I don't think this is correct. You are talking about what happens with a vacated win. With a forfeiture, the other team is awarded a victory... but this won't happen. Mizzou will play and Tenn should win a close, low scoring game. Something like 23-13.

Someone posted the ncaa rule. It basically doesn't count as a game. They won't just notch UT with an extra win in the win column. If they did and it effected bowl selection, another team would have an argument that it's not fair if it overpasses them...

It's completely fair if Missouri refuses to play but that can't happen. Moot point, all around.

It's not a moot point because even their coach says they won't practice until the kid who is protesting by not eating finally eats. This is bigger than you are thinking. Now the administration is split. Pinkle is in support......

University first football second. They will not sack a president just coz football team is on strike. If there is a genuine reason to fire the president then so be it. But not coz a sports team is against a university president.

When you are born poor, to uneducated parents. Go to the poorest, worst performing school based on where you are zoned (because your parents live in a poor neighborhood) and are surrounded by more poor, uneducated people. And gangs ...and violence...that is a lot of adversity to overcome. Some will overcome, most won't. Regardless of skin color.

That problem is that the things I outlined are challenges that effect blacks more than whites.

Adversely, there may be challenges that are more prevalent to whites than blacks, and I do know that this is purely anecdotal....but I have never experienced one, and can't think of any that occur as often as the example I described above

The expectations in the family and the community have everything to do with it. That is where the negative thinking is initiated. No matter how much resources you use to change things it will not happen.

Regarding the record, remember UF only played 11 regular season games last season due to a storm that cancelled 1 of their easy OOC games. Luckily UT should be able to get bowl eligible on Sat. As far as bowl games go, there really isn't too much difference between 7-4 and 8-4.

If so, this is getting out of hand. I wonder how many people really know what the protest is over? I've heard the focus has shifted to more of a racial issue because, face it, that's an easy topic to rally around.

What did the univ. president do, or not do, to have the protesters demand his resignation? If he resigns, what does that prove or change?

This is a political war started by fringe groups and backed by the governor amd Pinkel. Nothing more and nothing less. It's mainly because of the healthcare and planned parenthood issues there....that's the real story.

This is a political assault led by Pinkel and company....

Remember? He drummed up the Michael Sam issue and exploited that as well! Pinkel is a thug......

I'm not gonna answer that preposterous question. But I will tell you some of the instances of racism I experienced in college.

First, I was constantly asked to show my ID to campus police when I was walking around campus. I thought this was normal for everyone till I asked my white friends and they said they never has any instances with campus police and the need to show ID.

Example of an individual racially profiling and not an example of systematic oppression.

Second, parties on campus were very segregated. The black frats would do their own thing on one part of campus white frats would do their own thing elsewhere. When I attended black frat parties there were always cops around. And there were metal detectors checking folks for weapons before letting us into an on campus party. Once again I thought this was normal till I decided to attend some white parties and saw no cops or metal detectors around.
Click to expand...

so the black frats brought in metal detectors to their parties and cops but you're blaming that on systematic racism? Also black and white frats having their own parties isn't evidence of systematic racism. Hell the existence of primarily black or primarily white frats aren't evidence of systematic racism. It's just people sticking to groups that are similar to them in culture.

And this doesn't include all the times I was asked around campus whether I played on the football or basketball team. FYI I was on academic scholarship.

Also not systematic racism. That's some people being stereotypical *******s but that's not a system put in place to specifically attack black people.

This is what black folks and especially black men have to deal with on predominantly white college campuses. We are not treated as part of the college community but rather as outsiders. I'm sure the kids at Missouri have similar experiences which is why they've rightfully demanded changes so they can feel as safe in campus as their white classmates.

In conclusion, you experienced some individuals committing individual acts of stereotyping and a black fraternity having metal detectors at the door and are equating all of this to systematic oppression of the entire African American ethnicity in America.

Mizzou will field a team and meet its contractual obligations. Will it be with the 32 guys on strike? Probably not, they can't lose credibility by crumbling and punking out and the school can't let football players run an administration.

Eating the free food
Still getting a free education
Wearing the free gear

Pinkel and Spurrier: Finding new ways to avoid a beat down by the Vols.



In all seriousness, it's interesting how the Mizzou football program continues to find itself on the frontpage of social issues. First Michael Sam and now this protest.

So black people are just more violent?

Statistically in the United states, black people are more violent. I'm not naive or racist enough to believe that it's by nature of black people being black. That's dumb and asinine. I do believe it's a deep seeded culture issue that needs to be addressed and many African Americans have identified this but when they point it out they get called uncle Tom and house ****** by the black community as a whole that's been indoctrinated by the left to believe they actually care about the issues surrounding the African American community.
