Furthermore, I think we take at least 3 more first place votes from FSU if they lose. (Provided we whoop on SMU by 50 like we should.)

Sickens me to see so many people on message boards calling him a 20-21 year old kid who made a mistake. Johnny was crucified for much less and the talking heads said the 20 year old kid who made a mistake statement was a lame excuse. Wonder if Lou Holtz would consider "grabbing him by the throat?" Wonder when Barry Switzer will say, "For him to act so arrogant, I want to jerk his face mask and I want to grab him. Of course you get fired for that now; in the old days you could get away with that. It's the world we live in. It's a misplaced value system. When I see this happen I wonder where the core value system comes from, if he has a core value system. This young man needs a damn hell of a lot of development."

TROUBLED TIMES AT OKLAHOMA : When Football Program's Dignity Went Out the Window, Its Priorities Did, Too
March 26, 1989
NORMAN, Okla. Don't believe a word the license plates say here: Oklahoma is not OK. It is embarrassed, confused, angry, bitter and considerably less
naive about the inner workings of its once-mighty football program.Reality operates in strange ways. One day, you're on top of the college
football polls; the next, you're on probation, as the University of
Oklahoma is in the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. for the next three
seasons.Suddenly the Boz is blurting out best-selling tales of gun, steroid and cocaine use at Bud Wilkinson House, the campus athletic
dormitory at OU. A fable, you think--until one night a shot rings out
from inside the dorm: Cornerback Jerry Parks has aimed a gun at the
chest of offensive lineman Zarak Peters--and then, incredibly, pulled
the trigger. The bullet came within inches of Peters' heart.Peters lives, but the OU football program goes on the critical list. After all, how many slugs to the image can it take?
Sadly, there is more. An alleged gang-rape of an Oklahoma City woman by three
OU players rocks a campus increasingly suspicious of the Sooner system.
Add to that the startling arrest of quarterback Charles Thompson on
charges of selling cocaine and you have a university searching for
answers and, on occasion, scapegoats, of which the list is long and
distinguished.Among those already fitted for nooses are Coach Barry Switzer, Athletic Director Donnie Duncan, the school's board of
regents, Oklahoma Gov. Henry Bellmon, the players and even the
win-at-all-costs philosophy that permeates a program such as Oklahoma's.In the end, it seems as if you can point a finger in any direction and be at least a little bit right.
Oklahoma's misfortunes became national news, of course. Thompson made the cover of Sports Illustrated, which would have been a nice addition to the family
den had he not been wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and handcuffs. "How
Barry Switzer's Sooners Terrorized Their Campus," is how SI put it in
its headline....
