    <span style="color:#6600CC">Ah, shit! Now Brooksie is going to accuse me of bashing Oklahoma cause I posted this. I suppose this isn't newsworthy, either?</span><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sources: Oklahoma dismisses starting QB BomarESPN.com news servicesOklahoma starting quarterback Rhett Bomar will not play for the Sooners this season following an investigation by the team, sources told ESPN's Joe Schad and ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach on Wednesday.Sophomore J.D. Quinn, who was expected to start at guard, was also dismissed.Oklahoma said that two players had been dismissed by the team but did not identify them. The school said in a statement that the players violated NCAA rules by working at a private business and taking "payment over an extended period of time in excess of time actually worked."Bomar apparently filed for 40-hour work weeks at a Norman, Okla., auto dealership, making up to $18,000, when he only worked 5 hours a week, Schad reported.The car dealership in question is Big Red Sports/Imports in Norman, Okla., reports Schlabach. When contacted by phone, the person answering referred requests to attorney Jeffrey Atkins of Oklahoma City. The dealership is part of the Sooner Schooner Car Program, which supplies vehicles to coaches and athletic department officials.In April, Oklahoma cleared standout running back Adrian Peterson, who purchased a vehicle from the dealership before securing financing, drove it for several weeks and then returned the car. Oklahoma investigated the situation, but ruled Peterson did not violate rules because the dealership said it was normal business practice."We spend a considerable amount of time addressing our players regarding their personal conduct and the NCAA rules," head coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "They know exactly what we expect from them. Ultimately, they have to make right decisions. The same holds true for our boosters. When they do not, the consequences are serious, and we will not tolerate this behavior."Our team and university actions are necessary because of the intentional participation and knowledge of the student athletes in these violations," Stoops said.A top-rated recruit out of high school, Bomar redshirted his first season while 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Jason White completed his career. Bomar lost a quarterback competition to Paul Thompson last fall, but was named the starter after the Sooners lost to TCU in the first week.Bomar set an Oklahoma freshman record with 2,018 passing yards. He started Oklahoma's final 11 games and completed 54 percent of his passes, while throwing 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Oklahoma finished 2005 by winning six of its final seven games, including a victory against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl.Quinn, who was Bomar's roommate, started four times at right guard last season but missed spring practice with an injury."I firmly believe that our program is stronger than any individual player and that a championship program cannot compromise its values," Stoops said in the statement.Thompson, the only quarterback other than Bomar with experience at Oklahoma, was moved to receiver after Bomar became the starter. A backup in 2002 and 2003, Thompson played in a reserve role until he beat out Bomar last fall.In his career, Thompson has completed 42 of 73 passes for 428 yards. He caught 11 passes for 106 yards after moving to receiver last season.Other options would be Joey Halzle, a junior transfer who passed for 2,077 yards and 13 touchdowns in 10 games last season at Golden West (Calif.) Community College, freshman Sam Bradford and walk-on Hays McEachern.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Mark Schlabach covers college football and men's college basketball for ESPN.com.

    I wasn't a jackass. All I did is ask if that's all you talk about. I haven't noticed you posting many topics, the only two I remember were both about something going wrong in Miami.

Hopefully they have someone decent enough to free up Adrian Peterson to be a pimp. [​IMG]

[​IMG] I'm an FSU fan. Miami is our rival. I hate Miami. I don't know why it's so hard for you to wrap your head around the fact that I may not be waving green and orange pom poms about my teams most hated rival. Yes...occasionally I may talk shit about them. That tends to happen in sports. I had no idea I was walking on unprecidented ground here.</span>

    Wow they went through a crappy year just to get him ready and make him amazing and now they never get to see the final product. Looks like an opening for another team to make a BCS championship run.
