I'd be willing to give *some* slack if I could tell from that article if he was asked directly about the possibility of OU bolting in the near future. I can't imagine he just brought it up out of the blue (well, maybe I can, but even Boren can't be that clueless, can he?).
Then again, even if he was asked, he could just offer no comment, at least.
