Dalton Wood Now WILL Report To Football Program
Posted on: June 3, 2015
It would appear as though logic did prevail as there are now multiple reports that OU 2015 signee Dalton Wood will now report to campus and the football program.
McAlester grad Dalton Wood — and his mom — confirmed he is going to Norman tonight and will report for Oklahoma football.

Mini BOOM!
Good news!! Welcome aboard Dalton!!
Anyone know what the reason was for the delay?
“personal reasons” is what’s being put out there
is it true that he has a kid
yes
Having a kid at that age? It’s hard being a dad, now add school work and football? Mental and physical strain coming up… Wonder if he can stick. Hope so.
Glad the kid can take advantage of a great opportunity!
Great news. Not only for OU, but for Dalton and his family. A college education will greatly benefit his future.
This news, on top of Austin Robert’s commitment. makes this a doubly good day. Thanx!
You’re right…

LOL.
Excellent news!
I wish the absolute best in life for the young man and the opportunity to attend and play at OU can offer a path few of us can dream of.
Seibert must have called him and let him know he can have the top bunk if he comes to OU.
When momma says git yo butt to school, you git yo butt to school. 🙂 Welcome aboard Mr. Wood.
Momma brought the Wood.
I am really glad the kid made this choice. I hope it works out for him in football but if not having a full ride to a University is not a bad way to start providing for your family.
If truly applies himself this kid can play. So hope he brings that energy effort to the team that could make him a star.
what was the hold up?
It is a good day for sooner nation with both woods,and Roberts coming to norman.
Looks some people get the news here then run over to OUInsider with it. Such is life on the internet.
One of the better life decisions he will ever make
McAlester newspaper article on Dalton and his delayed arrival.

Dang!

I was wondering if someone was going to post that. LOL. Pretty intimidating.
Little wonder he never fumbles. What happens if he pops a football in mid carry?
Would that qualify as deflate gate?
DUDE!
Check out American Pickers on History. They are in La. and later in the show they will be visiting my favorite old diner in Shreveport, Herby K’s.
Been going to that place since the mid 60’s.
I’m on it.
I saw what Frank ordered, their signature dish the Shrimp Buster. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think of that gastronomic delight.
I would have been all over the shrimp, the oysters…..no thanks.
Me either, the only oysters that pass my lips are the one’s I honk up and spit out.
It would take the air out of deflate-gate.
The ball is afraid to come out.
Good lawd.
Wow. Glad he’s on OUr side! Optimus.
Holy crap.
For some reason this reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSPNQ82Sq4E
LOL!
The dude is the embodiment of a rhino running down hill which may give way to a new nickname. Also, Mixon looks substantially bigger.
There were several time last year where you saw a player try to tackle him early in the game and, from then on, look like he wasn’t sure he wanted to play football anymore. It was starting to become a business decision and they weren’t sure any amount of scholarship was worth it.
Not sure if I’d rather get hit by a truck or by Perine. That poor Tennessee secondary of “true freshmen” got a very rude awakening.
Yeah, Tennessee is one I remember. There was a kid that looked like he was just throwing himself under Perine’s feet hoping that he would either trip over his corpse or slip on the pool of blood that he left.
That DB used that “ole” technique after getting plowed a play or two earlier.
By the end of the WVU game you could tell their D was hoping to last long enough for their after game dates.
The only thing I worry about with SP is his ankles. By the end of the season that is the part of his body that was taking most hits by defenders.
True, but he does a pretty good job getting low when taking hits. Not sure I’ve seen a big guy that flexible. Wish he’d share his secret with Ross, he’s a pretty rigid runner which worries me some.
Bite yer tongue!!
Someone on that page said “Dear Lord, he’s going to fold people.” Looks like he could fold space & time as well.
OT, but is anyone else worried about Mixon??
Why?
No.
Please explain your question. Give us a freakin context will ya?
He is already saying he is bored in Norman and there is nothing to do..

You’ve been pwned…again.
What’s in east Texass again
And once again you acknowledge your pwnage.
Aren’t you supposed to be 60 something?
Yes, the first sign that someone has a lost an argument is when they change the subject.
He does it every time.
Can somebody tell me why this guy is still around?
He’s the village fool.
Since that tweet doesn’t actually exist on Mixon’s twitter account, I am not terribly worried.
It’s Instagram lol but it seems harmless. I stayed at college year round and the first days of summer are just boring, you get really use to (so does your liver).
OK, don’t do Instagram. Still no big deal. I was bored half the time I lived in the dorms.
Plus it is summer, not as much action on campus.
Based on his actual twitter account, he has had his fun and is prepared for the grind.
It will help if they make a players lounge in the new Switzer center like Oregon has.
Tongue in cheek……………..
He can go to a local bar…and…
That is such bull crap. No Boom for Roberts or yay for Woods out of you? Imagine that.
The ‘Council of Despair’ got caught off guard with all the good news today, they are now in flail mode.
“council of despair’ nice one…
That is such bull crap. Kind of like everything you post. No Boom for Roberts or attaboy for Woods. Imagine that.
I’m calling BS on that as well. That post was ages ago.
Dude that was late June of 2014.
Seems like not too long ago all you could whine about was your perceived lack of offers to DL. Now all you got is Mixon again? You need to get more creative.
And for all the crap Stephen Dale gets on here at least he doesn’t try to hide behind a picture of some hoochie he’ll never see outside his laptop. Can’t say the same for you.
He can’t help himself JP. He’s a comedian without jokes or a venue.
I disagree, he is a committed member of the ‘Council of Despair.’
EasTex, you crack me up.
Now that’s funny, I wasn’t even trying.
All I need is a venue.
I am safely home, by the way. Landed about an hour ago.
Good news!
Hope you woke the kiddos up and gave them all a big smack.
I gave them a kiss and closed their doors. They are sleeping. Last day of school tomorrow. We’re going out for dinner to celebrate.
Excellent!
Be sure and crank up the Alice Cooper classic for them.
Can we rid ourselves of this POS already?
Hello.
My man. Tell us what you really think Boomer.
Haha. I can’t stand wastes of space, life, breath. Life’s too short to go through it being a douchebag
Or being around them…right?
Yeah. Its hard to get off. Like stubborn ticks or a visit to Austin
Good to see ya’ man, I know you’ve got lots going on right now. Isn’t the new baby due right around the start of football season?
You too. Yessir. Thanks for remembering
The committed member of the ‘Council of Despair’ needs to git. Very annoying, that one.
sup bro. good to see you on here.
Thank you brother. You too
OT, but is anyone else worried about ___________ (insert generalized topic here)??
How am I supposed to sleep tonight after you lay that on me?
My apologies, Ray. I have to make sure my fellow Sooners are just as frazzled as me.
You would spring that ________________ on us.
Gives me a sad.
Man alive you get good news and the haters try and suck the air out of the room. I’m just sayin it’s great to be a SOONER!!!! One thing about it you can’t keep OU down forever!!!
BOOMER!!!!
SOONER!
In the event no one noticed, the final women’s softball game of the season was played tonight.

I’ve done that and I’m not large or female. I do suspect someone spiked the Gatorade though.
The only face plant I did was at an all day pool party with the guys from my office, complete with a roasted pig and all kinds of alcohol.
I was swigging on 100proof Vodka, knees gave out and as I went face first down the steps I reached out with the hand still holding the vodka bottle to break my fall.
I had hundreds of little cuts all over my chest and stomach, but none that required stitches. The only stitches needed were for my co-workers after laughing so hard at the 230lb blob doing a header down the steps.
LOL!
It was even funnier the next day. I woke up, tried to pull the sheet back and it was stuck to me with hundreds of little weeping glass cuts. I just dragged the sheet into the shower with me and it came right off.
A story by a MAN!
HA!
A story of a young man told by an old man…who quit drinking at the age of 25. It was time.
A mans got to know his limitations. I had liquor 4 times when I was 17 – hasn’t touched my lips since. I have some beer but I know my limitation.
I’m usually good for about a half a bottle of beer. Rarely will I drink a whole one.
I was 6000 miles from home, surrounded by raven haired beauties and was serving as a military policeman in a city with the crime rate of Chicago on a per capita basis. Had to cut loose every now and then.
Once I got back to the world I just quit.
Oh, nothing meant wrong, I was 25 too and had my fair share. I enjoy some beer but again it’s the clint eastwood method of drinking. Man gotta know his limitations.
Interesting about Chicago. They have all of these gun laws and they have more killings than Houston by far and we don’t have the same or even close to these gun laws here.
It’s been said, we live two lives…the one we learn with and the one we live with.
Living in a foreign country so far from home and being in the military, the consumption of alcohol in large quantities is encouraged. I doubt I had drank a six pack of beer total in five years before I went there and haven’t drank even that much in the last 35 years. Just means nothing to me, though I will buy some beer and wine for cooking.
As for gun laws in Texas, open carry and campus carry for CHL holders have both passed the legislature and Gov. Abbott will sign them into law, effective 1 Sep 2015 I believe.
Makes sense and I’ve heard that from some other guys I know. No worries. Did your little get away (lake) take a hit with all the rain.
Haven’t been down there lately, but soon. I’ve been watching Texas lake levels for the past month and Caddo is a few feet high, but nothing like it was a few years ago. My lot is on a hill and many of the people that live there permanently used the lot to park their vehicles.
Texoma took a whippin – about 30 feet above flood stage. Spillway is 646 feet high and water was pouring over it for several days. Sad really. I grew up on Eufaula and it was the 2nd highest it’s ever been and it’s a huge lake, much bigger than Texoma.
Lots of folks have been badly effected, including right there in H-town.
We haven’t heard from JJ in a while, not since her town was being flooded and sure hope she and her family are okay.
My cousin posted a video of Turner Falls a few weeks back. I have never seen it like that. Sounded like a freight train and water was shooting out from the top before it began to fall into the pool below. I was not aware of the Texoma dam being that high.
The Texoma dam overflowed for the 4th time in its history.
That was my real world for 25 years.
I “got off the boat”. It was a pretty good life.
I’ve done it but I don’t remember any of the times
That’s how you eat chalk dust right there!
Hey there, budski.
Hey man…got some grass cut…grounds still wet though…: not bad…could have waited another day but got the itch
Figured you’ve been putting in work. Cutting it now and with the ground still saturated you will be getting in another cut real soon.
That’s the plan since I missed out on most of the spring grass with the rye starting to lay over..it’ll be non stop now till fall camp…:) so it’ll be no time for me
Well, the ponies need it and like I always say, the alternative to being busy isn’t very pleasant either.
yeah the alternative takes Forever…it’s nice to have work and hobbies
The chalk was the chaser to the case of Oreos ingested as a pre-at bat meal. I remember watching my dad and his friends play softball when I was a kid and there was a dude with the same profile but about 6’5″”. He would hit the ball so far he could power walk a triple. Which was his strategy to,avoid running and thus the embarrassment that was so ungracefully demonstrated for all webdom.
That right there is a physics lesson on inertia.
Yessir, gravity is not only a good idea it’s the LAW.
Note the sudden stop when the the face is in full contact with terra firma.
What would we do without video cameras or phones?
Throw rocks at the neighbor’s cats?
Not me, I love the kittehs.
The internet was created for the kittehs.

well, as the leftists say, lean forward………
Rlly?
The unstoppable force(tubby)… meets the immovable object(earth)…
Gotta question the longterm success of this dude if he’s gotta be convinced/harangued by his Mom to show up on campus. What’s the news on the other guys who haven’t showed up yet?
This was answered in an earlier thread along the lines that several,have not graduated HS yet. Several,schools are scheduled to,graduate this week and some next week.
I think you are making an assumption.

Like you know the situation?
Why don’t you clue the rest of us in on the information you base your post.
Hambone694 is cranking out the tribute videos.
https://youtu.be/CijxQgjYKHk
There’s a poster who on 247 who claims to have inside knowledge of the Dalton situation and he’s claiming that Dalton is AWOL again. WTH?
James Hale just reported on the Tulsa Animal that he packed up & went home again last night..
Mini Boom!
Good news. m/b the hidden gem of this class.
Excited for OU to get another “jack of all trades” player! Might have a two-way player here for the first time since the time the coaches “almost” put Reggie smith at receiver haha.
