This will likely make for an embarrassing Heisman Award Show, especially if this VPO has any validity.
I hope it’s a bogus situation. I can’t believe a star player, who has overcome two major injuries, would be so reckless in putting his team in such a potentially bad situation.

I was just thinking yesterday after reading about 2 Georgia players getting arrested Sat night that I hope none of OU's players do anything stupid and I hope this turns out to be nothing but damnit guys I am getting tired of the shennanigans.
Its getting beyond old.

Oh hell no. Payne County is poke country. Cleveland County is solid Crimson.
I think there is a big difference with being charged with a crime and a protection order.
From what I have read Rodney has had no charges brought against him.
Hope it stays that way.
Don't want to jinx it, but quite often charges aren't filed immediately. Sometimes evidence is collected and then the DA office files the charges rather than the po-po.
Well ..... I don't think people ought to make any judgment before he is charged.
And second, they should wait until Jan. 10 to file any charges.

Can you imagine the media firestorm if this was delayed for the sake of allowing a football player to play in championship games. While I hope there is not much to this, it is best for it to come out quickly and deal with it appropriately.
A natty along with some media persecution? Yes, please.
No natty along with some turmoil and indigestion? Barf.
Agree. If this is swept under the carpet to maintain Anderson's presence in the postseason, a media firestorm won't be undeserved.
Hopefully, it will have a good resolution for all concerned.
You assume the team is built around this one player. I would suggest, even though he has been great, the team will adjust if need be and still perform at a high level.
DO article quoted an unnamed source saying he won't play. Must mean charges will be involved. Hope not. If you think Rodney wouldn't be missed think again. His play was huge down the stretch. None of the other RBs have the skills Rodney possess.
It would be a loss, not a huge loss. I still think Adams can be a stud but the coaches lost trust in him after a big fumble and a couple of missed blocking assignments. Anderson got hot in the middle of the season and it was kind of hard to pull a guy who was just tearing it up like that. Maybe this situation turns out to be nothing, maybe I'm wrong. I'm definitely not going to lose any sleep over it. Our offense is not just built around one guy
If OU losses a close game to either Georgia or the winner of the Alabama-Clemson game, it could be said that Anderson's absence was a key to OU's loss. As good as Adams and Sermon have been, Anderson is clearly superior.
OU will be fine if Anderson can't play. Adams doesn't have the power of Anderson or Sermon, but he has the most speed and shiftiness of the two. Sermon finally looks 100% healthy and is once again showing how hard it is to bring him down (looks like a typical Alabama back). We also have Sutton, although I think the game is still too fast for him right now as he seems to just run full speed blindfolded without seeing the entire field. Once the game slows down for him, he should be a force.
Another benefit is that this happened now and not days before the Georgia game so the players will get more reps if needed to be ready.

If OU loses a close game, I'm sure fingers can be pointed to the defense, special teams, poor blocking up front, turnovers, etc.... OU has too many weapons on offense for this to affect them too much. The first few games, I felt Anderson was the 3rd best back, behind Adams and Sermon so hopefully if Anderson can't play, Adams and Sermon will step up.
Agree somewhat, but with OU, it's often the case where the offense bails out the defense.
Wow. If this is true not only is he done for college but also for the NFL. Smh. What are people thinking??
