<![CDATA[Bob Stoops, Hugh Freeze feels your pain.]]>Ugly story here about how a racist chant from members of a University of Oklahoma fraternity captured on video has led to the shuttering of the campus fraternity by its national organization and an investigation from the school.

The reason I mention it here is because of the interesting reactions it garnered from members of the Oklahoma football team. If the sentiment mentioned in the following tweet isn’t the essence of what college life is like for many of them, I don’t know what is:

Crazy cause after the games they welcome us through their doors with open arms..

Maybe, but it doesn’t sound like they let you stay, either.

Don’t think this won’t come up on the recruiting trail. Just ask Ole Miss about that.

UPDATE #2: Quotes, too.

Bob Stoops: "It’s hard to believe that that actually happened. It’s sad the ignorance that can still be there with some people." #Sooners

Bob Stoops continued: "It's just appalling. I was here to be with my guys. We all work with beautiful young men." #Sooners

Bob Stoops on reaction to the video: "It’s just… y’know… very little gets me choked up. But that hurt." #Sooners

UPDATE #3: As I said, it’s a football story.

#Scout150 OL @JeanDelance74 was clearly disturbed by the racist frat video from #OU last night, no longer committed to #Sooners
