Sports Illustrated's Online Vault is pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread, and periodically we'll be taking a look back at a memorable story. This week's article was originally published February 27, 1989 and written by Rick Telander and Robert Sullivan.
Picture Sam Bradford. Now picture him this time next year. Now picture him in jail. That's basically what happened to former Sooners QB Charles Thompson. He was the starting quarterback for the #1 ranked Sooners in 1987 and a little over a year later, he was caught selling 17 grams of cocaine to an undercover FBI agent. This story details the breathtakingly out of control Sooners, led by Barry Switzer, that would eventually lead them to being put on three year's probation.
