Ryan Broyles Suspended

Ryan Broyles, Norman high standout and one of three true freshmen that OU staff had indicated might play this season, was arrested Friday morning for allegedly stealing gasoline from a local gas station. Stoops has suspended Broyles indefinitely.

While many consider this to be yet another black rye on the Sooners’ reputation, I think this is a positive. Let’s look back into Sooner lore to see how this situation would have been handled in the past…

1985 – player car is low on fuel, calls booster who delivers new car with full tank.
1989 – player’s car is low on fuel, shoots fellow player who’s trying to raise money by cutting hair.
2004 – player’s car is low on fuel, reports false hours to employer to raise money to buy gas.
2007 – player’s car is low on fuel, player steals gas.

Folks, this is progress! The compliance efforts are working.
