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 think, and he even said so himself, that he handled it wrong. First response shouldn't be to go to social media and make threats not to play. First response should have been talking to his coach about it, expressing his opinion, and having an honest discussion.

I want to beat Georgia just to see the video Andrew Ray posts on Twitter.

This is the year to play them on the road with the division potentially on the line.

One thing some of these predictions are forgetting is that road games aren’t going to be like typical road games. 30-50% capacity crowds are going to be nearly non factors. I like our chances in Norman even more with limited fans.

Yeah, I'm not saying Hank or anyone else who points such things out intends it the way it comes out. But we've got this whole racism thing wrong. Hiring someone because they're black or implying someone was hired because they're black or even saying there are advantages to hiring someone simply because they're black is as racist as doing the opposite. And it's demeaning to them and their abilities.

It's also patronizing, and somehow I doubt that most African-Americans want to be patronized.

Everyone on staff is there because of their ability. Pruitt has faith in what they can do. I don't think skin color even played a factor in their hiring. And that's how true diversity in hiring is done.

Yeah but that doesn't bode well for us with Florida and Bama this year.

Ranking the 20 best college football games of 2020
Click to expand...
That's an interesting listing of games. However, the ranking of those games is a real head scratcher.

Oregon will likely be the best team in the PAC-12 this year. Historically, Oregon has selected a mid-tier team from a solid conference (like Auburn) to play in the first couple weeks of the season. It provides Oregon with a slight chance at a victory (without ever actually coming to fruition). When they inevitably lose, they can argue that they are playing top quality out-of-conference opponents without actually playing any truly elite teams. This year, they have screwed up in a major way. The epic beat down that Ohio State will lay on Oregon will likely preclude any PAC-12 team from receiving serious consideration for the playoffs (as usual).
