WTF does that matter now?
Mayfield, Austin and Murray are pretty decent depth.....with Mordicai in 2018 and Rattler in 2019 to keep things rolling.
Not my fault that his parents don't know how to spell, but congratulations for deciphering to whom I was referring.
Next time I see a little news tidbit, I'll refrain from posting it for fear of offending the spelling police. It's far from me to want to muddy up this lively message board.
Kool, ia...Do you know 'Swan Song'?

After our recent run of player misdeeds, I'm not surprised to see Lincoln make an early statement to a talented, yet unproven player.
Good call IMO.

Just a guess by me: this may mean Austin gets redshirted while Murray plays 2nd string.
I don't recall very many times during Stoops' years that a 3rd string QB ever saw much playing time and I do not believe Riley will change things....and of course, there's the fact that several games will be decided in the 4th quarter, thereby eliminating playing time for 3rd team QB's and most reserves in general.

The Led Zep version but not the one by Lana Del Rey, sorry...
Freeing up some roster spots for the new bad-asses he's reeling in.
Just my uneducated opinion, but don't think Austin is out of the race for #2 yet, and he did look pretty salty in his limited time last year.
I know the hype train for Kyler Murray has long left the station, I wouldn't be shocked to see Austin as the official #2. I don't think we see a guy play backup, then get redshirted as a sophomore.
Just a hunch.
Sometimes it isn't the public intox that gets you in trouble. It's what you were doing while intoxicated that does...
If it was public intox we would have heard about it from the media. Public record is just that....publicity abound. This would seem to be something internal and pretty severe. I'm surprised it has not been leaked by other players before now.
Given Robison's great potential, his misdeed must have been pretty serious or Riley's level of tolerance is lower than his predecessor.
More serious than a PI, most likely, but he put himself on short leash early, and in a program that needed to make a statement by the new, incredibly young head coach.
I think he was the "victim" of his own poor choices, coupled with untimely choosing to make those poor choices.
Regardless of all the hypotheticals, I think it is a wise move on Lincoln's part. No reason to get Old Testament, but a handful of metaphorical public linchings could go a long way.
And I don't have any more information than anyone else, but to your point of playing backup as a tru freshman, then redshirting the next year -
He was the backup last year by default. OU only had two eligible scholarship QBs on the team. Let him play as a true frosh, with intentions of redshirting his second year, because you know that Murray becomes eligible that year.
Nah, not more serious than a PI in the grand scheme of things.
When a bull manages to escape the simple fenced area and thinks he's free to do as he pleases, you put the electric fence up as an additional deterrent. When the bull ignores the electric fence and leaves the designated area again, it's time to shoot the bull before he does actual damage.
Far out! I've never thought about it like that. I like it and will write it down so I can use it myself.
The decision to dismiss might have had something to do with the kid's attitude towards his first offense. Or his general attitude between then and now. If he lacked remorse or a willingness to admit his mistake and get fully back in step then the second offense was the death blow.
Or the second offense(s) was just like the first offense minus the arrest, repeated several times until he was found out because of stupid behavior. Sometimes a program is larger than the individual. And sometimes you have to shoot the bull.
Agree. It will be interesting to see where he goes and how he makes out.
And it's a water heater, driver license, city limit and daylight saving time. If I see veritas59 say anything different, I'm calling him out.
He said he couldn't be in Norman for the summer, then likely showed up, having not worked on his skills and being in shape this summer. To come up for practice, and be dismissed immediately, would indicate that he was given a short leash, but whatever he needed to do, when not "here" he failed to do.
He likely had the attitude that it wasn't important, since he was a very likely redshirt this year. But on a short leash, that won't cut it. So he was cut.
All above is most likely correct. But I have a feeling there might have been a little bit of, "There's a new Sheriff in town.... and he's shooting wild bulls".
Here's where he landed.

I don't know what to think about Lane Kiffin right now. Seems like he has personal issues too. This is like one of those situations where addicts flock together. Could be a major sh*t show over there.
