SPorts Huddle: Jerry Kill - 4/3/11

At least since the 8th and 5th Century BC.

"The quote may have come from Plato's Republic Book 4, where Socrates
is quoted saying the following regarding things that he thinks have
been neglected: "I mean such things as these: ? when the young are to
be silent before their elders; how they are to show respect to them by
standing and making them sit; what honour is due to parents; what
garments or shoes are to be worn; the mode of dressing the hair;
deportment and manners in general.
You would agree with me? ? Yes."


Here's another one:
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond
words
... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and
respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise
[disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" (Hesiod, 8th century BC)."

Turns out Hesiod blamed Bewster and Maturi!

Game, Set, Match.

Case closed.

It's the same, recycled things that have been trotted out for thousands of years.
 


So by those standards in about 2500 -2800 years college football will collapse. It will be announced in Sid's column.

Jerry Kill would have defeated the Roman legions and run the score up on the Ottoman Empire.
