Selvin Young is making the most of opportunity created by injuries to other Broncos’ running backs. Great performance Saturday night.

Colt McCoy is the baby-faced assassin. This team will live and die with how he performs this season.

I guess Emmanuel Moody might not just be afraid of competition, he’s transferring to Florida. I thought for sure he’d end up at Oklahoma State.

The two-deep depth chart for the Arkansas State game has been released and is available on the official site. Like there is every year there’s a lot of co-starters on these early lists. The most interesting notes on here is that we have co-starters at right right guard in [tag]Chris Hall[/tag] and [tag]Cedric Dockery[/tag] and also at both safety positions. We’ll look into the depth chart in more detail tonight tomorrow.

Oklahoma commit Herman Mitchell tragically murdered. Teammates learned of his death on way to scrimmage.

Dennis Dodd’s reasons college football is better than the NFL. I miss fat Jared Lorenzen too.

SI predicts Texas in Fiesta Bowl against Wisconsin. OU to Sugar and Okie Lite to Cotton.

Kicker Ryan Bailey is no longer a walk-on, he was awarded a scholarship Friday after practice in front of his teammates.

As if living in the state of Oklahoma wasn’t bad enough, you now have to wear protective undergarments if you want to go out at night wearing burnt orange.

Allen Michael Beckett of Oklahoma City grabbed on and wouldn’t let go of another man’s junk in a bar just because he was wearing a Texas shirt. Beckett held on long enough to tear Brian Thomas’ scrotum. He has been charged with felony assault over the incident.

Check out more on the story below from NewsOK:

Thomas said Beckett, whom he had never met, called him “everything under the sun” for wearing a Longhorns T-shirt into the bar. He said he and his friend sat at a table in the corner and tried to ignore the other man, but other man — who apparently is a University of [tag]Oklahoma[/tag] fan — kept screaming at him.

Thomas said he decided he’d had enough after about 20 minutes of Beckett’s abuse so he went to the bar to pay his tab. When he turned around, he said Beckett grabbed his crotch and refused to let go.

Thomas hit the other man several times before several bar patrons intervened, but Thomas said Beckett didn’t let go until Thomas heard his scrotum tear and blood ran down his leg. Thomas, who grew up a Texas fan, said it took more than 60 stitches to close his wound.

There may be more to come on this story but for now the only conclusion to come to is that people from Oklahoma are insane and like to grab other guys’ balls. At least Aggies keep their hands to themselves and only squeeze their own. This whole story is nuts.
