What? Lol. I couldn’t imagine playing against someone who had F my team on it. We would for sure injure him and tell him to shut the f*** up while doing it. Has nothing to do with being in the south, it’s about respect. One thing to be competitive and talk s*** during a game, it’s another to be blatantly disrespectful and complete douche. Your takes are something else some times.

You would intentionally injure someone bc they had some words written on their fingernails that hurt your feelings? LOL wow. Some of y’all only played sports in the burbs and it shows

 

[drvenner]

That’s cool but it’s not a college QB’s job to be a role model for your grandkids

It might not be his job, but he is in the public spotlight and should know some grandkids are watching.

I think society is well past the age of being decent in the public spotlight (even in arenas where decency used to almost be a pre-req). But I get the sentiment.

I would say that society is pretty far past it. I am just saying that I personally have more respect for those who know they are in the public spotlight and act like what I perceive to be a responsible adult.

I don’t see any way around it unless OSU finds a way in the playoffs, or unless the Orange has the option to choose who it would have originally taken if the Rose had not executed the infamous “cluster clause” (honestly, I don’t know how that all works).

AP said rose bowl is only bowl with that clause. Every other bowl tie in is iron clad. UT will be in the cotton bowl.

Thanks Ron

Well he’s not old enough to purchase alcohol legally so I wouldn’t exactly consider him being in the prime of his best decision making years of his life

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Seems crazy to put money on a "fun exhibition". To each his own I suppose.

Anything. Not worth watching, becomes worth watching If I have money on it. Ex.... i would never watch the NBA without betting on it.

 

[Vol464]

Omg quit making that a big deal. It was on his nails not on a cape in 90 point font. If someone didnt happen to grab a shot with a telephoto lens no one would even know about it.

Friggin Nancies.

I’m not a nancy you’re a nancy.

Where’s ESPN reporters when you need them???

That will be reported on next spring, it will run across the bottom of the screen late at night....during bowling.

You literally have zero clue what you are talking about. I went to a high school in Atlanta where being white was a minority and throwing up a funny gang sign would get you jumped or worse. I played soccer at Georgia Southern and we absolutely would target some players. Doesn’t mean always injure, but you would be scared to touch the ball most of the game. Do you see what people do to Pulisic? Think that’s by accident with always pushing him and hard tackles? It happens everywhere. My neighbor played linebacker at UT and told us about Chavis yelling at them at half to take a certain runningback out who was killing us during a game. Guess what happened in the second half, the player got a bad ankle sprain on a tackle. If you think players aren’t targeted, you are surely mistaken. Just because it isn’t obvious to your eyes, doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to knock someone out. Lol at the burbs comment.

Society is definitely getting to the point where "F***" on fingernails, "F*** (Your Presidential Candidate)" on a flag at the end of a driveway, and "F*** Your Feelings" on t-shirts is becoming normalized. I'm not ready to accept it and I'm glad others are willing to say it's not ok. We've been constantly redefining decency for the last 100+ years, but I think that's one of many red flags that we're heading towards the movie Idiocracy becoming reality. That's coming from someone who admittedly is more liberal on social issues. Anyways...stopping there before I insult each political side when it comes to decency and get deleted/banned.

Go Vols!

 

[Vol464]

Show me where I told others how to feel?

If your kids look up to him, that’s your fault, no? Rather unfair for you to put that responsibility on a 20 year old (not sure how he actually is) who has never met your kid.

Where did I say anything about kids looking up to him? I just said that some parents wouldn't want their kids to see it. Believe it or not, some of us parents with really young kids don't want them to see that word yet. What's radical about that?

Some ppl sure did make a big deal about what tebow put under his eyes

at least he didn’t put Santa Claus on there

 

[SweetasSoda]

Anyone is certainly welcome to judge him for it. But it’s not his responsibility to be a role model for kids, that’s all.

Love HH. Awesome, awesome dude.

Think you misunderstood. He’s not a role model because he’s an athlete. Everyone should be a role model for kids. And I understand people do not want to be.

 

[LadyVolette]

Yes, but ideally they would be… but we lucked out with some of our recent QBs at UT.. I think it’s kind of the lens/comparison we use subconsciously

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Buffalo is gonna screw around and lose to Akron. . . just took the lead over Akron 17-16 in the 3rd.

Well, if you purpose to act like a troll, don't get surprised when people pile on you.

He just admitted to intentionally trolling the board for 2-3 years. Which is a bannable offense. There is no functional distinction between intentionally trolling for years and "being" a troll. Maybe he should stop digging?

I stand by my statement that you’re weak if you intentionally injure someone bc they wrote some mean words

Kids should be careful when picking anyone as a role model. Very few can live up to what many think of them especially if they are a public figure . SOME are what they appear to be but VERY few.

Pretty much what I took out of it. I've pretty much passed and repassed with him, but if he's admitting to trolling the board for years because he got his nickers bunched a bit ago, I take my "JK" back. He should probably live up to his promise and just go.

 

[UTProf]

That baseball clip of Helton, great hitter. but.... we were so boring. That's what others want from Vitello. Thing is... the only time I've ever watched an inning of UT baseball despite having friends on the team was during the Vitello era.

Yah. Kids should make good decisions. Adult college QBs shouldn't take responsibility for what they choose to write on themselves as they go on national TV. (Not directed at you.)

Akron

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Why don't we just go ahead and start talking politics?

I feel like I'm staying just below the red line, but I would welcome the powder-keg if you want to light it. Would be fun to watch.
