And the joke was in bad taste. But rest assured, there are NU fans here in Nebraska that like OU too. I will be routing for them to beat the snot out of the Gators! And I will be wearing my Oklahoma hat and my Nebraska sweatshirt while I’m watching. Boomer Sooner. And I am sorry for the others that hate. That is not good sportsmanship.

Your commentary on bulletin board subscribers couldn’t be anymore wrong. What is the difference between bulletin boards and this blog you operate. I can hide from other users under any name that I perfer and post whatever I please. Yes, you moderate it, but so do the better boards. The board I frequent had this nailed as a hoax within minutes. Tell me, what real damage was done to OU or the Oklahoman?

You say OU doesn’t like boards because it makes it difficult to run a “dignified” program, but it was on a bulletin board that the Big Red Auto scam was first uncovered.

How quickly we forget. Yes, Conradt was 100% wrong, but let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater. OU has more to worry about than some geek having a little fun. After all aren’t the wrestling, gymnastics, basketball and football program all under probation at this fine “dignified” athletic department?

This is Anonymous.

You’ve seemed to misunderstand the the reason for James Conradt’s action in what he did on the internets. What he did was all for the lulz. It is no different then what Anonymous has done in the past with everyday ordinary people like yourself. James Conradt is only guilty from being what is deep down inside all of us.

I enjoy the overwhelming majority of the stuff that you produce, however I have to disagree with your take on message board users. You shouldn’t be the only one able to post your opinion for the masses to read. Now, while I admit that the majority of those that frequent these boards come off with some seriously moronic ideas and opinions, there are those who are more responsible in what they post, and shouldn’t be lumped into the same category with everyone else.

Boomer!!

Get a grip…If it was that easy to ruin people, I’d have you committed by letting a psychiatrist read your post and have you committed for being an idiot. Not even the goofball that fabricated this hoax truly believed it would result in actually j-e-o-p-a-r-d-i-z-i-n-g (that’s how you spell jeopardy or in your dictionary jeoprody) anyone’s career. You probably want everyone to get trophies and to ban dodgeball.

Berry, I generally like your writing, but your “message board” video that I just watched was waaaay out of line. Lots of good people, including some of your colleagues, participate in such things as message boards, so I guess that makes them “part of the problem,” as defined by you. You should take that one back.

Sorry, it is the same thing. You just don’t like one of them and the First Amendment does not only protect speech that Brian approves. Both were clearly humorous and just because you don’t think it is funny, it is still protected speech. If we followed your thoughts about “free” speech, people could sue every comedian, every parody show (SNL, Dave Chappell, South Park) and every football fan that says anything that offends someone.

Go lookup the famous Hustler vs. Fallwell ruling.

This was obviously a joke and therefore protected speech thanks to our rather awesome Constitution. It is really sad how people are so willing to give up their freedoms these days.

Best they could do to this guys is get him on copyright infringement, which anyone that has ever recorded a football game is in equal violation of.
