What ever happened to Justin Blackmon?

by; BenJarmin Munguia

What ever happen to Justin Blackmon

The Oklahoma native was a start in college, becoming the 2012 Festa Bowl MVP and the BIG 12 offensive player of the year. Many people said he would be the next Terrell Ownes.

But what happened that he was only in the league for no more than 3 seasons?

Blackmon attended Oklahoma State University (OSU) in 2009. While his freshman year looked like any other subpar wide receiver in college, with only 20 receptions, his 2011 season was historic. He caught 111 catches for 1,782 yards for 20 touchdowns. He was named an All-American and won the BIG 12 Offensive Player of the Year award.

Entering his Junior year, the Ardmore native raked up 122 receptions and over 1,500 yards receiving, setting records for most consecutive 100- and 200-yard games. His best game came during the 2012 Fiesta Bowl. Blackmon hauled in 8 receptions for 186 yards and 3 touchdowns, even having one carry for 52 yards. OSU won, defeating Stanford 38-41. Blackmon was named MVP.

He finished his college career with over 3500 yards and 40 touchdowns. Becoming the only one of two college players to win the Fred Biletnikoff Award twice

After a promising college career, Justin looked like a top-ten draft pick and what could be the second coming of Terrell Owens. The Jaguars drafted Blackmon fifth overall in the 2012 NFL draft, and fans were excited. The former Fiesta Bowl MVP looked to be the cornerstone of the offense.

Then things started to derail.

A month after the draft, Blackmon was arrested for his second DUI. He had a prior arrest in 2010, and it didn't seem like a red flag at the time. But it is something to keep an eye out for.

In his rookie year with the Jaguars. The former OSU standout raked up over 800 yards receiving and 5 touchdowns. His best game was a week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. Blackmon raked up 7 receptions and 236 yards, the 3rd most receiving yards by a rookie in a single game in NFL history.

However, in his second year in the NFL, Blackmon would be suspended for the first 4 games due to violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. But he was making up for the suspension when his first two games back, he collected over 135 yards receiving in both games, but in week 9. Blackmon was suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse and missed the remainder of the season. He finished the season with 415 yards. They averaged about 103 yards per game he played.

Things were going from bad to worse for Blackmon, as he was arrested for another DUI in 2015. Football was not a priority.

Blackmon retired in 2017, but the Jaguars still have him on the Reserve/Suspended list.

Blackmon's NFL career was filled with was filed with alcohol and suspensions; even after his suitable rookie year, he could never escape his off-field issues.

There is light to his football story. In January 2024, Blackmon will be inducted into the 2024 College Football Hall of Fame, a reward that he well deserved for the dominance and power he had back in Stillwater County.

After Blackmon's time in the NFL, he became one of the biggest "What ifs" in NFL history. What could the two-time Fred Biletnikoff

Award winner have done on the professional field without his offseason antics?

Snow blankets Oklahoma, prompting school closures and slick road conditions!

Wow, Oklahoma! Looks like you got a real winter wonderland on your hands this week. ❄️ KTUL news reports that snow has blanketed most of the state, with several inches of accumulation in some areas.

As a result, schools in western and southwestern Oklahoma have been closed, and some universities are opening late. 🏫 Roads and bridges are also slick, so be sure to drive carefully if you have to be out. 🚗

But hey, at least the scenery is beautiful! 😉 If you're lucky enough to be enjoying a snow day, make sure to bundle up and stay warm. And if you're not, well, there's always next year!

Oklahoma State: 2023 Texas Bowl Champions

Oklahoma State won the Texas Bowl behind some big performances from its receivers.

OSU beat Texas A&M 31-23, thanks to Rashod Owens and Brennan Presley. Owens finished with 164 yards and two touchdowns, while Presley added 152 yards on 16 receptions to set OSU’s bowl game record.

With 5:07 left, Texas A&M kicker Randy Bond nailed a 51-yard field goal off the crossbar to cut OSU’s lead to eight. However, OSU did not give the ball back until there were only 17 seconds left, and Kendal Daniels picked off Texas A&M’s last-second Hail Mary.

With Texas A&M looking to get within one score to begin the fourth quarter, Nick Martin recovered a fumble forced by Xavier Benson to set OSU up at its 1-yard line. Leon Johnson III came up with a huge third-down catch to get out of their end zone. However, that drive would end abruptly with Bowman throwing his second interception.

Rashod Owens’ big night was highlighted in OSU’s only scoring drive of the third quarter. Including an 18-yard grab in the end zone, Owens had 48 yards on that drive.

Despite Owens’ big gains, Texas A&M kept fighting. Marcel Reed’s 20-yard scamper along the right sideline into the end zone made it 31-20 midway through the third quarter.

On the first drive of the second half, Alan Bowman threw an interception to give the Aggies some much-needed momentum. Amari Daniels finished off the Aggies’ first touchdown drive a few plays later with a 2-yard score to get back within 11.

Although he is in the transfer portal, OSU quarterback Gunnar Gundy came in and ran for a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Before that, Brennan Presley’s 34-yard pass to Owens put OSU’s offense in position to score.

After three catches by Presley on their last drive of the half, the Cowboys went for fourth down for the first time and found Presley again to keep the drive going. Bowman then found Braden Cassity for a 17-yard gain before Ollie Gordon punched it in a play later to take a 24-6 halftime lead.

In what may have been his final college game, Bowman went for 402 yards passing and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, OSU’s star running back went for 118 yards in his first game since announcing his return for the 2024 season.

House Bill 3098, authored by Senator Jessica Garvin and Representative Toni Hasenbeck, could criminalize common STIs and turn thousands of Oklahomans into felons. Instead of reducing the spread of STIs, experts in the field say the bill would make the problem worse.

…

If signed into law, House Bill 3098 would criminalize the intentional or reckless spread of STIs. Violators could face between 2 to 5 years in prison.

…

However reckless is not defined in the bill, which experts in the field say leaves an open door to potential unnecessary lawsuits and prosecutions.

…

Because of the broad language, rather than encouraging Oklahomans to get tested, treated, and reduce the spread of STIs, House Bill 3098 could make the problem worse.

these people are out of their fucking minds. they basically want to make it illegal to have sex outside of marriage. the objective is pretty plain to see. red states are in the process of living out their Christian Nationalist fantasies. what an awful place to live. and that’s coming from someone who lives in a pretty awful place already.

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

#and ive heard even dumber origins of the cherokee family myth #such as an ancestor having a silly sounding name so the descendents just go 'oh she mustve been an indian!!!' #i was one of the few people who had my ancestry done on the facebook and had genuine cherokee ancestry #[though i had found it before it was just really validating to get it double checked and i started finding cousins (:] #like. i was told once when i was a kid by my grandma that my dad had cherokee ancestry and i didnt believe her. its wild that so many peopl #will make it a Fixture of their identity [or even just smth they bring up ever] with Zero proof #at least for cherokees from what ive seen its usually considered really disrespectful to claim to have cherokee ancestry without #actually having the documentation [like ancestors on the rolls] #and no a dna test doesnt count. nor does 'my dad is Clearly not white!' or 'high cheekbones' or old family photos or anything #i had this discussion with someone recently whose dad had been calling himself 3/4 native but didnt know exactly what nation ???? hello? #and its like... sorry but ur dad is like. italian lol. #[and blood quantum is bullshit anyway im tired of the 'im 1/16 cherokee' comments its dumb #cherokee nation does not have a blood quantum requirement. its pointless bringing it up in the discussion of who is or isnt cherokee] #also mandatory disclaimer that im reconnecting. i didnt grow up connected to the culture of even knowing my ancestry #this is all from my looking into this stuff over the past year or so. i cant claim to be an authority over anything regarding this #this is p much all my repeating things ive heard said by people who know a lot more than i do haha #man. and this isnt even starting to get into the fake tribe stuff. the only legit cherokee groups are the 3 federally recognized bands #cherokee nation of oklahoma. united keetoowah band. and the eastern band of cherokee indians. #any others that are state recognized or not at all arent acknowledged as legitimate by any of the legit cherokee groups #anyway. my final message goodb.ye #cherokee #tsalagi
