I still remember that press conference for B1G media days when he said the school was in Los Angeles. Seemed over his head well before the first game.

I didn't mean they would "pass us" and end up in the next tier. I meant they could get back to beating us on a regular basis and finishing higher in the final standings than we do. Sure, we'd both be in the same tier, but they'd be better than us again.

Don't get me wrong, the Fleck era is waaaay above the Brewster era, but I will give Brew credit for changing things up. Maybe he messed with Weber's development with a new OC almost every year, but I'd prefer if Fleck was to give up on Harbaugh and admit someone else needs to try the job...

Yep, in that kinda situation it's hard for everyone to know their responsibility. Didn't work for Aubrun in that recent Iron Bowl - 'bama completed a 4th and 33!

Meh. He seems to be fine hitting wide open receivers, especially close to the line of scrimmage. But the first two downfield passes against oregon state probably shouldn't have been thrown - the WR was covered. Just luck that it got completed both times. I didn't see anything special whatsoever.

I'm not sure that sitting them on the bench would give us better odds of keeping them. Play 'em while you got 'em.

Since we're no longer talking Shedeur, I'd add that I don't think 75% of the people I graduated public high school with would have been able to go back, as 18 year olds with a public H.S. diploma, and pass 8th grade in the Catholic school I attended. My 3rd grade book reports in Catholic school...

Nice post! I disagree on Kaepernick a little, as I thought that the NFL just didn't want a distraction that was turning fans out (similar to how they got on Tebow for genuflecting after TDs). But at the same time, there are probably owners out there that might be a certain shade of Sterling...

Time to call it a day, but I gotta admit, the discussion here was FAR more civil than if this was on tOTB. Thanks for that, to posters on both sides of the discussion. :drink:

"The Deja Vue Red (light) Zone" does have a better ring to it. ;)

There is some truth to the bolded. Every time I'm driving at night and I see someone strictly adhering to the speed limit whilst everyone else passes by at 5-10 mph over, it's pretty obvious who doesn't wanna take the breathalyzer.

Excellent post. This part I wanted to highlight. I know of multiple people who had legit asylum claims because they were legitimately being tortured and threatened with death for their religious views. They were given asylum here and rightly so. It's a slap in the face to them and others...

People talk trash all the time on social media, typically when they are fired up. I don't think it's a good sample to take. Plus, it says something about a person to waste their time on social media like that. So I'd think, but I could be wrong, that you're looking at a small sample size...

Which one? Edison Tommie here.

Can we sell naming rights to just the red zones? Kinda like naming the field after someone, but instead of the whole field and it being "free" as an honor to that individual, it would be paid for and their logo colored into the grass?

I tend to think it's going the other direction. Growing up and having spent most of my life in Mpls, I can definitely tell you there was racism in the '80s (earliest I can recall due to age) that certainly does not exist now. Small sample size? Maybe. But other metropolitan areas must be...

Also, wasn't Deshaun Watson the first to get a fully guaranteed contract? With the mess surrounding him in Houston, it would have been easy for teams to pass on him and say, "it's not his skin color, it's the massage issues" yet someone still wanted him with the baggage.

Or ask the student section to finish the chant, "The Gophers have entered the ____" and they yell out the rest?

Can we call it the "maroon" zone???

It won't be "solved". Just like you mentioned there will always be people with biases, there will also always be a) people who feel the need to fight for a cause, and b) people who are attracted to the victim mentality. When they gravitate towards one another.... Edit: this wasn't directed at...
