College Football - Bowl Games

I'm all for second chances as well, so I'm glad he got to play again, but my issue was that Mixon didn't seem very remorseful given how he was responding to the crowd and with his teammates laughing and fake punching him. It all seemed rather tone deaf.

he also wasn't really punished in the first place. A suspension from playing college football as a freshman for punching a lady in the head? A regular joe could have been punished far more harshly. His status as a football player protected him. That was his second chance.

 

The guy is obviously a piece of crap and was in the wrong, but I lay most of the blame for him coming back and being allowed to play to the following parties:

 

1. Law Enforcement. Basically no legal punishment. He gets charged/convicted of a felony and that's a hell of a lot bigger thing to explain for the following responsible parties.

2. Bob Stoops. He tells the president he can't put up with that stuff and he's gone. No AD/president is going to overrule a legendary coach trying to kick a player off of his team, no matter what.

3. The AD/President: Have some balls and overrule your coach once in a while.

 

Now, if OU had booted him, he probably would have gotten another chance somewhere and I'm sure that's why they kept him, but have some semblance of a horsefeathering backbone. But, what's the kid supposed to do, just quit and not take the free scholarship and eventual millions? The lack of remorse from him is incredibly troubling, though, and based on many other cases, he will do it again and end his career like the piece of crap he is.

So college football.

 

That's the problem. Being a football player gave him a 2nd chance most people would not get. It's not like law enforcement decided on their own not to do much, they did so because of college football and all the scumbaggery that surrounds it.

 

People who have an issue with those that still bring up this "2 year old issue" completely ignore the fact that college football is what allowed him to skate.

Yep. The whole thing is a cesspool. You reap what you sow. I highly doubt much changes anytime soon, if ever.

Good game but the pace of play is horsefeathering brutal

Bama's offense is not very good. If they can't run the ball, they've got very little.

[soccer10k]

Well that was a fun game.

Real shame that Dabo got to win.

Skip turned into an unfortunate joke a few decades ago. How he still gets a paycheck is beyond me.

[MarkR]

Real shame that Dabo got to win.

Why?

[SouthSideRyan]

 

 

I swear he does it on purpose.

[Derwood]

I'm glad I stayed up for that.

 

And yes, Skip is a professional troll. As are Cowherd, Mariotti, etc.

[ConstableRabbit]

 

 

I swear he does it on purpose.

What? Of course he does.

What? Of course he does.

 

I mean intentionally takes opposing viewpoints so idiots like me get angry at his inconsistency and embed his tweets and never watch his show.

There's that (though nearly every coach opposes paying their players because they really don't care about their players and know they'd be getting paycuts).

 

Then there's not even investigating his players being accused of calling opponents the n-word, defending those players and blaming the media: http://www.thestate.com/sports/college/acc/clemson-university/article117715613.html

 

Then there's this:

(Also people need to quit pretending like the whitewashed version of MLK is accurate.)

 

Also this is weird at a state school, though I'm guessing it's probably common throughout the Bible Belt:

 

In 2012, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was baptized in a livestock trough at the 50-yard line following a practice. Swinney has team chaplains and “voluntary” chapel services.

 

Oh yeah, he's a persecuted white Christian male in the South:

 

“I’m a Christian,” Swinney tells his recruits, according to the Chronicle. “If you have a problem with that, you don’t have to be here.”

 

Let's be honest, most colleges coaches are horrible people. But unlike Dabo, we can only assume that of most coaches.
