[pfhornfan]

I read in the the local paper that he had left Roscoe High early to enroll early and go through spring practice, but then the other day he pack his things up to join the marines.

I don't know how to create a link but I can tell you that you can find the article at gosanangelo.com in the sports section or you can explain to me how to create a link.

"Even as Britt Mitchell was packing to leave the University of Oklahoma last week, his Sooners football teammates were unpacking his things, trying to make him stay."

Not a bad thing to lose a recruit to the military service. Good luck to the kid.

For the Sooner that does take away one of their OT prospects.

Good for Britt - our country should always salute young men and women who recognize the call to serve the country.

I believe we were recruiting Britt at one point. Godspeed young man.

Wow, a 6' 8", 300+ lb. pound Marine ought to put the fear of God (and America) into somebody in Iraq or Afghanistan. Best wishes to him and his fellow Marines.

Wow. If war is Hell, I guess it's still preferable to OU.

First he committed to fake army over in collie station, then to the dirt burglars. Now he's gonna be a Marine...Mitchell's moved way up in the world. All the luck to him...he's gonna need it for the next couple of years.
