OU's Striker apologizes after tirade in Tennessee

Eric Striker talked a lot about Tennessee, "Rocky Top" and the SEC.

He talked to the Tennessee fans after the game, too and Monday Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said he was going to discipline Striker, who was caught on camera mouthing several not-so-suitable words toward fans and others at Neyland Stadium.

Stoops also said safety Hatari Byrd would be punished for, well, flipping the bird at opposing fans after Oklahoma's 31-24 win in double overtime.

“Their actions in the heat of the moment and all emotionally are absolutely inappropriate, and they’ll be dealt with in an educational manner. We’ll handle it internally,” Stoops said, according to newsok.com

On Monday evening, Striker apologized through Oklahoma Football's Twitter account. 

Byrd apologized on his own behalf.
