Stoops isn't messing around. Looks like the kid might have some trouble elsewhere as well.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has suspended sophomore receiver Jaz Reynolds for a pair of tweets on Tuesday, the same day a gunman opened fire on campus at the University of Texas before committing suicide in the library.
""Hey everyone in Austin, tx… kill yourself #evillaugh."
Reynolds didn't do himself any favors with a follow-up a little later.
"Everyone in austin, tx disregard that last tweet… y'all will mess around n do it lmao."
Reynolds caught 13 passes as a freshman last season, but has yet to record one in 2010. He was suspended for "academic reasons" for Oklahoma's game against Air Force earlier this year.
"Because of his insensitive remarks on Twitter relative to Tuesday's tragedy in Austin, we have suspended Jaz Reynolds from our team indefinitely," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said in a statement from the university. "Our rivalry with Texas will not come at the expense of dignity and respect. We have great concern for what happened in Austin and I am incredibly disappointed that someone connected with our team would react so callously.
"We have taken immediate action and I hope by doing so we have illustrated how seriously we view this matter."
