Texas-OU (Owww!)

An Oklahoma man has been charged with aggravated assault and battery after attacking a man who wore a University of Texas shirt into an Oklahoma City bar.

What kind of attack? Brace yourself:

Thomas hit the other man several times before several bar patrons intervened, but Thomas said Beckett didn't let go until Thomas heard his scrotum tear and blood ran down his leg.

Allen Michael Beckett, 53, of Oklahoma City, has not been arrested on the felony charge, which was filed Monday. It carries up to five years in prison if he is convicted.

The victim, Brian Thomas, was wearing a Longhorns T-shirt when he walked into Henry Hudson's Pub, according to court document. Thomas said Beckett called him "everything under the sun” and kept screaming at him for about 20 minutes.

Thomas said he decided to leave and when he went to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed his crotch and refused to let go. He said it took more than 60 stitches to close his wound.

UT should give Brian Thomas free game tickets for life. He really took one for the team.

Kids, this incident shows what happens when you troll in real life. Trolling sub-humans, like the kind that hang out in OK bars, will get you hurt. It's not right, but sometimes the world just works that way.

What next, Brian Thomas, wearing a "I (heart) Osama" shirt in Lower Manhattan?

Let's make a vow, Austin, never to do anything of the sort to anyone WHOSE FREAKING COLLEGE TEAM WE DON'T LIKE. That is so insane.

Dear God. I have no point of reference, but I could only guess that it would feel like someone ripping out my uterus.

What the hell is wrong with people?

I would hate to be the nurse that had to sew that mess up...it begs the question, when she was sewing up his ballsack, where was her other hand?

60 stitches? Obviously it requires a big set to wear a UT shirt there, but really! I think Oklahoma should let us handle Beckett's case - we're just getting the hang of capital punishment.
