Will This Impact The OU Game?

I think it has to considering he allegedly broke 4 bones in the girl's face. But Stoops will let him stay on the team. They don't have a true starter yet and I think he was in the competition for playing time.

Luckily Stoops doesn't see us as a threat so he won't convenietely be back for our date with them.

He was listed as 4th string on their preseason depth chart at RB, although he was a 5-star recruit. I doubt he misses the UT game, but even if he does, they have many options in front of him.

No impact.

He should be booted from team...absolute minimum punishment should be three games.

I just hope Stoops doesn't use goddell as yardstick for discipline: ray rice-attempted murder = two games!

Has ncaa ruled yet on dgb trying to play this year?

From what I read, he was probably going to start as they lost their best RBs last year. They expected him to be their Gurley man!

While highly recruited and rated the #1 all-purpose back coming out last year, it has always been a stretch that Mixon might actually play, let alone start, in 2014.

Yes, Stoops has a history of playing talented freshmen if they earn it but Mixon is up against some quality returning RB's who will be very hard to beat out, including Keith Ford & Alex Ross.

As far as the situation Mixon finds himself in, Stoops has a reputation for dealing with these types of issues fairly & consistently. When a player deserves it, Stoops has never hesitated to cut him loose (the best example being in 2005 when he kicked our starting QB & a starting O-lineman off the team two weeks before the season started.). On the other hand, Stoops has done a great job of managing the maturation and rehabilitation process on certain players who have gone on to be outstanding citizens.

From all reports, Mixon is a great kid who was confronted with a situation that many would have failed to handle properly. The young lady in question was drunk and apparently verbally & physically accosted Mixon, spitting in his face and calling him the N word. Unfortunately, he reacted in a clearly thoughtless manner. It remains to be seen just how law enforcement and eventually OU will handle the situation.

The Vol D will have enough to worry about on 9/13 whether Mixon is suited up or not.

I love me some insecure fans who come on other teams message boards trying to talk smack. I'm not even sure that I've ever even looked at another teams message board much less bothered to sign up for one.

Unless you just started watching OU football
during last years sugarbowl you have to know that your QB is being way over hyped. Maybe he will have a great year, but one game is not an indication of the new standard. Tyler Bray proved that every year he played at UT.

Also, have you seen any UT fans acting like Worley is poised to be the next Manning just because he beat USC and was a questionable call away from beating UGA? Because that's the same thing you guys are currently doing. History and experience however, should guide you towards other expectations.

I call BS. Typical fan making **** up to make a player look better than he has a right to. This guy does not know what happened, he ws not there. All anyone knows is that the player punched a girl in the face and broke several of her facial bones. She is pursuing her legal rights. The woman beater player needs to be eliminated from that team permanately.

Okies perhaps, but everybody I know will not break a womans face just because they "feel threatened". Happened once, it'll happen again. If Mixon is such a great kid, how did he allow himself to be in the situation?

DGB may be able to play this season under the "run-off rule". He wasn't charged so he could be eligible at OU. That would be a shame. If you have BleacherReport there is a link to the article

I can't wait to see the complete sh*t storm the NCAA will face if this really happens.
