You’re very hypocritical. Half of your email before was bashing me for being a Sooner fan. Can you dish it but not take it?

The substance of matter that I feel should be addressed is the part where the kid said the party may have been embellished. None of the rest was “made up” by writer. It came from the family. I think the writer has a good follow-up story to check into if what the kid and parents said were true….but I didn’t think he article before needed to address all of that.

Sasha – Yes, OU backed into it. So did every other team with one loss. Texas lost to Tech, how come Texas fans just disregard that? Since there were three teams with one loss that lost to one another, then you have to go off the tiebreaker that agreed upon at the beginning of the season (The BCS). With the three teams, you could look at a number of categories and put OU ahead….best road win, most points scored, most dominating performance. It’s understandable that Texas is upset since they beat OU, but Tech would have the same argument against Texas.

You can’t even address the actual substance of the matter and instead resort to homoeroticism. You bore me now.

Minnesota Horn – It’s obvious you are all over Chip Brown’s nuts. There must be some sort of mancrush there, but that’s between the two of you. Texas Rivals had just as more speculation then the Evans article. Again, the only piece of the article that the player and family said “may” have been embellished was the lines about the party…which no one said the Texas football team was a part of. It’s obvious that you are taking out all your aggression on the writer when you should really be upset at the player (for telling his side of the story).

Hurt feelings? Are you kidding me? You must not have been able to sense the sarcasm in the words I wrote…and, sorry, I don’t live for these message boards. Some clown put a link to this and I was interested to see what people were saying. It is very amusing to see how upset you are. I hope you are able to get over this and be somewhat reasonable. I know there aren’t many more things in your life that are more meaningful then Texas football, but hopefully you can find something else.

“You shouldn’t have lost to Tech.”

And you shouldn’t have lost to Texas. The reality is everyone at Texas and everyone at ou knows that Texas is the better team. A flawed BCS system doesn’t change that. You backed your way into the Championship game and are proud of that? I guess it is the only thing you you CAN be proud of since Texas proved they are a better team. No amount of, “We playing for our billionth NC” whining is going to change that.

Enjoy getting beat by Florida. I know I’m going to enjoy watching it.

“…and I hope you’re not saying Texas Rivals is a source…those guys aren’t credible…”

Yeah, Chip Brown’s reported for the AP and the Dallas Morning News for twenty years but he’s not credible. He cited about five different sources and not one included a high school English paper. You’re quite the credibility judge there.

You can continue with your whine about my lack of class though. I don’t plan to change my tone or decorum towards a lame-smack spewing troll who defends the blatant lack of journalistic integrity demonstrated by Evans. On the contrary I’m quite enjoying your obvious hurt feelings. That’s just the kind of unspeakable monster I am.

You don’t expect me to answer? I can be just like you and write all kinds of idiotic tough stuff on a website since we’ll never see each other face to face. Your comments are pretty classy. I hope you feel better….especially the “Pontiac Fiero into an Aids Tree” comment. That’s great….what a cool/funny line….funny guy.

I thought the article was excellent in that it (along with the previous article written about the kid) gave insight to his and his family members thoughts when choosing a school. From what I understand, the only information that the kid has said wasn’t true was the information about the party (that’s the only piece that is in question…the rest of it was verified by the family…and I hope you’re not saying Texas Rivals is a source…those guys aren’t credible). He said that story was embellished. The article never said that the Texas athletic department was in any way responsible for the party.

In what way do you think the article is excellent? Do you feel it appropriate journalistic behavior to site a high school student’s homework as a source? How about alleging major NCAA violations without even contacting the named institution to get a reaction or response to the allegations? Does it affect your opinion that McFarland has acknowledged that much of what was published here was untrue and that three sources have verified that much of it was completely untrue?

Of course I don’t expect you to answer. I know you’re just another fuckwit Sooner scum sucker who wants with all his heart to believe the obvious hatchet piece because it verifies what you’ve always told yourself about your favorite team: it’s okay that rampantly violate NCAA rules because everyone does it.

Drive your Pontiac Fiero into an AIDS tree.
