    OUr players recited the Lord's Prayer, then walked out of practice

    According to OU, it was a captain's decision not to practice.
    Remember kids: Everything you say and do is potentially being recorded by a cell phone. Everyone is one mistake on video away from being an Internet pariah. Please think about the consequences of your words and actions often.

    I respect and admire our team's decision, so I, too will recite the Lord's Prayer with them

    Our Father who art in heaven,
    hallowed be thy name.
    Thy kingdom come.
    Thy will be done
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us this day our daily bread,
    and forgive us our trespasses,
    as we forgive those who trespass against us,
    and lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.
    For thine is the kingdom,
    and the power, and the glory,
    for ever and ever.
    Amen.

    Uh, let's be accurate here: players AND coaches recited a prayer and then walked out TOGETHER.

    I always thought is was "Howard be thy name". I must watch too many movies.

    They were just repeating what they did for the Wal Mart Bowl practices this year.

    I don't mean to suggest the coaches were not in full support of this. They were all there and seemed to be very supportive of what the team was doing.

    On a sidenote, the mens bball team had a full practice, but the players and coaches were at the morning rally on North Oval

    Let's recite a prayer every-time a college kid says something stupid...I don't know which is worse, the sanctimony or the white guilt. I'm fed up with it. A woman gets her head sawed off by a man motivated by jihad in the state of Oklahoma, and not 1/16th the reaction of this. Our world is nothing but political correctness run amuck...

    Perception is reality and you're not required to like it. I'm sure Stoops didn't want the team to miss a practice, but he is well aware this bit of nonsense has the potential to hurt the future of the team in non-trivial ways.

    I'm not overly religious, but I admittedly do pray at football games, especially after injuries.

    Perception isn't relegated to be solely defined by boulder. By acknowledging the actions of some frat boys stupid comments gives the situation credence, and in my opinion it was handled poorly. Prayer, walking in line, and Boren making statement after statement is nonsense...look for more stupid comments for those wanting attention because they certainly got it...

    The national media has Boren and the entire OU campus on puppet strings and they will make them dance as long as they don't get bored with their game.

    They closed the fraternity....good. They have done everything they can do via public statements that this incident is not representative of the OU community...very good. We'll see if this makes the MSM happy or not. I tend to think the answer will be "not".

    Some folks have different priorities and orientations than the MSM.
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    OU, and the whole state actually, are on the sh*t list of the MSM.

    It's very simple- point to the act of racism and it makes what some frat boys said meaningless...

    The quicker you understand and accept that no one except white males can be racist, the better off your life will be.

    It's not my reality - I'm not protesting or reciting prayers. I see this as a stupid act by drunk frat boys and I do not imply in any way they represent anyone outside their house walls. I just acknowledge that Boren and Stoops have to take it seriously as part of their jobs because of perception out in the world in general. It's reality to the school and the football program. I have no personal stake in enrollment/tuition/athletic recruiting outside of hoping OU wins some games.

    Coming as a former Oklahoman now living outside the state, the attention of late has been nearly all self-inflicted. Banning AP history classes. Mandatory 'pray the gay' away nonsense. Now this.

    It's like you're trying to rival Kansas for worst state in the country.

    You can throw in the Ten Commandments kerfuffle, the satan statue and our state rep's panting anxiety over sharia law.

    That sharia law is certainly a winner. Who's to say a group of folks can't establish it?! After all, it's multi-national, so it's better than our fuddy duddy outdated constitution.
