Agreed. She assaulted him, twice as it turns out, he assaulted back and served a year suspension for it. It should be laid to rest and done with. Neither should've done what they did. I was raised to never hit a woman and never will, but if women want equality and all that comes with it then they need to stop acting like they should have a protective barrier. She did stupid crap, and got a stupid reply. If it were a guy, this wouldn't even be mentioned past the first couple of months bc he's a semi-famous player/recruit at the time.

Dude shouldn't have touched her, but there again...18 year old's at a bar aren't known for making the best decisions. He paid for it, stuck with things and now deserves to be able to carry on.

Mixon has paid the penalty he was given. So that should be it as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps one could argue the penalty wasn't as severe as it should have been; however, I don't think Mixon had any input in whatever penalty he received. Therefore, in that he served his time, I can't understand the purpose for releasing this video and have the people involved, the school and even the team have to go through any more crap pertaining to that incident. However, for the record, I don't know anyone of my friends back when I was 18 years old that would have responded like Joe did. And I bet the vast majority of you posters wouldn't have either. There's no excuse for hitting that girl especially with the force that has been reported.

It's not like there will be any intelligent Horn or Poke fans who will come here to flame about it. First of all, there aren't any, and secondly, given the states of their sports programs they would only prove my first point if they did post here on the topic. Bitchslap City. :)

Kinda surprises me that some still want to blame the woman for Mixon's actions. Mixon did the crime, did the time, and everyone needs to move forward. If he has another incident then off he goes

Leering at Sheep anus is keeping the citizens of Stoolwater busy this time of the year and I hear that Oil Can Harry's is running a mating season special in Austin so that is likely where all the football fans are right now.

All this does is give the holier than thou fans to post there 150th post about how it should or shouldn't have been handled. I read the Horn board and a couple of Sooner boards. Two years after the incident and it's still a broken record on the boards. The kid did his time. He has moved on the team has moved on and coach Stoops has moved on. This shouldn't be a debate about how Joe should be punished it's been two years for Christ sakes......nothing to see here move on. All this does imo is hey" look at me" I would never hit a female. Also have to remember the kid had just turned 18, and last I checked kids make poor split second decisions.

Those thinking they'll ever see that tape are only fooling them selves. Lol

I quoted you Tulsan because I know you get it.

Mixon has paid and hopefully learned a lesson, but I believe that Stoops, Boren and the OU administration need to learn something as well....and that SHOULD be to put in place freshman curfews and make sure each athlete is made aware of all that he represents when playing at OU.
An OU athlete having just turned 18 has to be made aware of life's pecking order as he enters the adult world and especially as a high profile athlete at a D-1 school. Mixon evidently was too wrapped up in his celebrity status....one he probably had since the 9th grade....and put himself in a compromising position simply because he did not know better.
I'm pissed more at OU than I am at Mixon. Now, eighteen months after Mixon's provoked assault, OU looks to have some serious fence mending to do on its PR front. I have no sympathy for OU in this matter.

What difference does that make, especially in light of what has happened at OU ? If such a curfew prevented a high school boy from coming to OU would you really want OU to bring him on board ?
Auburn has a private security firm enforcing players' nightly curfews, to answer your question and I'm sure there are more schools with similar measures.

I'm very calm. My answering a question with a question was not to be confrontational.
My thought is IF no other school implemented curfews or guidelines for its athletes, why not have OU be a leader in monitoring the activities (to some degree) by athletes ? If such a scenario existed, it would not matter what other football factories did as far as I'm concerned.....and OU would avoid some headaches down the road.

You don't know that and nor does the typical football fan. Having said that, I think Mixon was lucky to only be suspended for a year, but he served his time and shouldn't continue to be harassed about anymore. But, of course, he will be if the video is released.

I dunno CT. At first I find myself agreeing with the idea of a curfew. But then I remind myself that these kids are 18 years old and legally adults. If Bob and the coaches feel they have to put curfews and restrictions on kids they recruit, then maybe they should have recruited another kid that they didn't feel was prone to such errors in judgement. Teenagers are going to be teenagers. I definitely get that. But the vast majority of freshman who show up on OUs campus conduct themselves appropriately and stay out of trouble. Why allow a very small number of kids who don't, ruin it for the rest of the kids? I would think it would be pretty demoralizing and disappointing, to show up to OU your freshman year and have to abide by a curfew while the rest of your buddies get to stay out as late as they want and enjoy the college life/experience. At some point, the coaches have to have faith and trust in the athletes they recruit into the program.

I feel the culprit is today's culture. College coaches should work toward changing the culture for the better rather setting rules aimed at only one class (freshman) on his team.

If curfews were for all freshman athletes at all colleges, what's the issue ?
Joe Mixon came to OU with no previous character issues in high school reported. No one saw his problem coming. But had he been in his dorm room at midnight that fateful night, the event wouldn't have happened. And OU would have been spared the huge task of image fixing which now looks to raise its ugly head again 18 months after the event.
Mixon, like all OU athletes, is not just an average freshman. He's a boy in a man's body with very high expectations put upon him to perform at a high level in front of thousands. He represents his team, the coaches, OU and himself....unlike the average freshman....and he and his teammates need to recognize this.
It may be time to instill in young kids that certain forms of discipline help to make them more responsible adults, which makes them better people. They can't go through life thinking things should be given to them on a silver platter, or that there are not consequences for making stupid and careless decisions even with celebrity status.
I can't help wondering how Mixon would be regarded had he been a walk-on player (or a tennis player or golfer) at OU, instead of a highly recruited running back.

I understand there is no way anyone could have seen something like this coming. Nobody can predict how a person is going to react in a situation like that until they are confronted with it. But life is a series of lessons you learn as you get older. Mixon learned his lesson his first year on campus about how NOT to react to a situation like that. Simply putting a curfew on the kid doesn't guarantee he wouldn't be faced with a similar situation in upcoming years while at OU. So if he had no moral compass as a freshman on how to handle a chick getting in his face and getting physical in that manner, then that lack of moral compass is still there as a sophomore, junior, etc. Because everyone who enjoyed drinking and partying at that age knows, going out to bars and clubs there are always going to be situations like what happened with Mixon. It's unavoidable. Besides, curfews don't prevent situations like this anyways. Alcohol related events and/or disagreements like this happen 24/7. But I'm just not a fan of increasing controls on kids because of isolated events of teenagers making wrong decisions. At some point you have to let them live their lives and sometimes learn right from wrong the hard way.

Just about every sports fan in America knows how that would have come down. High profile athletes get treated differently.....its the culture today. How do you think coaches in the Bud Wilkinson era would have handled this? Of course, that's a rhetorical question for you CT. No answer is required as we both know that years ago, this would have been a much more serious event and the player would have been dismissed from the team. But now days, a coach would be criticized by a minority of fans for doing so. The criticism... a coach will take.....but removing a player of Joe's potential is much more difficult. That's why I say that Bob Stoops, Joe C. and Boren didn't make a surprising decision. I agree where you are coming from.

This may cause Mixon to explore his draft position at the end of the season. Even at a 2nd or 3rd round pick may be good enough for him to enter. If he stays and is a heisman candidate this will follow him through the whole process.
