Austin Haywood rumor

[Trophy Husband]

Saw some posts on another site, stating that Haywood has asked to be let back on the team.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Hmmmm.............

[badger]

His dad did that interview with the Oklahoman, where his dad said he was upset when Austin told him he wanted out at OU, but to find a program where he'd be happy. Perhaps he looked around and realized he'd be happiest where he started.

Or perhaps, he just visited Hoosierville and realized what crap facilities even their basketball program has. Kelvin Sampson reportedly told IU when he was coach there that they needed to up their facilities to attract recruits, and IU told him "These are the same facilities that Bobby Knight won with." :eek:

[REDREX]

I was told he was about to be suspended for missing class

[cccasooner2]

I was told he was about to be suspended for missing class

I was told that also (on SoonerFans). :D

[Mad Dog Madsen]

I love rumors... Just sayin'.

[The Maestro]

I heard he was gonna come back if we also let Ahmed Kabba back on the team.

[En_Fuego]

I heard Stoops was going to let him come back only if he changed his first name.

http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/okla/sports/m-footbl/auto_headshot/5634293.jpegI think he was implying his first name needed to change from something other than the Lone Star State capital city. Capisce?

[badger]

I think he was implying his first name needed to change from something other than the Lone Star State capital city. Capisce?

And I was implying that there is nothing wrong with having the first name Austin. Capisce?

[cleller]

I want him to be happy, I want him to stay, I want whatever is best for the team. In reverse order.

[cvsooner]

And I was implying that there is nothing wrong with having the first name Austin. Capisce?Si.

(Though personally, why any true crimson Sooner fan would ever name a kid Austin is beyond me too....]

[En_Fuego]

I was ONLY joking about the Capital of Texas......Not Austin Box or his first name. But I do like Dallas as a name for a girl.

[En_Fuego]

Si.

I know a guy named Dallas. And he lives here in Dallas.

[8timechamps]

I heard he was out past curfew with Kenny Stills' hair.

[PLaw]

I think he needs to grow up - sounds like a center of the universe prima dona that doesn't know the meaning of the word "work".

If he wants back, then make him redshirt next year.

To me he sounds like a confused teenager. Many teenagers are confused when they are in college. Many teenagers consider dropping out or going somewhere else. I wish the best for the kid. My personal opinion, without knowing his circumstance, is that staying with OU football is best for the kid.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

His cousin Mr. Jablowme is all for the move.

Good future for the young man... and will be missed. But we recruit, coach and move on... just like we did with ENA.

Good luck, young man. Hope this isn't an attitude thing... because if it is, you won't find happiness anywhere then.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

[Lott's Bandana]

I moved along.


But I heard I might come back.

[70sooner]

I know a guy named Dallas.

I heard of a girl who did Dallas.........

[Lott's Bandana]

does.

does Dallas.

[tennsooner]

I was ONLY joking about the Capital of Texas......Not Austin Box or his first name. But I do like Dallas as a name for a girl.

Yeah that would be cool and if she grew up and did porn it could be "Dallas does Dallas"

[soonerbrat]

I know Dallas Babe

[BoulderSooner79]

I know a guy named Dallas.

I heard of a girl who did Dallas.........


does.

does Dallas.

Ewwww. She'd be a grandma now.

[stoopified]

Hope he stays,leaving would be monumentally stupid with two seniors graduating.

[Lott's Bandana]

Ewwww. She'd be a grandma now.

And your point is?

[Seamus]

She'd be a GILF.

[colleyvillesooner]

Some of the beat writers are saying he is back on the team or close to it.

[MyT Oklahoma]

I was only trying to be funny for those who didn't catch the humor. I wish Austin only the best with whatever he choses.

[En_Fuego]

Austin Haywood for President !!!

Source tells @SoonerNation that sophomore tight end Austin Haywood is back on the team: http://es.pn/sp54v1 ($) #Sooners

[cvsooner]

I was only trying to be funny for those who didn't catch the humor. I wish Austin only the best with whatever he choses.So he's not changing his name to Norman Haywood?

[NormanPride]

Some kids need to look at their options. Billy did, and he turned out to be quite the Sooner.

[oumartin]

Austin shoulda threatened to leave one week sooner.

[BoulderSooner79]

So he's not changing his name to Norman Haywood?

I heard he was going with Gotebo Haywood.

[cvsooner]

Gotebo? I always liked Lookeba-Sickles myself.

Stoops also addressed a rumor that Jonathan Miller wanted back on instead of going to Illinois State after Whaley got injured, in addition to the Haywood rumor. Apparently the questions annoyed Stoops.

Link (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OU/article.aspx?subjectid=92&articleid=20111101_92_B6_hOUNOT93936)


"Guys who do it the right way ... always end up playing and making a difference and finding success and making success. The ones who don't, we'll see how that works out for everybody. It usually doesn't work out real well."

[oumartin]

So, they're both back on the team? :D

[badger]

Unlike a certain [hairGel], Bob doesn't lie to the media. If he didn't want us all do know that Miller and Haywood were back, he would have left it with "I'm done talking about them." [hairGel] has outright lied to the media on multiple occasions in the past few years and the :stunned: fans brush it off as "Stupid media don't need to know the truth anyways go Gundy." Then afterward when the truth is discovered and Gundy was either not telling it or he outright lied, you wonder if he was too dumb to know the truth, or is just kind of oblivious to what's going on around him, or what.

The biggest example of this was the offensive coordinator thing. [hairGel] was adamant that he was still in control of the offense and there was no plans of adding a Dana Holgorsen to his staff. Less than a week later, a Dana Holgorsen was added to his staff. Derp.

[VA Sooner]

Might have to work extra hard to re-gain his favor but it sounds like it's a done deal to me.

I read Bob's excerpt... case closed. Look elsewhere boys... there's a process and it sounds like Stoops is done with you two. Doghouse... move on.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I do like Dallas as a name for a girl.Better even than Schenectady?


or, Port Asbestos?

[sooneron]

And your point is?

.

[jumperstop]

So is he back on the team? Yes or no? Do we not know know for sure still? What about Miller? Not that I think we should just be letting quitters back on the team because things seem to going their way now...

[btb916]

This reminds me of "Remember the Titans" when Petey quits and then begs to come back. Only I doubt Hanna or Ratterree will give up their starting spots this year...

He was being pestered by the whities though, Haywood's reason are a lot more sellfish probably...

[badger]

Bob seems to kind of be a stickler for setting precedents, that he wants to treat situations the same every time, regardless of the athlete.

Recall when Dusty came back after a year of counseling, hard work and good grades that we were immediately faced with another situation of players getting kicked off the team after Dusty was allowed back in. Immediately, reporters asked Bob what the road would be for certain players (yes, referring to Rhett and JD) for possibly returning. Bob shot it down immediately, saying they were NOT coming back.

Then, think about this season when media (and virtually every Sooner fan) pestered Bob about giving Dom Whaley a scholarship because he was sooooo awesome. Bob was adamant that he would follow past protocol in issuing scholarships to walk-ons.

So, what I think we see in this situation is Bob sticking to past protocol, past precedent, you name it, he's doing things the way he's done them before because he wants consistency and wants to keep control of his tight ship.

[dwarthog]

It may have something to do with if any bridges were burned along the way.

One could reasonably say that Rhett and JD provided the vehicle of their departure which Coach Stoops took advantage of to get those guys gone. Rhett constantly busted at the Hornets games for underage drinking etc.

Hard to tell since none of us were in the room at the time.

Yost knew what was up though..."Petey, you can cheer on your team from the sidelines, and you'll start for me again next year, as a senior!".

[Soonerfan88]

I thought his comments as repeated by Trotter were pretty clear - none of them are allowed back on the team. Back in the day when Billy got homesick, he was back within less than two days, didn't have any other issues, and didn't miss a game IIRC. Haywood's situation appears to have other baggage, maybe grades or practice issues.

There was apparently an issue with some team members. We can surmise the kinks have been worked out, and all is well enough now.

Gotebo? I always liked Lookeba-Sickles myself.

I'm partial to Helena-Goltry, myself....

Use in a sentence: "My fiancee, Quad Cities, was in Bettendorf when we met."

[Soonerfan88]

His name still isn't back on the official roster so I think Stoops meant it when he said he has no time for players who quit and now want back on team.
