How did Mack Brown handle the Obama Slur? OU fans a must read

�Mama, I don�t even feeling like going,� McFarland told his mother. �I don�t want to do it.�

Before the visit, Adams called Texas and asked to speak with Brown. The associate head coach, Mac McWhorter, told her that she could talk only to him.

That bothered her because she had wanted to talk to Brown and commend him for the Longhorns� dismissal of a player who had posted a racial slur on his Facebook page about President-elect Barack Obama.

During the trip, Adams said, she asked Brown about the Obama slur, and was told that the player had to be dismissed because the F.B.I. had become involvolved

I know the geeky 4.0 non-athletes don't get that same level of recruiting!

6. reading about the wild parties, the alcohol and drugs

I think it is time to stop football programs (and basketball, etc) at colleges. Let the football pro teams start their own farm system like baseball has.
