Three Strikes & You're Out

The University of Oklahoma football team has dismissed quarterback Rhett Bomar and guard J.D. Quinn permanently. Bomar and Quinn "worked" at an auto dealership for a few hours a week and received large sums of money. Wow. Good call guys. I could just imagine those two snickering at work saying "dang dude we're getting paid for not doing anything!" (insert awkward high five here). Rhett Bomar is no stranger to controversy. He was busted for having a party at his house and a received a Minor in Possession at the Hornets game in his sophomore year. Bomar has created quite a high profile around the greater Oklahoma City area. He was a nationally recruited quarterback coming out of high school, and after multiple recruiting efforts, signed with Oklahoma. He redshirted his freshmen year and took over the starting job in the second game of his sophomore season.
Other than having a somewhat successful end of the season, Bomar did not make any headlines except in the criminal report section of The OU Daily.
The first thing that came to my mind when I was told Bomar was paid for work not performed: Maurice Clarett. How appropriate. A young talent with a big head. Someone who thinks they can take on the world. Well, Rhett, no pun intended, but your "party" stops here.
Thanks for the fun, thanks for the memories, and thanks for the heartache. C Ya Bomar.

Ya Baby.
