The one thing I have always liked about the Oklahoma is the fact it is a very conservative state. Having said that, I am absolutely blown away by the overwhelming support for Mixon remaining on OU's roster. It seems like you can't find one Sooner that isn't totally disgusted by the whole ordeal. In all seriousness, it is like the twilight zone.
Because of many other instances of turning a blind eye, there is zero doubt Stoops reputation is in the gutter when Mixon leaves.
What is hard to understand is why have this hanging over a program the next few years? Is it really worth all of the bad pub each year? If Mixon turns out to be a great back, the national media is only going to slam OU over and over.
I just can not fathom the rage if someone did what Mixon did to my daughter only to see him celebrated by masses on Saturday afternoon. Being a Texas fan and us being rivals I still try to find common ground but I have lost a ton of respect for OU.
You can sure bet this has changed the way Strong views Stoops when before there was mutual respect.
