Tramel: Striker's language 'Straight Outta Compton'

NORMAN — OU linebacker Eric Striker went on a profanity-laced tirade Saturday night on the Neyland Stadium grass, talking smack to Tennessee fans four days after questioning all the SEC football hype.

Monday night, the university issued a statement in which Striker apologized. But I'm betting Striker is a little confused.

The last time Striker dropped f-bombs all over the world wide web, OU made him a campus leader and eventually captain of the football team.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Sensibilities of some, no, many Sooner fans were offended by Striker and OU safety Hatari Byrd, who lived up to his name by flashing the middle-finger salute at Volunteer fans.
