Prattfall

Posted by HenryJames on July 10th, 2009 under Uncategorized

While many coaches and players are taking it easy right now, the Mack Brown Curse is hard at work. It claimed its latest victim yesterday.

Oklahoma State freshman running back Dexter Pratt was charged with possession of marijuana. The charges say Pratt and teammate Jamal Mosley “knowingly possessed and controlled within his residence a small plastic bag containing what appeared to be, and subsequently field tested positive as a small amount of marihuana (sic).”

Pratt was offered a scholarship by Texas as a linebacker, but he wanted to play running back in college. And he knew that Texas running backs that smoke marijuana are not tolerated in Austin. He could have switched to linebacker and alcohol, but he wasn’t interested.

    Long live The Curse!

  2. I too prefer the marihuana styling, which can be emphasized by dragging out the third syllable with lilting glottal fricatives to great effect. Dressing like Ricardo Montalban is generally appreciated, though not required.

  3. What methods of “field testing” are exactly needed to determine this?

    Well done.

  5. They taze it until smoke appears.

    I don’t always smoke, but when I do, I prefer tasty spliffs.

  7. As for Mosley, I’m sure we can rehabilitate this young man on the field. With Pratt, maybe it will require a redshirt year (and a switch to linebacker).

    Remind me never to post anything about UT that would make me appear to be a hypocrite.

    I thought this kid went to LSU?

    I guess he wants to follow the Orie Lemon path to LB.

  11. He was committed to LSU. And The Valley Shook explains it better than I can.

    http://www.andthevalleyshook.com/2009/1/19/727320/the-very-strange-circumsta

    And if you think Les Miles left OSU on good terms, Pratt’s offical player bio says he was a “Long-time LSU commitment who enrolled at OSU in January.”

    From And the Valley Shook

    “When asked about what happened at LSU, I got the impression he got to Baton Rouge and then felt remorse about being so far from home.”

    So he decided on Stillwater over Baton Rouge because of distance? I realize that probably has 0% to do with the actual reason, but I thought that quote was funny.

    Or a Sooner lineman and beatin women, but he didn’t go for that pitch either.

    Yeah your right, penders teams were at least fun to watch play. Barnes offense is pretty bad not as bad as Tom’s but its all relative to who is watching the worst offense in Texas history.

    “His teams did not play D, did not box out, and were generally unsound in the fundamentals of the game.”

    Our hoops team is the basketball version of Major League.

    Jake Taylor = Damion James
    Pedro Cerrano = Dexter Pittman
    Willie Mays Hays = Avery Bradley
    Roger Dorn = Justin Mason
    Isuro Tanaka (Major League II) = Dogus Balbay
    Rube Baker (Major Leauge II) = Jordan Hamilton

    If Craig Way starts drinking whiskey during the broadcasts, it’ll complete the analogy.

    Nice job Hiphop. Very nice to win what is probably the toughest game on the schedule handily, although the Hawks obviously caught UT at a good time.

    I don’t think McCoy played anywhere near the level of Suh and the numbers make it clear that he did not. Suh had twice as many tackles (77-31), sacks (11-5) and nearly tackles for loss (22-14.5). Suh also broke up 10 passes, if he gets stonewalled on the rush he doesn’t allow it to take

    EP, I get your point, but I don’t think the fact that Texas hasn’t won a tourney came as an underdog doesn’t support it. Teams are favored because they are better. The odds that they win are greater than those who are not favored. It’s not like Texas goes into games with a secret weapon

    Good write up, hiphop. I love the versatitility of the Morris twins on defense. Xavier Henry is probably the key to a big run in the tournament. If he starts hitting open looks, the inside game will really open up. Post to post passing is fun to watch.

    I don’t think it’s a case of RB not being able to coach, or doing a poor job of coaching. If you read the entirety of Katz’ blog post, he clearly sounds like a coaching searching for answers — answers that come in the form of players contributing, doing what they are coached to do.
