Now that would be the icing on the cake.How bout you Perine?! We need ya buddy.
He probably doesn't want to go pro with the spotlight on him. One more year of staying out of trouble. Maybe our black eye will heal.
He better be aware of every move. Someone will be watching and waiting for him to slip up. He will be scrutinized on everything.Interesting observation. I could see how he definitely does not want to go to tryouts, etc. with the negative attention swirling around him. I wonder how Joe felt about Bob saying at his press conference on Weds. that if incident occurred today instead of 2.5 years ago, that he'd be dismissed from the team. With that said, I'm wondering if Joe is waiting to see how much scrutiny he's under while in New Orleans, which may play a role in whether he comes back to OU or opts for the NFL. My gut feeling is he comes back for another year.

He said he believes the world has changed since the incident, and that Mixon would have been off the team right away. He said he hoped Mixon could redeem himself. “There’s no recovering from these incidents anymore.” hum.....did this black our eye even more.I didn't see Bob's press conference so did he explain what's changed from 2.5 years ago? That sounds like he regrets his decision.

So maybe.....maybe.....Stoops wants Mixon out ?
I think this is a distinct possibility.So maybe.....maybe.....Stoops wants Mixon out ?
Man his choice of words, is a slap in the face. I guess beating women in the old days was okay...........
I didn't take his statement this way...AT ALL.....Man his choice of words, is a slap in the face. I guess beating women in the old days was okay...........
Reminds me when I ate something really spicy the first time: I drank water instead of some milk.He probably regrets that statement. It is only going to create more questions.
LAME..."The world has changed"......I don't see that at all with regard to what happened. I would have thought Bob would have a better statement prepared.
What's your take on it?I didn't take his statement this way...AT ALL.....
He was touching about how the public blowback and demands for punishment are far worse nowadays. He certainly wasn't implying that beating women in the old days was okay. God almighty....What's your take on it?
You said it better than he did. My hell they ran it along the bottom of Espn 2 days ago, and it read terrible with just a small sentence, the bastards.He was touching about how the public blowback and demands for punishment are far worse nowadays.

It wasn't okay then and it isn't okay now.Man his choice of words, is a slap in the face. I guess beating women in the old days was okay...........
Bob did well considering. He was much more prepared than what I had imagined. He appeared to be shooting from the hip with a few talking points which were planned: noting 2 1/2 years numerous times, he and administration believed the video would be released (i.e. We did not count on the video being sealed), his "shortcoming" of having too much faith in young men and how the pressure of today's society does not allow for second chances.
I completely appreciate Bob having the mentality of having faith in young men and wanting to give them second chances. I don't agree with what Mixon did, but I also don't think it's something that is so egregious that Mixon's life should be completely ruined and his future in football completely taken away from him. Bob understands that nowadays the public perception of handling these types of events calls for nothing short of dismissal, but I do think how Mixon has handled himself the last 2.5 years shows Bob was correct in giving him a second chance. I know Mixon had the run-in with the parking ticket guy, but damn it's not like Mixon has made a habit of being a woman abuser.Bob did well considering.

Billy, can you post the video from Trevor off espn? I totally agree with your post.
