HuskerfaninOkieland Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This is HUGE news up here in OKC. OU players arrested on cocaine charges OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The father of an Oklahoma quarterback says he plans legal action against a Nebraska football fan who posted a bogus story on an Internet message board claiming two Sooners had been arrested on cocaine distribution charges. James W. Conradt, a Nebraska football fan living in Austin, Texas, said he did not mean to hurt Oklahoma quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Landry Jones with his Internet hoax, according to a story posted on The Oklahomans' Web site late Wednesday.

Axl_sued_me Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Not a good idea, should of know better. C'mon. It's the internet and was just a joke. I wonder if there will be a desperate lawyer that will take this case. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 No...a joke would be someone saying OU players wear pink polka dotted thongs during a game....that's a joke. Accusing someone of cocaine distribution using a template to mimic a newspaper (Daily Oklahoman) and posting it on the internet isn't. Quote Link to comment

Accusing someone of cocaine distribution using a template to mimic a newspaper (Daily Oklahoman) and posting it on the internet isn't. They posted on a message board. Not exactly a reliable place to look for FACTS and NEWS. But I'm not saying whether this is right or wrong. But filing a lawsuit is going overboard. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 You're right...he did post it on a message board. However, the guy used a template to create a newspaper article in an apparent attempt to make it seem as if it were true. Joke or not, it was in extremely bad taste IMO. Quote Link to comment
bbhusker Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Our apologies from the rest of us real Husker fans. There are always a few who make the rest of us look bad. Obviously not a true fan. Quote Link to comment

But will you agree that a lawsuit would be rediculous?? Our apologies from the rest of us real Husker fans. There are always a few who make the rest of us look bad. Obviously not a true fan. Please don't go holier than thou. A fan is a fan. We are not all robots. Quote Link to comment

But will you agree that a lawsuit would be rediculous?? Can't answer that (and I never advocated the idea of a lawsuit to begin with) because I don't know everthing that was said in the original posting. If the guy put a statement in there saying something to the effect it was a joke, I'd probably agree a lawsuit is ridiculous. But if the guy did in fact attempt to pass it off as fact and only admitted it was a joke after being caught, then I'd probably sue him and make him give up his Husker Fan membership card and force him to become a lifelong Baylor fan.
