  7. Cal at Texas

    in College Sports Forum

    Posted

    .....and this applies to Cal. vs. Texas how?

    i know nothing about Cal this year. I will let the gurus figure who is supposed to win. I pull for my Longhorns regardless. Anyone who does not like the Horns, there are several other threads to beat your chest on. 3 4 Horns fans and 3 4 Ags on this Texas thread. Go figure.

    I corrected you since AAW showed up

  11. CNN GOP Debate Predictions

    in Political Forum

    Posted · Edited by Eagle11

    I think guys like Cruz and Carson are staying quiet and laying low waiting for the fall of the Donald. His supporters will have to go somewhere and it will not be the ones that bash him.

     

    I think CNN is going to try to work over Trump because he is the one that has the Dems scared

    I always say... somebody is going to teach those kids about consequences.  It might be mom/dad, it might be a coach, it might be a judge.  But they WILL learn.  

    I grew up in a strict Church of Christ.......we had a preacher say many times in sermons....."kids, you will learn respect; it should be in the high chair but sadly for some it will be in the electric chair"

    One Chance, I know you do not try to justify their actions.

    Left Winger???.........laughable.........go to the political forum and see arguments there.

    Bottom line is, kids like these that lose it in "the heat of the moment" end up being the ones on TV 15 years from now for beating their wife because she argued with him and "in the heat of the moment" he lost it and beat the crap out of her. Or he is the one beating his kid in the Walmart parking lot on a video because the kid was crying because he/she wanted a toy but "in the heat of the moment" he lost it and started slapping them around. If, lord forbid, there is a slap on the wrist for this attack.......there will be more of it if the kid thinks they can get away with it.

    Thanks for the throw back to the 80's but that's two different kinds of "heat" in this situation :) and I am a child of your generation and I'm saying you play this game with passion and adrenaline. It is a violent sport and harsh at times. Again, no way condoning hitting a helpless receiver, I mean referee, but situations occur from a kids perspective that their young minds might be clouded and only seeing red. If you were brought up in the Kenny Rogers type household to turn the other cheek then you may see things differentlly but all are not as fortunate to be raised in that type environment. So all I'm saying is, until you've walked in them type shoes passing judgement is irresponsible. Bottomline, the kids made a harsh mistake and condeming them not even knowing their background and just stereotyping is wrong. Due Process.....   

    PlusOne, it is a violent game and you play with passion but a line was crossed no matter what may or may not have been said. CardinalBacker said it pretty well. I played ball and had I been involved in this I may as well not come home that night. Whatever coaches or anyone else had done to me, my daddy would have been the worst to face.

    You keep saying due process........I highly doubt it but lets say the official did say something negative, will you think their actions are justified? I do not think there is anything that can come out that justifies what I saw on the video.

    Plus one I stated the same thing at the beginning of this post and got crucified for stating the same thing.

     I never said I condoned the actions of the kids, but until you are placed in the same exact situation as the two boys were placed in (Which we don't know what exactly led to this and probably never will, because there are always two sides of a story and popular opinion automatically takes refs side) you don't know how you would react. You can hope that you would react differently and you can say what you would do in any moment until thrust into that situation you just really and truly don't know.

    The heat of the moment could possibly lead to after the game if your frustration levels and adrenaline are through the roof, again you just don't know until in that situation.

    I have not seen anywhere in a news article that says this is the first time for this to ever happen. It just got captured on video, same thing as Ray Rice. He would still be playing in the NFL if it wasn't on video, just like all the other idiots (Adrian Peterson) are.

    What if it was your child that did this? Would you want the legal system to get involved and lock them up? If you can honestly say you would want the book thrown at them then you have other issues.

    Hopefully for these boys they have a strong family support system and it is a life lesson for the both of them. I stated previously that we don't know anything about these boys. They maybe model citizens that have never gotten in any trouble, but I see where people automatically profile them because they are from the West Side of San Antonio, so they must be of low character.

    They are of low character no matter what side of whatever town.

    Heat of the moment was an Asia song in the early 80's not an excuse for assaulting an official. Heat of the moment is hitting an opposing player a couple of steps out of bounds or taking 3 steps to hit the quarterback after he has thrown the pass. What happened in that game was 2 kids mad at how the game had gone and conspired to take matters in their own hands.

  19. Patterson may be done at UT

    Those complaints have come from dozens of angry donors, including some of Texas’ top givers, sources said. Those donors feel Patterson is running UT like a cold, unfeeling pro sports franchise that views UT faithful as faceless customers – not passionate alums.

    As a result, 10,000 football season ticket holders didn't renew for 2015 after an average cost increase of 21.5 percent, coming off a 6-7 season and a five-year record of 36-28.

    Billionaire Houston trial lawyer Joe Jamail, 89, who has given tens of millions of dollars to the university and whose name is on the field at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium as well as UT’s swim center, canceled his suite at Texas football games this year.
