It’s time we turn all Smoking Gun on everyone.
According to the Sterling College website, which hosts the picture above, the man on the right is Mike Beckett. Mike Beckett is the alias for Allen Michael Beckett, the same guy who allegedly ripped the scrotum of a poor Texas football fan. How do we know this? Because of websites like Google, Melissa Data and the Oklahoma County Assessor’s office…that’s how.
Now that we know what the scrotum-grabber looks like, here are some thoughts:
• When I first pictured Allen Michael Beckett, I pictured him as some crazy, meth addict looking dude with long hair and a white-trash goat-tee. I didn’t think he’d look and dress like the good old Dad from some 1990s sitcom. Now, after seeing his picture, and discovering that he has a wife, three kids and solid job, I hope he gets through this mess okay, and that the urge to rip the scrotum off some guy was just a one time, drunken thing.
• According to some message board rumors and public documents, Mike went to and possibly graduated from Oklahoma State University. That would be a shame, because the jump-to-conclusions square, called “the media,” has labeled Mike an OU fan. If that’s not the case, and Oklahoma State fans are tearing the scrotums of Texas fans, then everybody in this entire State needs to watch their back, or more accurately, their fronts.
• We may have to make an emergency addition to our Top 100 Oklahoma Embarrassments.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this case unfolds. Expect wall-to-wall coverage on this one.
1. Re-reading the article, I noticed that the Scrotal Assassin (which is how I will refer to him from now on) actually struck two months ago. I can’t believe news of this incident is just coming out today. Wasn’t there someone that witnessed the event that could have let us know that someone nearly got their balls ripped off at Henry Hudson’s? Come on people, that’s why we have an e-mail address. Well, that and for anyone who happens to snap a pic of Linda Cavanaugh at Skky Bar.
2. You have not lived until you’ve heard this incident being discussed by Jim Traber and Al Eschbach. I’m sure someone else heard it. Between Eschbach asking “What’s a scrotum” over and over and the two of them debating whether or not this means the Scrotal Assassin is gay, there is some serious comedy gold.
Excellent detective work guys. And by the way Smoking Gun is so yesterday.
Harvey and the gang have moved on to TMZ.com.
Jeff Pinson is full of c***. This guy is not an OSU alum. He is a grad of Sterling College in Kansas – look at the pic to verify. He took some classes at Langston (thus the Regents Lawsuit). He is an OU fan. Trust me. I really feel for him, his wife and daughters.
I’m pretty sure that his wife went to Sterling…
I take that back. It looks like they both went to Sterling. Maybe he went to grad school at OSU?
I’m a bit confused now. Big T does raise a good point about the Sterling picture. Perhaps it is The Lost Ogle’s news department that is not having a fine day. Checking on a few more things…
A search of the OSU alumni page turns up no employee by the name of Jeff Pinson. And I’m quite certain that an actual employee of any company wouldn’t be posting company database info on an internet message board. At least not if he wanted to keep his job. This site is the only reference anywhere on the net that this guy is an OSU alum.
Yeah, I was just looking for that information. I’m taking the update down altogether…
Although this is not the only place on the series of tubes saying he went to OSU.
Lauren is wrong. He took some classes at Langston which is a part of the Oklahoma State University system, but is most definitely not Oklahoma State University.
Can we get a link from Richard?
Looks like we had a someone posting erroneous comments under multiple identities. IP addresses are great!
Exactly what I suspected.
ou fans would try to say he went to osu. what a joke.
That dude’s wife works at Warr Acres library. I work with the scrotum ripper’s wife!

You feel for a guy who tried to rip the scrotum off of another man? What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Big T says:
I feel for them because this wasn’t worthy of the press coverage it got. He’s been called “the biggest moron in Oklahoma” by Traber and Eschbach. Although I don’t condone what he did, I have sympathy for both parties involved. I don’t believe the news story is accurately telling the sequence of events. I believe that Mr. Beckett was getting his a** kicked at the bar and went for the groin as a last ditch means to keep from getting himself killed.
I know the man and I feel sorry for him. If you think you need to attack me for this, then just don’t go to far and rip my scrotom off.
Instead of having to attack you, will you just leave your scrotum at the door and we’ll pick it up the next time we’re in town.
Thanks.
Here’s his side of the story:

Happy Scrotum Saturday gang! Keep this story alive….
Beckett looks to be all of the above: a moron, an antagonist and a liar trying to save his butt. A thick headed, sanctimonious bible beater for appearance and a nasty piece of work under the surface. Oklahoma crude.
I figure Beckett for a liar. Any scum who would grab another guy by the nuts and hold on, causing 60 stitches belongs in prison. He can have his own nuts grabbed there.
guess this story has went national. im from ga and read ajc.com daily. was shocked to see this today.

if this beckett guy doesnt make #1 on the embarresment list i will be shocked.
So I guess this story is back. The Big Lead posted about it today, so perhaps they should change their name to The Big Follow.
I’d be content if I never heard about this story again, frankly.
I read about this on MSNBC. They claim he’s a church deacon. Does anyone know which church?
Watch Fight Club… There is a deeper message there…
The guy wearing the Texas shirt, is actually from Oklahoma, Brian Thomas, I went to Jr. High and some of High School with him. He dropped out of HS…but I see him around town now and then. I can assure you, he’s the type of guy who deserved what happened.
