    It’s definitely endorsing violence. But I’m not a lawyer or into the semantics, just telling you why a university would not to allow a student to do that. It wasn’t my opinion on what they should do. 

    It’s not illegal speech like specific calls to violence but it’s so close to that line for the university to ignore it would be unwise.  I’m sure their legal team reviewed that interaction and said no thanks. 

    You have no fucking clue what you're talking about and so plainly betray that you don't give a flying fuck about freedom of speech.

    Do you realize how stupid you sound?

    After a rewatch of the game (I’m a masochist I guess) what struck me outside of Arch’s ineptitude was just how many plays one or more of the OL or TEs block absolutely nobody. On pulls, on kick outs, on regular ol inside zone, they manage to find nothing to do. How is that possible? Unsurprisingly the main culprits were Stroh and Hutson.

    You have to assume that Kibble, Cruz, et al, are just garbage as well.

    And spare me the "its only their second year in the program!" bullshit.

    If they can't outperform Stroh and Hutson - who themselves are performing at bottom of FBS levels - then we don't really have much hope for them going forward.

    Neither side thinks the either is worth a flip. In a society where it's common to go no-contact with your family, why not with people you don't know but only share a flag with?

    Weird response to a quote from POTUS when "the other side's" politicians have done nothing but call for unity and an end to violence on both sides.

    If someone who mocked an assassination later acted violently, and the institution had done nothing, they could be sued for negligence.

    Universities probably have "zero tolerance" policies toward speech that is threatening or endorsing violence.

    Calling for violence isn't the same as expressing a contradictory opinion

    I'm not sure if the girl should've been kicked out or not, but if they knew about this incident and didn't do anything they could be held liable. 

     

     

    you have no idea what you're talking about. this is utterly fanciful.

    OR, we design a number of plays to get Arch out of a shaky pocket, on the move, or misdirection plays to expose an over pursuing defense.  Can I get one GD bootleg.  Can we get receivers in the flat.  Screens.  Something to get the ball out quickly, gain a few yards, and set up a few 3rd and shorts.  

    You mean like the first play of the game against OSU when he threw it 7 yards in front of a wide open Wingo?

    What’s the point of watching Arch have another bad game. He’s going to magically do a 180 this week? I don’t buy it. I’d start Caldwell next week. He’ll need the reps for Fla and OU. 

    I don't buy it either, but if it's not an injury then it's 100% a mental thing, that could, in theory, solve itself. Different than a QB who has never shown anything to be positive about. Of course, this could be a thing he can't shake in which case, we're proper fucked.

    Lacey would get fucking killed and be a turnover machine with this oline and wr group. Caldwell is the only real option and he was already turnover prone playing against a bunch of scrubs. There’s not another option on the roster at the moment. It is what it is

    I'm not advocating for him as next man up, just highlighting that I honestly don't think it would get much worse. The o-line does suck, but there were plenty of plays where Arch had time and a pocket and missed his receiver by 3 yards.

    Who?

    How should we know? But arguing that no one better is on the roster at the moment is an affirmative claim that of the four rostered quarterbacks, none are capable of completing basic slants, screens, outs, and - well, just about every conceivable throw on the field - whether covered or wide open. Nor are they capable of recognizing wide open receivers, even when that receiver was the first option and they're staring right at him. That's the current situation with QB1.

    Lacey being told, "throw to option 1 , or throw it away" would yield better results than what we're seeing with Arch.

    At this point I've stopped being foolish enough to think we've hit rock bottom. Less disappointment that way. This is decades of ignored issues in America coming home to roost and it's gonna take decades to unfuck 

    Same. I just look for the schadenfreude and the humor in the absurdity where I can find it. Kinda like a protagonist in a Soviet-era, Russian novel.

    It's all designed to make you angry and/or scared so you'll keep watching and they'll sell ads.  Some time ago, I disconnected from all of it with the idea of there's literally nothing i need to know RIGHT NOW.  Legacy 24 hour news is just crap.  But sometimes, I get you have to just throw it on (I haven't gotten there yet though).

    Same. Also off Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and no more subscriptions to NY or LA times. I haven't watched news of any kind on TV for a couple of years now.

    But honestly, my reflexive opening up Surly every 15 mins is a problem. I'll go through periods where I intentionally avoid DT (board for culture issues)and CR (politics and culture issues) but I lack the self control to really stay away. The nights when I'm on my couch with a book are ALWAYS so much more enjoyable than the phone, but I lack the discipline

    It's strange that people forget that the far right calls anyone they consider to the left of them facists too.

    They don't forget, they ignore. Like the dozens and dozens of posts over the last several days detailing political violence from the right and demonization of the left as scum, cockroaches, and vermin.

    And then their next post is "gosh, why is the left so violent? Why does the left have so much hate?"

    Etc., etc., etc.

    It's classic Internet trolling but for some reason we have to keep acting like they're posting in good faith.
