Huskers fan behind OU hoax
James W. Conradt, a Nebraska football fan living in Austin, Texas, says he didn't mean to hurt Oklahoma quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Landry Jones with his Internet hoax. So what was Conradt thinking Wednesday when he lifted a template off The Oklahoman's web site, newsok.com, wrote and pasted a bogus story about the Sooner pair's arrest on cocaine distribution charges, then posted it on a message board? The 36-year-old Conradt says he wasn't thinking. "I want to express my deepest apologies to the families," Conradt said Wednesday night, after his story was reported as fact by at least two Texas radio stations. "That's the thing I'm regretful about. I didn't want to hurt anyone." An apology might not be enough to sooth this over. "I'm going to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law," said Kevin Jones, Landry's father. "I've got deep enough pockets to do it."

What does that say about Nebraska fans???
OR that the story was "reported as fact by at least two Texas radio stations."
I'd say let the Oklahoma team line up one on one in pads with him. Then let Mr. Jones hit him hard in court.

I would go after the radio station that reported it as fact.Had to have been a Fox (Faux)stationsince they always make up the news.Surprising their are people in Texas who can read so there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Anyone still in denial about Americans having lost a sense of reality, perspective, and common decency didn't read this story. I mean, this isn't even an SEC fan from Alabama here we're talking about.

Dumb move, but I would be stunned if it wound up in a lawsuit. The kid's dad will lose interest, especially once he figures out that this guy probably doesn't have enough money to make a suit worthwhile. Then everyone will move on with their lives.

So he posted a bogus story on a message board... last time I checked that wasn't illegal or alot of posters on FanNation would be in jail. The 'reporters' who reported it should be fired for not verifying their sources.

Why you gotta bring Alabama into this discussion? Anyway, our cocaine selling stories happen to be true. :-)
