FiddySicks Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 3 hours ago, BringBackTheVet said: The difference is that when “gay” was a thing (at least in my world), it was said in real conversations, and not posted on the internet for anyone to see, without context or tone. It’s easy for me to write off some things (not saying this one specifically, as I haven’t really read the old tweets), but for anyone that didn’t grow up in that era, it’s a little different, and the time stamp on the tweets doesn’t really matter if you’re reading them today, and are offended. If it were still a thing, I’d probably be pretty worried about someone digging up my old Myspace profile for fear of what dumb things I may or may not have put there. Not saying I was overtly racist/homophobic, but I’m sure there was some questionable language I wouldn’t be terribly proud of having to explain publicly. Also, along those same lines, these types of issues have to be taken on a case by case basis. I fell a lot more uncomfortable with people like Josh Hader posting things like “Gay people make me sick” when he was 17 than I do a 14 year old Kyler Murray tweeting “Y’all are queers lol” to his buddies. I’m not saying Hader can’t be redeemed and genuinely learn from his past mistakes, but that one has a much more obvious maliciousness to it than the other.

Seadragon76 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 First bowl game of the year and someone needs to tell the guys at CBS SN that it's Louisiana-Lafayette and not Lafayette on the down and yardage thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember whichever ESPN broadcasting their game at Arkansas State back in 2013 had Lafayette for their down and distance marker as well. I was originally annoyed by them trying to shoehorn themselves into the Louisiana name, but since ULM gave up that fight I figure I may as well go with it. It also pisses off La Tech fans, which is a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I could have sworn I read somewhere that Louisiana state law says that there can't be a university that is just the University of Louisiana. They have to have a geographical indicator.

People did that about 6-7 years ago as well, whenever they did their last big rebrand. To me it's about the same as REDBLACKS for Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels shoehorned and, to be honestly fair, it's not the actual name of the college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid the flagship campus of the University of Louisiana system come close to matching them in prestige and awareness.

dfwabel Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Insert your own joke... https://www.10tv.com/article/next-chapter-urban-meyer-teach-character-leadership-course-ohio-state Quote Urban Meyer says he plans to stay connected to the Ohio State University after coaching the Buckeyes for the final time in the Rose Bowl on Jan 1. In a one-on-one interview with 10TV's Dom Tiberi, Meyer said he will be co-teaching a character and leadership course at Fisher College of Business at Ohio State. Meyer also said he plans to work with Athletic Director Gene Smith in some capacity after his OSU coaching duties conclude. He plans to still be a part of the football program but says the role hasn't been defined yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chancellor wasn't the only person publicly commenting that 8 wins isn't good enough. Board of Regents Chair, billionaire and major benefactor, Tilman Fertitta said it too in 2016.

buzzcut Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 The First responders bowl is a salute to those who race to chaos when others race away. But not today, as after almost ten minutes, it got cancelled due to lightning. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.
