He's expected to transfer

Yeah, there were rumors that he was already unhappy in Norman before all of this went down, and that he had to be convinced by coaches to stay at OU. I just do not see Mixon staying there after this experience. If he does transfer, you'd have to think he goes back to California.

OU fans are super pissed at how their administration has handled this entire situation. While our fiasco is much different, I sure can empathize. Kind of surprised they let him stay on the team, though.

What a pissy PR move. Suspend Mixon for a year knowing full well he is leaving anyway all the while pressing the NCAA to clear DGB.

BGB looking more like Baghdad Bob. Meanwhile, Jim Mora is reaching for the phone....

Ha ha, f*ck Oklahoma and all these schools that allow this stuff.

Punching a woman in the face seems a bit... over the top, yes?

Kelly would toss such a kid, pointblank, permanently, if he had such proof. We wouldn't need to wait for a university tribunal.

The Oky university president, btw, is David BOREN, not Borne, as the article spells it. He used to be governor and then US senator from Oklahoma before he got promoted (in the eyes of Sooner fans). He's a disgrace.

Definitely wrong to hit a woman. But if she was really sitting there pushing him and slapping him I don't feel quite as bad for her as some might. He SHOULD NOT have hit her but if he wanted to bear hug her or push her away or something to stop the assault I wouldn't fault him for it. But his response to Muhammad Ali her was certainly wrong. He's a D1 football player...no need to "defend" yourself in that manner. He was certainly capable of a less violent way of ending that altercation...even if she had him trapped in a corner or something...he could just bulldoze his way out. He is a running back after all.

I have to agree that this is cause for dismissal - or at least should be. Our problems of possible cheating (or knowing and not reporting cheating) seem infinitesimal compared to such nonsense. This is why I will always support ND and her mission even if we have some hiccups along the way.

So Joe, do you think about punching girls when you're carrying the ball?

Yes, let's not confuse the issues here folks. The most important thing is football.

Joe just needs to do his best Bill Belichick impersonation for anything he doesn't want to talk about.

Saw on rivals that the video of his assault was going to be released. Anyone hear/see anything?
