Ehhh. One of those things we’d love if it was going our way. Everyone loves the pic of Gaulden flipping off the Bama fans. Not saying I like it but it is what it is. Don’t give up double digit sacks and then you can worry about the other teams celebrations.

Please explain how “it was going our way” when Gaulden flipped off those Bama fans. I remember that game being a blowout.

I could not care less if our team has an “attitude“ as they losing to everyone.

Nope. Never would have loved it and didn't like the Gaulden business. Very funny, though, that his teammate had to explain to him why the ref threw the flag.

It’s a snapshot of this generation. Kids constantly trying to catch attention with gestures.

It’s disgusting what they did. So yeah if the AD was sorry he would suspend them a game.

And what pisses me off me the most is that Heupel wasn’t good enough to make them pay for it with his class 3A in South Dakota HS play calling!!

I don’t mind celebrations and even some that are a little off color. Gaulden and his expression toward the Bama student section in my opinion was in this category. Acting as a dog whizzing or pretending to whip it out and whizzing on the field are cases that have gone way to far imo.

If they were truly sorry, they'd sit him a game. Truthfully, need to be able to fine them now that they are making money.

Right!? Did he even sit during the game any? I don't recall that even happening.

It was a dumb thing to do, but 20 year olds do dumb things. A lot of us just had the benefit of no cameras or cell phones following us around all the time to record our dumb stuff.

IMO that is totally different situations JMO but Gaulden saw Bama fans yelling at him. I dont know what slurs or whatever but it was a spur of moment reaction. Not saying it was right but it was a once in a season pick 6 where this was 1 of 5 sacks that at some point he made decision I'm going to do it. What the Texas LB did was practiced and choregraphed. Meaning with his low IQ he thought this was a good ideal. Some of the players are probably like great D End Dexter Manely who said after he won the Superbowl. He graduated from Oklahoma State and couldnt read nor write but he was an All American, so nobody cared.

Texas is low rent trash program with a coach who is a win at all cost guy. He will not punish those guys, the only reason anybody appologized is because of the higher ups telling them to. I hope they pull a stunt that costs them a game soon.

Like I said. It was great for your team when we acted out, but not so good when it’s not your team.

I don’t like it from either team, I’m just level headed enough to say both are wrong for it. You’re arguing and excusing for gaulden due to an “emotional pic 6”. Well 5 sacks in one game against what is supposed to be a good SEC team can be argued to be pretty rare as well.

Not the score, the action. Plenty on this forum loved when that took place. That is still a posted meme to this day on this site. Now they don’t love when opposing players are disrespectful.

I don’t like either. I’m just grown up enough to condemn both.

are you trying to compare flipping the bird to pulling your imaginary wang out and shooting on the field and smelling your crotch and passing out after you sniff it?

All of them, too many parents don't know how to be parents now, social media practically encourages discourtesy, and idols are not what they once were: Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers are long gone, unfortunately. In their place are female azz flashers, and males seeming to compete to see how foul-mouth, and uncouth they can be.
