![]() What bothers me is the comments that follow the 74 second video clip. Now, let me put back on my blogger cap and say whatever I please, because this is my blog. Bottom line, Jarboe is not a Sooner because of this incident. Quite possibly, Jarboe thought it would be funny to do the same being that a summer in Norman is about as fun as playing a Sega Genesis in 2008. The teammate thought it was funny and would be a satire of the infamous Malcolm Kelly freestyle a few years back. People do not realize that Jarboe did NOT post the video on, his white teammate did who will remain anonymous. It was a sad way for him to learn this way and I hope something positive comes out of all of this. If Jarboe did not know he was a representative of the University of Oklahoma, he learned the hard way that this is no way to represent your university. Let's also bring to light that he is a Freshman in college. Let's be honest and admit he is not from the best parts of Decatur, which is a fact. People talk about what they know and what they have seen in life, thus being the case of this rap. Jarboe already had one strike against him. Many OU players have been accused of DUI's, assault and battery, drug charges etc all of which actually harm other people and allowed to stay on the team. Jarboe did not commit any crimes with his lyrics. I will take off my blogger/columnist hat and put on my fair both sides report the news journalist hat. Jarboe already had a strike against him, Coach Stoops caught wind of the matter and swiftly dismissed the player. ![]() The video surfaced on Youtube yesterday evening that featured Jarboe rapping and using controversial (normal in hip hop) lyrics. The players have been gone since last weekend, because they were given a break before training camp started. The time of when the rap occurred is unknown. However, he will not get the chance to do very well in training camp. He has been in Norman all summer long participating in workouts and doing very well. After the situation had been handled in the court system, Bob Stoops made the decision to allow Jarboe to keep his scholarship and fulfill his commitment as a Sooner. Jarboe later offered a statement explaining the issue and labeled it as a misunderstanding. The assistant principal caught Jarboe with the gun in the school parking lot. He was not a stranger to trouble being sentenced in May to two years probation and 80 community service for carrying a gun on the grounds of his high school in Decatur, GA. Jarboe, was ranked 13th ranked nationally among all positions. "We are disappointed in this outcome, but our complete review and the final decision is in the best interest of the program," Stoops said in a prepared statement. Josh Jarboe, a highly coveted Freshman WR, from Atlanta, GA has been dismissed from the OU football team before he ever played a down. Kicked off the team for a Freestyle? Word!.
