Oklahoma State's Jamie Blatnick Offers Former Teammate Steve Denning A Beer...
Steve Denning also managed to get himself tazed by Stilwater's finest as he sought to continue the fight with Blatnick while wading through a half dozen cops.

An Oklahoma State University football player has been charged with felony aggravated assault and battery stemming from a fight early Saturday in Stillwater, police said. Jamie Blatnick, a junior defensive end from Celina, Texas, is accused of hitting Stephen Denning, a former OSU player, with a beer bottle in the face during a fight at J.R. Murphy's, located at 306 S. Washington St.
Our good friends at Pokelahoma opine and make the excellent point that Gundy's history of neglecting discipline on star players (Pettigrew) while enforcing on scrubs undermines his leadership.
I bring this story up for a few reasons:
1. Cool pic, bro
2. Fight! Fight! Fight!
3. Jamie Blatnick was hand-selected by Mike Gundy as one of his three player representatives for Big 12 Media Days just five days earlier.
Oh.
4. Blatnick's interview clip above answers the question: what if you put a Gumbel brother on steroids?
5. Bob Stoops on speed dial. Interrogative: "How did you make this work with Dvoracek?"
6. Blatnick was a starting DE on a Cowboys defense that looks to be miserable in 2010. My prediction of 6-6 for the Cowboys may be kind and I'm seeing real potential for the beginnings of a snowballing maelstrom that will culminate in 4-8 and an exquisite T Boone t-boning.
7. I waded through a thread on OrangePower.com and if you'd like to lose 29 IQ points as I did ("I don' see no big deal, fights is gonna happen! I like this Blatnick, he 'gressive!"), you'll glean that Blatnick appeared to have thrown the bottle across the bar to hit Denning all up in his eye, which is, morality judgements aside, a really fantastic throw. Stephen Strasburg, IMO.
Leadership vacuum + self-tanner + impatient aged billionaire + disappointing season = flaming locomotive hurtling off of cliff into pool of stinging porpoises
I now officially declare GundyWatch on Barking Carnival.

They should just have Saturday night showdowns at some podunk town in trailer land for the scrubs of the Cowboys and land thieves

Somewhere in Key West Florida, Mike Leach is adding T. Boone to his speed dial.

I don’t think 6-6 will get him shit canned but combine all this offseason crap with 4-8 and Gundy’s gone. If he does survive this year I doubt he will be able to stand the pressure he’ll get next season. Really only a matter of time before Boone starts throwing money at people.
The fact that Victor Johnson still hasn’t been suspended for getting arrested twice this off season shows how much the pressure is getting to Gundy. VJ’s DUI was 6 weeks ago. All this embarrassment and no titles isn’t worth it.

The beautiful thing for OSU is that you’ve got some big time young talent in the pipeline. A firing this year or next will see the new head coach rewarded with some real athletes to work with. It won’t be a bare cupboard.

What will be the more interest story in the Big 12 South this season:
A&M’s inability to get an opposing offense off the field with its new and improved 3-4 defense?
Tech’s inability to get its offensive linemen out of three point stance?
OSU’s inexperienced offense trying to execute the Leach-lite playbook?

I’m calling BS. Scipio must be inflating the facts.
There is no way someone on an OSU message board used an apostrophe to take the place of the letter a in the word aggressive.

Hate to say it but Orangepower is actually the best option if you’re looking for OSU message boards.

Sugarpants, Bill Murray’s self amusement at the joke really sells it for me. By far the best part of that movie.
I’m no medical Dr., but that nose appears like it might be fractured.
I don’t want to see Leach with that talent Scipio alluded to.

He’ll be back in the line up before they play A&M on Sept 30th. Book it.

Herschel Sims goes 1000 rushing and 1000 receiving under Leach.

I would give Leach 3 weeks before he told T-Boone to fuck off and we never saw his body again.

Give OSU all the “talent” you want and people will still call them “up and comers” and “just about to get over the hump.”
70 years of a “team on the rise” isn’t necessarily a ringing endorsement of future success.

And to think people have been questioning the toughness of OSU. Nothing says tough like tossing a beer bottle across a bar and hitting someone in the face.
Impressive accuracy for a DE though.

Is it just me, or is the police photographer in Stillwater taking art classes on the side?
Masterful framing and composition—Irving Penn does “Midnight Cowboy”.

Had someone ever infused 250 million dollars into their athletic program during the prior 70?

Is that a picture of the DE Blatnick? If so, I think I understand OSU’s failings. He looks nothing like Orakpo, Von Miller, Kindle, or Beal. He looks like he should be playing IM softball or something else instead.

Some asshole hit me in the face with a beer bottle once. Getting a nosebleed when you haven’t been hit on the nose isn’t the best experience.

That $250 mil is a silk hat. How many wins over OU and Texas has it brought them?

Try reading the words instead of just looking at the pictures, UT-06.

AP:
“Police say witnesses told them Blatnick started the fight early Saturday by hitting Stephen Denning in the face with a beer bottle.
School spokesman Kevin Klintworth says the university is still gathering information and had no comment.”.
Felony aggravated assault and battery most likely means jail time. A fractured orbital socket is serious. It is amusing that the “university is still gathering info” and, apparently has not yet suspended the assailant. Pretty good chance Blatnick does not play this season. Roid rage, is my SWAG.

In defense of the $250 million “silk hat” It has only been finished for a year. Recruiting is improving with it. Will be ever regularly be ahead of OU or UT? No but we should be able to come out on top occasionally.

Iba. So, the occasional win (what’s that, 1-2x every 10 years?) … is that worth $250 mil?
And what’s the real amount now that Pickens’ hedge fund where he had the money went tits-up?

If you’ve seen an interview with Dez Brryant, you know that Gumby gave up on the “student” part of “student-athlete” a long time ago. Dear Lord. The guy is marginally retarded yet was eligible at osu for 3+ years.

Scipio,
A quarter of a billion dollars…and OSU is still the only Big 12 team without an indoor practice facility. But, wait, there’s more!
ponderos,
When the oil bubble burst, Boone was suffering his second straight fuck up. First, he shorted oil when it ended up peaking around 100-110 a barrel. Then, he went long on oil and gasoline prices dropped to a buck-fifty as international demand tanked. That hedge fund was EMPTY by the end of 2008. Bank of America forced the liquidation of the fund to ensure they were paid. (For those of you who forgot, instead of paying for their improvements up front, OSU borrowed 200 million from BofA against the hedge fund) That’s why T-Boone had to give an extra $63 million. The fund lost 60% of its value (was around 340-350 million), and it was down to 137 million. T Boone donated the rest so BofA was covered and OSU wasn’t having to pay a million a month in interest.
The athletic village is on indefinite hold, and there’s no timeframe for breaking ground on a IPF.
