  1. We can haz Jadan Baugh?
  2. Why would Burke need more film? Dude has 40 tackles, 3 sacks, and a FF this year alone. They aren't going to learn anything more about him in one more game.
  3. My guy, it wasn't obscure. I cited fucking wikipedia. I lived during the time. It was most definitely a slur. Kids called each other gay or queer as an insult. What did you think R Lee Ermey mean by steers and queers? The only thing political about this conversation pretending it wasn't a pejorative. It is PC now. The term has been reclaimed. But only when used in a positive context. Smear the queer is not that. You're being ridiculous.
  4. I'm not wrong. Queer - Wikipedia It was slur by the time the game was popularized in the latter half of the 20th century. Y'all sound like old men arguing that the n-word isn't a racial slur or racist. Come the fuck on.
  5. Asshole is a very appropriate descriptor. But it sounds like you're struggling with some of the nuance of the English language. Homophobic is an adjective. It could apply to a word, an object, or a person. But just because it applies to a particular word doesn't mean it applies to the person who uses it. You can change the descriptor if you'd like, but the grammar issue remains the same.
  6. The word was used as a homophobic slur. Its use in the name of the game was homophobic. Whether the individual children who played at various times were aware of that or themselves homophobic is a completely different issue. As a kid in the 80s and 90s, I certainly understood that queer referenced someone's sexuality and was used as an insult. I had a vague sense that the name was mean, but homophobia was so common that I didn't really appreciate its true cruelty or that others could be hurt by its use. I do now. Not apologizing would be a dick move. But I get it, y'all are assholes that can only think about yourselves and not about how your words and actions affect others (even if unintentionally). That is idiotic.
  7. 18-17 Texas.
  8. 17-15 Texas. Indiana causing some problems.
  9. 14-10, Texas.
  10. If the game was being played in 1600s, you'd have a point. The pejorative use was well established by the 1800s and certainly understood in the mid-twentieth century when the game started.
  11. When do you think the game was invented? Queer was a pejorative for gay folks long before it was recaptured to self-identify. The use of the term in the game was 100% homophobic. Your reaction to a simple apology is far more damaging. This is an innocuous event. People treating the apology as bad are the ones blowing it out of proportion. Yes, it was. Queer was a pejorative for gay folks 100 years before the game existed. Its use in the game was absolutely homophobic and a reference to the pejorative term. It was simply part of the culture of our society when that name was used. Bijan didn't mean any harm when he said it. It was a slip of the tongue referencing a childhood game that had a legacy of homophobia. He apologized, in much the same was you'd apologize if you accidentally bumped into someone. It wasn't intentional. It wasn't mean. But it did deserve an apology. Bijan is grown man unlike the reactionary children on this thread. It isn't a big deal, and y'all are the absolute worst for trying to make an apology a problem.
  12. 24-21, set point #3 24-22 on an ace. Close it out horns.
  13. Yes, he did. He feels he did too. It wasn't intentional. But when you accidentally hurt someone, you apologize. I encourage to look up what a sociopath is.
  14. 25-20 in set 1.
  15. That's just because you're a sociopath.
  16. Of course there is. Apologizing when you make a mistake, which he did, is the grownup thing to do.
  17. So... If the Citrus Bowl doesn't happen, do we still get the practices? Can this just be the orange and white scrimmage that we missed?
