headed home . . . as in didnt qualify, got homesick, left his lunch . . . what?

Per Jake Trotter of ESPN, supposedly McGee is homesick. Stoops is giving him a couple days to make up his mind.

I remember when John Michael McGee didn't get an offer on a Jr Day at Texas and then tweeted about it in a whining fashion. Sounds like not much has changed. He's a whiner and Bob Stoops still requires that true freshmen OLs drink their own vomit during two-a-days.

I could see getting homesick if I was looking at 4-5 years in that dump.

I hope the Evans injury isnt serious but it doesnt sound very good for him or us. I hope people are wrong on this though. What does this do to our OL? Well, that great depth we had is now starting and the new depth doesnt have to shave yet. Tackle is still good, but C and OG are in a numbers crunch now. Ikard at center now, Irwin will now have to start and Nila has to back up both spots unless Woods can continue to whip his cancer (talk about tough). We have bodies at C and OG, but it takes an lineman time to get the techniques down so I am not really counting on the newbies.

Gonna be very interesting to see how Stoops works with this. There have been a couple of suprises up front depth chart wise that may free some things up for moving some people around, but we will see.

TexShoe, last i checked, Macks teams have had more practice making excuses after our games than Stoops.

Of course you would think that. Every time Stoops loses a game, he opens the press conference with, "we don't make excuses here at OU", then proceeds to pack the rest of the PC stuffed with excuses.

What's with Evans' knee? ACL?

Stoops didnt confirm ACL, but everyone else is saying it is. I think Nila did practice today, but Im not sure. IMO, the starting 5 will be:

LT- Thompson
LG- Irwin
C - Ikard
RG-Shead
RT- Williams

Everyone has played before, 2 of the 5 have started I think. Still, all of this and we aint even gone full pads yet. I guess its good that its happening now instead of game week. Cant lose anymore, thats a fact. Everything else has been great with the team. We will be ready in October even if we have to move a TE over there like we did in 09 as the season went on. Crazy year. The entire right side of the OL were TEs one game....LOL.

If I am not mistaken, this is going to be the best offensive line Stoops will have seen at OU by the end of the first week of practice.

How is it possible to get homesick that quickly?

It is a certainty that Oklahoma talk radio will declare OU the best line in the history of football by the end of two a days at the latest.

I realize the sarcasm, but "minor heart surgery" is funny to me. Any time there's a sharp object near the ticker it isn't minor.

I wish it was sarcasm, but Big Game Bob also thought Jason White's torn ACL was a minor knee injury and promptly sent his gimpy ass right back in the game. Same went for Sam Bradford, Landry Jones.
