Sooners dump freshman over rap
Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops said Friday that he had dismissed from the team an incoming freshman player who had been arrested earlier this year on a weapons charge. The dismissal of wide receiver Josh Jarboe came after the player appeared in a 74-second, profanity-laced video in which he rapped about guns and shooting people. The video is circulating on the Internet and appears to have been filmed in a university athletic dormitory.

This is Stoops fault. He's too old, he has lost control of his team.

LOL I guess Stoops thinks that everything said in rap is real, what a dumb f***. I guess he's still waiting on kobe to tell shaq what his butt tastes like too huh?

Good to see a coach do something right. Way to go OU..sounds like others need to follow suit.

I honestly think that Stoops regretted his decision to let Jarboe stay after his initial problems. I think he was looking for a reason to end the Sooners relationship with Jarboe. IMO, he made the right decision for the team.

What an idiot, get arrested on weapons charges. Stoops gives him a gift and doesn't kick him off the team. So he goes out and puts a (lame)_rap on the idiot talking about what... guns.

I'm a Texas fan, and thusly I hate Oklahoma, but I have to say that Stoops almost always does the right thing in these scenarios. At least the man has principles.

Stoop is always man of principles. For RADIOMAN818, Stoop did the same thing for Bomar (#1 QB). Its matter of team decipline. Historically, OU never rely on one player. Keep up the good work BOB

weapon charges i can see that, but getting kicked off the team for rapping is going way over board

Ok, so the kid gets arrested on weapons charges, the later raps about shooting people. If it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck...
And really, if Stoops had waited until the kid got arrested again or actually shot somebody, everybody would be complaining that he ignored obvious warning signs.
Good move on his part, imo.

Imagine the uproar if OU and Stoops had allowed this fool rapper to stay on the team? meanwhile, Reggie Bush accepted how many hundred thou$and$ while playing at U$C ? this is fact, folks (too bad the NCAA though only spends it time investigating teams east of the Rockies).

ekofisk, how true when it comes to usc. they can pretty much do what ever they want and the ncaa won't touch them. as far as "rap" goes it's crap. this moron probably reads at the 2nd grade level. i doubt he would have gotten through school.
