"She's like a barbecue ... I put my meat up on her grill."



I give this kid about three months, even in Norman.

 

[Sooner-Tuf]

He better have some really special football skills. It doesn't look like he has anything else to fall back on.

 

[Orange Salad Ranch]

He sounds like Team Captain material for Stoops. Maybe if he gets drunk one day and bashes his buddy's head in with a bat the Sooners will petition to get him an extra year of eligibility.

 

[Dirty Martin]

Very impressive.

Just curious, if this was filmed on the OU campus, why are the Horns. OSU, and other college logos on the wall behind him?

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Looks like he should be a great fit for Zero U. Has he been hired at BRSI yet?

Did Loadholt ever post bail and get out of jail for his DWI? If so, I'm sure he'll slap some sense into Jarboe.

 

[daytonhorn]

But can he sell cars?

 

[ALLdayDRE]

does anybody actually have a working link to this video? i would love to see it.

 

[marley]

What an unbelievable loser.

Payroll Stub: Big Red Sports/Imports

Criminal Background Search: Try one on this guy . . . or wait a couple of months into the season and do it then.

Either way, he's trash.

Nice job, Bob.

The irony of this whole stupidity is that I'd guess 80% of the players on our collective teams aren't much different than this kid.

That number might be a little high, but not by too much.

Are we really going to bag on some kid for rapping about some thug **** after our experiences over the past few years?

The story has hit The Sporting News.

Posted: July 31, 2008
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- An incoming freshman football player at Oklahoma who was arrested earlier this year on a weapons charge has made a video during which he raps about guns and shooting people.

The 74-second, profanity-laced video featuring wide receiver Josh Jarboe is circulating on the Internet. It appears to have been filmed in a university athletic dormitory.


Oklahoma athletic department spokesman Kenny Mossman did not immediately return a phone message left Thursday by The Associated Press.

Jarboe signed with the Sooners in February. In March, he was arrested after an assistant principal at Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Ga., told a school police officer he saw Jarboe grab a gun from a car.

Jarboe was expelled from school, but completed his high school degree online.

He pleaded guilty in late May in Georgia to charges of bringing a gun to school and carrying a pistol without a license. A judge reduced the charges to misdemeanors because Jarboe was a first-time offender and sentenced Jarboe to two years of probation and 80 hours of community service.

The felony charges could have prevented Jarboe from attending Oklahoma.

After Jarboe's guilty plea, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops issued a statement saying that the Sooners "look forward to a long and successful career for him both academically and on the football field.

"He became involved in a situation at his school during his senior year that certainly has caused us concern. At the same time, we have personal knowledge of Josh through our recruiting contact with him and from personal references from his school and individuals of authority in his life."

Stoops said then that "we have already stressed to him that his citizenship is of the utmost importance. He understands that anything less than exemplary behavior will not be tolerated."

The last line in that Sporting News article is a classic.

 

[TexasStarHorn]

The only reason this is a big deal is because of his previous charges. It's pretty dumb to rap about guns and killing people after you just got arrested for something similar.

Other than that, big deal. It's just another guy trying to rap. Like we don't have players that do that. Maybe not rap about stuff they got arrested for, but you see my point.

For all of you saying, "What's the big deal? All CFB players do this." -- It isn't about some kid rapping. It's about a kid arrested on felony gun charges earlier this year, who got the charges reduced to misdemeanors because he's a football star, then going to his future alma mater and posting a profanity-laced rap about the very thing he was arrested for, and his future coach blathering about how they won't tolerate this, he must be an exemplary citizen, yada yada.

I don't expect Dre Jones to be reinstated to the Horns, but if he were, then proceeded to post a rant about breaking into people's houses & stealing DVD players, I'm fairly certain he'd be canned.

 

[Endust]

what a ******* poser.

i'd like to see him and robert joseph meet on the street.
