Oklahoma Football Player Picks Wrong Guy To Fight
Wow! boozing it up and picking a fight with a trained MME fighter is not good. This Sooner almost loses his eye over the incident

So you can look at a solo cup of beer, and tell if it's shitty beer?
February 24th, 2021 at 11:26 AM ^
Chances are fairly good that nobody is drinking a Guiness or <insert your preferred high end beer here> out of solo cup. Normally, one swills Bud/Bud Light/Miller Light and other such beers from a solo cup. And those are usually good choices in a college bar.
But your point stands - nobody can see what's actually in the cup. Dude could be sipping an iced latte!
February 24th, 2021 at 11:44 AM ^
I like how you think Guiness is a "high end beer".
February 24th, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
lol my first thought as well. though perhaps in Oklahoma it is...
February 24th, 2021 at 12:59 PM ^
Real Guiness from a tap is great beer.
February 24th, 2021 at 1:09 PM ^
When you get a taste from a pub in England or Ireland, let us know that you've reassessed your opinion. I will agree that canned/bottled Guiness in the US is not good...
February 24th, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
Guiness gives me the hershey squirts
February 24th, 2021 at 11:27 AM ^
Yes I can and especially if it looks like water. I live in Asheville, NC. The home of New Belgium/Sierra Nevada and 1000 more. We know our beer here
February 24th, 2021 at 11:52 AM ^
That's actually shitty beer.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:56 AM ^
1. New Belgium is founded and headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado. Sierra Nevada is from Chico, California. Both of them have opened a second facility in Asheville but saying they're "the home of..." is a hell of a stretch.
2. I'll play Beer Snob with the best of them. Since we're just talking visuals... "good" beer comes in a wide variety of appearances from very dark black to very pale golden. There are plenty of very high quality beers that would be visually indistinguishable from Bud Light.
February 24th, 2021 at 12:02 PM ^
Take Two Hearted for example. From a distance and on grainy videos, definitely will look like swill.
February 24th, 2021 at 1:14 PM ^
The best beer has a blue ribbon, right on the can. Why would they lie?
February 24th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
February 24th, 2021 at 12:31 PM ^
We know our beer here
You obviously don't...
February 24th, 2021 at 8:56 PM ^
New Belgium is from Fort Collins, CO and Sierra Nevada is from Chico, CA .... neither is from NC.
shows how much you know ......
February 24th, 2021 at 11:33 AM ^
I thought the best was when he asked his brother which one he wanted then proceeded to kick ass. But yes, urinal guy not spilling his drink is great!
February 24th, 2021 at 3:17 PM ^
yeah, this is my favorite part as well. If everything is true, that they had already backed away and one of them already got hit, it is pretty badass that when it finally "had" to happen, they basically toyed with them before kicking the shit out of them.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:58 AM ^
You get good at #3 in Norman or you get very thirsty.
February 24th, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
I love that his brother wrestles a guy into the back of someone using the urinal... that poor dude just wants to pee...
February 24th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
God bless that hobbit for chalking up a victory for all us 5'8"ers against those uppity 6'0" + types.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:06 AM ^
I'm 6'6" and I've never been in a fight as an adult so I wasn't aware this is (apparently?) a thing. Then I remembered the time I was standing at a bar waiting for a drink and a much shorter guy tried to start something when he said he recognized me from some place in Louisville (where I have never been) and I laughed. My bad I guess? I apologize on behalf of the tall douches out there.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:18 AM ^
I've found my height to be more of a useful deterrent to keep me from getting in a fight. I just look around for the dudes reasonable friends then shake my head and let them pull the guy away. This was, of course, from the time when I went to bars where fights might get started and I was always there with my other large mammal friends who also hated conflict and counted on being able to bluff/talk our way out of stupid situations.
For what its worth I've found the 5'8" guys to be the types more likely to start something.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:27 AM ^
Well put. I'm a burly 6'1" and approx. 240. I look big and tough but I can't fight for shit. But, I think people assume I can because no one has ever really tried to mess with me.
Anyone on campus in 2002, when a 160lb. wrestler beat up an NFL-bound tight end outside Rick's? Definitely don't mess with wrestlers or MMA types.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:32 AM ^
I don't think that should count. Jake Butt was only 7 years old at the time.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:44 AM ^
Words to live by. Don't EVER fuck with the wrestlers.
February 24th, 2021 at 2:53 PM ^
I'm 5'10 190lbs, former wrestler. My twenties were filled with bar fights. We enjoy them, so I agree with the "don't fuck with wrestlers". The thing is that wrestlers are not phased when hands start flying and the adrenaline starts flowing. They are used to it as a way of life, whereas most people either haven't been in a fight, or maybe this one time. When it starts going down a alot of time they freeze because it's an "oh shit' moment that they haven't been in before.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
It's totally not. My best friend is 6'5" and is the nicest dude ever. I was really just parodying short guy syndrome while also sympathizing with those like myself who are of average height.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:37 AM ^
Being only 5'5", I can confirm that many people (pretty much anyone taller than me) thinks they can intimidate me by size alone. Please... I've seen it all my life and am no longer phased by it. Granted, I keep myself out of sketchy situations pretty well - have never even been close to getting into a fight. I'd get my ass kicked pretty good (probably - I sure as hell wouldn't fight clean), but I'm not going to be intimidated by some dummass mouthbreather because he wants to jump a line, or whatever.
My point is not that I'm some kind of tough guy (I'm not!), but that taller people generally think they can intimidate/impress shorter people by just size alone. That's not always true, but we do always come to a quicker conclusion that you are a fucking asshole.
EDIT: I should add that the only people that impress me as an asshole for said reasons are the ones that actively try to jump lines, or talk a big game, or some other such assholish type behavior. I mean, they're already assholes. Most people - the vast majority, actually - are usually kind enough and pleasant when nobody else is being an asshole...
February 24th, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
Are you sure those "fucking assholes" aren't just regular fucking assholes who happen to be taller than you and aren't "using their height to try to intimidate you?"
February 24th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
After enduring a lifetime of it, I'm pretty sure I can recognize bullying when I encounter it. Also - nice job pulling out one sentence you don't like despite the others around it adding context. Thanks for your concern!
February 24th, 2021 at 12:02 PM ^
lol, fair enough, and the fact that I've only experienced it once is pretty good evidence for it being the exception.
I'm also very skinny/lanky, so I probably don't draw the "I'm gonna drop the biggest, toughest guy in the bar" attention some tall guys do.
February 24th, 2021 at 1:30 PM ^
Speaking of skinny/lanky, a YouTube rabbit hole one late night led me to this:

February 24th, 2021 at 4:44 PM ^
My friend had some issues over a few months where people he didn't know at various places were pissed at him and referring to him by name but not his name. He never figured it out but seemed he had some asshole doppelganger putting him in danger.
February 24th, 2021 at 4:58 PM ^
5'8 here. Haven't been in a fight since my late teens early 20s. The only time I ever felt the need to prove my toughness was on the basketball court. Guarding guys in the post, they always seem to try to get rough. I'm pretty stocky, so maybe that is why I've never felt the need to prove my toughness as it were.
I did have a buddy who was 5'6 or so and he would get drunk and constantly talk about how we should take some guys in a fight.
Point is, I think it is more dependent on how confident the person is in themselves, not so much a height thing. Plenty of tall bullies out there.
February 24th, 2021 at 2:16 PM ^
6'4" and 300 lbs when I played college football.
CONSTANTLY messed with at the bars by the little guys with something to prove.
Little man syndrome is real.
February 24th, 2021 at 3:17 PM ^
"Little man syndrome" is so overhyped. Of course, I say this as a little man.
But not all guys who are small and get into fights do it because they are small. Maybe, just maybe, they got provoked or in some other way are justified in fighting someone.
Are there guys who fight just to prove their toughness, despite their size? Sure. But to attribute "little man syndrome" to every small guy makes as much sense as saying that all big guys fight just because they're big.
February 24th, 2021 at 3:47 PM ^
As an example, I literally had JUST walked to the secondary bar with no one near me.
Ordered my drink.
Turned around and put my back against the bar and checked out the scene.
Little man saw me and made a beeline towards me and started shit with me he hopefully now regrets.
He had ZERO reason to fuck with me and (I am sure to his dismay) didn't enjoy the experience.
I am normally a "gentle giant" and don't cause trouble unless trouble finds me.
This story was not unique.
February 24th, 2021 at 3:49 PM ^
And if you don't like the term little, perhaps you prefer the psychological construct called the Napoleon Complex.
Overhyped? Perhaps.
Real? Yep.
February 24th, 2021 at 3:57 PM ^
The thing is about the construct is that Napoleon wasn’t that short for his time and he conquered all of Europe. Only his hubris in invading Russia is what finally stopped him,
His brain is what made him scary. A person with brains is far scarier than the toughest, most agile fighter. They’ll hit you before you hit them.
And by hit I mean in the Mafia sense.
February 24th, 2021 at 5:20 PM ^
Yep. Napoleon was measured 5'2" but that was in French feet, which were longer than British/US feet. In our feet he would be about 5'7" which was average for that time.
February 24th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
People think that the drinking and anger make them expert fighters. There is a specific skill set to fighting and drinking and anger impair one's ability to execute..no different than having some beers and thinking you can be Ray Lewis on a football field.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
Or Ray Lewis at the Cobalt Lounge.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
Good advice. More on that idea:

On-topic, not many things beat boxing for self defense. Thanks, OP, for posting.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:18 AM ^
I think you missed the real issue. People that are drinking excessively, aren't usually thinking.
February 24th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
Used to box and run in a circle of boxers, and that guy's look right before he started throwing punches was the "I gave you every opportunity to back off... now I get to have some fun" look that I used to see when my friends were in the same situation.
February 24th, 2021 at 12:21 PM ^
You know a guy is serious when he has his shoulders square to you and his head turned 90 degrees to talk to a friend.
February 24th, 2021 at 10:59 AM ^
This is all you need to know:
Though listed as a receiver, Jones has no career catches, but he did appear in every game as the team’s holder. He won the sarcastic Peter Mortell Holder of the Year Award in 2020.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:06 AM ^
I was going to say it looked like those OU guys were special teamers. Not a lot of size to them.
February 24th, 2021 at 2:24 PM ^
Not special enough in this instance.
February 24th, 2021 at 11:45 AM ^
"the team's holder"
