The football board takes a beating over here, but gentlemen, this is why. Story time: I grew up in middle class round rock in a good family. Mom stayed at home, dad worked his ass off and we had it pretty good. I was a fucking smart kid, my brother was not, but he has ADHD so the expectations were just inherently different. The expectations for me were doctor/lawyer/smart person career. Problem was, I couldn’t do homework. At some point, I couldn’t read books anymore. Just a mental block against both. And do you know what people who see a smart kid who doesn’t do those things say? “Work harder” “You’re entitled” “Apply yourself” “I know you’re capable, why can’t you meet expectations?” Well, as it turns out I have ADD too but wasn’t diagnosed until 32. Had I been diagnosed as a kid, maybe I would have developed some skills to “apply myself”. Maybe I wouldn’t have appeared so “entitled” by just getting by on test scores. So, now replace smarts with football talent, in many cases replace stable family life with the inverse, and replace ADD with fucking anything else. These are kids who may be dealing with some difficult shit. We have no idea. Your post takes potshots at the whole person without even considering the whole person. Does Juwan say and do some stupid shit on and off the field? Hell yes. Do we need to scream boomer takes at the sun in response? Hell no. Life isn’t as simple for everyone as you make it out to be, and I for one will not stand for disparaging kids we don’t know. Tl;dr - Fuck off football board

No one with ADD is going to finish reading that.

Nice kids from good families in Texas getting shot on Omaha Beach being in some way equivalent to a JUCO kid from Newark struggling with the hothouse environment of Texas football in 2021 is a real boomer fucking take, bud.

Yes he is and I am so proud of him. My son Jaramie decided to run track this year and that was his first meet and I think he did a great job. The track coach wanted him to throw disc or shot but I told him I would sue the school district for discrimination if he didn’t let Jaramie run the 100m.

You might even say it's two good.

Lord loves a workin' man. Don't trust whitey. See a doctor and get rid of it.

Big vaccine getter, the Lama.

The Millennium Falcon. 7,500 pieces. 23.5 hours. Worked on it only Friday nights. It's awesome All that's left is the lights and stand. Can't start that until 3 weeks. Should be done end of the month and I'll send last pics of this bad ass lego set... wife had more fun than i did building it. Next up, Star Destroyer Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Well, I had an 8 piece of Popeyes Fried Chicken that I was dipping in Hershey's Chocolate syrup so maybe that had something to do with it.

Heb is an extremely well run company that does a lot of good for the State, but they always profit off thier benevolence. They haven't exactly stood by thier employees with increased wages and hazard pay. I know Hebs in Houston and parts of Austin already have armed guards or cops. Have them deal with the nutters. Putting your employees in harm's way to appease some bullying man child maggots its bullshit. It's just like all the accomodation of Trump and his ilk. Fuck the assholes. Stop protecting thier feelings and start tasing or arresting them or fucking shooting them.

“OK we can get a dog, but he won’t be allowed on the furniture.”

Sam Ehlinger threw that.

As has been stated, the athletes should not be forced to sing it if they have moral objections - no matter what Sark said.

Most Longhorns want to keep the EOT

You’re not going to like the facts of this report. I’m sorry this is happening to you

Huh. So not a fucking thing happening here, then? Okay then.

Damn how pissed will the CR regulars who Bukakke each other to the shit be when they realize that their dreams of this evil racist song won’t come true. I’ll pray for their boyfriends

Hey, kids! Let's make a ton of toxic fumes in a public place! You know what? We probably shouldn't be breathing this... Let's get something to cover your faces... What? We did? Oh.

This seems a little brutal man, most of these kids come from really awful environments. Their athletic gifts open a lot of doors but it usually takes people years and years after the fact to learn life lessons.

I'm not of the HEB cult, but I'm getting there. HEB seems to be an exception to the normal practices one expects of corporations: HEB did up salaries for the pandemic, has now made them permanent, and given a $500 bonus. Credit where credit is due. The store near me opened for an afternoon during The Big Freeze, and the workers could not have been more cheerful during that rush. They closed back up at 4pm so workers could drive home before the roads got worse again. I think it was Wednesday, the middle of the freeze. They've seemed to be good corporate citizens with empathy for their work crew and a connection with the public. Compliments to them. Now with the meat packing companies, I'm with you, brother.

This latest bit of sensationalist bullshit stirred by that article will blow over next week after the report is released and the positive, all inclusive PR the university will launch. The EoT is staying. If you did a Venn diagram of current students offended by the song and students that have no pride or love for the 40 and UT athletics it would cover the same small group. They’re not going to be the alums that will donate, buy tickets or fill seats watching this football team. Fuck them.

You gotta throw Mike Price on the list as well. But I don't know if anybody will ever dislodge Petrino from GOAT status. Gotta be one of my alltime favorite meme pics I mean look at that fucker. I don't know if there has ever been a more accurate caption.

Just operate under the assumption he's constantly a dumbass and you'll never miss anything.

The most surprising part of this is realizing there is someone that still watches ESPN.

Just about every page on this thread has one or three posters opining that current students (some of whom may never even graduate) should be able to dictate which policies and traditions should live or die. What “lived experiences” do students - many of whom are still teenagers, children really - have that would give them the wisdom to abandon traditions and set policies for millions of former and future students? Being offended is not wisdom. College traditions are usually established by students, but the best only endure if they have an appeal that lasts into adulthood. I have a feeling that most of the current students who would do away with The Eyes of Texas will grow to love and appreciate it, especially if they make a little effort to learn the history. Most of those who won’t probably aren’t the type who would maintain strong ties to UT after they graduate. They won’t have any reason to hear or sing it unless they’re at a wedding or watching Viva Las Vegas. So, I say... fuck ‘em.

Given your track record of making predictions, it’s likely this song survives several evolutionary epochs where enormous species are created, roam the Earth and then succumb to extinction. You sir are the George Constanza of getting things right on Covid, college football and politics.

A little San Antonio street art I just happened across.

The coup is about to begin. Allah be praised.

Her boyfriend is back for a visit.

Let's agree not to bump this thread unless that piece of shit is dead or being indicted.

Mack didn’t see Vince’s elite talent. His fucking high school coach had to drive to Austin and bitch out Mack and Greg Davis for putting Vince under center. So no. I don’t give Mack any credit. If anything I want to punch him in the face even more for sort of wasting the first year and half of Vince’s college career

Awww, privileged white man learns about the horrific conditions of American prisons while reaping what he sowed.

You are arguing Sark didn't know it went national news story before last week or that OU or other school wouldnt bring it up in negative recruiting again? Who is being naive or calling coach naive? Also you seem to be emotionally fragile by, of all things, the POSSIBLE opinions of SOME 17 year old athletes IF they believe dumb shit. No I get it. Lets just cancel shit because if we don't we "look" racist even though shit is not nor do you even believe it is. That is how some of you roll and what you stand for? Got it. By all means go ahead and conflate actual racists with those of us who aren't but stand for TEOT. We are not talking Dixie or. Conf flags or conf statues. We are talking influence of a phrase that possibly could be taken as racists by MORONS. Something something traditions shall not be entrusted to the weak and timid...

HEB is still a private company. They can actually make smart, long term plans for their business and treat their employees well.

Robert Killebrew thinks Juwan Mitchell is undisciplined.

How is this board still at the point where we're discussing literally anything Ketchum says at all? He's wrong about fucking everything. Hell, I move that we ban posting Orangebloods content here all together.
