Porter Moser can't help but think of the movie "Taken" when discussing one of Oklahoma basketball's newest offseason additions. In the 2008 action thriller, Liam Neeson's character famously tells the film's antagonists over the phone — after his daughter is kidnapped overseas — that he has "a very particular set of skills… that make [him] a nightmare for people like you." Moser shares a similar sentiment when it comes to Oklahoma freshman forward Kuol Atak, one of the Sooners' two 2024 signees who joined the program in full this summer.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
