Karl Malden could never go to the beach without women and children gathering under his nose to shield them from the sun.

I know what I know. So do you. We both saw the same video. They weren't idiots. They were smart enough to enter into a very good University. It wasn't immaturity either. It's blaton racism and hate. You can call them ignorant possibly. You call it what you want. I'll do the same.
Come on wnas quit assuming something that you can't possibly know for sure. I watched the kids apology and I don't believe it was hate. They were probably just some immature rich brats that thought they were being funny. Of course they should have been punished, but not sure they should have received a more harsh punishment than someone who punched a woman in the face. I have no doubt that if this was a texas player many of you would be giving them a very hard time about it. Guess we'll have to disagree on this issue
Wait, you wish that I stop assuming it was hate but yet you assume they were rich immature kids. Got it.
Again.... You call it what you want, I'll do the same.

I made a previous post that was insensitive.
I humbly apologize to autistic people worldwide.

Hey Tony.... STFU you played in the 80's when there were no camera phones. Your team was full of thugs so I am sure this was a weekly episode back in your day.

I for one, think Tony makes a good point in believing ALL kids deserve 2nd chances when they make a mistake. I completely believe the reason the FSU QB and the fraternity cases were dealt with dismissals and booting off campuses, was the videos in those cases went public. Mixon's video never saw the light of day expect for a select few. Had Mixon's video been released for everyone to see, it's possible the penalty could have been more harsh. Since Mixon knocked that girl unconscious and broke her face, then hard to imagine it wasn't AT LEAST on the same level as the FSU QB video, or possibly even worse.
probably about the same, but we may never know. FSU has issues going way back, but most recently the Winston fiasco. I don't think they really had a choice other than to send a message up and above the Mixon case....and hopefully all the NCAA athletes will take notice. I personally can't give a bye to the girl in the FSU case. Maybe he should have let her hit him and then file he could have filed charges....and I don't want to hear men should be men...people should be people...don't take a swing at someone..or try to knee them.
Surely you aren't saying that Mixons episode was justified just because you think someone else did it to
Surely you can read & understand that dfw is pointing out the level of hypocrisy and hallowness of the TC comments. Which I agree with. The mid to late 80's squad were bad asses and if they played in an era of video phones, damn near half of them would have been kicked off the team and Barry would have had no say in the matter.
The whole thing came from the National fraternity HQs. It was something that filtered down from there to the OU house.
I don't like these kinds of threads because I think it polarizes and already polarized board. There is plenty of room for differences of opinion on most political issues and this is a highly charged political issue. I can see how you think it was handled to strongly and don't have a quarrel with your thinking. I just think that unless Boren sent a very strong message that it would have caused lots of fallout for him and OU. It is a fine line for sure.
wnas I was around in the 80's just like you. I don't believe I've ever heard Tony give any of his fellow teammates a pass on anything. As I've told you before, you can't justify one bad behavior with other bad behavior.

Saw where Steve Spurrier just said during the SEC media day that if a player hit a woman he would be dismissed from the team. Period. Found that kinda interesting given his relationship with Stoops.
He says that way... way after the fact....lord only knows what that man has let slide. Now he is self righteous?....seriously?
Has Spurrier ever allowed a player to remain on the team after punching a woman? I don't know. I doubt it though based on his comments
Times have changed. Do any of the older fans believe for one minute that Bud would not have dismissed a player....any player....for such crap? That kind of stuff would have never been tolerated back yonder, but we are in a much different era where winning is the most important product of college sports because the almighty dollar is more important than sportsmanship, good citizenship, and fair play. If you don't win, you don't reap the benefits. You don't get the most talented players, you don't keep your head coaching job. Let's be honest, we all want to win, so this is what comes of winning at any cost. Get use to it.
I'm having a hard time accepting this attitude, and I want to see at least one more natty as much as anyone before I leave this world.

Watch it BW, you don't want 83 pissed at you.
He can be brutal...

I understand what you are saying bama. However, it just didn't seem to go along with Stoops' past history rega
83 I certainly don't put any coach on a pedestal. Just thought his comments were interesting.yes....just trying to help ya out bud before you put Steve on a pedestal. Best wishes...
Spurrier has said this several times over the last few months. Especially in the wake of the Ray Rice deal.
