Blake Griffin Remembers Influential Tisdale

Blake Griffin, Oklahoma forward (2008-09):

"This is obviously a sad day, not just for Sooner fans but for anybody who knows Wayman, knows the kind of person he is, the joy he brings into people's lives and the example he is to everybody.  I was privileged to get to know him over the two years I was at OU.  I spoke with him pretty frequently this past season and he helped me in ways he probably doesn't even know.  He's touched so many lives.  I'm just happy he's going to a better place."
