    Next thing you know a Tenn player will get caught with scales, baggies and marijuana in his dorm room. Wouldn't it be funny if Tenn then kicked him off the team. I bet no school would stoop to a level low enough to take on such a kid if something like that happened.

    well, to be fair to Lynn, he turned about to be a pretty good dude and never got in trouble again. it also must be noted the coaches had a previous relationship with him and felt they could trust him... despite the fact he was selling weed like a dumbass.

    Lynn is a good example of why kids should be given second chances.

    Maybe it's just me, but I see a pretty large difference between a misdemeanor and a wholesale drug ring running out of one's dorm room. The fact that he turned out "ok" doesn't excuse that he shouldn't have been offered a roster spot on another Division 1 team.

    who are you arguing with? i didn't compare their situations at all. but knowing what i know about lynn macgruder, i'm saying i might have given him the second chance as well. stoops did, and it worked out good for the team and the player.

    Was Jameel Owens (OU recruit) participating or was he just watching the others smoke? Does he still have an offer from OU?

    I guess you did not go to HS with Lynn when he was in Texas or keep in touch with him when he went to what, Nevada? Because I know two that did and your comments are way off as you did not know the young man. There is a reason why no schools other than ou went after him.

    Think about it, even Phil Fulmer could not keep him on board. My god man, that is like the devil not being able to be evil enough.

    Don't act like Mack Brown never gives a kid a second chance. He's reluctant to continue extending the favor, though.

    MB does give 2nd chances sometimes, and really I don't have a problem with coaches giving kids a 2nd chance.

    But I think its interesting that an OU fan is posting a story about a Tenn recruiting trip on a UT board, a story that has nothing to do with UT at all, and he chooses to mention in the title that Horns have had problems with the law. Why isn't the title, Tenn players get busted during a visit, or OU recruit in the car when Tenn players arrested, or Interesting trip for Jameel Owns, or any of a million other titles that describe the story but do not bash Texas?

    So Mike, where are these players now? They aren't on the team because they were immediately kicked off, which is a lot different than recruiting and then signing a known drug dealer.

    Orange, I'm not discussing Jameson Curry. I'm talking about the initial post. He said, "at least nothing like this has happened" and it has. We had four guys get pulled over one time, and I believe there were drugs and a gun involved.
