I know this is gonna make you Longhorns happy, but I am so upset right now! And right after being SO happy that Roy got resigned!! Oh well, it's a good thing I'm a bigger Cowboys fan than I am a Sooners fan.. I'm still ticked though.. :mad:

For those that are curious, Bomar was "working" for a private business and got paid for a bunch of hours he didn't actually work.. Stoops found out and kicked him off the team, no questions asked.. and no chance for him to come back either..

EDIT: by the way, I'm ticked off at Bomar, not at Stoops.. I think he did the right thing..

Stoops had to move fast before the NCAA started sniffing around. They probably still will, but his quick action will probably prevent any serious consequences.

Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

That is huge. What the heck happened there? You know the NCAA is going to have a check see.

I think that also means that he might be elligable to be signed as a prospect. Don't know if he has to go into the draft or what.

who is RHETT BOMAR?!!

Highest rated QB in the country a couple years ago. Signed with OU. Was a freshman last year and started for OU. He's actually got a lot of talent. He could be a very interesting prospect.

I didn't personally know him, but I'm told, among other things, that they were glad to see him go...

Hear that? That's the sound of OU's season circling the drain...

Seriously, I almost feel sorry for Adrian Peterson. Is there anyone in the nation who doesnt know what Stoops will be doing on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down this year? Lord knows it wont be Paul Thompson throwing the ball

I am a huge OU fan, and I am glad to see him go. He was always in trouble and obvioulsy wasn't going to learn. Good bye Bomar!! I guess the Juco Transfer Halzle will be taking the job.

Bomar off OU football team

From Staff and Wire Reports
Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops says he's dismissing two players from the Sooner football team.
Oklahoma confirmed that two players had been dismissed by the team but did not identify them. The school said in a statement that the players violated NCAA rules by working at a private business and taking "payment over an extended period of time in excess of time actually worked."

Oklahoma City television station KWTV reported that Bomar, who set an Oklahoma freshman record with 2,018 passing yards after taking over as the Sooners' starter in the second game last season, was one of the two players who had been permanently dismissed.

"We spend a considerable amount of time addressing our players regarding their personal conduct and the NCAA rules," head coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "They know exactly what we expect from them. Ultimately, they have to make right decisions. The same holds true for our boosters. When they do not, the consequences are serious, and we will not tolerate this behavior.

"Our team and university actions are necessary because of the intentional participation and knowledge of the student athletes in these violations," Stoops said.

A top-rated recruit out of high school, Bomar redshirted his first season while 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Jason White completed his career. Bomar lost a quarterback competition to Paul Thompson last fall, but was named the starter after the Sooners lost to TCU in the first week.

He started Oklahoma's final 11 games and completed 54 percent of his passes, while throwing 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Oklahoma finished 2005 by winning six of its final seven games, including a victory against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl.

"I firmly believe that our program is stronger than any individual player and that a championship program cannot compromise its values," Stoops said in the statement.
