re: What justification are tPTB giving for sticking through this?

While we’re complaining about things, the PA announcer has annoyed me several times this year by calling out the wrong name. Said Deon Stewart was returning a kick, Dorian Gerald made a tackle, etc. against Auburn. It’s like he doesn’t get there are multiple players with the same number.

Even most random fans in the stands know our players.

I am a proud Believer and have no problem hiring a coach with problems/past. As there Is nobody perfect. I don't want an active cheating program as OM was doing however. Just because I believe it to be wrong period.

It isn't because I think I am better than anyone, but is because of basic ethics I was raised with and inherently have.

Is making millions off the backs of 12-22 year olds while they don't see a dime of it ethical?

If you would openly cheat bigly in football, would you cheat on your wife and family, cheat in business with a friend, cheat in anything else.. Where is the line that you would not cross?

Maybe, maybe not. I don't really care what our coaches do in their private lives

Whole other subject, however... since you opened the can of worms. I wouldn't have a problem with some payment program for all Football Players, etal.

But we have been through this prior... others, no you specifically.

Scholly, Living expenses, Stipend, Clothing, for a college student is pretty good in my book. My masters degree was many thousands of bucks. Would have loved the opportunity myself.

Lol. Yep, poorly treated slaves they are

It's going to get brought up when people go on and on about upholding ethics in the sport, yet froth at the mouth at the idea of paying players for their labor.

let me refute something for just a minute please.

I realize that my statement was hyperbolic. I was simply alluding to a very real mentality within our administration, and a certain segment of our fanbase. Not all are like this, but the ones that make the decisions truly feel this way. If you can't see that from the last 7-8 years then you arent paying attention (I know you do get the overall theme of what I am saying) the problem is we also have fans who have adopted this mentality, or naturally come with it. Then stroke the decision makers ego's by agreeing with them.

This weak mentality has now lead us to being the worst p5 team in the country. It isn't just chad that is unacceptable. It is the mentality that lead to him being hired over better coaches due to PR fears.

If we want any chance of ever being anything more than what we are currently. We have to rid ourselves of the culture/mentality that lead us down this path of destruction. It is time to start being cut throat, slimey, and pushing the envelope. Instead of being scared some arse hat on deadspin writing a not so flattering article just prior to us beating our opponents asses. then later those same writers sucking us off.
