This whole event stemed from a loss of health care benefits for grad students?

Yup.

But the President did run over him with his car.

Maneater timeline of events.

Essentially, a rich guy is pissed that grad students lost their health care, so he goes on the offensive. Using systemic racism as a ploy.

The faculty jump on board as an excuse to dump the leadership they don't like.

Football team is co-opted into the bullshite by being fed a bullshite story about hunger strikes and unity.

Race issues are now worse at the university, and the very group fighting for the cause create a segregated environment on campus so the can "decompress and be real".

Congrats, you have managed to take someone who supported your rights when this began and completely turned him against your cause and everything you stand for.

This was never about "systemic racism", it was about losing benefits, distention in the ranks of faculty, and creating more subversion on campus in the name of social activism.

This is all made up bullshite. I can't believe anyone is still buying this load of shite.

I very much enjoyed you before all of this started, in time I still may.

But with all of this bullshite you spouted off when this was first getting started my only instinct is to hate you and be hurt by your words.

I made an assumption that there were real problems on campus.

I'll maintain that assumption, the world isn't a perfect place.

I also felt that Wolfe didn't get in front of things in a timely fashion. I see now that he was a bug on the windshield of a Mack truck driven by faculty and activists.

He never had a chance.

Whatever problems exist or existed on campus, there are now a whole new set of problems.

So, these new problems will create more "activism", in the name of "activism".

And around and around we go.

I've swung around on this issue 180 degrees, it's not about what the masses think it's about. It's not about bringing light to social problems and affecting change, it's about creating more social problems and divisiveness in the name of activism.

Real poverty and systemic racism in inner cities and institutions isn't going to go away because a rich kid started a protest at a university. None of this addresses any of the real problems going forward, it just creates new ones.

That's what this group wants. No solutions, only problems.

I accept your apology

That wasn't an apology.

I still think you're a baby back bitch for becoming a Tennessee fan at the drop of a hat.

You and kills' shuckin and jivin act to incite the rant mob was nothing short of pathetic, but I get it, emotions were high.

Perhaps I'll forgive you someday as well.

I'm ready to get back to football and, god forbid, basketball talk now. Except with you, you're a Tennessee fan.

You can always follow the money. In the uproar, that was forgotten. Very well played by the protesters. Very well played.

The protesters insist they didn't reach out to the football team. But I did see that Payton Head and Anthony Sherrils are fraternity brothers. Not sure what other players may be Alphas, but that's a connection - Payton to the protesters, Sherrils to the team. That may have nothing to do with it, but it's a possibility.

I don't doubt that there may be some racial issues on campus - there are on most campuses. But I think it's far from the hotbed of oppression it's being painted.

And the real tragedy here? People who would be sympathetic are now extremely skeptical. Racism is evil. But like girls who falsely claim rape hurt all victims of sexual assault, these protestors are really hurting those who are actually oppressed.

I was just messin', kinda.


I know it's hard for you to see that you were a pawn in their faux outrage. Most of those guys want to see our program go back to the stone ages, they likely don't give a shite about the real issue at hand.

Letting the hate flow through you was pure schadenfreude for them, nothing else. Make no mistake, they are enjoying the hell out of this, and would like nothing more than for us all to become a shattered and divided team/school/fanbase.

Just as I refuse to fall for the bs at Mizzou, I refuse to fall for the bs around here. No one has our best interests in mind except us.

I just think the narrative would be different for most of those guys if this was happening at any other school. Except maybe aTm.

Sure, they'd be upset at the overall story/conspiracy, but they probably wouldn't be making threads about kicking (insert school here) out of the sec.

I made a comment in a thread a week or two ago about Loftin and said that leftists, SJWs, and PP wouldn't ruin our football team, shitty coaching would.

I stand corrected. Both have conspired to ruin things this season.

I'll choose to keep the faith though, I don't have as much invested in Mizzou as some of you, so maybe it's easier for me to move on and just get back to caring about sports.

I'm looking forward to seeing if this team can come together on the field, not just this year but next year too.

That's what being a fan is I guess, right?
