Bravo! No more Jarboe for Sooners

I'm standing while typing this, so consider it a writer's rendition of a standing ovation.

Presumably, this standing "O” is for Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops.

The impact of Jarboe's loss
Even though he was one of the top wide receiver recruits in the nation, Josh Jarboe probably would have had little impact on the outcome of this season.

That's because the Sooners already have starting senior wideouts Juaquin Iglesias (left) and Manuel Johnson, and senior Quentin Chaney and redshirt freshman Ryan Broyles are also vying for playing time.

But with so many receivers graduating after this season, Jarboe would have had a chance to be an impact player next year.

To replace him, freshmen Jameel Owens and Dejuan Miller need to live up to their billing.
