We've been trying to keep that abduction thing under wraps for years now. We had a contract with some aliens and they were pretty efficient. But, it looks as though they used anal probes too often and some people are butt hurt.

I can honestly say that I would have graduated much earlier, I would have had much better grades, I would have went out in the job market much sooner if there was no football. A free ride is a Pell Grant, a need based scholarship, where you don't have to work. If you want to chastise someone, start with the millions of kids that get free grants. There is no free ride in D1 college athletics. Ask the college tennis player or swimmer. Football is a fukking job. It was fun in HS, college is business. You are absolutely nuts if you think it was free??? Much like slave wages but I don't want to get into that shite.


This is the truth, people don't like to acknowledge it but it's not a "free ride" it's school on exchange for a 40 to 60 hour a week job and it's not just in football, even in minor sports if you have an actual full ride you are going to be pushed at least as hard as you would be with a full time job- mandatory weight training, practices, meal time, etc "voluntary" off-season workouts where if you don't show up occasionally because you staggered you're school schedule so that you can take more credits in your less active semester you're screwed/pressured into a less challenging major, etc.

Ole baw didn't think through his demands really well before posting them. He gave mizzou until 2017 to get more black teachers in the classroom. By my watch he has 2 years of a hunger strike even if he were to get all his demands met. This dude sounds like a 5 year old trying to get his way.

it is racist to assume the person who did the swastika is white.


or rather, the radical left, black and white, these idiots included, are anti-Israel

They didn't think about that when they decided to initiate what is continuing to look like a hoax anyway.

He's probably eating a quarter pounder now. He doesn't have to miss a single meal. Mizzou is fukd.

I don't even have enough time or paper to address your free ride comment. Let me just say that I spent countless hours in the weight room, film room, practice and playing field where my work was not commensurate to my "free ride" pay. You are very misguided if you think a college athletic scholarship is FREE?

Not to mention, many years later, I have had numerous knee and back surgeries, short term memory loss from concussions, blurred vision, arthritis in most joints and migraines, etc., all due to football. The University never paid a dime to all my future medical issues nor took any responsibility. The University of Florida alumni doctor didn't give me a discount because I once played football. Thankfully, I was able to afford it on my own but I know many guys who can't.

Two days ago, I never would have dreamed Mizzou FB could get any worse.

Truly believe this stand by team is violating the terms of those on scholarship and Pinkel is stupid.

A real NO WIN situation.

No way I would cave to the demands of the players refusing to play just pull scholarships and move on. If rumors can be proven leader of school doing anti Semitic crap he can be removed along with the mob. This mob rule BS needs to be stopped.

I have never said that they should not be able to protest. I said they are acting like a lynch mob, using my freedom of speech to protest the substance of what they are doing. they could protest without demanding the school president be fired given he is not a racist and has not condoned racism. they are being aholes

does anybody really believe that they would boycott if Missouri had a shot to beat out Florida to win the division? lol so it is faux outrage, in my view.

being a man means you finish what you started, and they just don't want to finish out a bad season in my view.

seems clear from this statment

quote:

from Pinkel & Rhoades(AD)
"Today, Sunday, there will be no football practice or formal team activities. Our focus right now is on the health of Jonathan Butler, the concerns of our student-athletes and working with our community to address this serious issue. After meeting with the team this morning, it is clear they do not plan to return to practice until Jonathan resumes eating. We are continuing to have department, campus, and student meetings as we work through this issue and will provide further comment tomorrow afternoon."


Pinkel is giving in to any and all demands/conditions from the players and will not practice or "call for a practice" until they agree to it. So it's clear Pinkel IS NOT running the football program, it is running him, maybe he feels like he's back in the 60's at Kent St, protesting the war and kumbaya and shite, whatever, all I know is the team needs a leader at the HC job and he is not it.

For every day they "voluntarily" don't practice the coaching staff should have 20% of their remaining salary deducted so by the end of the week they are either working for free from here out or out the door.

The reason players are given a scholarship, free food, room, books, etc. is to play football. If they refuse, take their scholarships. It shouldn't even be a question.

The only question is why our AD and football staff are bending over like a bunch of retarded pussies.

Any coach that is this bent on giving in to the demands of some idiot campus radical over fictional conditions, is just too damn stupid to be trusted w/ a job that has a multi-million dollar salary attached to it.

Pinkel should be fired for being a pussy. Plus, he's siding with the "protesters" against his boss's boss. Not a good career move, especially when your record looks the way it does.

the Left's number one weapon is lying.

They lie their asses off every day for a living.

I've been searching "University of Missouri swastika" for off and on for a couple hours - no pictures of it

in the age of cell phones? GTFO
