first, I will say I too was a little surprised that Stoops brought him on board....but claire mccaskill in an old windbag...screw her opinion.
How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!
"Sen. McCaskill: Sports leaders put victory over decency..."
She forgot the rest of the sentence:
"…and fans demand they be fired when they don't."
I too was a bit surpassed Stoops took DGB. Yes, they had a long, on-going relationship with him and his family from recruiting and that's easy for an OU fan to accept. But would Stoops have done the same for a lesser player? Probably not, but then again, there would not have been a 2 year recruiting effort for a lesser player. So it's not surprising a non-OU fan would be very cynical.
I'll trust that Stoops knows more about the character of DGB, the situation in greater detail than police reports, and the specific circumstances around DGB's dismissal, than a pontificating Senator. Normally I like McCaskill, but this rang truer of life-long Mizzou butt-hurt toward OU than anything based on reason.
Wait until the Mixon video comes out.
Stoops will get more heat than just from one Senator.
Claire McCaskill's husband abused his previous spouse so I guess she really isn't all that offended by either abusers or second chances, is she?
No doubt. But I think OU will stick to their course of action with Mixon. What the NFL is doing is basically putting out a public opinion poll in order to decide policy on a case by case, week by week basis. It's insane.Originally Posted by SoonerPride
I'm not saying OU is right or wrong about Mixon, but expect a crapstorm.
What a joke of a column. Maybe if it was written from an unbiased position, it would carry more weight. Sounds like another Mizzou fan sucking on sour grapes.
We agree. I'm just saying I hope OU doesn't budge on the follow-up crapstorm and behave all schizo like the NFL. The message should be that this is history and we've dealt with it - move on.
They should stay firm I think
I'm with you. That could have been a blog post by any freakin' butt-hurt Mizzou fan.
How could he have done anything more? He kicked him off the team? Was he supposed to tar and feather him also?

Why does that old battle-axe McCaskill feel the country needs her opinion on Bob Stoops? Maybe Bob could share his opinion of Sen. McCaskill and the job she is doing?
A politician.
Trying to take advantage of public outrage.
What a shock.

He wasn't kicked off the team.How could he have done anything more? He kicked him off the team? Was he supposed to tar and feather him also?
Or kicked out of the school.
I'm just expecting a very bad time after 11/1
Bad time in what way? From who?
Yeah, we get it that you think it will be bad the first 2 dozen times you posted this. Why don't you just use that post as your signature so we don't forget.

Espn. National media. Tmz.Bad time in what way? From who?
You name it.
If it were released today it would be worse. Maybe.
Depends upon how much the national media has moved on from the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson stories.
Yeah, I think all of these kids/young adults who screw up should be shunned and made to suffer until the end of time. No more mistakes for anyone! One mistake and you are f'd.
Who's with me?
