If these guys could land Ramonce Taylor and all the other BCS thug cast offs they could win a national title.

If Bomar is suspended he will not be able to play at 1-AA or any other NCAA university. He could play at a NAIA college as Ramonce Taylor will (Texas College).

At one point Langston (OK) had the reputation of taking castoffs who either lacked the scholarship requirements or got themselves in trouble at NCAA schools. They turned out some decent teams and players for their classification. Hollywood Henderson was one such player.

If Rhett Bomar is as good a baseball player as they say, then I doubt that he will ever be in another football uniform.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if he ever plays against/for the OKC farm team.

Patterson interested in Bomar

By JEFF WILSON

Star-Telegram Staff Writer

TCU coach Gary Patterson said he would be interested in adding former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar to the Horned Frogs' roster , but conceded much needs to take place before Bomar could join another team.

"Who in the United States wouldn't be interested in Rhett Bomar as a player?" Patterson said. "We have question marks. You need to have patience in these situations.

"You'd like for him to come up and take a look at the place. We have a scholarship available, and we have an opening at quarterback."

Chad Huffman was expected to be the backup to senior starting quarterback Jeff Ballard this season as a junior, but left the team after being selected in the second round of the amateur draft by the San Diego Padres.

Next season, TCU will start a sophomore or redshirt freshman if the roster remains as is.

Bomar and his roommate, offensive lineman J.D. Quinn, were dismissed from the Sooners earlier this week after an internal investigation revealed they received excessive payments for their work at a Norman-area car dealership.

Each will have to repay the money they illegally received in the form of charitable donations, then apply for reinstatement from the NCAA.

Any player who transfers to another Division I-A team is required by the NCAA to sit out an academic year.

Bomar will have two years of eligibility remaining if his eligibility is restored by the NCAA.

But even if their eligibility is restored, that doesn't make Bomar and Quinn locks for TCU.

Patterson, who said he also has interest in Quinn, said more information is needed from Oklahoma and the NCAA.

Also, Bomar pleaded guilty to being a minor in possession of alcohol in March, and Quinn was arrested in November on suspicion of drunken driving.

Both were in good academic standing before their dismissals.

"With any young man that comes to TCU, it isn't what the head football coach thinks," Patterson said. "It's what the university thinks, starting with the chancellor."

Neither Bomar nor his father, Jerry, returned phone calls Friday, but Texas A&M-Commerce issued a release that said the football team has asked Oklahoma for permission to talk to Bomar about transferring.

Quinn's father, Jim, said his son would be interested in TCU. Jim Quinn played linebacker at TCU in the 1970s.

Defense starts strong

Seven-on-seven is a drill for the offense. Quarterbacks learn to read coverages and receivers refine their route-running.

But TCU's defense shined during the seven-on-seven portion of the Frogs' first practice of camp.

It's not usual at any school to find the defense ahead of the offense early in camp.

But the defense was proud of its performance, especially after showing only one coverage.

"Our goal is just to stop them, don't let them get too many yards," safety Marvin White said. "If we get an interception, it means we won. That's a big lift for us, knowing it's an offensive drill."

Let offer Quinn a ship. We need some OL with the recent injuries to some key players.

UNT should get the BCS cast offs....remember these are just 18-20 year olds with maybe one or two "youthful indiscriminations."

UNT wont have to worry about Bomar working 5 hours a week for $15,000 in Denton......

UNT athletics, just like just about every program, has had its share of dope dealers and DWI's (along with a couple of deaths). You hold up our QB Smith in such high esteem but forget that he had traces of marijuiana and booze in his system. You blow it off because he played for UNT but you wont let it go for other kids from other schools.

So............why not get these two guys from OU......Looks like we may be a little late....looks like Bomar and his roommate will end up at TCU.....Peterson knows talent and personality and the giving of a second chance to student players.
