    But enough about Dez Bryant.

    Story hasn't dropped yet, but the Oklahoman report says hostesses gave it up to recruits, grades were fixed, drug policies weren't followed, and the coaches ran a bounty program administered by Joe DeForest, now an assistant at West Virginia. And some other stuff that basically you'd assume was part of the program at Oklahoma State.

    School says it all happened between 2001 and 2007. That would include the tenure of one Les Miles.

    Fun week ahead. I hope nobody allowed his image to be used without permission.

    Is there a school where the hostesses don't nail the recruits? Isn't that the whole point of having them show recruits around?

    Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our recruits.... - we did.
    [winks at the NCAA]
    But you can't hold a whole football program responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole college football system? And if the whole NCAA is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, NCAA - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

    Over! It ain't over! It ain't over until we say it is! Was it over when Boise State won the national title?

    Boise State?

    Forget it, he's rolling.

    And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough . . . the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! C'mon!

    What the fuck happened to the Oklahoma State I used to know? Where's the drugs? Where's the hot women, huh?! This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst! "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well, JUST KISS MY ASS FROM NOW ON!!! Not me! I'm not gonna take this! NCAA, they're dead men! Mark Emmert, DEAD!

    "Three fourths of this is inaccurate. It's fiction. And this article embarrasses me to be involved with athletics. Tremendously. And that article had to have been written by a person who has never played college football, had sex with a recruiting hostess, done drugs and gotten paid on a recruiting trip. What has society come to?
    It makes me want to puke."

    Funny thing about this is that Gundy was on staff the entire time. Gonna be interesting to see how this sorts out.

    T. Boone's zillion-dollar oil fund is paying for hostess whores? Shocked, I say. Shocked!

    College football players getting money, drugs, sex?!?!? I'm shocked and appalled. Who do they think they are? European soccer players?

    Or maybe they're trying to imitate the Sooners and Miami Hurricanes from the 1980s!
