will be making his triumphant return after a 15-year hiatus when the Sooners play host to No. 3 Kansas (11-2, 1-0) on January 14.
With the news, Twitter was ablaze with nostalgic Oklahoma hoops fans.
I peaked in coolness when Top Daug came to one of my birthday parties as a child. So it’s rediculous how excited I am for this. https://t.co/IshsFvlpcx

If I had a time machine, the first place I would go to is Justin’s birthday party.

Okay, I’m kind of mad my mom never invited Top Daug to my birthday parties.
Who would’ve thought Top Daug would be back before Texas? #Sooners https://t.co/dLHOhKfG8l

Top Daug announced his comeback the same day as Sam Ehlinger. Coincidence?
What would make .@OU_MBBall game vs KU better?

The amount of late eighties, early nineties swagger in this photo is astounding.
Biggest impact on OU Basketball:
1. Return of Top Daug
2. Jordan Brand
3. Trae Young
4. Buddy Hield

Leaving Billy Tubbs off this list is a crime, but other than that, I see no flaws.

I cannot wait for the Norman spin-off of Parks & Rec to be on Netflix.

Who said great social media posts were reserved for just the football team?
Oklahoma and No.3 Kansas are set to tip-off in primetime at 8p.m. CT on a national broadcast on ESPN2. Four top-10 teams have been beaten by under-daugs in the past week. Can the Sooners deliver in Top Daug’s return home?
