(4/6) AD on early draft entry, Player dismissed and more
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles/Notes
Punter Freeby Dismissed from Team: Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops dismissed suspended punter Cody Freeby from the Sooners' football team Thursday night. "He has not lived up to his responsibilities or expectations with the team or academically," Stoops said. "He also hasn't followed through on the disciplinary measures that resulted in those areas." Freeby averaged 42.3 yards per punt as a sophomore last season, his first as the Sooners' starter. He was also the team's holder on placekicks. Backup Mike Knall, a junior college transfer, has never punted in a game for the Sooners. (AP/CNNSI)
Adrian speaks about the draft first time publicly: Peteson on entering NFL draft early: "I wouldn't say that," Peterson said Wednesday, addressing the issue for the first time. “Anything can happen. Injuries or whatever - God's will they don’t. "I'm not worried about that. I'm focused on this season and making a run back to the Big 12 championship and hopefully a chance for the national championship." And beyond that? "I could see myself being here," Peterson said. "I ain't even really been think-ing about that. Plus, we're playing Miami. "I'm looking forward to playing Miami, too." And Peterson isn't talking next January's Orange Bowl game. He's talking Sept. 8, 2007, in Norman, when the Hurricanes roll into Norman. "All the guys that have left early, they're all telling me, 'Stay as long as you can, stay as long as you can,'" Peterson said. "Because when you get to the next level, it’s all business."
