Based on the OU AD's comment, it seems there was an agreement that Art (as family) could attend games--but was barred from being on the field.

But, apparently "Sooner Nation" (whatever/whoever that is) wanted to hang the dirty laundry out in public.

believe sooner nation is the casino just off the interstate north of pauls valley

Honestly, I've never understood the Waco, Lubbock, and Stillwater hate.

I get the university hate, but the towns? They're so cool!

Waco - You have this gorgeous view of the Brazos, Dr. Pepper museum, and Texas sports museum.

Lubbock - My kids are a huge fan of "Hank the Cow Dog." You have the Josh Abbott Band AND the Panhandlers coming out of their. That whole area is the last real vestige of Texas cultur.

Stillwater - Birthplace of red dirt country....PERIOD.

I'm truly ambivalent about Waco now that the I-35 construction is done. It's a meaningless place to me a good for nothing except going to beat the dog snot out of Baylor on their home grounds. There's nothing else worth doing there; that's the reason I stay away and get the hell out as quickly as possible.

Stoolwater is just like Waco to be except I have much less Pokes hate so I don't mind the place at all. I wouldn't want to live there with a family and career, but it's a great college town.

Lubbuttock is supremely hatable. I'd vote yes on a proposal to give it away to New Mexico for free. Nothing about the town is fun or cool, the people suck the sweat off a dead man's balls, and there's even less reason to go there than Waco b/c it's not even on the way to anything worth doing. That place is 100% worthless. At least Waco makes sense as a pit stop between FW and Austin.

Isn’t the original broken wagon wheel that led to the settlement of Lubbock on display as well? That’s gotta be worth a pilgrimage.

One of my daughters went to Tech (2017 grad), we always thought Lubbock was a good college town. My wife also went to Tech, and said Lubbock was a much worse college town in those days. Her main complaint was the dust storms that would blow in from time to time - some of them of biblical proportions. She would occasionally get caught in one while walking across campus and her lip gloss would get caked in dust, haha.

Or you can fly to Killeen/Fort Hood or Austin. The Fort Hood airport is busier than you think and Austin Bergstrom is really busy.
Fort Cavazos. Just drove I-35 and first time I noticed sign change. Also, Baylor really leaning into the construction along the interstate. (Did not stop.)

Baylor rot spreading...

The esteemed Colonel is correct.
ROT
Even a lowly company-grade officer can see that. I hope ADJD has this in bold type for every TCU employee & every yellow-jacket CSC employee on campus working security on game-days. Note the extract below from the OU article:

“…
It was my expectation is it never would, based on boundaries we previously set: Here’s where there’s plenty of latitude to figure what this means, but a guess is that Briles wasn’t supposed to be near the OU football program, either formally or informally. Had those boundaries been crossed when Briles came onto the field?


Joe C. is one of the best athletics directors in the business. He hates controversy and there’s little doubt this cloud bothers him. So when he says he’s addressed it with the appropriate staff, you can bet it was immediately handled.

While some rabid OU fans may not like it, there’s nothing wrong with Briles being in the Memorial Stadium stands supporting his family. Lebby is right — family is family.

But there’s too much toxicity with Briles’ past for him to be anywhere near OU’s program. And Saturday’s moments on Owen Field was a bad look.”
