So how is the team affected by the Mixon firestorm that has divided the fanbase so much? On some other boards, Boren is being called everything but a white man, posters are lighting into each other like rabid dogs, people on both sides are damn mad and self-righteous...and the season is still a long two weeks off.

How can the team be insulated from this? Does the promising season in front of us already have a haunted flavor to it? The Sooners better not lay another egg like the '13 Texsa game or the natives may go from being restless to being on the warpath!

I don't know, but I just watched Stoops with the media after practice, and he looked off. I couldn't tell if he was sick, or had been run through the ringer with this Mixon thing, or just really PO'd, but he didn't look right. I know I wouldn't want to ask him the wrong question!

Overall, whatever the effects, they can't be good. The situation sucks, terribly. Nothing good happens after midnight.

Could be. It could also be a chance for Mixon to step up and be a man and tell the team to go have a great season and he'll work hard and join them next season.

I'd certainly be interested in knowing if the players think Mixon got screwed. If I were them my thoughts would be "Joe, WTF do you think happens when you knock a girl cold and she gets flown out of state to have reconstructive facial surgery?"

Sadly, had he pushed her back, pinned her to the floor, bear-hugged her, pulled her to the ground by her hair, head-locked her, maybe even slapped her back…just about anything other than right crossed her closed fisted…we'd be talking about something else right now.

Apparently you're supposed to politely ask the young woman would she quit accosting you. Should she fail to heed your pleading you're supposed to curl up in the fetal position and wait for her to tire herself out. Once you've helped her to a chair to rest and given her a refreshing beverage, it's okay to walk away, barring of course she doesn't wish to rest and accost you some more.

Another reason why she left the state and went back to her parents was in order to avoid the violations of her probation for her own legal transgressions in Norman. A combination of the two is more than likely.

Stoops has been very good at dealing with tough situations, and not letting them spiral into monumental meltdowns. With all of the criticism he has received during his tenure, you could never say that his players quit on him. (2006 is the most prominent example, though not the only one, and Mack Brown's petty tirades during the 2010 season followed by the complete collapse of that teams shows that you should not take leadership for granted).

We are a very talented team, and despite the relative turmoil going on right now, I think we are going to move past it, and have a great season.

I would like to add, that Boren, between the Frank Shannon Debacle, and his apparent overruling the AD and coaching staff on Joe Mixon, Stoops could very well be out of here within the next two seasons if there isn't some serious heart to heart.

No, you've got it all wrong. This imposing drunken druggie skank is such an imminent threat to his well being, he had to punch her in the face causing a fractured jaw, fractured cheek bone, fractured sinux and a fractured orbit which caused eye hematoma...in order to 'defend himself' from further harm.

Happily, the law does not require us to do what our mothers would have us do; it merely sets a lowest denominator set of rules. Whereas Joe probably should have been home in bed rather than shoving a second rate Sammy down his neck at 3 in the morning, he instead was giving a worthless piece of garbage a brief, but easy to understand life lesson.

You have proof of all of these alleged injuries? Joe must be one bad mofo...Mike Tyson like with his punches. I am sure the table that got in the way of her going down had NOTHING to do with those injuries.

And for someone who had a fractured jaw, she sure gave a pretty clear and coherent interview on the radio the next day.

There are still a lot of unknowns, but it certainly looks like Mixon is going to fight this...as well he should!

She is not a druggie skank, but she is obviously a ****ty drunk. Mixon is a kid who turned 18 a couple of hours before this happened, he made a bad decision in the heat of the moment and for that he is going to lose a lot...while the ****ty drunk proceeds as she did nothing wrong...

Umm, she was popped for a larger than personal use quantity of hydrocodone. Now, whether she was selling or just holding it for a good friend is unknown, but my characterization, overblown though it may be, is closer to the facts than the JunkieFelonSkank would probably want the truth to be.

Fair is fair, Joe loses a year of development toward his chosen career; she should get burned to the ground and go reinvent herself somewhere else. I'd personally suggest something she seems headed toward by inclination anyway. I think the Safari Club on Patpong Road I in Bangkok would be the perfect venue. There are several over on Soi Cowboy that are also known to hire western girls; admittedly mostly Eastern Europeans, but a trashy Texas girl would be a bit of a change up play. Phone numbers are in the book.

I will agree with you that there is an amount of supposition on my part concerning Boren, but it is an educated guess...Stoops has talked about suspensions in the past Dvorcek and Broyles come to mind, but has refused to make one comment concerning Mixon. This leads me to believe that this is out of his hands.

I am pissed about this, I think the kid is getting the shaft because of external factors, e.g. Ray Rice, DGB, and the FSU situation. Those things should not be used against Mixon...he is a newly minted 18 y/o kid that found himself with a **** sandwich and very little bread. It is way too easy for those of us who are well past 25 y/o to tell a kid what he should have done...we have the benefit of life experiences that he does not.

And I agree with you on much of that. I'll leave the external factors such as Ray Rice aside as I see no reason to get wound up about speculation I can't prove. The thing you and many other discount is that there was a verbal escalation prior to the physical escalation and all stories point to Mixon being fully involved in that. That DA called it out and he had access to every witness present and most of them were from Mixon's party. The physical encounter doesn't happen if there is no verbal escalation, so I don't feel Mixon is totally innocent here. I still don't think a full season suspension is the best choice of punishment, but it's a judgement call.

I also agree about the verbal altercation and I am not discounting that fact...but I will submit that words are one thing and physically assaulting someone are two different things entirely. I would also like to go on record and say that Mixon is fact not completely innocent in this entire ordeal.

I also agree that it could be called jumping to conclusions adding Ray Rice to the discussion, but I think it is a fair assumption. Boren has proven to be politically savvy in the past and I think he doing so again in both the Mixon and Shannon case.

Yes, words are one thing, but once a situation escalates, emotions rule and reason goes out the window. And in today's society, the N-word can be part of a hate crime and the F-word is pretty close behind. I think it is relevant that the DA *did not* say the N-word was used and the only one sticking to that story is Mixon's lawyer. I give what Molitor says and what Mixon's lawyer says zero weight unless it can be backed up by witness and/or video evidence.

The issue I have with that explanation is that that is not how the modern world works. Video of violent acts tend to get leaked very quickly, and even if they are removed shortly after the damage is already done, it is far too late, as people have downloaded it, made copies, etc.

I don't know exactly when the DA got to the tape. I am assuming he wasn't at the bar having a drink, and the second Mixon fled the scene, he went to the video room, stole the tape from the owner, drove right down to the courtoom, and presented it to the judge.

I have to assume that for a number of days, no one had any interest at all of posting this "violent video" on youtube or sending it to any media outlet, even though it is the biggest story in the Sooner's offeason, then the DA got his hands on it before anyone could change their minds.

Also, if the video is as bad as some claim it is, then how would the case be affected by showing it to the public? If Mixon really did punch her in the face, and everyone saw it, would that make it less likely to get a conviction?

BoulderSooner79
8/19/2014, 11:28 AM
You seem pretty hung up on the video. Maybe that will be justified when it becomes public (and it will). I don't see any dark conspiracy here. I'm as curious as anyone, but it easy to see how it might not have been leaked. 911 was called and the responding police may have asked the employees for any video at that time. The PD may have contacted the owner and told him not to publish it right away. Who knows.

Mixon's suspension is appropriate, measured, and proportionate to other similar suspensions (dude from Michigan). Didn't Broyles get a year for stealing gas? This is worse than that. He could have killed her. The he man woman hater's crowd would have us think that the girl is to blame. But it was Joe who raised his hand and crushed her face when he did not have to. He was not in danger and did not need to defend himself from a push, a slap, and a racial slur from a drunk idiot that no doubt he knows how to handle without his fists. He chose to take physical action, and the actions have consequences. He still has a chance to sit a year, and come back and break records just like Broyles did. Hat in hand and grateful for a second chance.

How does this affect the team?

I'm guessing it really doesn't right now.

When Stoops brought in the new coaches, I felt like there was a change of philosophy. One of the biggest was the "next man up" mentality. We lost a lot of talent throughout the season, and played the best game of the year in the Sugar Bowl. We lost our leader on defense, what appeared to be a difference changer on the line, and our most versatile offensive weapon. We missed big time players for some games (Colvin, Williams), and half of our offensive line at the time it mattered most. Yet, we still finished a pretty damn good season. I think this team knows that it's bigger than any one player, and to win, everyone has to be ready when their name is called.

Having Mixon available this year would have been nice. At the very least, he would have added depth. However, we still have a couple (at least) of guys, that aren't exactly slouches, to carry the ball.

Mixon was a highly touted recruit, but he wasn't a team leader.

I don't think this will be a distraction, or will cripple this team in any way.

For the first time in a while, I think this team understands it's the sum of all parts that's important.

A Borenite is a term that is defined as a Sooner poster that marches in lockstep with PC Pres. Boren. They are happy young Joe Mixon was excessively punished, and they feel deep sympathy for the helpless victim, Miss Molitor. Further, the Borenite takes great pleasure in the knuckle-dragging Neanderthals being irritated by Boren's heavy-handedness. They got their way, more than most of them dared hope, and now they wish to push said victory in our face. They will probably secretly take pleasure if the Sooner football team loses a game this season due to a weak rushing attack. They are sitting fat and happy right now...just like Boren.

She suffered "a fractured jaw, fractured cheek bone, fracture sinus and fractured orbit which caused a hematoma on the left eye."

A player accepts a scholly from a elite D1 football program implies he accepts the extra rules from the school. And they were not applied blindly as the people in charge decided after careful consideration. And Mixon is free to leave. So you may not like it, but in this case it is perfectly fair.

Yes he did accept the scholarship but the other side of the equation is that OU aggressively recruited Mixon. If Joe Mixon broke any team rules then this certainly has never been stated by any member of the administration. I just find it incredible that anybody would hold it against Mixon for decking an assailant. Female or not. He was pushed he was slapped. Nowhere do I read or is it a given that she was ready to stop the assault at one slap before he struck her to put an end to it.

I've already said I thought the penalty was harsher than I expected, but I also accept the school is completely within their rights to take this action.

Fractures are not the same as a "broken face" in my opinion. Being able to talk fine the next day is not a broken face in my opinion. He could have caused her brain damage and completely seperated the bones in her face if he actually hit her as hard as you are making it out to be. I thought you might actually point me to a source that has more of a medical report than the statements of the DA. Either way the fact that you are calling anyone scum for defending themselves is complete ignorance on your part.

You have your opinions, we have ours, but when you act all high and mighty like you are so much better than people with differing opinions then that is you being ridiculous.

For those people that think that way I would say the Howitzer / pea shooter thing is a specious analogy. She apparently shoved him, slapped him and he responded with a (one) blow that incapacitated his attacker. Some people here will view his behavior as atrocious, others will say job well done. There will never be an agreement of what is reasonable because these two very different viewpoints have a completely different nexus. If you are of one viewpoint you see this as Mixon hitting a woman. If you are of the other viewpoint you see it as Mixon taking out an assailant. That's why this is such a polarizing event.

He is an elite athlete full of fast twitch muscle - most regular guys his size couldn't fracture bones if they tried. She was an obviously intoxicated person 2/3 his size. The "woman" part is just more input that she was likely smaller and weaker. And he had plenty of time to size her up because there was a verbal exchange going on. A slap is insulting and infuriating. That's why it was often used to challenge someone to a duel - cause someone to accept a duel on angry impulse. But a slap is highly unlikely to harm and it didn't in this case. "One blow to incapacitate his attacker" sounds like a cop or a lawyer justifying excessive force. Bob Stoop isn't a judge probing the corners of a law book - he is showing the player and his team what he expects. He has close to 100 guys under his watch at all times that are elite athletes more capable of harming others than the average person. And these guys lives revolve around a violent, aggressive game. Bob has to keep the aggression on the field.

The "woman" part is just more input that she was likely smaller and weaker. And he had plenty of time to size her up because there was a verbal exchange going on. A slap is insulting and infuriating. That's why it was often used to challenge someone to a duel - cause someone to accept a duel on angry impulse. But a slap is highly unlikely to harm and it didn't in this case. "One blow to incapacitate his attacker" sounds like a cop or a lawyer justifying excessive force. Bob Stoop isn't a judge probing the corners of a law book - he is showing the player and his team what he expects. He has close to 100 guys under his watch at all times that are elite athletes more capable of harming others than the average person. And these guys lives revolve around a violent, aggressive game. Bob has to keep the aggression on the field.

I agree with the bold part. The rest, I have to call nonsense. There are guys that weigh 140#'s soaking wet and will break your jaw with one punch. Some peeps are just heavy handed. You also have guys that their face is one big button. You hit that button and the fist automatically fly's. She succeeded in getting his ire up then slapped him. He may have thought it was going to be nothing but an argument with a drunk girl and it took an unexpected left hand turn that caused him to automatically react. I don't know, you don't know.

I'm generalizing - of course there are small people that would be a danger in a fight - women included. But it's unlikely and more unlikely if they are obviously intoxicated (emphasized in every report from both sides). I just doubt people really believe in this self defense stuff. Sure, it's justified by law. But applying Occam's Razor, what is more likely? Mixon really felt threatened --or-- getting slapped in the face really pissed him off? Most guys I know would not feel threatened, but almost all of them would get really pissed. I'm betting that's what happened to Mixon too, but as you say, I don't know.

Of course I could put out a pole and ask if people would be just as outraged if Mixon were a 2-star who at best might play special teams? Would they feel it was as unjust if he was a UT player? Not sure I'd get honest answers though.

if he was a ut player, he should be automatically and immediately be banned from Division 1, or whatever the division the major conferences are in.

I can honestly say I'd feel the same in this case. If he was a whorn I'd still think he was in the right, but I'd hardly give a damn.

1) I am haunted by this mental image.
2) I am equally bemused by considering how this might be done.

Well, that's that. Joe was spotted after practice, supporting the players we will see play this year! Lucky sob may get the privilege of playing football for Oklahoma.

I think this team knows that it's bigger than any one player, and to win, everyone has to be ready when their name is called.

It was for possession of hydrocodone or some ****

She is probably needing hydrocodone now. Bad for Joe but glad she is off campus permanently.
