	Report Comment True Sooner Fan, San Diego (3/8/2008 2:22:16 AM) This dude has ALL the markings of a thug. Simple solution: yank his scholarship, if the facts bear out. Bob, you don't need the headaches this guy is going to bring, and he hasn't even set foot on campus. At least Ryan Broyles was enrolled when he pulled his stupid stunt.
	Report Comment Danny, Vail (3/8/2008 7:29:00 AM) Stoops won't do a thing. He's hoping this will all blow over ("I don't have enough information" means "I need to see how good he's going to be before I decide what to do."). This is a typical OU signee. It doesn't matter what kind of criminal background or moral character the guy has as long as he can play football. I guarantee you that once this guy sets foot on campus, there'll be at least one more criminal charge coming OU's way. This guy has no thought about his future, it's plain to see by his actions. And being on the OU campus, where he'll be treated like a God, is supposed to humble this guy's ego and instant gratification?! I don't think so. Here's another talented idiot for OU to deal with. Wonder if he'll steal a coac next right before a big game?! $5 says Stoops still brings him on campus. WHY!?! Because he, like the demands of OU fans, is dead set on winning at any cost. Nothings changed since Switzer.
	Report Comment Jon, McAlester (3/8/2008 8:05:33 AM) Danny from Vail: a lot has changed since Switzer. Nice job attacking Stoops' character - I bet you'll have a lot of followers on that one! You're bitter at something, of which I'm not sure...maybe you're an OSU fan, or maybe you don't like that Bob Stoops is a millionaire, or maybe you just had a bad day & want to take it out on one of the most talented and respected coaches at any level in the country? Whatever it is, I'm not buying that Stoops has shotty character.

	Report Comment J.R., Dallas (3/8/2008 9:19:56 AM) Broyles, Granger, and Jarboe: uo's version of the "triplets".
	Report Comment casey, tulsa (3/8/2008 9:44:02 AM) i not go to talk down about stoops because he is a great coach but now it is right for all ou fans toget their just desserts talking bad about things other schools players have done what are you go to say now that it is starting to happen to you but i guess he would still be a perfect fit for the team so you can get another * by your national championship if you can actuallly win and wait did you say True Sooner Fan ha please don't makeme life ou fans are the biggest fair weather fans in the world you guys get upset in a game and throw your appreal on the ground on the way out
	Report Comment casey, tulsa (3/8/2008 9:49:35 AM) crap i need to learn how to read over the true facts i write because i forgot to put in laugh not life is should read ha please don't make me laugh ou fans are the biggest fair weather fans in the world SIGNING OFF FROM OUSELESS UNIVERSITY IN SNORMAN because i am not at home right now
	Report Comment Coach Moore, Tulsa (3/8/2008 9:59:07 AM) How can anyone assume this kid is a thug? Yes, kid! He's 18, and the article says receiving stolen property, and having a weapon. Doesn't say he had the weapon. I agree with Coach Stoops, u don't take a kids dreams, or crush his chances for success, because of one screw up. Watch him close, see what happens, then make your decision. For the record, I am not a BIG OU fan....but, I am a fan of Coach Stoops. By the way, if those of you criticizing, never made mistakes as a youngster, I congratulate you!!
	Report Comment LA, Owasso (3/8/2008 10:31:49 AM) for you people that don't think Stoops will do anything....did we forget two years ago he booted Bomar the starting QB and Quinn starting lineman off the team, not many Coaches do that...Stoops will make the right decision....Stoops #1...Go Sooners
	Report Comment Rick , Plano, Tex. (3/8/2008 10:47:25 AM) I have no doubt that Coach Stoops will give this misunderstood young man one more (maybe two or three) chance. OK, so he's going to have to gamble on this young man living up to OU's high moral codes. But look at it this way, they've already got a picture they can use for next year's media guide, courtesty of DeKalb County Jail.
	Report Comment Longtime OK Resident, Tulsa (3/8/2008 12:17:31 PM) This is more of the same that started with Switzer, Win at any cost. What would Bud Wilkerson have done? Yanked the scholarship and not let him on campus. Thats when OU had a class program without the need for thugs.
	Report Comment Frank, Tucson (3/8/2008 4:22:07 PM) Why should anyone be surprised? Afterall, it is Outlaw U, where the lawbreaker recruits and players are the norm!! Shop lift, steal gasoline, get paid for work not done!!! OU is a renegade school and is an embaassment to the state. Want to bet this thug doesn't still get a scholarship? Any parent with any care for their child, wouldn't let them play for such a place populated by law breakers!!!!OU sucks sewer water!!!Sooners still exemplify the law breaking of the Sooners who jumped the gun during the Oklahoma land rush
	Report Comment Sooner DB, Soonerville (3/8/2008 4:40:02 PM) To bad none of you all know what you are talking about! I am guessing that most of you all can read but most of you sure can't spell! must be OSU or TU grads or students crack a book people and learn something! We out rank you on the field and the class room that is why all the hating out there! This is nothing he will be released without charges and on to OU!
	Report Comment James, Norman (3/8/2008 6:48:16 PM) Give a kid a chance. This kid is going to get out of Georgia come to OU and become a man. College changes kids for the better. And Stoops knows what he is doing. Last year UT had eight players get in trouble with the law and the over-rated Mack Brown did nothing and actually took offense to being asked about it. Stoops has class and changes boys to men, so all you critics can get your facts right.
	Report Comment OSU FAN IN TULSA, Tulsa (3/8/2008 7:09:41 PM) Stoops will do nothing. Jarboe had a gun on his high school's campus! I doubt he was going deer hunting in between classes. The University of Oklahoma: Where They're Pros at Being Cons.
	Report Comment J.R., Dallas (3/8/2008 9:51:50 PM) #11. Breaking news, they've cheated since God was a corporal. My uo (grad) uncle jokes about the cheating in 1940. Bud was just as sleazy as the rest of the 'em.
	Report Comment Lawrence, Tulsa (3/8/2008 10:52:53 PM) hmmmmm....a weapon on school grounds. He'd be a hero in this state. Come here, to this state, young ones where gun toting youth are welcomed with open arms and receive hero's parade.
	Report Comment morons, tulsa (3/8/2008 10:58:17 PM) give the "KID" a chance? that's not a kid! he's an ADULT! he looks like he's 30. if he is convicted, they need to throw the book at him. athletes who get away with criminal behavior disgust me! they are a sorry excuse for role models! "It's the third time in seven months a Sooner or future player has been arrested." seriously, what a bunch of low life losers!
	Report Comment ., Jenks (3/8/2008 11:05:28 PM) NEVER sacrifice character for a trophy!
	Report Comment big j, (3/8/2008 11:19:39 PM) ok pokes, enough of the sooner envy, what really has you all upset? the football loss, the basketball loss, or the (gasp) wrestling loss?
	Report Comment Dallas, dallas (3/8/2008 11:30:27 PM) Wow, osu fans condemning stoops' character and calling OU a bunch of "cons"....that's rich. I'm sorry, but didn't you have a LB start this year when your coach knew he raped a minor? Also, didn't you guys take prentice elliot when everyone from OU to LSu pulled his scholly when his record was revealed? How did he pan out? Oh yea, Jameon curry didn't deal drugs in high school before going to osu either. Osu fans are so freakin' obsessed with OU and jump at any news that is remotely negative without using their worthless degrees to think about how stupid they look...dumb pokes. Take your Football, basketball, and wrestling losses like a man. Oh but wait, I forgot, we can only beat osu in women's sports as they like to stupidly make excuses when our athletic teams beat them.
	Report Comment Jay, (3/9/2008 8:17:55 AM) If there's a bright side to this, he can always play for the Tulsa Talons along with Prentiss Elliot. lol
	Report Comment Sooner Fan, tulsa (3/9/2008 9:44:15 AM) I guess OSU fans have selective memory.....how many players did OSU lose because of legal trouble last year alone? How many OSU players got arrested? Compared to how many OU lost? Gimme a break! But wait, I forget that OU fans are uneducated because OU allows fans to be anyone, just not alumni......j
	Report Comment Bob, Adair (3/9/2008 9:52:43 AM) Hmmm.. He will fit in very well at OU. Looks like he already has the required "Bad Habits"
	Report Comment JT, Muskogee (3/9/2008 10:32:48 AM) Still bitter over the basketball game are we?
