So Boren kicked them off campus for their own safety? lol ok.I get his point, but I don't think it's great. I think it shows lack of much consideration, just a knee-jerk this equals this.
The SAE boys made OU a dangerous environment towards themselves.
I don't recall any campus protests after the Mixon decision.
What happens if the video comes out sometime during the season? It won't look good for OU if that happens. I gotta admit I have mixed feelings about this kidYep, in some respects, save the racists component, Joe is going to get the full Jackie Robinson treatment.
I hope he's tough as Robinson was.

Does this apply to the guys in the frat?Well, best get your mind right about Mixon.
He's paid his penance, and I wish everyone would just get off his back. Damn it to hell!
He'll be a stud for OU if y'all stop the sanctimonious shit!
Look, you butt heads are forcing me to bring out parables...
"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" You whiny bitches. Just stop.

All are free to believe as they wish. I just happen to think that it was a double standard when comparing these situations. I believe the kid on the video even gave a press conference and apologized for his actions and I'm sure many on campus are willing to forgive. I guess Boren had already made up his mind.I don't give a damn about the frat boys, that is unless they are OU good and can tackle, block, pass, catch, run, and kick.
This goes without saying.I'm on the fence regarding the Mixon incident, but the decision has been made and Joe has done everything that has been asked of him....apparently.....so there isn't anything more for him to do except be the best player, student and citizen he can be going forward. But if Joe Mixon had signed with Texas and punched a UT gal like he did the girl in Norman....and Texas decided to punish him in the same way as Boren punished Joe here at OU, I would be willing to bet a pretty good sum that a lot more OU fans would be saying the same thing that Tony C is saying now. Just saying.
Yeah, screw the frat brats.
If OU ever has competitive imbibing, we'll call them.
This is the double standard of political correctness that I can't see being defended. Even if you can justify the double standard of the actual offending frats that were involved; how do you kick the entire group out of their house........guilt by association?Does this apply to the guys in the frat?

Forget the whole sports argument, I just have zero respect for a politician like Boren.
So you're saying the entire house of over 100 was on the bus.You think the two boys in the video have the ventriloquist skills to recreate the sound of an entire choir?
It was done for political correctness by a university president who is basically a politician. By all accounts, Mixon has done what has been asked of him and maybe he does deserve a second chance, but I think the same should have been afforded to the frat kids.So you're saying the entire house of over 100 was on the bus.
Maybe so Roy. It just seemed a little heavy handed to me.Reality is it was done to rid the campus of a frat house that fostered that kind of behavior. Had Boren not taken action as he did so quickly, OU would have taken a huge public relations bath. Then when that happened he would have been hugely criticized for not taking the necessary action.
Unless you know the whole story including the behind the scenes information/data I would not be using the term heavy handed. I would assume first and foremost that there is much more to the story than what was out in the public. You certainly haven't heard much from those in the frat house themselves.Maybe so Roy. It just seemed a little heavy handed to me.
You are making an assumption. Maybe there was but maybe there wasn't. I do know they made a public apology and from what I saw it seemed to be accepted by many people including black students. Whatever the case, what is done is done.Unless you know the whole story including the behind the scenes information/data I would not be using the term heavy handed.

How do you know those guys hate pure hate in their hearts? You can't know that. I think it was just a bunch of immature idiots and nothing more. We aren't dealing with the KKK here.Can't be a double standard IMO. One scenario was by design, the other, in the heat of the moment. Neither was good, but one was done with pure hate in their hearts, the other pure stupidity in his brain.
fitty your "likes" must be going to your head. Nobody said they were great kids. I said it is doubtful these are hardcore racists and should have been forgiven and given another opportunity. Make them do community service or whatever it takes and allow them to work their way back on campus. I'm kinda surprised by anyone that just blows off what Mixon did like it was no big deal.Come on BW, I've never heard anyone referring to lynching with the love of Jesus in their heart.
Naw you know I was just teasing. Its honestly something to be very proud ofYou know you've brought up my likes several times.
I really think they're starting to get up in your pucker.
Which has become the most prominent reason for having them.
1445 at last count. He he...
