Free ride costs Texas suspension
Texas has suspended senior receiver Billy Pittman for the first three games of the 2007 season for breaking NCAA rules by borrowing a friend's car this summer. UT officials said the person who allowed Pittman to use the car was not connected to the university, but they didn't identify the person. Pittman characterized the person as "a friend." The school alerted the NCAA and imposed the three-game suspension.

Friend = Booster. Texas is trying to jump on this and satisfy the NCAA so they won't look any further into it.

I think they need to reveal who the friend is. Was it a family friend or does this "friend" just happen to own a car dealership or something like that?

This ridiculous incident really says more about NCAA policies than the behavior of Billy Pittman or the Horns.

I hate the Horns, but I'm much more interested in finding out whether that kid from OU stealing the gas was given those activation codes by a booster.

What does a Sooner recruit being shot to death have to do with a Texas player being suspended? Anyway, Oklahoma wins the Big 12 again this year.

Unless the car belonged to someone who was in a capacity to be considered a booster or "friend of the program", what was the big deal anyway? Don't the goose-steppers who run the NCAA have anything better to do?
And I'm a Sooner fan...

A-rod comments like that should get you suspended from the community, that is totally uncalled for. But what I think this moron was trying to say was that the Sooners were trying to get the NCAA to allow them to do a fund raiser to help pay for the kids funeral that was shot. So then why wouldn't borrowing a car be allowed under the same rules? I go to UT and some of those athletes go crazy down here, especially on 6th street. That is why UT officials were trying to get this one under control because of the hellacious off-season they had.

Your choice of words shows you to be very clever, a-rod. Very witty, capitalizing the word "stole". We get the joke now. You should try taking your finger out of your eye when you write posts. It makes typing much less painful, and your caretaker might let you watch TV Land after your nap.
