This schit is getting old.
Plant a boot in his ass. My heck this is just ridiculous.Very, Very Bad Curse Word!!!!
WTF is going on??? I pray that that Cobb was not involved, but this does not look good for the young man, Stoops and OU. If true, send him packing. Quickly.
Coaches recruit size, speed and overall physical ability......why not character ?
Prentice Gautt...Athlete...Scholar...GENTLEMAN...Ground Breaker...Trail Blazer...He set the Bar so HIGH, IMO, it will Never Fall...They do. I give you Perine. Try Baker. How about Bradford? Perhaps Jason White. I have no stat to support this, but I imagine for every 'bad' character issue recruit/player, OU has over 300 solid student athletes. Maybe more. I don't think you're giving the coaches the credit they deserve. Bottomline, the coaches are not social workers. They study film and know football. They see, understand and recognize talent & skills. In many cases, the 'bad' character issues are most often hidden from them by many others including HS Coaches, family etc. in hopes the kid can straighten up as he grows up. To add to this, perhaps some of these 'bad' character issues were not visible at the time they were recruited.
How can you know? He's never been in trouble. He goes home and the Dodge Challenger he drives is involved in an aggravated robbery. He is the main suspect, yet it says in one report that the "passenger got out wielding a gun." Was he the passenger? Driver? I haven't seen any evidence. I've seen there is a warrant and he is set to turn himself in today...Coaches recruit size, speed and overall physical ability......why not character ?
Gautt is my favorite Oklahoma player. As a kid with his picture taped to my bedroom wall I saw a great player who's color was crimson and cream.....period.Prentice Gautt...Athlete...Scholar...GENTLEMAN...Ground Breaker...Trail Blazer...He set the Bar so HIGH, IMO, it will Never Fall...
Not to 'Pile On', but you have to include DeDe in that mix...That recent 'Expose' on him did Nothing Positive for The Sooners...Seems like every school in the country has these kind of problems with student athletes. Unfortunately OU has been hit pretty hard lately with Mixon and now Cobb.
Good point, forgot about Dede.Not to 'Pile On', but you have to include DeDe in that mix...That recent 'Expose' on him did Nothing Positive for The Sooners...
Hard to have traditional family values where there are so few real traditional families anymore.
You have just described the problem that has helped fracture amateur sports.
And many other problems in general with other segments of society.

Evidently.I think it's easier to recruit size, speed and overall physical ability these days.
The 2000 Sooners played well defensively.....and had a solid kicking game.So curiously, what was the 2000 National champs star ratings? Were they sure things or coached really well and played above their abilities? I am thinking the second of the two. They played their guts out and I am sure that many other teams had way more star power.

FIFY. Duncan had a worse % than Seibert did last year in the FG dept. Ferguson was solid though.The 2000 Sooners played well defensively.....and had a solid punting game.
