Goooood grief! Seriously? You’d think Art Briles threw new born babies off the Golden Gate Bridge…wow!
Preeeeeeety sure these same type things have occurred at other schools over the years…not justifying anything that was done by players or not handled properly by staff or administrators. But I’d bet a cheese burger that there may have been a few infractions at OU during some of their storied coaches, not the least of which might have been the great theologian Barry Switzer.
If you want a fascinating read look up “Scapegoat”. It’s that whole event written by a Baylor alum who set out to write the last great crushing book on the mayhem that happened under Coach Briles…
He did a deep dive with folks from ESPN, the Longhorn Network, local police & sheriff and those who would talk off the record from UT.
It’s very interesting when you read the who, what, when, where and why Texas would want to destroy Baylor football at that time. Again, the author of this book set out to put the final nail in the coffin of Coach Briles & Baylor Athletics…
And while we’re at it, that was pass interference in the end zone Saturday.
Now, I’ll take my online beating for posting this rant.
