“They expressed gratitude for me letting them in. There are some great guys on the team. I would say I’m still a fan. It was helpful for me, to know these guys did care about me and didn’t judge me.”

Broken bond

Molitor says she’s still an OU football fan, but she hasn’t been back to a game since the punch at Pickleman’s. Hard to cheer for a team that includes Mixon.

Molitor said the incident “broke my heart. Irreparable damage has been done.” She likens OU game days to Christmas. But she no longer takes part. “I refuse to attend a game with him on the field. Which sucks. It used to take a lot to miss a game. It was the highlight of my week. Just can’t support that.”

Her mom hasn’t been back to a game since. Molitor’s little brother, whose Instagram username was OUbound, will be a freshman this fall at a school in Texas.

“It took something from our family,” Molitor said. “OU’s been a part of my life. It will always have a part of my life. I’ve made lifelong friends here. But it’s not some place I will encourage my children to come to. Not a place I expect to come back to. I don’t ever see myself attending another OU game my entire life. It will never be the same for me.”
