  1. If you are going to talk shit, at least know what you are talking about.
  2. And the fact that those three teams are in baseball America’s top four teams right now. It looks improved for sure. South Carolina’s first loss of the season too.
  3. I haven’t seen it brought up that the track team was fundraising by minstrel show. Are we expecting it to be disbanded?
  4. Another great aggie tradition! It was probably after the boot sliding contest though, and after the normal people went home.
  5. I did a deep dive on it and there are definitely racist cartoons by Seuss, but I didn't find any direct references to his books. That doesn't stop the narrative that there are "strong racist undertones" in ALL of the Seuss books, which seemed to be the theme from most of the articles on the topic. I have to say in 17 years of reading those books to my kids, I haven't noticed them, but I am a 45 year old white guy so I am probably not as sensitive to them. Should we boycott ABC / ESPN / Disney because of Song of the South? A movie that still had a ride (Splash Mountain - Magic Kingdom) associated with it up until a few months ago. I have known that was racist and told my daughters as much for years now every time we rode that ride. Shocked it has lasted as long as it did. I understand the point of view of the students and athletes. I think (hope) that the school is taking the right approach. There are also plenty of people that identify with the song and have emotional ties to it for numerous reasons, none of which are (likely) racist. If we start eliminating everything in our culture because we can 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon our way to a racist history or attachment, there won't be much history or culture left in this country. This country has a racist past. In some ways, I think identifying and using items that point to that history to educate and understand is better than eliminating and deepening the divide.
  6. Quote + avatar has me wondering what we are even talking about. But yes, I would bite her ass.
  7. I wonder if he let Da Bears know that it is ok if the other team knows what you are running 90 percent of the time. But then the Bears seem like an organization that would be ok with that based on recent "offensive" history.
  8. They showed a student video that was set to Welcome Home by Radical Face that was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. I haven't found it anywhere else, and only saw it once on LHN. More of that kind of thing would have been great. I've gone to Youtube TV too, and would like to have LHN back, but not that badly.
  9. Can we just have a half decent coach in ONE sport that is televised?
  10. I've seen this photo but not sure where it is from. What's the backstory?
  11. I'm just going to chime in as an old and say that I appreciate Maalik using a twitter handle I can understand that also brings the sweet sounds of Sade to my brain each time I see it. Also nice to see him making all kinds of throws in the 7v7 games.
  12. As an old man that collected or helped my younger brother collect cards, let me say that this is lit fam. 🔥💯
  13. I think I am gonna start negging anyone that uses "glizzy" or "woo" on general principle.
  14. Does he understand he isn't in college anymore? I mean why hire a college recruiting coordinator on top of all of the suspect college coaches he is loading up with?
  15. I thought it was well established that this board (meaning Surly as a whole - I don’t play Football vs 9.95er wars) has no clue what a generation is and thinks it to be somewhere between 10-20 years.
  16. Oh, I know the point and I agree. But I will believe that Sark is the guy to lead this program the day he is holding a Big 12 trophy and not a minute before. For a league that is sooooo easy to win, I would hope we would have more than 3 championships in its 25 year history.
  17. This league isn't that tough, but we have only had a shot to win it... checks notes... twice in the last 11 years.
  18. I mean Aaron Rogers, Patrick Mahomes and Drake are all selling insurance now, so that puts Johnny Football in some elite company.
  19. I think the Weeknd's audience was too young to get the Revenge of the Nerds reference too.
  20. After the 25 minute Covid infomercial that was the "pre-game show," I was about ready to turn it off too. Hey media! We fucking know about Covid! We don't need it shoved down our throat every chance you get.
