Originally, this was going to be long eloquent post about how Adron Tennell is the worst football player in the Bob Stoops era to get significant playing time. I was going to write about how he’s worse than Kejuan Jones, worse than Chijioke Onyenegecha, and even worse than the Horse Pigs.
After that, I was then going to segue into how Adron Tennell epitomizes what’s wrong with the current state of OU football. It seems like OU’s putting players on the field based more on recruiting hype and 40 times rather than if they can actually play football. Take Adron, for example. He’s seemed to drop more passes than he’s caught, and when he’s in the end zone, his hands turn into large cement blocks. Would a terrible, flaky and undisciplined player like Adron suit up for Stoops in 1999? No way. They would have trotted out a high school walk-on before a player like Adron.
Anyway, I decided not to write all that because Adron is a 22-year-old amateur athlete receiving a full ride scholarship and is immune to criticism. Instead, I figured I would just post a video of Mr. Bucky LaGrange playing 2nd base. When I watch Adron play football, I feel like I’m watching Bucky play baseball. Only Bucky is fictional and a cartoon. When I watch an OU football game, I kind of wish Adron was, too.














Jenni Carlson would be proud of you. Or ashamed. I’m not sure which.
But either way, good job on channeling your inner Jenni…
Yeah, I do think college athletes should be spared hardcore criticism, ala not a good football player. They are getting a full ride, but that is a far cry from a pro earning millions with an agent who if they drop passes are fair game. Plus if you are going to start making fictional players, you better make a boatload to handle all the other dropped passes, missed field goals, can’t remember the snap counts, holding calls, missed blocks, etc. On a side note, Tennell and the other receivers should look into stickem, sticky gloves, duct tape, super glue, velcro, anything….but I don’t mean that as a criticism.
An OU fan throwing a player under the bus? No, couldn’t be.
I remember when Chijioke Onyenegecha signed with OU and James the felon Hale said he was ready for the NFL then before he even enrolled at OU.
