Hager should respond as follows:

"I was made aware today that Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby has interpreted a Conference rule to mean that some of my comments in regards to the University of Oklahoma constitute a violation thereof. Further, the Commissioner stated that he expects a public apology. I decline to make such an apology. I neither regret nor apologize for my comments and will not retract or revise them. They reflect my opinion on the topic of Oklahoma and its football team and I am well within my rights to hold and share said opinion. 

I am hoping that in the near future, I will be asked my opinion of topics such as how the Big 12 conference responded to the student-athlete rape scandal at Baylor, or how it responds to the Southeastern Conference's attempts to manipulate bowl matchups in its favor, or the Big 12's inconsistent interpretation of unsportsmanlike conduct on and off the field. I will be glad to again trade a public reprimand for the opportunity to share my thoughts.

OK, cool. 

Hook 'em."

That is great.

Hager, Herman, CDC and the school need to take a hard stand on this.  No apology.  Bowlsby is gonna have to come stronger than "he is receiving a public reprimand and will be expected to issue a public apology" if he actually has the power to demand it.

This is so stupid.  He should definitely wear pigtails, sunglasses, and cowboy hat.  Walk up to the mike and say ... I’m sorry.  Ok cool, and give a hook’em as he walks off.

JFC. This is really over him saying OU still sucks?  OU doesn't even get mad at that.  Fuck apologizing. Part of being in a rivalry.  Taking all the fun out of it.  Shit is getting worse than the NFL.

Also, we shouldn't get so bent out of shape about horns down either.

I'm sure it's been said already but the Big 12 should be required to apologize to every school in the conference for the shitass officiating that kills these games week in and week out.

This is beautiful 

Gee, how many times was Baker Mayfield publicly reprimanded for being the petulant bitch he was/is towards ANY team, especially Texas?

It doesn't say when the apology has to be given. He should wait until after the last game and then make his statement, a verbose and colorful epic statement that matches his awesome personality. 

And yet Baylor has yet to issue an apology in public...

What's the OU boards say about this?  I'm sure most reasonable fans(fuck them anyways) would think this is stupid too.

Statement from Texas Football senior DL Breckyn Hager:

“I consider sportsmanship to be an essential part of the game I so truly love. I spoke with our athletics director Chris Del Conte and Coach Herman about what I said after Saturday’s game and understand why it reflected poorly on me and my team. I had no ill intentions when I made my comments about Oklahoma, which included a phrase that’s used by fans, but I have to realize that it’s different coming from me. My thought process was that it would put a fun and light-hearted charge into the greatest rivalry in college football that my family has been involved in playing in for many years, but I can see now that was not the way to do it. I have the utmost respect for the University of Oklahoma and their football program and know a number of players on their team, and I want to apologize to them. I want to represent myself, my family, my football program, my University, and the Big 12 Conference in the best possible way. I’m truly sorry for the comments I made, will learn from this, and will keep working to improve my ability to think about the ramifications of what I say before I say it.”

If OU loses to West Virginia, he should say, "I told you."

Good lord, I've changed my mind, give us OU in the Big 12 title so we can make Kyler cry again. What a bunch of pussies.

I just don't understand. Did he get the time wrong or something?

Well of course...but it doesn't matter since OU sucks no matter what time it is.

 

 

Feel like I lost a little respect for them for actually issuing an apology.

Edited by Drew

Are we now demanding apologies for stating verifiable facts?  That seems odd.  It can't be slander if it's true. 

It's in the Conference Handbook:

12.3.3 Sportmanship and Ethical Conduct - Violations - Comments About Other Members

Penalties include but not.limited to "reprimand, institutional fines, and suspension from practice or competetion."

If I'm reading 12.4 correctly, I believe OU had to file a complaint to the Big XII.  Which is pretty priceless in itself.

Right? If they are going to get Hager for that, the Sooners better be made to do nothing but kiss our ass in their press conferences.

Oh shit...if it actually comes out that OU went to the league office and filed a complaint, it's going to make destroying them in Dallas again so much sweeter.  Fuck OU.

Way to be the bigger man, Hager. Awesome leadership.

This was always my opinion.  How sweet will it be beating them twice in the same season?  Bring 'em on.  ou still sucks.

That’s the public version. Privately I would hope Bowlsby was given the Michael Corleone counter offer 

I'll put Hager's apology together tomorrow morning after a chorizo and egg taco and a few cups of coffee.

If this is true, this is really the headline of the whole thing. 

Did someone from OU really have to go for a formal complaint with the conference about hagar saying ou sucks?

I hope Hager pulls the smurf's head off and shakes his innards out like a dog with a teddy bear. Or something along those lines.

It doesn't necessarily say a complaint must be filed, but that's the only way of triggering a violation that they give.  I would think the Big12 office can be able to trigger a violation internally, but that's not expressed in the rules.

I'd rather they get curbstomped in Morgantown, Hager goes for 2 sacks and a FF against WVU and then makes another underhanded comment about how OU sucks too much to make the CCG.

Because it is the adult and responsible thing to do?

he should have ended with "in light of this I will be withholding all my comments about Baylor player rape schandals, TCU football player drug dealers, the beatings and holding of screwdrivers against women by Oklahoma players.  Furthermore,  WVU, OSU, and Tech I don't really care about enough to have a comment but will withhold comments anyway.  Additionally, I will make no comments regarding KSU, KU, ISU because they generally seem like good dudes.  Hook 'em."

Bowlsby comes off as a trembling, sandy-pussied buffoon in this deal.

Works for me.

If it was a guarantee the WVU curb stomped them then I would take it; however, I'm not worried about a team that we had a 21 point lead on with 10 minutes to go in the 4th. I could care less either way. This shit right here though is why the horns down needs to be a penalty and this is exactly what I was talking about when I said our players have their hands tied behind their backs and aren't allowed to do anything.

I'm in favor of everything being fair game, makes the game fun.

Lol because someone in the football office, probably bianco, wrote it for him.  I'm sure Hager didn't give a shit either way.

1. bullshit that hager penned that apology

2. time for an open records request to out those little meth bitches

Especially when you consider the trash talk on the field during Texas OU would be rated NC-17 if it was broadcast.

Hager didn't pen shit.

he got reprimanded for being awesome. that's really too bad.

hopefully, the national press gets ahold of this and scorns both ou for reporting it and the conference for enforcing it.

we get the horns down damn near every week, home or away, with no consequences. 

now, i don't think there should be consequences - it makes the whole thing a lot more fun. look at ballou's tweet: "see? rivalries can still be fun." 

that's how nearly everyone took that comment. it's a great football player comment. we don't want robots playing this game. we want our players to be passionate. right? i do, at least. 

keep on keeping on, breckyn. you're awesome.

This is what's comical.  Nobody at OU gets mad over that - especially if he prefaced it by talking about that dogshit D first.  What a fucking joke.
