There are no kid gloves with me. If I disagree with you, you will know in no uncertain terms. I give no shits about some nebulous standard of worthiness that you or any other poster has concocted. I have always been "articulate, but still will grab a n*gga by the collar quick."

Back to the matter at hand: there is no way a responsible athletic dept. would have stayed wedded to that albatross of a contract after it became clear what our home game situation would be. Many of those in positions of power to make those decisions, btw, are your peers, so spare us the lecture about some simpler, less materialistic time being purer. There was nothing chickenshit, dishonorable, or duplicitous about our decision to drop the series, and there really is no reasonable argument to the contrary, whether you like/agree with it or not.

This. Just no argument against this.

But I do agree with Hank (in an odd way) in the sense that the release of this news was a bit untimely. Why release it right after our Alabama prison rape? Most casual fans will see the headlines and instantly think "chicken shite" without actually looking up the actual reason of the cancelation. But at the end of the day, this type of news don't linger around in today's 48 hour news cycle so who gives a damn what Texas, LSU, or Bama fans think.
