Some people just never learn

Just when the Oklahoma Football Program had cleared the clouds of the corrupt past, this , happens and sends them spinning back to the edge of the black hole of shame.

But after Wednesday's announcement that Bomar and starting offensive lineman J.D. Quinn have been permanently dismissed from the Oklahoma football team for taking wages from a Norman car dealership for work they didn't do, the Sooners are right back to where they were at the beginning of the 2005 season. They've got no quarterback, a thin offensive line and a star tailback who will find fewer holes than a prairie dog burrowing in the dusty Oklahoma hardpan.

Here we have another example of a booster not being smart enough to keep his money going to the right places. He is paying the STARTING QUARTERBACK and at least on other for work that they did not do. Instead of just making a big donation to the school's athletic program, this king sized idiot, basically flushes his team's football season down the drain. This was a team that was going to contend for not only the Big 12 championship but also possibly the National championship. The team has one of if not the best running back in college football, and was returing 20 of 22 starters, that is untill yesterday when 2 more were kicked off the team completely. Bravo to Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops for doing the right thing and getting rid of these cancers. But apparently this is not the first time Bomar has been in trouble and apparently he has never learned to make the right decisions, even when they are hard.

Bomar was rated the No. 1 high school quarterback prospect in the country after a stellar career at Grand Prairie (Texas) High, where he was coached by his father, Jerry Bomar. He was supposed to be more physically gifted than former Sooners quarterback Jason White, the 2003 Heisman Trophy winner. Bomar had a stronger arm and ran as well or better than White, who wasn't quite as nimble after twice tearing knee ligaments.
But White was apparently far superior than Bomar above the shoulders. Bomar was twice cited for underage possession of alcohol while enrolled at Oklahoma, and in another incident was cited for hosting a nuisance party near campus.
And then there was his part-time job at Big Red Sports/Imports -- what did you expect, Cowboy Orange? -- where he earned $18,000 for little or no work. Jobs like that in Norman haven't come to light since star linebacker Brian Bosworth was paid to watch oil rigs run. At least Bomar was honorable enough to report his wages to the IRS. Better than reporting them directly to the NCAA.

This is a kid with enormous tallent below the shoulders, but apparently daddy was more intent on getting his kid a scholarship than teaching him the difference between right and wrong. Let's hope that Bomar will get his college degree, or he may end up having to actually work for a living as a car sales man. I do know one thing, Bomar's college football days are over. Again Bravo to coach Stoops for doing the right thing and dumping this kid. This quote says it all with regards to the change in management in Norman.

By booting his quarterback, Stoops might have jeopardized another season. At least he didn't sacrifice his integrity, which is something Barry Switzer might have done.
