That will happen.

I say Strong because he's the only one who maybe should have played more.

I think it is more likely that Dana Howard and Terry Hawthorne are planting these seeds rather than someone on our team.

Arkansas doesn't blitz very much and we rely on our front 4 to bring all the pressure. We do have some pretty good pass rushers there, but we play off the WRs with our secondary, usually giving them 7 yard cushions.

It's funny because that describes MU's previous defense that some fans are upset about transitioning from. I think any defense can be good if implemented and executed well with good players.

It seems our coaches are doing what they think is best for years 3-5. That is when they get extended or fired. They will play younger players and turn over the roster in a couple of years so that years 3-5 are set up. If they lose some games that shouldn't be early on, it just allows for more progress to be shown in subsequent years. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but seems to be standard operating procedures for new coaching staffs.

I don't know what the current rulings are on flag burning. If there are State or Federal laws that prohibit flag burning, then he can. If the only issue is 1st Amendment rights, then he can not. Basically government employees have to follow public policy.

Do people actually believe there could be a team rule that states players can not own a hand gun?

Well since this is happening at universities across the country since we enabled this type of behavior I am sure it would be easy to find an example of that if it were true. Unfortunately, it's not.

At what other school were the students dumb enough to set up their protest in a building that is in use? Trying to compare situations that have very little similarities is a waste of time.

quote:

---

They can peacefully protest all they want. As long as they are also living up to their obligations to the team and under their scholarship

---

What obligations did they not fulfill?

quote:

---

Using your logic, what if they refused to play because the student center has Pepsi and not Coke? Should they be allowed to skip games without repercussions because of their right to voice their opinion?

---

More of the bad examples that are not relevant.

quote:

---

I don't care as much as many that they skipped out on the program but I also wouldn't have had a problem if they were disciplined

---

To discipline them, are you punishing for the protest or the missed practice? I think one could be found unconstitutional and the other could be excessive. Either way would probably cost a lot of money in settlement. Running stairs seems more appropriate than pulling a scholarship.

If they had boycotted a game, the conversation would be different. We are discussing what happened. You and others have said they should be punished for protesting.

Anyway I will check in later, but I have to go...

You are confusing the outcome to the cause. The football team missed one practice, what should be the appropriate result? If you are disciplining because they said something on twitter, what should be the discipline?

You keep mentioning tangible effects that have outcomes that are easily measured. It is not that simple.

Punishing people for missing a test that has already been stated must be taken is different than punishing people for exercising their rights. Do you have any examples that are relative?
