We argue about all kinds of things up in here, and many times schools are criticized for how they honor their teams, and individuals.

You can bring up your own school or another one, doesn't matter.

Florida:
Good - Heisman statues

Bad - Steve Spurrier - Florida Field

Either leave it alone or change it. It sounds like a hyphenated last name which I hate.

Good moment: Um....

Bad moment: Giving Jimbo that frigging--idiot-of-an-idea trophy. I'm having a hard time not swearing with this one. Ugh. What a loser move.

Bad for UF: Not claiming our vacated SEC title even though everyone else in the conference still claims whatever they had vacated

Great:

Cody Schroeder representing everything good about college football.

Awful:

Weak university leadership folding like a cheap folding chair to a bunch of race-baiting frauds over “racism” in 2015.

Bad: When Bill Laurie donated $$$ for the basketball arena, but insisted on his daughter's name (Paige) to be on the court and for it to be called Paige Arena. She didn't even attend Mizzou! He just wanted her fricking name on the building/court.


Good: Thankfully, she was caught cheating at school, we immediately referred to the arena as The Plaige and the Laurie's backed off that stupid bullshite. Thanks for the $$$ Bill, but that was some fricked up bullshite.

Good Have to go way back. 3 consecutive SWC football titles in the 80s

Bad 77-0 to OU. Only time I have ever seen an Aggie team give up.

Good - Campbell-Williams Field

Bad - baseball having only Roger Clemens’ number for 20 something odd years based on pro success despite the fact that he wasn’t even the best pitcher at Texas when he was there (Calvin Schiraldi was)

Hopeful - they recognize Mack Brown and Rick Barnes once they retire for good
