I hate this because I'm always critical of how other teams and coaches handle these situations because I feel some coaches....mack.....do not punish these wrong doings hard enough. And now i'm hoping Bob goes light on the two.

If true, they need big help now and a light punishment. The 2nd time (if they was) the other way around.

individually this seems to be the case, but it seems like the players get a get out of jail free card to start

a DUI isn't like missing curfew or a PI

I would say do nothing,after all florida nor texas would.If you want to win the mnc you have to have some thugs on your team,if not we would be baylor.Bob should pass some money under the table to the Norman police department just like in Austin,just to make sure if it happens again it goes unnoticed.

Depending on what happened, Jefferson may be guilty of disrespecting the law and acting like an *** toward police officers. That could point to a more serious punishment in the eyes of Stoops. You gotta' cooperate with the police.

Sarcasm fueled by bitterness toward opposing coaches. We hack on Mack for easing up on players' misbehaviors, but Stoops is guilty of that as well as far as the fans of other teams is concerned. I think all coaches, with few exceptions, tend to give out lenient sentences in the eyes of opposing fans. Right now there are probably Horn fans claiming that Stoops will do nothing because he always looks the other way, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Well I feel like I should interject my opinion because I saw both of them last night at about 11PM. I'm not going to get into details because they have enough on their plates at the moment.

I will say this, his FB pictures had pictures of them drinking with different girls I know and they were tagged. I wasn't even his friend on FB but eventually some journalist will figure it out and pick a program (I'm praying it's not OU) and all it takes is one person who is in pictures with them drinking for this example because they are underage.

It's a sad deal, and you don't wish it upon any player, let alone two with as bright a future as they have on the gridiron. But hopefully it's lesson learned and this won't happen again.

I don't think tats and one stupid mistake like this automatically makes him a thug. He may not be a choir boy but, damn, give the kid a chance. Maybe he learns from this. The coaches (and the large support staff) seems to do a good job at teaching guys responsibility and helping them grow as people, not just football players. I also think that this team has some good leaders that can help the younger guys out.

I used to tutor for the athletic department and I got to know some of the guys. There are some thugs, especially when they first get to campus, but alot of them mature during college... christ, this guy is 18 and before this he probably thought he was invicible. I bet he gets the message now.

Let me get this straight. He blew under a .08 correct? And because of some stupid law he gets a DUI because he's younger.

The NFL won't even care.

It's like a 3rd degree misdemeanor IF HE IS CONVICTED.

Cops aren't the judge, jury, and executioner last I checked.

Send his *** packing...

So, I take it you don't like tattoo's? I didn't know by having a tattoo of the state your from makes you a thug. Maybe he is proud of his home state. Just saying. These days its pretty difficult to find anyone under 30 without one. I have about 25% of my body covered in ink with most of them visible in a t-shirt. I also work in the medical field.... and I get nothing but compliments especially from little old ladies :D . Stereotyping is wrong, and categorizing this kid as a thug because he has them and happened to get a DUI is absurd. People make mistakes, especially young adults.

Now, on whether or not these kids will receive a game suspension.... It's too early to tell. A one game suspension is probable and most likely with Stoops. With its timing being so far from the beginning of the season I can also see this all being handled internally. This gives Stoops a long time to punish them in the weight room and with Schmitty.

Besides, the onslaught of psycho Horns has jaded the NFL towards such things. A DUI is nothing as far as the NFL is concerned. Thanks to Texas, they just want the players to pass a Rorschach test.

I agree. But if the drinking age were 18, he may have not even gotten the DUI. That was my point. We don't know his blood alcohol level, so that is impossible to know for sure. But in some cases, this is true.

And DUI (driving under the influence) does not necessarily mean driving drunk.

Allowing soldiers to drink at a young age is probably not in the best interest of the military. When it comes to military matters, it's what is best for the organization, not the individual.

The military does (or certainly used to) allow 18-21 year olds to consume alcohol. On a military base the enlisted men's club (and at the bowling alley on Tinker AFB) we were allowed to purchase and consume beverages with our military ID.

The only place military personnel underage can drink is in foreign countries that the law says 18 year olds can drink. If the country has no law, up until about 3 years ago it was up to the Commanding Officer to make the choice. That is no longer the case and if there is no local law, the the minimum age to drink is 21.*

Of course in the vast, vast majority of other countries they could care less how old you are and can and will be served at just about any bar. But if they are caught then they will be brought up on UCMJ charges.

Now, here's an interesting point: my daughter is in the process of applying to OU and, during the orientation and tour they must have repeated 4-5 times that OU operates a pick-up-and-drive-home service that is strictly no questions asked. Apparently the admin feels that they'd rather face allegations of being lax than having kids drive into bridge abutments. And this service, they stressed, is good throughout the OKC/Norman area; meaning you can be in Bricktown, partying, and call for a ride if you lose track of the tequila shots.
I think this sounds like a very, very smart program. I don't want my daughter to drink herself legless; but if she does, I want her to have an easy, safe way to get home.
Seems like a number I would have kept in my wallet when I was in school.

It is asinine to drink and drive in today's world. With cell phones and facebook, it is stupid not to call someone. I mean let's say he called Bob Stoops or Josh Heupel. Yes, they would be pissed because they had to get up but I can guarantee you that they wouldn't be as pissed as they are all right now with a DUI charge. EVERYONE has someone out there who is sober who will come get them. We will be pissed but we WILL do it.

No, they just don't think they're so drunk that they can't drive home and make it without being pulled over. It's no different than speeding on the freeway; we don't think we'll be caught or our speeding is going to actually cause an accident.

It isn't necessarily that simple. You've had a few, but "you're okay." But maybe I should call someone to pick me up. But what do I do about my car? How do I come get it, and are they going to tow it?

Sure, if the bar is local this isn't going to be too bad, as you can probably get a ride the next day. But being stuck at home while your car sits in OKC is no fun, especially if you're not sure it's still there.

Find me some "6% " beer thats is a common domestic.:rolleyes:

Pretty sure that the 3.2% limit Oklahoma imposes is based on weight, too. That's roughly equivalent to 4% by volume since alcohol is less dense than the rest of what makes up beer. 4% ABV is stronger than most (maybe all) light beers, which is what most people I knew drank in college. Bud is relatively strong at 5% ABV, or 4% by weight.

There nothing wrong with having tattoos. The only problem I would have with it is if the tattoos were representing a gang or some other form of questionable content. One of my very close friends has tattoos and he is nowhere close to being a thug or gangsta. He just now started EMT school and will become a paramedic once he gets through.

Now onto the unfortunate incident regarding Tony and Kenny. What Kenny and Tony did was flat out wrong and senseless and will be punished severely for it after Stoops and Smitty get done with them. That's not including the embarrassment that they not only put on themselves but their teammates, coaches, and families. The only thing that us fans can do at this point is just hope and pray that they will learn from this but it's going to be up to them with their actions going forward.

Visible tattoos really make you question a person's intelligence, as they are pretty much committing you to never getting a job with a decent company. Good luck at a job interview with tattoo's on your neck or your hands or something. Even anything visible when you're wearing short sleeves you'll have to worry about covering up in any situation where you'll be around potential future employers.

Have we really turned this thread into an argument on tattoos? The entire cultural attitude has changed on tats if you are younger than 35. I certainly question the wisdom of such a shift, but you're hard pressed to find somebody in their 30s that doesn't have a tat these days. A good friend of mine already has quite a few on her arms, shoulders, and body, and is only adding more. She has very fair skin so the coloring looks pretty good, but I gotta think that in a few years she's gonna wonder why she got a bunch of tats of anime characters on her skin. Still, that's the attitude with the younger generations. And increasingly, you see older folks getting them too as they become more socially acceptable.

I don't have any yet, but am not completely averse to them either. I have an idea for one that I think would look pretty good and is meaningful to me. I do think that tramp stamps and tribal armbands/patterns are pretty stupid though. They scream redneck. And sorry if I offended half of you on here. I do know a lot of folks with tribal designs as well. They don't mean anything. You aren't in any tribe. They just "look cool"... In my opinion, if you aren't Kerry King of Slayer, avoid the tribal crap. Also, IMO, the darker your skin, the worse your tats look. Most of the NBA and much of the NFL would benefit from a lack of tats. You simply can't see or admire tats on black guys, so what's the point of plastering yourself with a bunch of visible ink if you're black?
