I just think its absurd that old whites dudes think they should tell the young black athletes in whom they invest so much emotional and financial capital how they should be acting. It's definitely paternalistic and maybe just a little racist.

It’s also absurd for 18-20 year olds to be bitching about massive organizations not making changes fast enough for their liking while the changes are being worked on, and it’s fair to be annoyed at said 18-20 years for bitching about it

Heading over to the CR to see if there's any recruiting news.

 

Using the ignore button has been helpful too...

Actually it would be absurd if they were 40 yr olds.  18-20 yr olds probably don't understand what needs to happen to get these things done and if history is any guide they are being wary of those in charge offering platitudes to appease them while hoping this will blow over.

They're not telling anyone how to act or think. They're saying "if you want to continue to make hundreds of millions of dollars off of our athletic achievement then do these things or we won't play". Try paying attention next time.

Am I not paying attention?   That seems like telling someone how to act.

They are giving them a choice.  The administration can choose to go whichever way they want, but there are consequences to the decision.

Maybe TPTB should tell them the road map. Maybe they already have. We don’t know what’s been said and promised by when and by whom.

Not recruiting, but this thread could use a break...

Hearing some number changes for a couple players:

  • Josh Thompson from 29  to  9
  • Jordan Whittington from 21  to  3

I’d understand this if the 18-20 year olds weren’t bitching about changes not being made within a week of the initial complaints

That's essentially how any interaction in society works.  Those with power dictate terms.  Your employer tells you how to act.  Whether they have enough power to make their demands is the deciding factor if something happens.  Since the players bring in a lot of revenue, I'm going to guess that almost all the demands will be met.  Also who is the "them" they telling how to act?  I doubt CDC or Hartzell give a shit about keeping anything the same.

What is someone told you it has been more than three weeks since their request?  Would you still consider them "bitching?"

So you were "understanding" until the perceived one-week bitching event.  Now after more than 3 weeks are you back on team "understanding?" Or should those 18-20 year olds wait another 3 weeks to be blessed with your "understanding?"

I understand you are upset.  When you say "ASAP" are you referring to the one-week bitching event you perceived, to today (over three weeks from their request), or are referring to another three weeks into the future?  It's only fair our student athletes know exactly when they can get your "understanding" since it is vitally important.

Everyone knows if you want real change you ask POLITELY one time and then just wait to see what happens. Maybe you send a follow up email after a couple of months, but that’s it.

Fuck Farrell... 

 

fuck that guy. 

I’m all for this talk and I hope it continues to be the narrative. I hope it just keeps escalating. 
 

Riley hasn’t coached a single QB in his career, as OC or HC, that he developed from recruit to starter. 

Rattler struggled turning the ball over in practice against the shitastic OU DBs. It’s not a new problem for him. 

Rattler threw 33 INTs in 42 high school games. Sam threw 9 in 26, Baker threw 8 in 29, Kyler threw 16 in 32, and Hurts threw 7 in 16. 

Rattler is going to put up some stats but anyone expecting him to be a step up for OU in QB play is making some huge assumptions.

FWIW — OU played in 6 one score games last season and Hurts never threw more than 1 INT in any game.

im hoping the whispers about what a douche he is comes to full bloom in  the season. Kyler almost went there with his exchange with Sam after the shootout, and his crying jag post game. 

but i want full on meltdown. team implosion. public discord. dogs and cats living together. is that too much to ask for?

He looks like one of those video game character creators when you fuck with all the settings too much and can't quite make it back to looking like an actual person.

Did he recruit Shane Carden at ECU?

Not really. I mean - very indirectly but not by choice or by eval. Riley wanted Hutson Mason.

Holgo essentially told Ruffin to take Carden, so McNeil signed him. BJ Symons had been working with Carden so he already knew the Leach offense, drills, everything.

so... kind of gets half credit almost but not really. I guess.
