Has ESPN insider updated their depth chart?

That was pretty funny. But probably not appropriate.

Here is another link for a Tulsa newspaper with a transcript of the 911 call.

Man, the more I read about this, the more terrible I feel for the Sooner family.

Dude was a straight up leader, and meant a lot to that university.

I hope Stoops rallies his kids, and they end up winning the Big 12 and have a chance to win a National Championship.

Eh...

He had two arrests for public urination...

I know a guy who went to HS with him and knew him fairly well... basically said he was a gigantic dick bag.

It's sad for a 22 year old to pass, but I'm not overly shocked having heard what I've heard about him.

Hadn't heard of those. Not saying it's not true or anything.

Maybe the leadership I read about was more on the field. *shrug*

Yeah, I think he got a long with his teammates well.

He was a good player, who had injury troubles.

He probably matured from when my friend knew him.

I hate being a cynic like that, it was just one of those things that when I saw that news I wasn't really that shocked.

Thoughts and prayers for the player's teammates, friends and family.

BIG TIME Props to the guy who called 911... I know that must have been unnerving to go through - He handled himself VERY admirably.

ESPN reported he had 5 painkillers in his system when they did the autopsy.

Jesus man. Public urination. Give me a break.

2nd hand account from someone who knew him in HS.

Didn't he get injured a year or two ago vs Texas?

I think that was him. I know he had a history of getting injured.

He pissed on a bar window at Campus Corner in Norman and then pissed on a bar in downtown OKC.

Kid had major substance abuse issues. Obviously.

he may or may not have ingest 5 different painkillers.... he may have only ingested 3 or 4, but 5 different metabolite/drug derivatives showed up....

for example, hydrocodone is partially converted to hydromorphone during metabolism... that could explain why hydromorphone (dilaudid) showed up on his tox report....

however, given his history, it wouldn't surprise me if he did take that many at once, and could explain the OD, especially considering the guy's fitness level, muscle mass, etc., which makes it more unlikely for him to OD...
