It's ok..I'm sorry I brought it up. My nephew gets called that a lot. It really bothers him, which causes it to bother me. I think it is because he has always felt stuck between two worlds.

Our mixed kids are always called black with us and we treat them like our own. They get called the Honey Badger when they are kids. Wonder if he would be mad at that tag/nickname? Lol

Interestingly enough.....The threads and the stripes on the football.....in other words, the parts that help you control the ball....are white. Coincidence? I think not.

Maybe he figured lightning couldn't strike twice.

I'm not sure why he'd think Medley was a good counter though. His career long is 47. Nothing against the kid, but I don't know anyone who has confidence in him much beyond 40--let alone 50+.

His two kicks at UF last year had the distance and were just inches off line.

I have a niece that just married a Haitian also. Our family is extremely eclectic and I'll ask him about that.

They were a bad football team. Little offensive talent. No QBs.

Michigan recruiting rankings (247 composite)

2011 - 26
2012 - 6
2013 - 4
2014 - 20

they had talent.

Like I said, Harbaugh is a good coach, you don't almost win a super bowl without being a good coach, but he had a lot to work with when he got to michigan.

As much as I dislike him, I'm more impressed by what Franklin is doing at PSU. I heard on the radio the other day that he had 41 scholarship players when he took over there.

The only reason I respond to this stuff is because there are so many whining about Butch and praising Harbaugh, acting like Butch should have been in the NC discussion in his second year, but the reality is that the situations they inherited were much different.

I still question some of Butch's decisions but I'm proud of where the program is now compared to where it was when he took over.

This may sound harsh but tell your nephew not to be so sensitive. ERRBODY needs to stop being so sensitive. We complain about kids/teenagers/millenials being so soft these days but we still keep raising them to be soft. Sometimes kids just have to suck it up because most will get made fun of or picked on at some point in their life for something.

It has already made him tough. That doesn't mean it doesn't bother him. You are right to a degree. But I don't think people should just go around dropping N bombs, or other equivalents either.

I'm stoked we beat Georgia, and I think the better team won. But to call a hail Mary play anything other than lucky is just dumb. It's a lot different than a receiver catching a TD on a designed route where (Foreman) plays awful defense.

When I watch that play, it looks to me like the receiver didn't think Eason could make the throw he did, either.

Recruiting rankings would also suggest Butch took over a top 25 team. He didn't take over a scrub team but they weren't loaded.

Never slip up, rarely get injured, recruit whoever they want every year, Derrick Henry's 2015 Charger, oh, and not to mention the store in Alabama selling player autographed memorabilia

And they look like the 90s Cornhuskers teams. Remember all those HS nobody OL and DL that played like All AAs till they went to the pros and disappeared?

I'm a middle aged bald white man. People like to remind me of that all the time. It sucks, but the fact is, I'm a middle aged bald white man.

To make matters worse, I don't even have a safe space to go to because it's my own wife who likes to remind me the most. :cray:

Older than dirt is not middle aged....
