From what I hear the coach is only there for a few yrs anyway. He is close to retiring and he took the job to be able to retire at a higher pay rate than he was making at EC.... IT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY...

Can't argue with that. Everybody around EC and their brother knew he was leaving EC as soon as his daughter graduated. He understandably wanted a good school (EC) for her, then, open to any and all offers. Incidentally, EC paid him really, really well for a 2A school. I think the opportunity to coach Tremain Thomas here was a factor, too.

That logo was apart of their tradition. Simple fix, go back to the old logo. Fixed, carry on.

the article said the previous logo (which just said BALL) was in use for 2 years.  Somehow, I don't think 2 years constitutes a tradition, unless people have a short-term memory. 

That being said, logos don't win ball games.  Players and coaches win ball games.  Once the hitting starts, everybody will forget about the logo (at least until the game is over.)

A petition going around to fire a coach over a logo - that is good stuff.  I guess those people want to fire a head coach for winning too.  If this is all you have to complain about then you are in good shape.  A logo - WOW.

By the way on the new jersey right in the middle in front it says TORS - oh my gosh that has to go.  Start a petition.

The BALL logo wasn't their traditional logo. The Tor was. Not sure why an article wasn't written when the change to BALL came up two years ago.

The previous coach who changed the logo to BALL was not part of the same demography as TV.

If he wins (besides the game against Central) they will forget about whats on the helmet...

Might take a little time, but I don't think there is much "If" to it. I would call it "when", IMHO.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
