In my view, it's entirely dependent on how old the person was at the time. A 16 year-old tweeting it out? Stupid, but that shouldn't ruin a career. But Scalley was a 34 year-old man when he said that. His views were fully formed and he should have had the basic awareness to know that's never acceptable, especially considering that 2013 wasn't exactly another era when it comes to the acceptability of saying the n-word.

Agree.

I’m not making excuses for Scalley. My question was more hypothetical because I can foresee  many more examples appearing over time.

I know Evan Stewart decently well, I don't know how well UT is actually positioned he's definitely more interested in OU at the moment

Again - my question is not about Scalley per se. 
 

But I am glad that civil discourse is still possible. We still have that.

Well then let me answer you. If you ever utter publicly or are recorded dropping n bombs you absolutely deserve to get your shit put on blast and all the negative consequences that come with it. When it was said is irrelevant. No one just starts using that word out of nowhere, it's learned and practiced. Better?

He meant to send it to the other coaches ... ? 

If they weren't going to ask before, now people are going to ask the other coaches what they knew, and whether he had used slurs while communicating with them ... this could get pretty messy.

Especially if other coaches were complicit in Scalley's behavior or worse, using the same kind of racist language.

Given the current state of our recruiting I can only imagine how bad it would be if our DC was outed as a racist right now. Fuck this guy. I’m glad we hired Ash.

Obviously we don’t. It looks like Utah has hired outside counsel to investigate him.

But either way, he is toast.

People say and do stupid shit during their lives. We all have. How accountable do we hold people for past sins? How far back do we look?

Nah, campus PD @ aggy until Elko departs.

The line of condemnation should at a minimum be drawn at 1968, but I'm not opposed to pushing it back another decade or more, like to 1954. The worst are the guys who only drop an N bomb in hushed tones to other whites assuming that because someone is white they are OK with it, even if they are a kid--insidious bitches trying to impress upon kids that all white adults talk that way. Fuck those guys. I knew too many of them growing up in the late 60's/early 70's and they rarely change. And fuck the Utah guy too.

TFB thinks Texas is in a good position to land Mukuba. Says it’s a two horse race with Clemson neck and neck but likes where Texas stands. Also said LSU could be a dark horse if they get involved late

So what he is saying is that Mukuba is Texas bound if Clemson doesn't want him and LSU fills up and decides not to get involved because of limited ships? I guess that is good. Kind of like if every man in the world died except for me and Kate Beckinsale was looking for a mate.

So it really means that Clemson and LSU aren't going to push because they have a litany of guys that are less likely to decommit over the course of the fall and winter that are just as good as Mukaba.

I am ok with that.

It's VaTech, he was a good get for them. Probably left because Davis broke up their big Texas-to-Blacksburg movement.

Fong's already CB'd him to Nebraska (strength 6)

Would we still turn up our nose at him? Things have gotten dire at WR since then.

He did list is as one of his five schools along with Nebraska, Florida, and some other schleprock.  With fongs cb to Nebraska I guess we’re out?

So Neville tried to commit to ou, ended up committing to VaTech, and now is likely flipping to Nebraska.  Is the staff goofing his recruitment or is he just not as high as the fallbacks we are on already?

Isn't he just another Epps? Why would any of you who talk shit about Epps non stop just want another Epps like WR on the team?

The IT guys have also been more bullish on Mukuba lately. Previously I assumed he was Clemson’s if they wanted him, and Texas if they didn’t, but maybe texas can legitimately  beat Clemson out for him

Herman has handled recent events arguably better than any other head coach in the country, and that likely matters with some recruits. Dabo has had a bad two weeks, and that might matter with some recruits. I have no idea if either of those are a factor for Mukuba, but the thought crossed my mind.

Also to me, Lemear is a different type of safety than Mukuba and Coffey, and so I think there's a chance that Texas would take all three
