Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[HankHill]

Any early reports on freshman looking impressive?

“Jimmy Holiday and Callaway. Slaughter as well.” - Price

Thought callaway had the best tape of all the incoming WRs. Think he will fill the physical slot roll that Jennings thrived in.

 

[drvenner]

No. Should people have consequences for wearing che shirts? A dictator who killed his own people?

Are they leaders of men?

I agree. Everyone talks about Hyatt and rightfully so, but I think Callaway will end up being the best receiver out of our last class

I was watching the office the other day and thought about how there's no way a show like that could be aired on TV today. Sad how the world is now

Freedom is dead.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Any Mel Brooks' fans? Imagine how Blazing Saddles would play today. They'd be burning down theaters.

What is really stupid is that Blazing Saddles is absolutely torching real racism.

Wideman, imo

 

[Jimmy Football]

OK, yes. Should Gundy have a consequence from wearing that DA shirt?

Is there a limiting principle to all of this? Without getting into an argument about whatever “OAN” is, I’m not sure I can see one yet in the midst of our current cultural realignment.

For example, I think I heard that Texas got wind of vandalism threats to the Alamo over the weekend. In light of this, should Pruitt take care not to wear gear that sports “The Rifleman” logo?

And I’m not trying to be flippant or argumentative; I’m really curious as to where we would draw the line if this was our house on fire and not OSU’s.

I put down WRs when we were picking the top 3 we couldn't wait to see how they did this year because I couldn't choose one of the WR... Calloway, Hyatt, Wideman

 

[volsagain]

That’ll work. Why’d one work and the other...?

Their about equal both high on self , both A-holes. One does believe in strength and conditioning.

This is my concern. Where do you stop? America has always been about freedom to say and write whatever you want even if it is offensive (because everything offends someone). I agree you will suffer the consequences when people do not like what you say or write or in this case what you wear. But when we start demanding people have to have group think, even when I agree with them, we have gone too far.

The path beyond offense is to gain immunity to it.

Immunity to offense comes from exposure to, and learning to deal with, offensive people.

Attempting to eliminate offense produces the opposite result. Think "Bubble Boy", where the common cold causes death.

The ultimate expression of offended-ness is radical Islam, where a cartoon can result in riots and death.

That is our future if we don't figure this out.

That is a scary thought.

It's a good point, I don't know the answer. OSU worked it out. I was more arguing against the people who were criticizing the RB who got offended.

I got excited when I saw "offense." I thought it would be another JG discussion.
