BOOM BOOM!!! Have a great day Sooner Nation!!
You too. Boomer!
65 DTG!!! First career Sooner TD by Damien Williams!! Boom Boom!!
https://youtu.be/RuWqu8k1vEc
Nice. My favorite is the one against Texas. Not just because it was Texas. Not just because it was a long beautiful run. But because of the block thrown by Kenny Stills. EPIC!
Much agreed – one of my absolute favorite plays to watch. One of the things I love about it is that you can watch Stills kinda loosely running, see Williams needs a block, turns on the jets, and just crushes that guy. Epic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4ay4hou7Hw
Say what you will about the Cali trio, but goddamn Stills could lay the wood. That last block was cold
One of those plays where everything came together perfectly.
For me, it was because it was against Texas.
Softball staff voted the staff of the year — well deserved! Good morning, all!!
“Sully” looks awesome. But then most anything that Tom Hanks does is awesome.
Clint Eastwood doesn’t hurt either!
You’re right. Him and Spielberg are the best storytellers in Hollywood.
Good morning all. Tuck Fexsa
So Josiah is getting $50k for two years and reportedly asked for $125k for 3 years when he was offered $70k for 3. Stop tipping off the defense Josiah.
Have a great day, everyone!
BOOMER!!!!
Sooner!
Morning all. Halfway thru the year. Boomer!
Yep. Optimism kicking in. Says only about 7 weeks till practices start and dribbles of news leaks OUt. Meanwhile, should be hearing some 7 on 7 news. Speaking of which, Team Vapor starts their quest in a cOUple of weeks, right?
Ol Mi$$- de Nie, de Bate, de Lay. Give the coach a chance to find a new job before the hammer falls.
the dumpster fire has flared back up again.
My dad saw this car earlier this morning in OKC… check out the tag
Mornin, Magic!! I can say for sure it is not me. I wonder if I could get that for my bike? I could just take out the A.
Probably just some 47 year old guy letting people know that hes not gay.
Aw, come on Fear – gotta’ let the cynic go 馃檪
47 Straight – there is ONLY ONE!
Sorry Cush with all of the tension in here lately I thought I’d just go for a little levity.
Teasing! Note the 馃檪 Can’t worry about “hurt feeling on the net” because someone will always over react.
You are all-good, Fear!
Oh Hell Cush, course I knew you were teasing. I’d have “:)’d” back but some might have accused us of flirting.
Dang – at my age I have to google “flirt” to figure it out!
PS- is a little slow without some of the banter and MANY of the “folks.”
Ohh, believe me they are still lurking. You cant get this info just anywhere!!
I can concur!
Well, two – the “streak” and you sir.
Thanks,Cush!!

Morning all. This waiting crap stinks.
Good morning fellow Brainiacs!! “It is another great day to be a SOONER” Make the best with what you have and get out there and seize the day!!! Hold your head up high and put some pep in your step. BOOMER to all my lurkers out there, I know who you are!!
Caught me! SOONER!
SOONER!!! Guilty. Just need a big man BOOM and get this place rockin’ again.
hOU, I believe those days may be gone. With all the animosity in here these days! I don’t even know if a BOOM can help the situation.
I came on the other day, saw what was going on and left. I’m here to talk about OU SOONERS football (and other sports), not the other stuff that was going on. I’ll stay lurking until we get closer to the season! So, in the words of the Truman Show, Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight.
Golf!!! It was a little hairy to say the least. I know we will see you later on. I will never tell my secrets of how I know who is lurking!! But “I DO KNOW”.
In my defense, if I don’t like anyone’s post, no one knows I am lurking. LOL!

Best way for Walker to lock in a 1st round pick is to sack the QB.
I looked at last years draft and even the 7th DT off the board was at pick 46. So even if he doesn’t improve his stock that’s pretty good.
Nfl will always take the better pass rusher in each position along Dline.
Either the higher career avg sacks or the one year wonder double digit sacker..
He needs to get 6+ sacks again this year..
Good morning brainiacs and BOOMER! Another good pump up video on mute. What’s up with the people incorporating techno / dance music into a these lately. It’s supposed to be a pump up video not a fist pump video.
tOSU has added Joker Phillips to their staff. Two questions, how many coaches or QAQC staff can a team have and Why wont OU look at picking up some talent such as this, even if for just a year?
I’m pretty sure OU is completely full. Remember, all of this stuff came up when we were trying to keep Viney last year.
I think he is asking “why doesn’t OU create all those non-coaching, staff positions that Alabama, tOSU, et al, continue to create to skirt the restrictions on actual number of coaches?”
The concept is that these people break down film for recruiting and scouting opponents, create schedules, chase down “whatever” so the coaches can “coach” PLUS the added benefit of more-minds-planning.
exactly.
We added spurrier jr to our staff, not exactly chopped liver.
One man’s Pate is another man’s catfish bait.
Hes not been a HC like joker, but he has been a longtime position coach who we nabbed in an off the field role.
Id say thats better than adding someone with no coaching experience.
no doubt.

Man! Barrett Sallee and other national people are bashing Cale Gundy about his subtweet of Creed Humphrey.
Seriously?
I’m past being by surprised about people getting upset about anything these days.
Agree. But you’d really have to get down in it to find what Cale said as inflammatory in any way. Truthful? yes, but not inflammatory.
Of course Gundy posts stuff like that all the time, so assuming it is aimed at Creed tells you more about the people complaining than it does Gundy.
Truth hurts! I don’t know about ” national” people. I suspect a lot more people recognize Cale’s name than Sally’s.
Since I don’t bookface,twit or chatsnap. Can you post that? I did not get to see it.
https://twitter.com/OU_CoachGundy/status/748352192944312320
Thanks, Colfax.
Thank you Colfax!! I for one really appreciate it when these are posted. Can not speak for others on here though!!
He went on to say more stuff about it. But this is what started it. then Cale blocked him which made it worse.

WTF is a “subtweet”? He tweeted that directly in reply to one of Creed’s tweets? I can’t tell from just looking at it, but I sure don’t see any connection to Creed’s account.
If it’s a “subtweet” purely because of context, they can go F themselves for their whining.
Football! Great SOONER day to all the football-loving TFBers! Carry-on.

“Sooners CB Jordan Thomas arrested”
Fuuuuuuuuuu…………..
Ugh what did he do?
I swear for a kid thats supposed to be that smart he’s sure done his share of not so smart things.
“Public Intox., Assault and Battery, Interference” …
If thats the case its good bye at the very least for the Houston game. Probably more.
Ugh. Probably one of the guys we could least afford to lose.
Well, looks like Dakota secured a spot then. PJ v Quick for the other side then?
Will be an interesting battle to watch
Im guessing a few more TFBers here may be on the Cobb train soon.
That isn’t really a championship caliber starting CB combination, IMO.
Hopefully it works out and Thomas does what he needs to do to stay on the team. Tough to imagine him not being out for at least HOU though.
To me – BEST case is “indefinite suspension.” More likely case = dismissal…sadly for him and the team.
I think you’re right, I’m just being optimistic here. While I certainly appreciate Austin’s moxie and effort, he simply is too small to be a starter, and our secondary will guaranteed suffer for it. Thomas was looking to be a Day 2 draft pick, and so whoever replaces him will be a likely step down as well. Here’s hoping PJ was ready to step in, and that Quick is transitioning very, very quickly. B/c regardless of Thomas staying on the team or not, I can’t see him being suspended less than 3 games. And tOSU is game 3.
Well, it is necessary for the arresting […]’s to exaggerate the charges. Before punishment is considered.
https://twitter.com/TheFulmerCup/status/748542440479596544
Dang it!
This guy isn’t exactly on his first offense with Bob either. Yikes.
Think it’s enough to get him kicked off for good?
I wouldn’t be surprised. I don’t think Stoops has ever suspended the same guy for single games multiple times.
Obviously Stoops will get all the details we won’t, but unless the police were just complete dick’s, which I doubt they were, he gone.
I wanna say Stills and Jaz Reynolds each got suspended multiple times for single games.
I don’t see this ending well.
Maybe he can get a judge like Cam Robinson got and be back listed on preseason polls before the end of the week.
I know the young man is “young,” but he is teetering on ruining his life if he keeps on this path.
Come on man!
Jordan T, for your own sake, stop-and-think.
Jordan Thomas arrested last night…
I said it months ago when his dad started blasting him on twitter that it wouldn’t shock me if Thomas got kicked of before the season started.. Sad to admit I was right. Man this blows. Cant let this guy back on the team. He’s had multiple chances to get right. Sucks for the kid. Something must not be right in his head. He’s a knucklehead according to some people I know. This just shows it.
Hate it, Mikey, but it sure looks like JT can’t control JT.
I feel you man. I remember his dad blasting him all over twitter then I just went and looked at his dads twitter and in May he tweeted at Jordan that he just got off the phone with CNN and to stay tuned for August 30th. Seems like the dad and son haven’t fixed their issues. It’s very sad. I’d bet Coach Stoops is going to kick him off. Rightfully so IMO
I’m with ya Mikey.. For as strict as many say Bob is with kids that have character issues it will be interesting to see what he does here.. He’s had his chances I don’t care how good of a football player he is
Amen. I totally agree.
Sad for him and the team. This is a case of SMH, SMH, SMH until it rattles and I’m dizzy!
PS- Thanks for your inside info – we truly appreciate your sharing stuff with us.
LOL Cush stop it dude. I have no inside info haha I just report what I see on twitter and what I hear at the famous barbershop
Hey Mikey – That Barbershop is an info pipeline! Me, I get some young girl with three pounds of hardware in her face give me an old-man cut because I go to a quick, franchise place.
Even putting aside the eyes on the Big 12 due to Baylor’s cesspool, Bob Stoops doesn’t suffer fools lightly.
https://youtu.be/0HV1JzxhDcY
Really don’t want him suspended for any games this year but..
https://twitter.com/soonerscoop/status/748542829568237568
suspended for a game? that would be best case for him. he might be gone
re: J.Thomas – We knew about it. We’re working on some things. Hope to be able to share more later.
re: J.Thomas – Yikes
Re: J.Thomas – WTF Jordan Thomas….How many damn chances do you need lol I would do anything to be able to be a Sooner football player for one day. Some choices these kids make are really frustrating
Indeed. Not good to say the very least.
Just a fight run extra, would be a HUGE blow if kicked off
Great! Thanks for your usual vigilance!
Well, he does work in the hot sun, wondering if that would help matters.
Talk about a player with a lot of upside in the pros.. He is sure building a not so great resume off the field
Dammit J Thomas. UGH
He’s gone guys. That’s it
Happy that Dakota Austin will get an even bigger chance. The guy has done everything right and worked his tail off.
Even if JT doesn’t get kicked off the team, this solidifies him leaving for the NFL after this year. He’d be stupid not to. Which obviously bodes well for Okudah considering we may lose ALL of our secondary. Just thinking of a positive way to spin this
haha great spin job. Made me kind of happier lol
Okay. And all the other DBs will work even harder since ALL the CB spots are open…how’s that for positive?
Mbanasor Austin Johnson and Stephens all in a fight to start now..
And Quick
I think he sneaks up on people and performs well.
I was pretty disappointed tbh when he decided to switch over to D, but it’s looking more and more to have been the right move.
Don’t forget about Quick. Also, Will Johnson may play some Corner. I’d bet if Johnson moved to CB that Khalil Houghton would move to NB in a move I would like
that could help against the run actually
Exactly my thought as well
I know I am in the minority but I never liked Sanchez. I always thought he was wayyyy overrated. Got burned way to much. Was one of the most annoying guys I ever met. He always acts like he is better and elite and I told him to his face that he wasn’t as good as Derrick Straight, Dom Franks, Antonio Perkins,Andre Woolfolk and the guys I grew up watching. He said I was crazy if I didn’t think he was one of the best Sooner CB’s ever. Now Jordan Thomas was legit but still wasn’t a big fan of him. I like Mbanasor. Why? Idk. He just has something to him. Let the stoning begin
Cant disagree with some of your assessment, but you have to admit the secondary would be MUCH better off this year with Sanchez and Parker as CB’s. I love PJ as well, but experience worries me.
Agree
More a pebble than a stone 馃檪
Supposedly Sylvie looked pretty good at NB too.
Good call, forgot about the early reviews on him. Early enrollee right?
Damn you FTM, I completely forgot about him. Sorry lol
jordan parker may surprise everyone
I like that kid. Doesn’t get the hype a lot of others have been, but may be special.
He’s definitely a wildcard. He could have a great career here if he’s mature enough to make that immediate leap.
I would agree if he was an early enrollee but that’s hard for a frosh to come in and play at that level, like mbanasor did last year.. Athletically he was all there but it was the small details he needed to work on
don’t forget quick either. I also was thinking about the possibility of Will Johnson at CB and then Sunderland or Sylvie at NB
3 strikes, you’re out. Bad look for the kid.
What was a strength now might be a weakness. I really hate it when these kids do really dumb stuff. Hopefully some of the others are ready.
Happens every offseason and sucks every time.
what is the Status of Stanvon Taylor?
If booted, wonder if he enters the NFL Comp Draft? Not sure when that is.
he’s not old enough. Would have to wait a year
Maybe Will Johnson slides in that spot
Unfortunately, that’s probably our best bet. And I say that because Johnson was a monster at the nickel and going to be nearly as tough to replace as JT, I fear.
If he does, hope Roy Williams has some eligibility left for the NB position. ; )
I say Sunderland or Sylvie could….COULD take on the NB spot.
Chanse has been looking good from everything I’ve read. I wouldn’t object to that IF will is our best option at corner.
It’s certainly possible, but I think they really like him at nickel.
silver lining = opens up a scholly…
Not really. We won’t add anybody this year, and he was likely gone next year anyways. This one’s gonna hurt.
Cobb may see two open spots and come crawling back.
Pass rush even more critical now. Walker needs to stay healthy and Obo, DeBerry, Jackson, et al will need to find their inner Striker quickly.
Mbanasor needs to live up to his hype coming in.
Oh, I agree 100%. Just saying no matter what there will be a drop off and pass rush is the best way to ease that pain.
Blame K for that. He’s just a sophomore, it’ll play out.
Anybody else see the door opening wider for cobb
Wow JT. WOW.
If this happened at Pickleman’s I’m claiming it is secretly owned by T. Boone!
We need him for the Houston game! I hope it’s a case of police stacking charges!
Look I want to win really bad, but at this point it is time to cut our loses with JT. This has happened on multiple occasions and it is obvious that he is not changing. Move on and let Austin Mbanasor Quick Parker and Stephens compete for the two empty spots.
If JT went to Ole Piss, Bama, or Baylor you would have never heard about this or the charges would have got dropped.
Here’s the deal some kids just don’t get it. They don’t understand the great opportunity that sits in front of them. JT sounds like a kid who has plenty of book smarts but has very little common sense! NEXT MAN UP!!
Besides Mark Jackson. Motley is probably my favorite ’16 recruit. Look at that offer list…. !!
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/212939/parnell-motley
What happened with JT now?
Drunk and interfering with police/assault.
Along the lines of Trevone Boykin or less than that?
At this point I don’t think it matters @Vegas_Sooner21:disqus
Boykin was originally charged with felony assault and resisting arrest, correct? If what I remember is true, Boykin gets the nod for “worst,” of the two. However, even if this might be a slap on the wrist type of offense (not sure the penalties involved) for JT, it’s not his first time in hot water, so Bob may be the big, bad judge.

bad pattern…He spent a night in Grady County jail in mid-December after failing to appear in court following a traffic citation.
Twice last season, Thomas missed time for disciplinary reasons. He was suspended for the Sept. 19 game against Tulsa for an undisclosed violation and missed the first quarter of the season opener against Akron.
for some this may be a cry for help, but I am afraid this is the end of his season.
We need this week to be over already.
KJ, hear any rumblings on what Bob is going to do?
Im just hearing about it. I’ll ask.
I’m hearing Houston for sure.
Dang man, you fast!!
thx
Appreciate it KJ. Is it looking like tOSU as well? That’s my biggest concern.
Mine too. I’m hoping two games at the most. But honestly nobody knows the length yet. I was just told Houston for sure.
I know JT messed up and maybe he can’t handle his booze – learn from it. I would bet there is no one feeling worse about what happened than JT. By no means am I taking up for him but you know he’s hating life today. Whatever Stoops says, I’m behind him.
I’m not even finding an article about this JT incident.
look under his name and latest news.
It has a link within of quite a few people pulled
http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2016/06/30/oklahoma-cb-jordan-thomas-arrested-charged-public-intoxication-assault-battery
http://newsok.com/sooners-cb-jordan-thomas-arrested-early-thursday/article/5507334?articleBar=1
Can we get the same judge the bama kids got? I mean, this kid works out in the heat, not in the air conditioning like us “spolied” people.
Okay a friend of mine on twitter messaged me and told me he has a friend who seen the Thomas incident go down. He also said take it for what its worth but that he thinks it is pretty accurate. Don’t shoot the messenger. Supposably Jordan and an OU Baseball player who also got arrested named Andrew something were drinking on campus corner and started getting into it with some big guy. Both Thomas and Andrew started hitting the guy and police where called and arrived fast. A former football player was with them but had no involvement. He ran away from the scene as soon as it started. This is a guy played for OU last year and wasn’t involved at all. Don’t like to start rumors just telling you guys what I was told.
nvm
How do you get a public intox and not an MIP if you’re only 20?
Probably would be a non story if he would’ve cooperated with the cops
if he was intoxicated, but did not have anything on his person he would get public intox and no MIP.
Don’t know. I
The Andrew guy’s last name is Santacroce. Supposably he is a transfer from Texas Tech
Sanchez? What does Sanchez have to do with this?
Honey, I’m sorry but…it’s supposedly.
I think he meant to type “Thomas” the second time, but b/c they’re both OU starting CBs, he accidentally wrote Sanchez.
Yes and no. Sanchez was actually the guy who was there but not involved haha.
Huh. Shouldn’t he be at rookie camp? That’s kind of surprising.
I seen over on Landthieves that Sanchez was named as well. So he may have been in town. Like I said. Take it with a grain of salt. Just reporting what I heard
Hey, no worries, I just appreciate the info. I realize there’s lots of rumors swirling around, so not everything will be accurate.
So, who? Who is Sanchez?
Zack Sanchez
Why on earth would Zach Sanchez be stupid enough to be in Norman, OK after entering the NFL and be with an under-age OU player, allowing him to drink and being present for an altercation with law enforcement? Jeebus.
Stupidity, ingratitude, poor judgement, horrible leadership and worse, if true.
Wait, you “seen on LT”? *facepalm* Nevermind.
LOL I have no idea.
Sanchez was the guy supposably with them but not involved
C-.
Lol:) That went right over his head!
Lol:) That went right over his head!
Problematic pattern here. Suspend him for half the season or the whole season.
He’s gone after this season anyway, so at that point kick him off and give the scholly to a walk on. Really though, I like the talent we have at CB, just not the experience. As long as the suspension is through the tOSU game (and I can’t imagine it would be shorter than that if reports are accurate), I don’t really see the remainder of the games as that much more of a difference.
He has some issues. Better learn from this one. Next time he’ll get some time in the pokey
btw, he is a junior soooooo, he could come back his senior year if he gets the Shannon punishment. I suspect he would not make it out to the NFL earlier than 4 or 5 if he 1. has had a lot of off the field issues, 2. Has not played in a year
What pisses me off even more than reading about Jordan is the fact that if this was the SEC no news reporter would have said jack squat. Whatever. Next man up I guess. If we have ANY injuries to the CB spot we are screwed. I’m sorry but Austin played well against the crappy team he faced last year but he’s not starter material. This is devastating IMO. I’m beyond annoyed right now. I’ll see y’all tomorrow when there is hopefully better news than this. Peace out TFB!
Can we stop with the whole “this wouldn’t have happened in the sec” talk?
One, we don’t know how many incidents here already happen the exact same way. For all we know, the police could’ve warned JT 8 times without arresting him.
Second, just because they do things backwards doesn’t mean we should too. If a kid breaks the law, they should be punished. Who cares if they get away with it at Bama? Do you really want to have the reputation that they do?
It’s 2016. Cops used to be far more lax on tons of stuff. DUI, etc. If you do dumb stuff in 2016, you’re likely to get in trouble for it. Have to be smarter than that.
No we can’t stop with it because Alabama just had their best player ( arguably) get off the hook while riding around town with an illegal weapon and MJ and nothing happened. Don’t tell me it’s not because of the SEC and the fact they have THE most arrest per teams in the nation. Sec gets away with more, simple as that. At this point it doesn’t matter bc JT has had his chances, but don’t sit here and act as if the SEC doesn’t get away with way more, whether it’s due to the coaches, judges, police or whoever.
Sooner football program isn’t Alabama football program, OUr staff isn’t Bama’s staff, Stoops handles players better than Saban – and more importantly – we don’t want to get away poor behavior with the way they do.
You obviously didn’t read my post. Maybe stop worrying about what happens at Alabama so much.
I think the point is JT should go but some of those guys in the SEC won’t even miss a game. They should be gone too. The minimum on that Bama kid was a year in jail if convicted. MINIMUM
True but Bama doesn’t have Baylor in their conference.
The one ( and only ) silver lining that I see is that all of the younger CBs will get a bunch more reps.
But all the young DB’s are still with SS17 ???
Not true. Mbanasor, Stephens, Parker, Motley, Sylvie and maybe even Cobb.
Plus Quick can use as many snaps as he can get.

Plus Quick can use as many snaps as he can get.
Out of those PJ and, Parker and Chanse are the ones who will step up.
and one more poster boy to hang on the wall as what not to do.
All summer long, Mbanasor & Quick need to run 7-on-7 like their lives are on the line. We will see just how much heart this D has.
For “silver lining,” I’ll go with just before July 1st rather than September 1st.
Thanks Cush. We need as many silver linings as we can get now.
Hey, if OUr team has BAKER, we always have a chance – don’t forget that either!
Hey, if OUr team has BAKER, we always have a chance – don’t forget that either!
Replacing DBs on both sides is going to be difficult and depth becomes an issue.
Johnson started half a season?
Mbansor 1 game?
Quick is transitioning
Stephens, Jordan Parker, Motley haven’t had a snap yet..
I’m freaking..
Someone calm me down!
Agree on depth. Replacing the NFL departing Sanchez did not bother me nearly like losing JT. Like MikeyBoom, I always thought Sanchez was not as good as we needed. Yes, he made some big plays, but he got beat some and he had a lot of trouble getting his man to the ground without giving up 8 yards. Before this, I thought we would be BETTER this year at CB.
i guess it was a matter of time. Most programs cant get through a year without kids screwing up. I can think of many more players that would be more devastating to lose to stupidity. Lets pray this OU’s 1 for this season.
I don’t really want him to get kicked, but I really hope one of the young guys step up and earn a spot in the secondary.
Like I said to JE, he does work in the hot sun so…….
https://twitter.com/CBSSportsCFB/status/748569071537557504
blackout period. Secondary violation?
Not even close.
Yeah that’s nothing.
thanks all its gone.
For using Twitter………..???
So was this actually in the string of Creed’s announcement tweet?
No. Gundy tweeted it without any context. The media is the only one associating it with Creed. Gundy tweets similar stuff all the time.
Thanks Bob. I really couldn’t see Cale doing it the way its being portrayed. I saw it last night and thought nothing of it since (like you said) he says stuff like this a lot.
I agree. I don’t even think he was talking about Creed. He posts random stuff like that all the time. I sometimes think its automated.
It’s sad/pathetic what constitutes “news” these days. How is stating facts #MadOnline?
So stupid.
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% correct.
I agree. June college football “news” is always just so negative
IMO I dont care what’s going on with other teams/conferences in relation to whats going on with our team. We need to worry about our own house. You dont want to get in trouble? Stay your a$$ indoors especially if you’re a major contributor. You can get drunk and get in bar fights for 50 years after you’re done at OU.
Amen! We don’t need to stoop to someone else’s level. I wish him the best whether that is eventually on the field or not but Stoops will hold his players accountable and I trust him to do the right thing (whatever the “right thing” is).
You can learn from dumb mistakes, but you cant fix stupid.
Right, and this is not JT’s first mistake. I’m a big fan but he has to learn.
I am totally not defending JT in any way. He should never have done what he did. Just walk away. However, when I was at OU I saw many students out at campus corner or other parties just trash talk and provoke the athletes because they know the athletes can’t/shouldn’t do anything back. “Man, I made so and so back down…..”
Pretty amazing how an extra beer or two could possibly cost a school a National Championship.
Hopefully that wont be the case here.
Could be worse, and saying even “possibly” is a definite stretch. Could be a knee to start a game, or a torn muscle while lifting, or a concussion, or …
Not a smart move on his part, but my past has enough glass windows that I can’t be the one to hurl many rocks.
OP is up w/ some info on Jordan Thomas: https://thefootballbrainiacs.com/ou-oklahoma-sooners-football-jordan-thomas-arrest-cornerback
A friend of mine was on campus corner last night and he said there was a pretty big brawl and a lot of police arrived on the scene, so I’m assuming that’s when this all went down SMH
2:45 a.m.? We mamas keep saying “Nothing good comes from being out after midnight.” But do they listen? *shakes my head*
I was not looking for “good” after midnight in college.
Mama knew that…
Soon as I saw the headline I had a sinking feeling it was Thomas. Hope this turns out to not be true, but if it is he may be a goner.
