I just dug this picture up in my Photobucket account, thought I'd share.

how should I know what Bob Stoops does, I am not a OU fan. I do know that CU drops the hammer every year.

[osubroncos86]

oh please. Some guy from the team is going to tell him not to hit a cop. I hear that FSU just released a few thugs, maybe you can sign them and the angels on your team can talk to them. Every program cuts problem players, some suspends them, the bottom line every team has some kind of code of conduct and getting arrested and pleading to hitting a cop should have some kind of punishment otherwise you teach these young men they can do whatever they want.

You act as though you are an expert on every team's policy on stuff like this. Tell me, o wise one, what does Stoopsie really do when he says it's "handled internally?"

wow, what a theory. Just get in any kind of trouble that you want and no punishment from the team. Sounds like you want to get a team of thugs there.

That's not true at all. Coach Gundy runs a very clean team. I guarantee Brandon's teammates gave him hell for this already. They're just like that...if a teammate gets in trouble with the law, the rest of the team gives him a lot of crap, like making him run extra reps, doing grunt work at practice, etc.

I guarantee Gundy doesn't have to deal with this because the team already has.

Nothing. He shouldn't do anything. Having to deal with Stillwater PD is punishment enough.

[tante_vasquez]

osubroncos86 - you never answered the question. What should Gundy do?

[osubroncos86]

Ok...he did not *attack* the police officer. The cop tried to grab him, and Pettigrew turned around, accidentally bumping his elbow into the cop's chest, certainly not hard enough to call it an attack. However, Stillwater PD is extremely notorious for over-exaggerating things. The cops here are <insert synonym for male genitalia>...one reason I can't wait to leave this town.

Yes, I am bitter. I got pulled over once because my headlight was out. It was an older cop, and he just told me to get it fixed soon because the younger guys (the male genitalia referred to above) won't be so nice. (I believed that wholeheartedly). Next day, I go to Autozone and ask for a headlamp. They don't have any in stock, and would order one for me. It would arrive at the store on Tuesday (I ordered it on Thursday). From Thursday until Tuesday, I got pulled over EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! Yes, even during broad daylight. I explained to them EVERY TIME that I had to special-order the lamp. If you do the math, that's 5 times I got pulled over. Out of that, I got 3 tickets. 2 of them were from Stillwater PD, the other one was OSU PD. I had to visit 2 different court clerks. Fortunately, both of them don't like OSU or Stillwater PD's any more than the rest of us, and I didn't have to pay for a single ticket.

I've also been pulled over for speeding in a school zone, even though the School Zone lights weren't flashing (the speed limit is 20 when the lights are flashing, 40 when they're not). I was going 35, and the lights weren't flashing. I got pulled over anyway. I couldn't talk my way out of that ticket. $300.

Back to the current topic, though. He didn't actually plead guilty to the crime. It's called a plea bargain. He just plead guilty to a lesser charge (it was lowered because the cop admitted he *might* have over-exaggerated...) to put it all behind him. He already did the community service, and probation for a year is not a big deal if you're not really guilty of anything. Why won't Gundy do anything about this? Because he did nothing wrong (outside of going to party, but come on...you're in college, you're gonna party at some point).

[DrunkPanda]

wow. you have to be really stupid to beat up a police officer

[tante_vasquez]

So what is Gundy going to do. Suspend him for the first game. At CU this kid would be done for the season.

And I think I am going to hustle the OSU fan a bit and go for the free steak when CU wins


STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew pleaded guilty on Monday to a reduced charge for allegedly attacking a police officer in January.

Payne County prosecutors originally charged Pettigrew with felony assault and battery on a police officer, but they reached a plea agreement with Pettigrew in which he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery.

He must pay a $200 fine and make a $200 contribution to the victims' compensation fund, as well as perform 20 hours of community service, which he has already completed at the YMCA, defense attorney William Baker said in court.

Pettigrew, from Tyler, Texas, also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor public intoxication in the incident and was fined $100.

He received a deferred sentence and won't have a criminal record if he successfully completes probation. Coach Mike Gundy declined to suspend Pettigrew, saying in February that he would allow the case to run its course.

Pettigrew caught 35 passes for 540 yards and four touchdowns last season.

That Okie fan will have a turkey and swiss on rye

With a Vlasic pickle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[osubroncos86]

okay just made a bet with an Okie fan here in the office that CU takes them down. The loser buys lunch. That means that I am not financially and emotionally invested into the game.

so did the players that signed your helmet get a college credit, or was it part of their student "job" and got their weekly paycheck for it?

Sadly, it was part of DeMarcus Granger's probation assignment...


Nah, it was last years team, I was just really lazy about ordering it.
