Jaz suspended for Texas

[badger]

More info soon

[soonersam]

Poor Jaz...... Thats really to bad

[CatfishSooner]

bummer...but since he hasn't played yet not that big o' deal...

[badger]

OK, just saw it up - Link (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OU/article.aspx?subjectid=92&articleid=20100929_92_0_NORMAN76156)

In a nutshell, he made a bad tweet about what happened in Austin yesterday.

You'd think the kids would learn after what happened with our hotshot red haired receiver a few years ago :(

[Jello Biafra]

bummer...but since he hasn't played yet not that big o' deal...

at least we know WHY he hasnt played yet....

[badger]

Here (http://twitter.com/JazReynolds) is a link to his twitter, he hasn't taken down the remarks that got him in trouble yet... dude, where is your brain?!

[TMcGee86]

suspended indefinitely.

I think we may have seen the last of Jaz. This can't help his other off field issues.

[BoulderSooner79]

A few posters on this board tried to get themselves suspended for the same reason. Lucky for them, Bob is not a mod here.

[madillsoonerfan5353]

See ya! :pop: There is no sense in saying **** like that! IMHO

[TahoeSOONER]

It's down, anyone know what he said?

[goingoneight]

First, he has a lackluster offseason in conditioning and practice, then he's academically ineligible, finally barely makes the grades to get back into the swing of things and now he gives UT bulletin board material? He'll be lucky if he plays again this year. As stated above, he's not showing the signs of maturity it takes to play for this program. He's only 19, so hopefully he grows TF up and doesn't get himself Bomarized.

[TXBOOMER]

I expected him to play a lot this year after he showed some potential last year. Not real smart.

[goingoneight]

Jesus Tap-Dancing Tebow, why can't players learn what to say leading up to the game? Congratulations on giving UT another reason to want to beat us. Larry Birdine would be proud.

If you're gonna bump your gums at the 'Horns, save it for the gridiron when nobody can hear you and coaches can't plaster your quote all over their locker room.

[OUthunder]

Young and dumb. He's a goner.

[badger]

It's down, anyone know what he said?

He's joking around about having money everywhere in his room... before anyone else can say it, if you are a booster that is paying a wide receiver who has zero receptions this season, then YOU. ARE. DUMB.

Actually, if you pay any of our players, I want to fight you. I will totally go women's self defense class on you and justify any bodily injury by yelling "THAT's MY PURSE" followed up by "I DON'T KNOW YOU!" before kicking you in the most painful spot possible for jeopardizing Oklahoma's chances of competing fairly and within NCAA rules.

And still, any injury I inflict that causes you to be unable to stand without wincing in pain for a week will be insignificant compared with that of UT-Austin's campus after enduring such a scare yesterday. So, it's ironic in a way.

(and yes, I know I'm long-winded. eff off!)

[cccasooner2]

Was he majoring in English?

[C&CDean]

Ebonics.

[OK2U]

We'll never beat Texas if we suspend OUr players for expressing their first amendment rights.

Hell, at Texas players are suspended for one half of a game for homicide.
(just kidding)

[Leroy Lizard]

We really need to pay closer attention to the character and intelligence of potential recruits. (And by "we," I mean the country as a whole.)

[Soonermagik]

Stoops needs to have a rule that players can't use social media during the season. Boise State has the same rule. What a dumb comment.

Oh well... at least he isn't a starter. Heck, he never plays, so not really a loss. He's just an immature kid who caused a distraction.

[No1Better]

Way to go Jaz! You just blew a four year scholarship to a great institution, but please, continue tweeting away...hope it's worth it.

[Leroy Lizard]

I doubt he's gone for good unless his other issues are taken into account. This alone is not worth major punishment. (After all, he didn't threaten anyone.)

As for taking players' social media away, I'm not for it. These are adults and they should be provided all the freedom to screw up like adults. And they should be punished when they screw up.

[yermom]

i think we can find someone to catch zero balls

"Just walked outside, great day!"

"Saw a cute girl, she noticed me."

"Stopped to buy a paper. Headlines a downer."

"Felt the urge, went to take a dump"

"Notes from the little room: BAD DECOR."

"Back on the street. Feeling light on my feet."

"Tweetin and walkin....into a pole."

"Head hurts, fingers, too."



Seriously, has anyone ever accomplished anything of utility whatsoever on Twitter?

Technology in search of a purpose.

[badger]

What's even more eyebrow raising is that according to his Twitter page, he had 194 followers, which were probably the local media, whoever the athletic department designates to follow player's exploits off-field, and a handful of others.

For less than 200 people, Jaz blew his chance to be a bigtime receiver at a top-10 program.

[Hot Rod]

Well, that's a Reynolds Wrap :rolleyes:

(I know, I know, that was bad.)

"suspended for air force due to academic reasons."

well color me shocked for this roacket-surgeon saying something stupid:rolleyes: .

Buh bye!

Stoops comments



Because of his insensitive remarks on Twitter relative to Tuesday's tragedy in Austin, we have suspended Jaz Reynolds from our team indefinitely. Our rivalry with Texas will not come at the expense of dignity and respect. We have great concern for what happened in Austin and I am incredibly disappointed that someone connected with our team would react so callously. We have taken immediate action and I hope by doing so have illustrated how seriously we view this matter.

Stoops-speak translation - you better look for another program, you ain't getting it done and you have fallen on the depth chart. I'll help you transfer..

[stoopified]

Here (http://twitter.com/JazReynolds) is a link to his twitter, he hasn't taken down the remarks that got him in trouble yet... dude, where is your brain?!Exactly

[OK2U]

Jaz recently posted this on his twitter, presumably about his own actions:

you a fool boy...

Maybe I'm moving a lil too fast but everything that happens I can't take back...live and learn


The best teacher i ever had is LIFE.......i hope i dont fail

[goingoneight]

Badj, it appears this time the "money on the floor" is just a stupid comment off of the website "shaking my head news." Thank God.

[LiveLaughLove]

He made good use of the one catch he's had at OU. Its plastered all over his tweeter page. ;)

[meoveryouxinfinity]

The republican in me asks what has happened to the freedom of speech. Yes, including the freedom to make yourself and your university look bad.
I thought it was wrong when the UT kid was kicked off the team for saying "get your guns ready" or something to that extent after Obama won the election. And that's different because it could cause racial tension on the team.
However, I'd go Mike Leach and say these kids don't need facebook, twitter, or any other kind of social networking profiles.

[soonerloyal]

Buhbye, dumba**. Free up that scholly for someone worth it.

They don't NEED it. But that doesn't mean we should take it away. Not sure what the answer is. On one hand playing for the U is a privilege. But that doesn't make them cattle either.

[VA Sooner]

Idiot. Good riddance...

[Leroy Lizard]

Idiot. Good riddance...

Dude, I'm still here.

Oh.

[OU-HSV]

What an *** clown. I'm sure he found his way off the team for good.

[Boomer.....]

Just a dumb thing to do. Chalk it up to youth.

[SoonerInSpringdale]

I don't like the way a lot of people are responding to this.

I have to wonder if there would be the same responses if this was a player that was productive like Broyles, Jones, Murray?

What is worse? What Jaz said or some of the crimes Broyles was involved in before he came here? I mean ... It's freaking twitter. I hope he is suspended the rest of the year but allowed to play again for OU.

Personally it would p*ss me off no matter who it was. It's a simple case of someone not using their brain. No matter who it was they should have action taken against them.

And fill me in here...what are the "crimes" Broyles was involved in?? All I ever heard of was the gas incident, was there more?

[SoonerInSpringdale]

I don't mind people saying it's dumb but a lot of people just want to write him off completely.

If gas thief broyles gets a break then Reynolds should too.

So you didn't answer my question though

[sooneron]

To quote Curly,


Well... bye.

[Collier11]

Heres a quarter, buy a clue...1st of all, Reynolds has now been in trouble 3 times if you consider this summer, he made the university look bad, made himself look bad, was completely insensitive to the situation in Austin, etc...

Plus, Broyles was punished

[OU-HSV]

Exactly. And Broyles punishment was basically he had to sit out a year, where they actually would've probably had him playing as a true freshman, correct?

[Collier11]

Yep

[sooner59]

I only know of the one crime for Broyles but it was a crime I guess. It was a facepalm moment just like this. But I have no problem giving a kid who did something stupid, but harmless a second chance. Maybe he sits the rest of this year and gets a chance to earn his way back next year. I guess we'll see what ole Bob feels is best.

[OU-HSV]

Yep

To me that was plenty of punishment for Broyles. It pretty much put his college and future career on hold, considering he'll be in the NFL I'm guessing

[Collier11]

And actually, if I remember correctly Broyles didnt steal the gas in that no one knew what he was doing, if that makes sense. Apparently someone that worked there gave him a gas key when he shouldnt have had one. Still theft but a little different

[sooner59]

Yeah, Broyles deal wasn't that bad, IMO. He should have known better. Just like Jaz should have known better. Other than academics, I didn't know of other troubles for Jaz. But if he has been in trouble for other reasons, then maybe he has already used his second chance.

[Collier11]

Well, even if he hadnt previously been in trouble, you just cant say stupid stuff like that. Its bad, it looks bad, it is a no win situation for the school and Coach Stoops

[Scott D]

I heard that the jazreynolds twitter account was actually jlew

[Collier11]

Jlew wishes he were black

[Scott D]

it's jlew's conspiracy to keep cameron kenney on the field because it makes kenny stills look that much better.

[JLEW1818]

trade me your tight end you turd

[Crucifax Autumn]

Jlew wishes he were black

You mean he's not?

[Collier11]

who?

[Collier11]

You mean he's not?

He's black only from the waste up

[JLEW1818]

FREAKING C. PORTIS IS UP FOR A TRADE!!!!

20 POINTS A WEEK GUARANTEED!

[Collier11]

who you tryin to trade that load of crap to?

[Scott D]

I'm still laughing about how he thinks I'm gonna trade the #1 point getting TE for a running back who won't crack my starting lineup.

[BoulderSooner79]

Life lesson: you have to know your boss. A full ride scholly is a high paying job (especially if you are NFL worthy) and the head coach is the boss. If the boss has a quirk about dumb tweets, don't do it if you want to get ahead.

[Leroy Lizard]

Without all the other troubles, a one-game suspension probably would have sufficed. He didn't break any laws or NCAA rules. He just sent out a tweet that was stupid and mean-spirited.

This is not like Jarboe, who posted a video that made it appear that he had an issue with violence.

With all the other problems, I think his days here are limited. Judging by his intellect, I'm not sure he belonged on a college campus anyway. So I won't shed a tear.

[Collier11]

If it was up to me I would suspend him for the year, force him to get his grades and his mind right. At that point, if he wants to continue to play on the team he can try and earn his spot on the roster this summer.

Of course, its not my decision so...

[yermom]

sounds like he was on a short leash anyway

but yeah, if he gets right, i'm sure he'll be back by next season

[Sooner70]

This might've done Jaz in. He's at least got two strikes against him in the Stoops accounting. At best, he may have one more mistake to make before he's gone, and it probably doesn't have to be a big one.

Bob don't put up with crap from a first teamer or a walk on. That's Bob & why I like him so much.

[85Sooner]

How could anyone think that kind of thing is funny. Especially this week. He is lucky he is still on the Team.

[oupride]

Huh? What happened?

[Mad Dog Madsen]

He's not on the team anymore...

[Sooner04]

On a side note, I'm pretty GD frustrated with our Padres. Going from "Best Record in the NL" to "Game and a Half Out of Wildcard" in less than a month is pretty annoying.

It's a hell of a lot worse than annoying. It's been agonizing for me.

[oupride]

Is he off the team or just suspended? http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OU/article.aspx?subjectid=92&articleid=20100929_92_0_NORMAN76156 says suspended.

For the same reason that half of SF thought it was funny. It's typical gallows humor and just about everyone does it. But not publicly.

Uh, no. It's way worse than that. It's been a slow, excruciating death.

That's why baseball sucks. You're on a losing streak, and you know there's another game to lose the next day. And the day after that. And the day....

[Collier11]

Kinda like my Cards this year, hey weve scored 2 or less runs with one of the best pitching staffs in the majors for about 12 straight games, maybe we will score 3 or more tonight. Hey, Wainwright has 11 losses with a 2.40 era, blah blah blah

[Scott D]

Felix Hernandez called and said Wainwright ain't got nothin' on him.

[Collier11]

Shiiiiii... Waino, Hernandez, Halladay. 3 Best pitchers in baseball


Once Hernandez closes out an LCS and a WS in his 1st full year in the big leagues and then goes on to win 19, and 20 games in back to back years, we can talk :D

[Collier11]

Felix Hernandez called and said Wainwright ain't got nothin' on him.

Whats sad is that if you look at Waino the last two years he is 39-19. If you give him 3 or more runs in alot of those losses it would be more like 50-8. The offense has failed him alot the last 2 years

He didn't break any NCAA rules. He didn't commit a crime. He said something dumb online. Similar things have been said on this very board about this same incident. See here: http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145142 and look at Pilobolus' comments.
It is a politically correct move to boot this kid off the team. And it is wrong.

This incident isn't worth kicking the kid off the team. I completely disagree with that. It was a stupid JOKE.

[Collier11]

No one ever said he was off the team, suspended indefinitely could mean 1 game or forever...why dont you wait til Stoops makes his final judgment.

Maybe Stoops is waiting to see how he reacts to the punishment and if he learns anything. Part of Stoops job IS teaching life lessons and this is one of them.

Also, this was just one thing piled on top of other stupid and selfish things Reynolds has done, im certain that Stoops knows more about the guy than you do

Do I think he should be gone permanently?

No.

But these kids are ambassadors of the program and of the university. He did not represent either -- to say nothing of himself or his teammates -- with dignity or class.

He should not be kicked off the team, but there should be a punishment.

[KantoSooner]

I, too, would leave it with Bob. As silly as it was, the risk was that it would become a distraction. If the guy isn't/wasn't a big part of the Offense, you could sit him for the game, squelch the 'issue' and move on.

Kind of like junior sales associates getting drunk and obnoxious at a trade show. Maybe next time, they don't 'get' to go.

[Widescreen]

If he ends up getting booted, I suspect it will be because this was the final straw, not because this is the worst offense he could've committed.

[Scott D]

In I believe 10 of Felix's 12 losses, the Mariners have scored 1 or fewer runs. Besides, Wainwright would be like 30 games under .500 if he'd pitched for the M's the last 3 years ;)
