Note even one of WOS own posters (mat) alluded to T being a closet racist. We have to have zero tolerance across the board. Its shameful some of you are here defending racist slurs used against the African American student athletes at WOS by a white man.

The accusations @mat spoke of have been an issue for us. But I don't think he alluded to anything close to what you implied. At this point, you're literally beating a dead horse. Coach T has retired after recommending an African American man to replace him.

Was McNair literally speaking of "inmates"? NO, but it didn't matter. It was immediately and forcefully deemed a racist slur. If "inmates' is a racist slur, and Chain Gang is a racist slur, then "Suspects" is absolutely a racist slur Coach T used. Randomly ask anyone on the streets what a "suspect" is, and they will tell you its someone the police thinks committed a crime. Every single time.

That might be true, but not necessarily a black person that has committed a crime.

Is it a racial term if a black police chief uses the word "suspect"?

Still can't see how that word is racial. smh

Was T called out for Racism? 

Why not? 

Maybe because he's not a racist and everybody who knows him, knows that.  The "suspect" had nothing to do with kids on the team other than they were suspected of being able to play the game or not.  That's what he meant and that's ALL he meant.  51 years of coaching all races and you want to make something nasty out of him saying suspect or prospect?

A recent quote from Peevey in the Bum Phillips award story about hiring great support staff.

"If I'm the smartest person in the room, I'm in the wrong room."

Totally agree with this. I've always been more successful when the people I work with push me to be better. Bum Phillips was next-level when it came to understanding human nature and how he fit into it.

That's exactly why he recommended him, so this would be said. Very Methodical, T goes out with a trick play !

Your deflection fails. The word "suspects" is commonly used to identify a criminal in an investigation. You, I and everyone else knows that. "Suspects," once convicted, become "inmates", the exact word McNair used that caused the meltdown. All who live in the WOS ISD should rightfully take offense to a racially loaded term like "suspects" given the inordinately high incarceration rate of young black males. If "Chain Gang" is offensive, "suspects" certainly should be too. No way around that!

No one is yet willing to answer why T gets a pass. If T was a 0.500 coach, who goes out 1st or 2nd round, would he have still got the pass? Anyone want to man up (or woman up) and give a straight answer? Why has this question triggered the otherwise vocal WOS posters so badly?  T should not have called his players that racist term. 

  

 

Some of the WOS folks are hell bent on making sure this program is never successful again. It's a tragedy to watch.

LSU I the 60’s had a cool name for their defense, Chinese Bandits.  Just a catchy phrase, but it built unity and seem to aspire them to more intensity.

Read some great quotes on here, but I think most of us would agree that the absolute King of Quotes is Yogi Berra.  The guy was a veritable genius at using the English language.  We’re all familiar with the familiar ones (lol, me being Yogi) - it ain’t over till it’s over & when you come to a fork in the road, take it, but there are some great obscure ones that aren’t as familiar - half the lies they tell about me aren’t true & I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia, they can walk to school like I did.  Yep, old Yogi is the King!

    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
