This Is What Obstructing A Passageway Looks Like

Speedy Texas kick returner/running back DJ Monroe has been reinstated to the Texas football team after his DUI arrest was dropped to a lesser charge of obstruction of a passageway. The reason for the change was due to a plea agreement and the end result is him being in uniform and playing in the BCS championship game.
So what does obstructing a passageway look like? Apparently it looks a lot like drunk driving. You've got the swerving in and out of lanes, not being able to walk in a straight line or follow simple instructions. There's also mumbling to yourself and everyone's favorite, vomiting in the back seat of a police car. Of course a UT football player arrest video would be the same without said player saying, "Is there anything I can do? I play for the University of Texas." Basically he's using his get out of jail free card there and it worked.
The next time a Longhorn gives you the, "Bob Stoops would do anything to win and has no discipline on his team" line refer them to this video. Mack Brown had to sign off on Monroe's return to the team and apparently has less integrity than a democratic senator.
The next time you see a person showing the above signs of drunkenness take heart. They're most likely not cocked and loaded behind the wheel of a 1,500 pound vehicle endangering the lives of dozens of innocent drivers and passengers. They're just obstructing a passageway which is really no big deal at all.

What's up with the snide political comment?
I thought we were here to talk sports, not national politics.
I see it now, I skimmed through the BS of trying to trash on Mack

I thought Sergio Kindle hitting as building, leaving without knowing what might have happened to the people in the building & claiming he was texting was enough…..lets ponder again exactly how many horns have crossed the line in the last 3 years….
’
Someone is going to kill someone one day & I hope the family sues Mack Brown with drunk as well. The sad part is these guys are UT FOOTBALL players the use that line on every chick in town, but not on some wannabe who would drive them home sober…
But they love to point out Bomar.
How do you know Kindle didn't know what happened to anyone in the building?
Were you there? Did you see him not, well, poke his head through the hole he put in the building?

let's all say this together
TEXASS SUCKS!
It is nice to know how UT, Smack Clown and the law enforcement in Texas handles things like this.
Puhleeze....Sooners talking about Texas infractions is like 'The kettle calling the pot black"...
Jarboe? Chaisson, Stephenson…Loadholt…The Norman police blotter goes on and on.
No Mr O-face sniper
you are the clowns that toss the garbage and pretend you have no black marks. You just don’t like it when the crap comes to your side. Too bad. Stick it and sit on it.
Again I repeat, TEXASS SUCKS!
Pot meet kettle is absolutely right
Dusty Dvoracek anybody? This is a good blog, but posting this stuff is pointless when the same crap happens in your house. The same as Sooners complaining about USC getting away with cheating. Look in the mirror while you prep for El Paso.
Wow
You still don’t get it. It’s not about how schools handle their bad apples, it’s the fact that the program that YOU blog about has a history of thuggish and stupid student/athletes, just like the programs YOU point your finger at.
Maybe you should think twice about writing about stuff like this. Glass houses and all. Be above it.
No I Get It
Longhorns love to rave about Oklahoma’s problems but when the same problems raise their ugly heads up in the Texas program then no one should talk about them because those type of things happen at every school. Yeah, I get it. Bob Stoops has no discipline but Mack Brown is above board, to Longhorn fans, for approaching things the same way.
isn’t this genius doing the exact thing he’s criticizing us for by bringing up Dvoracek? What he clearly doesn’t get is that every school has their bad apples as he puts it, but what is actually important (or at least telling of the coach’s character) is how they deal w/ them. So when Stoops kicks his 5-star starting QB off the team weeks before the season starts and Mack Brown constantly gets away w/ sitting out kids during their brutal non-con schedule there is actually a difference. You may be able to point out a single incidence like you all love to do w/ Loadholt, but taken as a whole Stoops has a much better track record of handling his players mistakes appropriately than Mack Brown. Now if you simply don’t care that’s one thing, but if your trying to defend the way Mack reacts compared to Stoops then you simply do not have a leg to stand on. However, feel free to keep trying because is provides us w/ great entertainment!
Like Stoops had a choice!
Stoops had no choice when he kicked Bomar off the team. The NCAA was approaching. You make it sound like Stoops was noble. He turned his back on the problem for the entire season and when the media story was ready to break he took action..
It's not like Monroe got off scot-free
He missed at least three games with a suspension, and pled guilty to a lesser offense in a common plea deal.
What has been the standard for a DUI/DWI for Sooners? I’m not being snarky with that question; I’m honestly curious what has happened in recent incidents, if any.

I dn’t even know what the hell I said, how about you edit out the offending words rather than the entirety of my post that basically called you out for you/your program being the biggest bunch of hypocrits possible? explain to mean how mack’s handling of dj monroes case is worse than stoops’ handling of loadholt?

Man, you dweebs losing to every ranked team you play, sure has you hostile.....
It’s a shame your team doesn’t seem to be bothered by losing.
Next thing you will tell me is that all those NCs Switzer won using thugs on steroids that never went to class, were legitimate !
It seems like I've said this 100 times
The usual penalty for UT players with a DWI is 3 game suspension. His suspension was until the legal process played out. He ended up being suspended for 3 games. He wasn’t even charged with a DWI. God knows we have our problems with the law just like any othr school. But it seems you’re just trying to make some conspiracy when there is none. Its not like UT badly needed Monroe to play in the NC game. Goodwin and Shipley are quite adapt at returning kicks. I’m sure that an OU fan would know that as well as anyone.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Who cares?
I don’t care. If it means winning more games I’m all for it. The idea that college football was about integrity, character, sportsmanship and STUDENT-athletes died a long time ago. Its about winning football games and you gotta do what you gotta do. If it wasn’t people would only talk about how Florida’s football team is basically a prison.
There was a firefight!!!!
Show me a politician on either side of the aisle who has any integrity at all, and I’ll give you points. Please keep political remarks off my sports reading list. Thanks.

I'm sure the dude...
who kidnapped his girlfriend and held a screw driver to her throat was no biggie. Just normal dirt burglar bs.
Enjoy El Paso! I’m sure that’s what your goal was in the beginning of the season
as I said in the Fanpost on this one
It happens at OU and at Texas, and any other University you want to name. I find it hypocritical and short sighted for ANY fan base to start throwing stones over it.
the crap I knew that went on while I was going to school at OU that never made the papers makes this look pretty tame. I’m sure the same can be said for every major university.
