It would be too bad if Holmes misses an important game like this because he didn't take care of business in the classroom. All major universities now have extensive support for student-athletes, including mentoring, tutoring, help with time management, etc. There is just no excuse for this. You can't be a dummy and learn playbooks, the multiplicity of schemes he faces as a d-back, offensive tendencies, and all that. It just reflects a lack of effort and commitment to his responsibilities.

OU will be just fine. But I do hope Holmes is academically eligible to play. He's a starter for a reason. Although, Stoops and Company don't recruit bad athletes so I'm sure there is a future star waiting to shine. Knock some teeth out Franks, or, whoever gets in there!! Boomer Sooner!!!

From what I've seen in scrimmages and the little he's played, Franks should get the job done as long he can handle the mental side of things. He is definitely talented.
