DURANT, OK -- Suspended SOSU quarterback Justin Pitrucha was in the courtroom Thursday morning and was sentenced following drug charges.

Just weeks before the Savage Storm takes the field for their first game of the season, their former first string quarterback was sentenced to eleven months in the Bryan County Jail for misdemeanor possession of marijuana. However, that jail time was suspended, meaning Pitrucha will only be put on probation. Pitrucha and four others were arrested when officers broke up a party at the 1300 block of North 2nd street in Durant on April 22, 2008.

So what!!! if the kid can throw the damn ball and put it in the end zone then who gives a crap. It wasn't heroin or crack. Maybe the coach should have been tougher and laid down the law to scare these kids..... in the words of the houston fans in bad news bears.... "LET THEM PLAY" "LET THEM PLAY" "LET THEM PLAY" The kid can ball on the Gridiron and the Diamond.

I myself like to smoke pot but haven't for a couple of years now because of my career. I do believe that my job is more important than getting high. But there is a documentary that is called 'American Drug War: The Last White Hope that i think everyone in these comments should watch, smokers and non-smokers. I just saw it for the 1st time the other day on Encore or some other movie channel, but i thought it was a very interesting and thought provoking film. If you don't get the movie channels; rent it. And you'll see how much the Government makes off the so called drug war and also how much the government has a part on getting the drugs into the U.S.

Tommy in Sherman- you want to smoke some weed? No problem- I have some weeds in my yard that need removing. Get all you want & knock yourself out trying to get high on weeds. Silly wabbit........whadda maroon.

Whats wrong with smoking weed ? Its safer than drinking!!!!!

Okay, so cops, ballplayers, politicians, wealthy people's children, and celebritie are immune to jail time for drugs who does that leave ??the list is dwindling . But prison population in increasing...watch out poor people, you dont stand a chance.

I have to say after reading the comments, I have to put my 2 cents in... I have smoked pot in my younger years as I'm sure alot of have, but prolly wont admit. I choose to quit after having my first child, my choice, I don't want my kids to smoke it (things are alot different now) they could a hold of something bad these days! I'm not a bad person, nor was I then! But yes it was/is against the Law and I would have had to pay the piper if I had gotten caught! I guess what I'm trying to say is IF you smoke it than that is your choice, but be prepared to pay if you get caught. And if you don't well good I'm glad. But it doesn't make anyone a lessor person because they do, just because you don't! Personal use to each there own, just don't sell it to our youth! That is a different story.

Biffco and Tommy C., I guess the other 98% of the people commenting on this site are just brainwashed and crazy, and you two know everything. No one is trying to be mean to you, they just know what getting caught with marijuana can cost you. Is your "toke" on the weekends worth possibly loosing your job, home, family, or freedom?I don't see how getting high could be worth it. If you get caught with marijuana, it IS against the law, and you will be charged with a crime. If you get drug tested at work,and you have Marijuana in your system, you will get fired. I feel sorry for anyone who cuts down the D.A.R.E. programs and other programs that are trying to keep our youth out of trouble and Drug Free. I've never heard of a program coming around to our schools saying "PLEASE HAVE A TOKE ON THE WEEKENDS,IT'LL MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON". I don't think the millions of people who are for these programs are wrong and you two jokers are right. Sorry, I stand up for the Drug Free Programs!
Posted by: Biffco Location: The heart of the matter on Aug 11, 2008 at 09:42 AM
TommyC. Cut the folks on this board a little slack. You have to remember that people like you and me upset long held beliefs by most of them. They have been absolutely convinced (through government propaganda programs such as D.A.R.E. and commercials by the Partnership For Drug Free America (a lobbying arm of the adult beverage industry BTW)) that anyone who has ever smoked pot is a loser burnout who will never amount to anything, is a drain on our society, and a danger to our children. They simply cannot conceive of a productive, family-oriented, tax-paying pot smoker. The idea that a pot smoker is not automatically a bad person worthy of derision and arrest causes the mental equivalent of vapor lock in most of these folks and they react with anger and fear that manifests itself in name-calling and belittling. Present your ideas and post reactions. But don't lower yourself to their level. Most people fear change and we rock their narrow worldview.

You are right Mom, I shouldn't have called your kids ugly. I sincerely apologize. Sometimes, when arguing with immature people, I allow myself to pulled down to their level(name calling, arguing etc.). It is something I have worked hard not to do, but my emotions got the best of me when I read the horrible things you and others wrote. Going back to the original subject, I think the QB got the punishment he deserved. Other than that, I wish no ill-will on anyone, including Mork. Even though he offered me a tic tac, because we all know what that leads to...BAD TEETH!
Posted by: Guess who? Location: Rehab on Aug 11, 2008 at 06:28 AM
You got me Mork. Since I graduated in 1989, I am only entering my 20th year of my career, not my 25th. Thanks for keeping me honest!

Last post, and I'll stop chewing your ear off- I have no problem whatsoever with the drug laws, and if you do, well, that's your problem. The subject of this thread messed his college career up by getting caught with stuff he should never have had. Now, will he allow this to get in the way of his future, or will he get psat this and start making some good choices? I hope for the latter.
Posted by: midniteryder Location: Sherman on Aug 11, 2008 at 02:13 AM
Oh yes, one more thing Biffie me boy- I don't personally despise you, but I DO disagree strongly with your opinions on marijuana. I can't say as I have personally tried the stuff (truthfully, I never did, so I can't even say I never inhaled, lol), nor do I want to. I don't want my teenage sons trying it either- you may call that ignorant and interfering with their rights to make choices, I call it good parenting. If they do, I won't love them any less, but I will ask them what they think. I will also tell them that most decent places of employment (oh BTW, how do you pass drug tests- don't you know THC can stay in the system for up to 4 weeks? Certainly you aren't high on the job- if you are, I'm glad you aren't doing any work for me) will have mandatory drug tests done, and any positives for THC will be a major blow. Feel free to attack those companies (most of them do so) if you wish. I don't see the need for something to alter consciousness, as I'm alive & quite aware without it
Posted by: midniteryder Location: Sherman on Aug 11, 2008 at 01:53 AM
Boffco, not to make you look bad (not that it woukd be that difficult), but I'm a middle-aged father of four and grandfather of one, with two college degrees wi=orking in the healthcare industry and making a nice coin, thank you. The rest of what you brag about means jack to me- I own my own home, cars, etc., and don't brag about it. I'll add arrogant to your distinguished resume, as well as pothead. Don't like it? I'll say it again- pothead. It is what it is. Been around the world? After a few bong hits, I imagine you've been to the moon & back (lol). But please, keep posting- each time you do so, you belittle yourself, and make me laugh. I neither hate you nor fear you, online or in person. Pity you, yes, but not hate or fear. Try to have a nice day- preferrably clean & sober.

After reading Biffco's comments I couldn't resist coming clean. My name is Mork and I'm an alcoholic. I live in a trailer house (double wide thank you very much) & I work at a quick mart (because I can't spell convienance store) when I'm not drawing a government check. I made enough to purchase a computer where I can sit all day and hang out at the KXII forum. I love this place. The internet is great aye Biffco? We can be anyone we want too. People crack me up - how bout you? Anyone want a tic tac?
Posted by: anon Location: oklahoma on Aug 10, 2008 at 08:31 PM
Tommy C. and Biffco, You are so full of Crap. By the way, Pitrucha got the punishment he deserved, and if either of you ever get drug tested at your wonderful jobs, you will too. I'm sure you will have some sort of know it all response that will make it o.k. to smoke pot anyway. Please spare me!
Posted by: Biffco Location: Leaving the building on Aug 10, 2008 at 08:15 PM
Last word from me, and I'm sure everybody's grateful for that. I am NOT encouraging drug use. I don't know where some of you got that idea. The decision to use any mind-altering substance to relax, gain insight into the nature of life, or to help you fall asleep (ambien, anyone?) should be an adult decision made after a cogent understand of the effects, both long and short term, are considered. The drugs are not responsible for the irresponsible behavior of taking a drug without fully understanding how it is going to affect you. If you don't want to smoke pot, that's great! I will think no less of you for it. Some people don't like it, and that's cool. What I have issue with is that you want to push your beliefs on me. That you see justification in harshly punishing me because you disagree with the method I use (used to use, anyway) to alter my consciousness. Because you fear me, because you don't (don't want to) understand me. I'm not your enemy. Why can't you see that?
Posted by: mom Location: pottsboro on Aug 10, 2008 at 07:09 PM
Tommy C., your comments in no way made ME think any better of you as a person, and I don't appreciate you calling any children, "YOUR UGLY KIDS"! You have the attitude of most drug users. They don't want to admit they are doing anything wrong, and anyone who is against drug use is just narrow minded, stupid people. Well, I don't see anyone else on this site calling CHILDREN names. Only one of the professed pot smokers! You are such wonderful, kind members of our community. We don't need you to tell us your life story, and how often you use pot, and why you use it. Your comment on the way you feel about our communities children pretty much sums up WHAT YOU REALLY ARE!

Midniteryder, Hate to disappoint you, but I'm a married, middle-aged father of three that holds a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering and am currently entering my 25th year of a high tech career that has taken me all over the world and exposed me to many different peoples and cultures (and made me a s**tload of money). I own my own home and both of my cars outright. I am healthy, fit, and fulfilled. Please note that in every overly-verbose post I have made to this board, I have not once called a single person bashing me a belittling name, or made a judgment about their lifestyle or their beliefs. It's personal policy of mine not to engage in name calling. It says bad things about your character to call names. It's so elementary school, ya know? But for you my friend, I will make an exception, You are a thundering moron for thinking I would EVER work in a convenience store. Don't you know how DANGEROUS that is?? I choose life!! Ja bless!
Posted by: Biffco Location: nowhere special on Aug 10, 2008 at 05:57 PM
Hater, I'm awfully sorry about your cousin, but the pot didn't kill her. If it had been legal and sold by respectable merchants at the time, she probably wouldn't have been exposed to the harder stuff that eventually killed her. After all you can't get cocaine or heroin at a liquor store. The "gateway effect" you allude to wouldn't exist if pot were legal. Dealers don't card. Mom, as long as your kids are reading my posts, I have a message for them: Avoid doing drugs whenever possible. And I mean all drugs, legal and illegal. This includes: alcohol (the most devastating), nicotine (the deadliest), sugar, caffeine, cocaine, the opiate family, methamphetamine, Ritalin (pharmaceutical amphetamine), energy drinks, and yes, THC9 and CBN, the active ingredients in cannabis (marijuana). Your brain is is still actively developing until you are about 22 years old and you owe it to yourself to allow it to develop to its full potential. Chemicals will only hinder the process. Ja Bless.
Posted by: Tommy C. Location: Sherman on Aug 10, 2008 at 03:16 PM
Wow, you people amaze me. I'm sorry to inform you, but the very narrow minded view you take on me is entirely wrong. I'm not a druggie, and I don't get high every day! I'm not pushing my beliefs on you or your children either. Pot is the only "drug" I use, not counting blood pressure and the like. I have raised four children, with one starting Austin College in the fall. I almost have my house paid for and have been at my job with a spotless record for over 27 years. I've never been to jail and I hardly ever touch alcohol. I have a wife whom I am happily married to, but she doesn't smoke. I do it by myself, or occasionally with a friend. I merely pointed out that the laws concerning MJ are antiquated, to say the least. I myself enjoy a little toke on weekends, just to relax a little. I'm not selling to, buying from, nor pushing, this "dangerous" little weed on YOU, your ugly kids, or anyone else on the face of the planet. Thank God for open minded people! PEACE

Ever notice how people will defend someone even when he admits to his own guilt? How pathetic...I suppose misery loves company! I for one applaud the SOSU staff for NOT letting the young man play.. He needs help. Drug pushers and users are complete losers and this young man is no exception. Talent does not make up for doing what is right.

No, Biffo, your comments don't make me think, they make me laugh. Ignorance posted by addle-brained nitwits like you tend to do that. But please, keep posting. After you make your next munchie run, please post some more. Humor is also one of God's gifts, and you're sharing this gift so well. And ya wonder why it's called "dope"........lol.......that convenience store job must pay really well for you to buy all that weed.
Posted by: Hater Location: texas on Aug 9, 2008 at 08:14 PM
I have commented on this story several times, and with good reason. I had a cousin who had a promising life ahead of her, she was a beautiful young lady with a Scholarship to OU. She started of with Pot and quickly worked her way up to the hard stuff. She overdosed at the age of 27 and left behind two young children. After she died, they had to do paternity tests on five men to find out who the father was to one of her children. Why? Because she was so High at the time she got pregnant, she had no idea who the father was. I wonder how many Mr. Puffs, Biffco's, Tommy C's, etc. she came across before she got addicted to drugs and ruined her life as well as her children's? It's ok to use drugs, if you don't you're a "Hater", you think you're better than I am, We're losing the war on drugs, so why not join in? You people make me sick! If I ever caught one of you talking to one of my kids, it would take an act of Congress to remove my foot from your a**!
Posted by: Mark Location: Durant on Aug 9, 2008 at 07:32 PM
Biffco, Mr. Puff, and Tommy C, if you three are advocates for legalizing pot, then why don't you go down to the police station and light one up and stand up for your rights to smoke pot. You won't do it because youre gutless! As far as I am concerned the law against pot works for me! Back in school, it was always the burnouts and the kids that like to sleep in class were always the ones talking about getting high. If you want to live that lifestyle fine, but keep your poison to yourself! Youre just as dangerous as the sellers!
Posted by: concerned parent Location: texas on Aug 9, 2008 at 06:53 PM
I for one, am letting my children read the responses by people like Mr. Puff and Biffco. I want them to know how drug dealers and users will try to make it sound ok to use drugs. Some will even go so far as to pull out the Bible to prove it is ok to use drugs; while others will make it sound like you're just boring or think you're better than everyone else if you don't use drugs. I hope every parent lets their children read these responses, so they see just how far drug users will go to talk other people into using as well.
Posted by: Tommy C. Location: Sherman on Aug 9, 2008 at 06:42 PM
Wow Biffco, they want you to get cancer!?!? Some people are very narrow minded, especially on here. Where does it say, other than man's antiquated, stupid law, that a person shouldn't smoke weed? What's the big deal? Just cause it's illegal? It's also illegal to ride in the left hand lane on the highway, without passing someone, but people do it every day. Turnig/changing lanes without a signal is illegal, what about that? I bet some of you old fogies on here complaing do all that. Oh yeah, I hate left lane squatters!
Posted by: mom Location: pottsboro on Aug 9, 2008 at 06:26 PM
Mr. Puff, I guess if I was high all the time, I would not care about the importance of Drug Laws either. Sounds like you are the hater to me. You think people who don't like drug abusers are "High and Mighty", and that "no one likes them" simply because they don't believe in drug use. Most people do get frustrated with people like you who think it's ok to go through life High. My children participate in programs every year at school that preach AGAINST Drug Use. I'll be honest, I don't like people like you who preach it's OK to use drugs and that you are a "HATER" if you don't, and that you see love in people who smoke dope and hate in people who are against it. I would not want one of my children to carry on a conversation with you. You are the type of person these drug programs are telling our kids to stay away from! I must say with all honesty, I DON"T LIKE PEOPLE WHO SELL AND USE DRUGS, AND I NEVER WILL! CALL ME A "HATER" IF YOU MUST!

Posted by: Tired of BIFFCO Location: DON'T DO DRUGS on Aug 9, 2008 at 04:03 PM
Biffco, you need to get a life, job, girlfriend, or something. Maybe you need to get off of the computer and go out and water your pot crop. Please, put out your joint, open up some windows, and sober up. As far as your posts go, they have made me think. I think you're a nut.
Posted by: Biffco Location: A Poison Ivy Patch on Aug 9, 2008 at 02:55 PM
Wow, I got people on here wishing cancer on me, calling me a moron, and generally belittling me because they disagree with my stand on certain political/social issues. Well, I have nothing but the utmost respect and love for all of you. My deepest wish is that all of you can learn how to transcend your anger and grow as people. And yes, Midniteryder, I believe that poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and yes, even ragweed, have a place in God's greater plan. Not everybody has bad reactions to these plants. Maybe God's trying to tell you something if you do, huh? I am so pleased that my posts amuse you. As long as they are also making you think, they are worth the trouble to compose
Posted by: Biffco Location: The Solar System on Aug 9, 2008 at 02:38 PM
I don't think anybody should play football. I believe it is a metaphor for war and promotes violence. Frustrated fathers pushing their sons to fulfill their own unrealized dreams and living vicariously through their children. I think this kid's bad attitude has more to do with the fact that he was worshiped as a football player than anything else. The pot probably made him a better person. Just so's ya know, I don't smoke pot. Haven't for years. But I still think of myself as a "stoner." Ya see, it's a state of mind, not the result of an action. Some of nicest, most caring, giving, and honest people I have ever known were "stoners." But christian conservatives judge, persecute, and lead us to war (4000 dead and counting). FYI, Ja is the Rastafarian word for "God." Rail on me all you want. I'm a big boy, I can take it. Got a good career, loving family, my music, and my health. Just trying to leave the world a better place than how I found it... Ja bless
Posted by: Biffco Location: Denison (with one "n") on Aug 9, 2008 at 02:26 PM
My comments have been misinterpreted. The point I was trying to make by referencing slavery and voting rights is simply that legal does not equal moral and illegal does not equal immoral. Some laws are unjust an need to be changed. The political/legal system of this country was designed to be changeable when circumstances warrant the change. In light of the fact that the 35-year old "war on drugs" is not working (drugs are as cheap and available as ever) and America has the highest incarceration rate in the world as a result of the WOD, I just believe that it's time we re-think and discuss our approach to cannabis prohibition with an open mind and lucid arguments. If consumption of a substance becomes a problem, it should be treated as a social issue, not a criminal one. Why are you so eager to strip me of my civil rights, take my children and all I own, and put me in a cage simply because I prefer pot over beer? and BTW, to all the name callers... Sticks and Stones...

BIFFCO, this is my last response to you, you simply don't have a brain left from all of your weed smoking, and there is no sense arguing with you! STOP trying to twist the BIBLE around to fit your own liberal AGENDA! Anyone who can twist these verses from the BIBLE around in their fried little mind to think they mean it's ok to get HIGH using weed is CRAZY! These verses are in no way in reference to SMOKING MARIJUANA to get INTOXICATED! WRONG "GRASS" "STONER"! GET A LIFE! GUESS WHO DOESN"T GET TO PLAY FOOTBALL! THE OTHER STONER!

Uh, Biffco.....the name of the town is Denison, with one N.........I'm sure you made a natural miskate, but somehow that part of the brain that does spelling seemed to be affected by the THC, huh? Now, if you claim that God said His plants are good, please explain poison ive, pison oak, poison sumac, and (an allergy sufferer's favorite) ragweed. If poison ivy is a wonderful plant, feel free to make a shirt out of the stuff and wear it. Please, if you'tr going to quote Scripture, get intelligent about it. Oh by the way, His name as I know it is God, not Ja (or were you saying Yes in Swedish?) Please do not insult our intelligence by saying God said it's all right to smoke a bowl now and then. It also says in the Gospel of Mark that "they shall take up serpents", but I have no reason or desire to play around with rattlesnakes either. I'll let them do their thing, and I'll do mine, and in such do we live in harmony. But please....keep posting- you're way too funny for words.......duuuuude

Biffco, why don't you just get Cancer and then you can move outta here to a state where you can smoke all the pot you want. Then the Durant Police Officer can deliver it to you from his supplier Justin Pitrucha.
Posted by: Dan Location: Durant on Aug 9, 2008 at 02:36 AM
Biffco youre a moron. Any fool can quote the Bible to justify one's selfish stand. The reason your "weed" is against the law is because idiots out there can't control themselves when they get high and go out and committ crimes against other people or on themselves! People actually kill people over that stuff. Find some common sense by dumping your girlfriend "Mary Jane!"
Posted by: Biffco Location: Under your skin on Aug 8, 2008 at 11:55 PM
Genesis Chapter 1 (The very first page of the good book), King James Version: Verse 11: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. Verse 12: And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Guess what cannabis is. It's an herb grown from seed and yielding seed. One of the first things God teaches us is that his plants (cannabis included) are GOOD. Later chapters tell us that we are created in HIS image and we are to have dominion over the plants and animals. I read this a His permission to use his good works as I see fit. It could be argued that cannabis prohibition (created by mans ignorance and fear) is a violation of God's Law and an affront to The Lord. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

BIFFCO, "IT"S ONLY WRONG IN THE EYES OF THE LAW"! Well, if it's wrong in the eyes of the law, DON'T DO IT!! The comparison you use to the voting issue and slaves is just plain stupid! There is no comparison to people being treated cruely and with prejudice to people not being allowed to smoke weed! GET A GRIP! Your choice of "INTOXICANT" does make you criminals because it IS against the LAW! You are NUTS for comparing this law to the unfair voting laws of the past and slavery! YES, THOSE LAWS WERE WRONG, and on a much SMALLER scale, so is using weed to get HIGH! STOP SMOKING YOUR WEED AND GROW A NEW BRAIN!

Guess what- this clown got kicked off the team. No football for him. Now, what were you saying about examples?
Posted by: Biffco Location: Dennnison on Aug 8, 2008 at 07:53 PM
SOSU GRAD, It's only wrong in the eyes of the LAW. And I believe the LAW is wrong. Martin Luther King said it is everybody's duty to disobey unjust laws, and prohibition against cannabis is unjust. It used to be illegal for a black man or any woman in this country to vote. Was that right? It was the law. So it MUST have been. It used to be lawful to own slaves. The point is this: legal doesn't always mean right (moral) and illegal most certainly doesn't always equal immoral. Sane dialog without all the name calling and emotional overreaction (on both sides of the argument) is what's necessary to come to a true understanding and consensus about this social issue. Us "stoners" don't like breaking the law. That's why we are fighting to get the laws changed. So that our choice of intoxicant no longer makes us criminals. We WANT to be law-abiding citizens. We just want the laws to be just and fair. We are good people and ours is a good fight. Ja bless

Chill. Probation is not an unusual sentence for a simple possion beef. Furthermore, most colleges would permit someone guilty of a misdemeanor to remain on the team. He'll be subject to random testing, and if he uses he'll do some time.

The firemaan is a totally different story. His position as a fireman hold people's life in his hands every day. Not comforting when a fireman is under the infulence. Fireman vs. football player...no comparison.

Durant Cop, Biffco, and others who are supporting this young man who BROKE THE LAW make me sick! You complain about the people who stand up for what's RIGHT, and defend the people who do what's WRONG! This type of thinking is a big problem within our society today. Everyone thinks it's o.k. to do whatever makes them feel good at the time. Who cares if it's against the law or immoral? This is Oklahoma, not Alaska, California, or Canada. If you guys want to live like liberal idiots, then by all means move to one of these locations, and please take PITRUCHA with you!

To DURANT COP. You have got to be kidding me. You are a police officer and feel the way you do about marijuana. You are a disgrace to the badge. How much do you smoke of this stuff with the people you find it on? You need to get out of law enforcement with this type of thinking we don't need your type in this profession.
Posted by: Tommy Location: Sherman on Aug 8, 2008 at 03:04 PM
Biffco, It's pure ignorance. Durant Cop- glad your mom has found some relief thru God's little plant. People do need to get with the times. I wonder if everyone talked about alcohol this way during prohibition? Bunch of old fogies...Probably hate Elvis and rock & roll too!
Posted by: Jim Location: denison on Aug 8, 2008 at 01:00 PM
Ya, What did they do to the outher guys? What kind of time did they get? They didn't say anything about them on the news.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Denison on Aug 8, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Just cracks me up this guy gets a slap on the hand and can still play football. Then we have a Fireman in Sherman that can no longer be a fireman because he was stupid and got caught as well. And his charges are still pending. This only tells are kids it's ok to do drugs and you will get a way with it. please.

Maybe he had muscle pain. Maybe he was self medicating. its legal in alaska, california, and canada.....we're not talking about rape and murder nor cocaine.. we are talking about an herb this is much less dangerous than the alcohol all of you drink by the gallon. Thank god for this herb because my mom is dying of cancer and deals with pain every day.. she is prescribed marinol which is marijauna and it works where the narcotics dont.. We need medical marijauna now .. How this young man chooses to use this plant is his buisness.. He shouldnt be suspended for a misdemeanor thats rediculous.. You people need to come to the present time.
Posted by: J. J. Location: Durant on Aug 8, 2008 at 09:20 AM
Who is this guy??....Channel 12 should be ashamed for giving this guy time on the news, you'd think he was Romo!...he's just another Quincy Carter of D-II football, is SOSU hurting that bad in the QB department and did the others that were arrested get probation?? Hmmmmm....
Posted by: Biffco Location: Dennison on Aug 8, 2008 at 09:09 AM
Every time a pot related story is posted to this site, there is so much hate on this board. What have you guys got against pot anyway? Why so much name-calling (worthless dopehead, pothed, doper, druggie, etc.) and harsh judgement? Maybe you should look inside yourself and try to figure out where all this prejudice and animosity comes from. Did pot personally ruin your life somehow? Or are you just a natural hater and the prohibition just legitimizes your deep-seated hatred for anything you fear or don't understand?. Judge much?
Posted by: Ashley Location: Sherman on Aug 8, 2008 at 09:01 AM
Most people dont go to jail on first time misdemeanor drug charges....so dont think he is just getting off because he plays football.
Posted by: SOSU Alumni Location: Durant on Aug 8, 2008 at 08:33 AM
Marijuana is considered "dope" also. Look up the definition of dope. Dope is a general word used for all types of drugs including marijuana. Get your facts straight before you start spouting off! Being a Durant resident has nothing to do with who SOSU recruits for football nor the police force. We have to take what we are dealt!
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Gainesville, Tx on Aug 8, 2008 at 08:17 AM
This could be the best thing that could have happen to this young man. Now he will be watched, by many. People of all ages make mistakes, and do DUMB things but that does not mean they are always bad people. This mistake could make or break his life, at a very young age. This is an eye opener for him, his family and this collage.
Posted by: 60s&70s Location: Okieville on Aug 8, 2008 at 02:18 AM
FYI - I know you young ones don't call marijuana dope, but back in the old days, before you were an itch in your daddy's pants,it was called dope, I know you were just trying to catch us up and all, but we don't care what is "politically correct" now, we are not trying to stay in with the "in" crowd!!!
Posted by: None Location: Texas on Aug 8, 2008 at 12:38 AM
What amount of time did the other four that were arrested get. I didn't catch that part.
Posted by: SOSU Alumni Location: Atoka on Aug 7, 2008 at 11:48 PM
I went to SOSU and went through their teacher education program in PE and I will be deeply surprised if they let this idiot play for SOSU again. Their teacher education program is reasonably good, but I would be surprised if certain department heads let him have a second chance to play again. Those certain people are not going to risk their reputations and their teacher ed program just to let a convicted drug user or dealer back in school! I would say his career at SOSU is done! Go play for ECU LOSER!
Posted by: Bob S. Location: Norman on Aug 7, 2008 at 11:46 PM
"I know", if you're going to kick players off a team for "being an idiot if nothing else", how could a school like ECU ever have enough players to play?
Posted by: I know... on Aug 7, 2008 at 10:25 PM
I totally agree that this guy is a complete loser and needs to get a life, not to mention be kicked off the team for just being an idiot if nothing else. however, it is my understanding it wasn't his pot, and the girl who had it on her wasn't even arrested because she stuck...in her baby's diaper bag. Wow Durant is a classy town, and such a great police force and judicial system! You Durant residents must be so proud! Maybe Grisham needs to leave Ada alone and come to Durant.
Posted by: Carter Location: Texoma on Aug 7, 2008 at 10:21 PM
We have so many great and outstanding players who do not engage in illicit activities like the suspended SOSU quarterback Justin Pitrucha, those are the players that I will gladly pay money to go and see them play. I believe in second chances, but this is the second time that Justin Pitrucha has been some type of trouble during his time at SOSU. I will give the chance to another well deserve player. Someone with integrity, honesty and accountability; someone that can be proud to be call himself a football player of SOSU.

agrees with anonymous. marijuana is definitely not dope. the old dudes and dudets need to recognize!!!!
Posted by: Disgusted Location: Tishomingo on Aug 7, 2008 at 09:20 PM
Emily Redman sounds like discrimination how you let the white boy go for something he did do, and locked the black boy up for 15 years for something he didn't do. Thanks for justice. We know not to vote for you.
Posted by: Bill Location: Ardmore on Aug 7, 2008 at 08:56 PM
Marijauna is dope Anonymous, it is an illegal drug mo matter what you call it and this boy does not deserve to play ball at SOSU or at any other collage.
Posted by: natedog Location: ardmore on Aug 7, 2008 at 08:49 PM
Pitrucha is my favorite Pokemans
Posted by: positive first step?! Location: what u talkin about?? on Aug 7, 2008 at 07:42 PM
David Reed makes it sound like it's no big deal that Pitrucha's on probation for possession of marijuana. Reed saying, "it's a positive first step!" What's positive about a man being on probation for possession?! I think Reed and Richards are buds and have the same mind set. They think winning football games is more important to the University than having players that are abiding by the law and are being good role models for our youth!
Posted by: Josh Location: denison on Aug 7, 2008 at 06:13 PM
Who was the Judge in the case. That is crazy they are suspending it so he can play ball. SOSU must have gave some money to the judge. Can you say PAYOFF
Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 7, 2008 at 05:38 PM
Just to clear it up with few who are misunderstood. Dope is not marijauna, it is methamphetamine, crack, and powder drugs. Marijauna is Marijauna, or weed, if you call it that, but not dope. Just catching all you old geezers up on the present!
Posted by: Not surprised Location: Grayson County on Aug 7, 2008 at 04:27 PM
You had to see this one coming! Gosh, why would a worthless dopehead do any jail time when he could play football
Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 7, 2008 at 04:07 PM
Let's see...first string college quarterback caught with dope, arrested, (great mug shot, by the way)gets suspended sentence... Is this SOSU or OU?
Posted by: Biffco Location: Dennison on Aug 7, 2008 at 03:27 PM
BEST MUGSHOT EVER!!!
Posted by: Craig Location: denison on Aug 7, 2008 at 03:20 PM
Man everytime they put that pic up I just want to punch that guy in the face. That smile like he thinks he is so cool. He should not get to play ball and sosu should kick him off the team.
Posted by: bob Location: durant on Aug 7, 2008 at 03:11 PM
Well that it you can break the law and get away with it if you play football.
Posted by: Mork Location: Ork on Aug 7, 2008 at 02:48 PM
He would not feel so all alone......Everybody must get stoned!!!! You gotta fight for your right to Par-tay.

Does this mean he can play ball??
Posted by: What a Joke Location: Durant High School on Aug 7, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Yep, the DA showed the QB what justice is all about. Now, all the High School football players that looked up to their college hero, now knows; see Mom it's no big deal to use and sell drugs, if cought using drugs; I won't mis a game.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Whitesboro on Aug 7, 2008 at 01:37 PM
Good he got what he deserves! Now as long as they do drug tests on him every time he reports then justice can be served. But with looks of his smart@#$ mug shot, jail time would have done him some good.
Posted by: Nice mug shot! Location: Oklahoma on Aug 7, 2008 at 01:23 PM
Nice to see this guy convicted. Hope SOSU stands by the suspension.
