    Not a great pic of Durron Neal catching a pass, and saying his critics don’t matter. Derp.

  • 47 Straight OU Know says:

    It’s always a great day to be a SOONER!!!!! Anticipation is almost to much to bare. :-0

  • Cory Reedy says:

    That interview with Charlie Strong vid is CLASSIC! BWAHAHAHAHA!

    • 47 Straight OU Know says:

      Yes indeed.

    • AdamsHall says:

      That was funny.

    • Kelly Gurbcock says:

      what are the chances one of us would break a bone trying to tackle the guy?

    • Brad Warren says:

      That’s scary strong! Hilarious what Daniel Brooks said. Curling cars! Lmao!

    • SavageSoonerEsq says:

      LMBO! That last 4 sentences from Baker Mayfield had me rolling:

      “First of all, you don’t find a kid that age who looks like a grown man. He looks like he’s about 40. And then you put him in a weight room and he looks like he’s in the world lifting championships. He’s a freak. He plays around and tries to be gentle, but he’s not very gentle. He doesn’t know his own strength. He’ll try to rub your neck and your shoulders and it hurts really badly. He needs to calm down.”

    There were some greats to wear this number, but One Sooner Legend wore it best. Lil Joe

  • SoonerGoneEast says:

    Jordan, thanks for not linking to the hit piece that came out yesterday. The worthless, low-life, bottom-feeding tramp doesn’t deserve the clicks. Here’s to hoping Stoops publicly goes full Gundy on that contemptible piece of trash and that worthless, empty rag that gave her the pulpit.

  • Brad Warren says:

    Frank talks to media and of course today, that female hack at the daily disappointment is ripping him for answering questions honestly. Instead of saying what she thinks he should. He has said all along he did nothing wrong. Anyways, I wouldn’t blame Bob if he just didn’t make Frank or Joe available to media. What good could come from it? None.

    • Scott Moore says:

      I agree to an extent. Especially with Mixon. But Frank is old enough to face the music. So I’m sure Stoops is thinking he can handle it and hopefully grow from the experience. Frank wasn’t convicted. But something obviously happened that wasn’t right. He’s lucky to be on the team period. This is his chance to be humble and grateful for a second chance. I don’t know that he pulled that off yet. If he ever wants to play in the NFL he should start working on acing interviews. Scouts have to consider this and he can hurt or help himself.

      • brainpimp says:

        Scott Moore I declare you guilty of something not right.

        What kind of crap is that?

        The media are total hypocritical *hores on all this.

        • Scott Moore says:

          The media is nuts. I agree. They are doing a lot of damage this summer with their agendas. But I don’t think the University would investigate and then suspend if nothing at all happened. That’s just my opinion. Everyone has their right to one.

          • brainpimp says:

            Do you want me to go get the posts where a University kicked a guy off campus because he looked like a guy that raped a girl 1500 miles away. They knew it wasn’t him and suspended him anyway.

            You are making an assumption here that is totally false. Universities are, in fact, doing exactly that.

          • Scott Moore says:

            I hear ya. Everyone pounced on my “something happened.” The point I was trying to make is that Frank has a second chance and can help himself. I believe he has the talent and would love to see him succeed at OU and in the NFL.

          • SoonerOracle737 says:

            From the University perspective, they didn’t want to violate Title IX regulations and jeopardize their Federal funding. So Shannon paid a heavy price to CYA for OU.

      • MoJoOkie says:

        I don’t think you or I have enough information to say, “But something obviously happened that wasn’t right.”; unless we were there (which we weren’t). Or by that maybe you mean that something wasn’t right with the accusation?

        • Scott Moore says:

          It’s true we don’t have video evidence. I’m just using logic. If he was completely innocent then the University is evil. If they did all of that to a young mans reputation in an attempt to persuade public perception. Pure evil.

          • Bob Edwards says:

            You really don’t understand the state of universities and claims of sexual misconduct. They are a morass of political correctness, failure to observe due process, and guilty until proven innocent for males accused of wrongdoing. Does that mean nothing happened? No. Does that mean you can trust that something did happen? No. I would put more stock in the legal process than a university’s because they have rules of evidence and constitutional guarantees of due process. Something you don’t have in a university.

          • SoonerOracle737 says:

            Universities are scared to death that the Federal $$$’s will be cut if they violate Title IX regulations. That is what it all boils down to, and why Shannon paid the price. It all stinks to High Heaven.

          • Scott Moore says:

            I hear you and agree. The point I was trying to make got lost in my comment that “something happened.” If nothing happened we wouldn’t be talking about it at all. But my main point is. He has a second chance. No matter what happened. I think it would benefit to come across as humble and excited about the opportunity. That’s all. I want to see Frank do well and make it in the NFL. Most of that will be done on the field. But a little damage control on the public perception won’t hurt. Don’t you agree?

          • Bob Edwards says:

            Are you recanting your original statements now? You said things like “face the music”, “something obviously happened that wasn’t right,” “lucky to be on the team period,” “grateful for a second chance.” That’s not a point about managing public perception whatever the reality. That’s a point about he’s wrong so he needs to act like it.

          • Scott Moore says:

            Bob Edwards, what you say is absolutely correct. I should have thought it through a little more on a topic that is so sensitive. What I said could be and was easily misinterpreted. My heart was for the young man helping himself and that didn’t completely show through. But I wouldn’t say that everything I said was false by any means. He easily could have been dismissed for good. Right or wrong. He is an adult and should be allowed to speak. I don’t think, “I didn’t do nothing,” helps that much. Teams won’t not pick him because of what did or did not happen. They may wait until the 3rd or 4th round because of it. So he has a year to help that. Why not?

          • Bob Edwards says:

            Glad I could give you an opportunity to more clearly express you main point.

          • Bob Edwards says:

            Phhht, why let facts get in the way of a good tough stance.

          • Drew says:

            There’s also this case at Columbia:
            http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/nyregion/accused-of-rape-a-student-sues-columbia-over-bias.html?_r=0

            I can’t find the right article on it, but essentially the school is sponsoring the defamation of this kid, even though all evidence indicates that the girl is lying.

          • SavageSoonerEsq says:

            Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

          • brainpimp says:

            Logic does not apply in any situation where political and bureaucratic solutions are involved.

      • boomersooner says:

        What happened that wasn’t right? You don’t know because you weren’t there. Period. Doesn’t need to be spoken of unless you were there. Does that mean whatever happened needs to be ignored and shoved under a rug? No but nothing good can come from a bunch of yahoos talking about something they have zero knowledge about. And if he’s good enough, interviews are about 900th on the list, they’ll find a spot for him

        • Scott Moore says:

          Because I wasn’t there, nothing happened? Ok. Strange that the University would have devoted all that time and effort to an investigation when nothing happened. Weird that they fought for the right to issue the suspension in the Oklahoma Supreme Court for a non incident.

          • boomersooner says:

            Were charges filed? Maybe the outcry from the “intelligent” public, who also wasn’t there, was too much that the school didn’t wanna hear it. Do you think every agency gets everything right? No one is ever wrongly accused? No one is ever wrongly convicted? No one is ever wrongly executed? I got ocean front property in Arizona if you want some

          • Scott Moore says:

            Could be. Tell me about this property?

          • JR says:

            You do realize that there are Universities across the country who are under intense investigation over whether they failed to punish persons involved with incidents just like Frank? That the burden of proof is not the same as if it were to be processed through the courts? The University is doing what it had to do because federal funding was at stake and until the law is corrected to apply reality and a more stringent burden of proof you will see more and more males expelled or suspended without any charges brought from a DA.

          • Brad Warren says:

            Yes bro, thats what’s so messed up about this Shannon deal. The University’s dealings are completely independent of any criminal proceedings. In this case there were none. No charges. I was in a fraternity while at OU. If a girl woke up feeling ashamed or guilty about something that happened and reported something false to school or police, I’m probably in some serious hot water. Even if police don’t pursue due to lack of evidence, the school doesn’t just let it go. So yes, I believe they made an example out of Frank.

      • SoonerGoneEast says:

        Scott Moore, like Carlson, you have not interviewed Shannon or the alleged victim. So basically you know absolutely nothing of the situation or circumstances surrounding it. What you do know is that the DA didn’t feel the need to press charges. So what music is it he’s supposed to face? Your music? Carlson’s music?

        Please tell me why you feel like he needs to be torn down and his life destroyed when you don’t have the slightest clue about what happened?

      • Scott Moore says:

        So let me get this straight. You guys think that the University of Oklahoma did an independent investigation of Sexual Misconduct, determined that Frank violated the Universities policy, suspended OUr best tackler from the year before for a year, and nothing happened? Wow…

        • SoonerGoneEast says:

          So let me get this straight… Something happened and the DA decided to play pretend that nothing happened? Wow, now there’s your real news story.

          • Sooner 76 says:

            The level of evidence for a conviction in a court of law on a rape charge is very high. The level of evidence for a conviction in the university court is less. And the charge may have been a lesser charge as well. Frank maintains that he did nothing wrong. He is entitled to say that. He paid a price and let’s move on.

            Mixon clearly struck the woman and he’s done his time. Let’s move on. It might be appropriate for Mixon to make a statement of contrition. And maybe not.

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            Agree 100%

          • GreginDestin says:

            I love these pxxing contests or a phallic measuring contests or whatever. Here are three facts which fit the situation; [a] if you are a Sooner fan you are relieved the best hitting and tackling machine is again in uniform, squared away and ready for action, [b] as a former prosecuting (and defense) attorney in a large federal controlled jurisdiction, more sexual battery type allegations go unprosecuted than those which are because the victims and their immediate families see, hear and read garbage like the comments in this thread and say, “no fxxking way I am putting myself/my daughter thru this”, and finally, [c] both sides in the post event wrap up need to just let it go…nothing is going to change anyone’s stance.

          • brainpimp says:

            So shut up he said.

            Your premise is false so your conclusion is false. You leave no room for any conclusion than you only believe him to be innocent because you are a fan of OU. You then construct a strawman about non prosecuted other cases.

            Federal prosecutors have done some horrendously illegal acts in prosecuting innocent people, therefore you must prosecute innocent people. How you like that line coming back at you?

          • GreginDestin says:

            Oh, just how I reply to most pimps…GFY…

          • boomersooner says:

            15 yds. Douchebaggery. Still 1st down

          • brainpimp says:

            Your avoidance of the issue does not help your case.

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            Greg,

            Please don’t suggest the reason why I refuse to join you in supporting Shannon’s trial in the media is because I want OU to win more games. In fact, here’s a little collected wisdom for you… Don’t type anything on a web page that you wouldn’t dare say in person. It makes you look just as bad as those of us down here in the fray that you claim to be standing above.

            Although it likely means nothing to you, your personal experience and academic pedigree don’t outweigh anyone’s rights as a citizen of this country. I have several friends who are attorneys. I have several relatives who are attorneys. I have done business (not legal related) with thousands of attorneys. I myself have probably spent half a million in attorney fees thru the years, and there is one thing that never ceases to amaze me. Attorneys make every effort to understand everything there is to know about the inner workings of our legal system, but make the choice to have a limited grasp of our constitution, our freedoms, what it took to achieve them and why we had to fight for them to begin with. The fact that as an attorney you are content to dismiss a persons presumptive innocence clearly established thru multiple amendments within our constitution, is as damning an indictment on your watered down, over-populated profession as there is. So take your law degree and wipe your a** with it for all I care, I will forever stand by any persons presumptive innocence and right to a fair trial.

          • GreginDestin says:

            Some of us were something prior to being attorneys. In my prior profession I dealt with a lot of folks who were quick with their yaps such as you. If you and I met, I sincerely doubt you could cause me to wipe my ass other than at the appropriate time to do it, and further, it would be an unpleasant occasion for you. Have a nice day with brainfart.

            And just for the record, having watched and closely listened on the few occasions Bob did comment about Shannon’s proceedings, it was apparent he went to great lengths to not say the word innocent or even not guilty…draw your own conclusion, Einstein.

          • brainpimp says:

            Targeting personal foul plus asshattery elitist. Greg is ejected from the game.

            Only 2 things are infinite. The universe and human stupidity. You just proved stupidty.

          • GreginDestin says:

            Someone once told me if someone farted too much in an ambush situation you ran a bayonet up their ass and started ripping upward to allow all the gas to escape into the atmosphere…

          • brainpimp says:

            The human head weighs 8 pounds. You must go about 3 1/4.

          • GreginDestin says:

            You must be someone with an ACT or SAT less than mine. GFY dildo…

          • brainpimp says:

            Oh yea keep trying BUwahaahha

            I got your work video.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_eZmEiyTo0

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            impressive response. Have a good night, Champ.

          • Scott Moore says:

            You think that’s never happened? Mostly near Tallahassee but hey, it happens none the less.

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            You just destroyed my argument!

        • Jed says:

          OU did what they did out of an abundance of caution in order to keep safe their rep with federal research grant grantors. Nothing less, nothing more. It was an utterly amoral decision.
          And the action taken was based on a star chamber style procedure whose findings of fact have never and will never see the light of day.

    • Jordan Esco says:

      This is one of countless reasons why Mixon should feel no obligation whatsoever to address the media.

      There is literally nothing to be gained from it. Nothing he says will change their opinion and/or treatment of him.

      If I were advising him, I’d say don’t give an interview to any local media for as long as you’re on campus.

      • SoonerOracle737 says:

        Agreed. No good can come of it.

      • Bill Duncan says:

        If he were to come out and address it in a humble way and show some remorse over the incident, it definitely wouldn’t hurt his situation.

        The media isn’t going to drop this as long as he’s playing. Especially if he shows out this fall.

        • SoonerGoneEast says:

          What incident, Bill Duncan? Please tell us what you know happened.

          • Bill Duncan says:

            The incident that resulted in gross injury. I didn’t go into details about who was right or wrong in the situation. No need to be condescending SoonerGoneEast. Just adding my opinion.

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            You implied guilt when you said he needs to be remorseful. Perhaps if you chose your words a little more thoughtfully, I wouldn’t have offended your sensitivities. My sincerest apologies, sir.

          • Bill Duncan says:

            I definitely could have worded it differently. I was thinking that the young man probably is remorseful of the situation regardless of fault and if that were shown it may go a long way with the media. The only thing they’ve seen is his tweets and some were poorly timed. No offense taken in the least.

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            My apologies. I was talking about Shannon, not Mixon.

          • SoonerfanTU says:

            Not to rehash this, but can you really say he is not guilty of ANYTHING involving that incident? That’s a pretty odd stance to take, IMO.

          • MoJoOkie says:

            Perhaps it was a reneged booty call? I’d say that might be his guilt and I have to admit that in my college experience I was never guilty of that. I never reneged.

          • boomersooner says:

            Put it this way, to me, he is neither guilty nor innocent because I wasn’t there

          • J J says:

            At the end of the day, it’s between 2 people. None of us were there, but clearly the DA felt it wasnt criminal. Jenny is an idiot

          • Eric Hoffpauir says:

            Did the DA think it wasn’t criminal? Or did he not feel like he could get a conviction? Or did the woman herself decide not to press charges for other reasons than nothing happened?

          • J J says:

            Does it matter? No charges were filed. Doesn’t make me happy or sad. At the end of the day what happened was between 2 college students. I am not so naive as to think that makes it rape. She CHOSE to be there, after partying. That does not give Jenny an open forum to express her slanderous opinion.

          • Eric Hoffpauir says:

            Sure it matters.

          • J J says:

            No it doesn’t. What I think doesn’t matter. It’s as likely that she was embarrassed & humiliated, as it was that Frank might have gone too far. It really doesn’t matter what I think.

          • SavageSoonerEsq says:

            I’m pretty sure (very sure) that the DA did not have enough to file charges.

          • Bob Edwards says:

            Yes, there is a place between guilty and not guilty called “I don’t know”. We should not say things about people based on our assumptions when we don’t know.

          • SamSooner says:

            Good point.

          • brainpimp says:

            Schroedinger’s cat says hi!

          • boomersooner says:

            Hahaha

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            I was talking about Shannon, not Mixon. I have zero sympathy for Mixon.

          • Soonerbred says:

            I think one of you is talking Mixon while the other is talking Shannon. I think his point is that if Mixon showed remorse.

          • SoonerGoneEast says:

            Oh, you’re probably right, haha!

          • brainpimp says:

            Oh you mean the one that could have been caused by multiple sources with no direct tie to Frank, Oh that one.

          • Bill Duncan says:

            I’m not as familiar with the situation surrounding Shannon. Hard to get info on the east coast.

          • Jed says:

            I think the file is with the FSU Campus Police. Or the Tallahassee PD. Mebbe the Flowduh Byoorow of Investimagations.

        • Jordan Esco says:

          I don’t disagree w/ you at all, but it’s also not going to stop them from bringing it up, ever. No matter what he says. So why even address it w/ them? Address it w/ the people who matter, i.e. not the media.

          • Bill Duncan says:

            Agreed. I guess I was thinking the court of public opinion might be better moving forward if he was to do that. The media like you said, would keep doing what they always do.

            I told myself I wouldn’t comment on the Mixon situation after last fall… It’s a never ending situation that repeats itself.

          • Jordan Esco says:

            You’re not wrong, but I’m just of the opinion the public (for the most part) has moved on. The media are really the only ones who continue to bring it up.

        • Drew says:

          On the contrary, by coming out and addressing it, he’d be inviting multiple articles from each news source about the incident, with the majority not believing him and using it to tear into him again. Why would he put himself through that?

      • Indy_sooner says:

        Fundamental legal strategy 101. They don’t make draft day decisions, they don’t make the call on play time. No point putting them in that position at all

      • SamSooner says:

        Jenni Carlson and the rest of the reporters at that trashy paper are agenda driven. It makes me sick. If they do interviews, they should make it clear that this is football related only.

    • J J says:

      At the end of the day, whatever happened that night is no ones business excepts Franks & the chick. It’s not my business why or how it happened, it’s not yours & it sure as hell is you Jenny Carlsons. Period. OU conducted its investigation, declared a punishment to maintain federal regs. As a female who has made mistakes… I am not afraid to speak up & say there are 2 responsible parties. And the DA felt the same way

      • SamSooner says:

        Good morning JJ. It is clear to me that Mixon and Shannon are not the real targets. Jenni is being passive-aggressive: her real target is the OU and the administrative staff.

        • Boom says:

          Maybe, but to me she’s just trying to create/manufacture publicity. Good or bad, she doesn’t care as long as her name is mentioned. She’s also hoping national sensitive groups pick up on her article and have it go national.

          • SamSooner says:

            Those reporters are hacks, at best. I don’t how half of what they write ever gets published. The Editor of that paper should be ashamed.What she wrote was an editorial passed off as reporting.

        • J J says:

          Exactly. As a female who Will honestly admit to not putting myself in the best places on weekends in college… 🙂 I will say if it were one of my sons… I would have already filed suit. Already would have had a lawyer on the phone with the Oklahoman last night.

        • Gladdman says:

          Isn’t Carlson the one who wrote the article about the qb at osu that resulted in Gundy’s “rant” when he felt his player had been cheap-shotted” bu her?

    • Dustin says:

      Jenni, like a vast majority of the Oklahoma media, is crap. I wouldn’t blame Bob one bit if he went straight up Belichick on their asses.

      • SamSooner says:

        Agreed. And everyone wonders why Bob gets so short during interviews. It’s the agendas they have and the stupid ass questions they ask.

        • GreginDestin says:

          Bob gets irritated and stomps off because his prior life in Youngstown, Manhattan, and Gainesville, prior to making multi millions on an annual basis, he knows that all the talking rarely, if ever, accomplishes anything but making the situation worse.

      • GreginDestin says:

        He won’t because he has a wife, mother, and daughters. He has a job which pays him over 5M a year which is not easy to duplicate, Shannon can make keeping that job easier, but he likely has some very hidden trepidations as to what really happened. Bob has shown some loyalty to one of ‘his guys’, but really, Bob has not really said a whole lot…there is a loud outcry from his silence.

        • Dustin says:

          Bob will pander to the OK media because he has a family and a high salary? Not sure how that’s relevant.

          • GreginDestin says:

            No, because in contrast to brainfart and others, Bob can obviously discern the difference between ‘innocent’, ‘not guilty’, and ‘culpable’.

        • brainpimp says:

          Classic,so you’re saying getting an atty makes you look guilty and not getting an atty makes you look guilty and coming in to talk to us makes you look guilty. Wow who could have guessed you are a prosecutor.

          There is no there there to your argument.

          You just argued it’s in Bob’s best interest to be silent for himself and his family and then immediately turned that on it’s head to say Bob being silent somehow indicates Bob’s doubts.

          I’m very glad to know any time we need to divine Bob’s inner feelings we can come to you because you know.

            So, do you immediately transform into Hillary Clinton’s spokesman when someone doesn’t immediately concur with your assessment? I retreat to my original advice…

          • brainpimp says:

            Wonderful imagery. All completely wrong and false, zero substance.

            You are clearly pounding the table. You leave no room for anyone to justifiably disagree with you and you claim to have special secret knowledge that only you can divine.

            Hey you do sound like a federal prosecutor!

          • GreginDestin says:

            That’s why some day every god damn democrat who sides with Clinton will share a cell with Tyrone…

  • John Garner says:

    Good morning. Nice article about Frank Shannon (and Coach Kish) at ESPN CFB:

    • Sooner 76 says:

      Good read. Also read the other article just below about the transfers at texass.

      What’s the over/under on Charlie Weak’s tenure as texass? 3 years?

      • J J says:

        He will be lucky to get year 4. I personally think he’s full of crap & has been building excuses to try to get the 4th year.

  • HoustonChiver says:

    i hope Notre Dame gets crushed every game in the season they’re on that stupid TV show.

    • Soonerfandave84 says:

      I hope ND gets crushed every game because they are ND

      • Sooner 76 says:

        Gonna be hard to pick a favorite when the play the whorns.

        Just sayin.

        • Cam says:

          I’m rooting for a natural disaster.

          • Soonerfandave84 says:

            47 overtimes refs just call it a 0-0 tie

          • Sooner 76 says:

            And the two teams are so exhausted that they lose every other game in the season.

            Hey, works for me. 🙂

          • Jed says:

            How about a smoking hell mouth opens at mid-field and swallows both teams, including staff.
            And then snaps shut.

          • Soonerfandave84 says:

            I don’t wish injury on them, just lack of success. Maybe UT could win with a safety in OT(yeah i know) just to you know help the B12 (2-0)

          • brainpimp says:

            Good choice. For me, I have to go with the Sweet Meteor of Death ( SMOD) hitting the stadium because you get the bonus of both teams destruction and their fans.

        • J J says:

          I am going. Openly cheering for triple over time. If someone gets arrested it’ll be me… Please start bail fund

        • Walter Sobcek says:

          I’m so sick of the Big 12 bashing among the ESPN media that I’m rooting for Texas against ND. Gonna be hard.

  • Soonerfandave84 says:

    Interview with Charlie Strong is awesome. I got a few looks from the office beside me about why I was laughing so hard.

  • Indy_sooner says:

    The Malik part…I died

  • Matt says:

    I asked this yesterday but didn’t get a reply…any news on when
    Austin Roberts will join the team?

    • Steve Cooke says:

      Supposed to be Thursday or Friday.

      • Brad Warren says:

        Where did you get this info? The last update I was able to find anywhere was a quote f Robert’s father saying he expected the transcript matter to be resolved last Thursday.

  • Robertson / Robertson 2016 says:

    The Charlie Strong “interview” just made my OUffseason. Thank you, Jordan. I haven’t laughed that hard since Blazing Saddles.

  • Bob Edwards says:

    So when do we talk about football?

    • BigJoeBrown says:

      Foos-ball? Buncha overgrown monsters man-handlin’ each other… ‘Member when dat man wanted you to play foos-ball, Bobby?

  • BigJoeBrown says:

    Jordan you’ve had some interesting movie choices the past couple of days…

    • Cam says:

      It’s about that time of year for Oscar contenders, so the dramas and high brow movies are coming out.

    • Jordan Esco says:

      Trailers have been slim pickins of late. So I’ve generally just been posting what’s available for the sake of having something instead of nothing. Don’t take it as a sign of my taste in movies 😉

  • jimintexas says:

    I was laughing hard had the Charlie Strong. Great stuff

  • KJ1123 says:

    Fresno looks funny.

  • Bob Edwards says:

    Because we need an Oklahoma drill even if it is and old one.

    Here’s what can happen after a five loss season:

    • Mike Reed says:

      It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact the we went from 1985 until 2000 between National Championships and endured some of the darkest days of being a Sooner during that time, yet here we are another 15 years later waiting on the next one. After that magical 2000 season i would have NEVER guessed it would have taken this long to get #8. I am so very thankful for Bob Stoops and what he’s done and I am a believer that we will get that elusive #8 very soon(er)!! BOOMER!!

  • Defend Colfax says:

    After reading some of these comments it amazes me how many adults are naive to how politics work.

    • Soonerfandave84 says:

      tell ’em what they want to hear to get elected, sell your votes on the Senate/Congress floor to the highest bidder? Retire after 20 years a multimillionaire

  • J J says:

    Here’s the deal. I am an honest person & not naive. I’ve put myself in regrettable places, including while I was at OU. It’s certainly not anyone else’s business, but it happens. Frank paid the price for the night. Luckily for him the DA didn’t find any reason for criminal charges ((and I don’t care why)). They were 2 colleges students, I am sure neither are proud of it. That does NOT entitle Jenny Carlson to write that hatchet job. She wasn’t even at the interview. I promise as a parent, if it were one of my sons, I would have had my attorney on the phone last night. There would have already been a lawsuit or a retraction. What a piece of crap.

    • Jed says:

      Your attorney would have talked you off the ledge.
      Journalists are virtually a protected class. They can, and do, write pretty much whatever they want about whoever they want.
      It is impossible to ever bring them to account. And the people who own the news outlets are uninterested in having standards as salacious BS sells more ad space.

      • J J says:

        I’ve got a family full of them. It’s absolutely more about representing & defending my child.

        • Jed says:

          And more power to you. I’m just saying that suing or threatening to sue would have been a pointless waste of your money. And the journalists and editors would have simply gotten a laugh out of it.

  • Shelby is a Patriot says:

    Glad to know Baylor fans will be there to watch us kick their ass.

  • KJ1123 says:

    Just saw the new Tarantino Movie trailer…looks good…

  • Wilson says:
