Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
Don't know quite what to say, lol
Not my chair not my problem thats what i say
Pretty pathetic....
From El Paso Times:
Futures: Britt Mitchell is a name Miner fans should keep an eye on. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound true freshman was one of the more coveted offensive linemen in the state of Texas last season while playing for Class A powerhouse Roscoe near Abilene.
He signed with Oklahoma, graduated early and went through spring drills with the Sooners. He didn't like Oklahoma and, after looking around -- and losing a significant amount of weight because he thought he might join the Marines -- decided to continue his career at UTEP.
He has to sit out this year because of the transfer rule, though as a true freshman a redshirt makes sense anyway, and is hurt right now, but is looking forwad to beginning practice with the Miners.
"I just didn't enjoy it up there" in Norman, Mitchell said. "Since I've been here at UTEP I've loved every minute of it. I like it a lotbetter here."
I wonder how much of him not liking it was the amount of competition?

Not sure. But some kids do not fit in at OU. We have seent his kind of stuff before. However, this is the first time I seen a player lie about joining the service to get out of his LOI.Originally Posted by Curly Bill
Either way, I wish him luck. No need in talking bad about a kid that did not like it here.
And for the record: I think the competitive issue was probably about 75% of the issue.
Skip Bayless, is that you?
I wouldn't talk bad about him as I don't know him at all to do so...
...but the difference in playing at Roscoe to OU is huge.

Yes it is. I wish him luck in his UTEP playing career.
To bad not everyone can love the Mecca of College Football.

Britt, it would be better for people to think you a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it.....

Totally agree.
Oh, BFD. If he didn't like, let him go. He wouldn't give it his all if he didn't want to be there, so who cares? It takes a certain kind of screwball to devote everything that they are to a game. Don't get me wrong, I love college screwba- I mean football and my wife think that I am a screwball for loving it so much, but screw her. It's not like her damned Oprahs and Dr.Phils are so great. Hell, it's my DVR and she fills the whole damned thing up with those sorry shows. They aren't much better than Springer and his damned shows about shemales and stuff. Shemales? That's just disgusting. Wait- what was I talking about? So Britt Mitchell left OU to become a shemale? Fine. UTEP can have him/her.
I'm working up a Rondo thirst.
whoa! You need less coke. If he didn't like it at OU fine, leave! But to say you are going to join the Marines and have people respect that decision and to say good luck and to think he is going of to fight for our right to watch Football on Saturday and then he just goes and signs w/ a different school. That is bullstuff! I hope he sits the bench for 3 years! To think he was leaving our beloved school to fight for a bigger cause and then to lie. Did he even talk to any Marine recruiters? Or did he stop a 7-Eleven and buy a bumper sticker. Sorry but I think he is sorry for leaving the way he did. If you don't fit in or you are scared of competition, then just say it. Don't Lie! BOOMER SOONER ! ! !
I doubt if he lied. I suspect that those were his intentions. He's just a kid and doesn't have a clue what he wants to do with his life. I just don't care. He didn't do something like Jarboe did and disgrace himself and the school. He just flaked. Twice. I doubt if he would have lost the weight to join the Marines otherwise.

If your wanting to join the Marines....why doesn't he just go do that.
He can go to School later.
Why risk getting hurt playing football.
One word....Juarez, Mexico.
I can't imagine living in El Paso and having a good time. It is the armpit of the United States.
Maybe he is a huge fan of Marty Robbins.
Just as well,If he can't handle being a Sooner,he couldn't handle the Marines.

This is the same guy everyone thought was giving up an opportunity to play football to serve our country. And it took a couple of months for anyone to clear it up? Dude's a worm in my book.
