NORMAN, Okla. -- Courtney Paris watches a lot of HGTV when she can. She's a homebody, an introspective person who writes fiction, notices small things of beauty and isn't interested in her press clippings (which could take a long, long time to read).
A "fun" weekend for her would be spent sprucing up the house in Norman that she shares with Ashley, her twin and an Oklahoma women's basketball teammate. That's where HGTV comes in handy, giving her ideas about shapes and colors and designs.
Courtney Paris has amassed 61 consecutive double-doubles. But don't get caught up just watching the numbers accumulate.
She doesn't need or even particularly enjoy being "out on the town," knowing everyone in this Sooners-crazy city recognizes her. That's a status usually bestowed on those who tuck, toss or tackle on the OU football field, something many of them over the decades have found exhilarating and affirming: "Yes, I'm the big man on campus."
