Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I don't think I would be offended if someone called me Cauc.


Wait, maybe I would.

You get Cauc a lot? (Calm down Catbone).

 

[Jackcrevol]

Depends on how they pronounced and their accent. Then again, I've never been offended by words/insults unless they were directed at my family, women(depending on the word/context/intent), people with disabilities or racism...especially directed at a friend or girlfriend.

I used to date a really hot mixed girl from Powell(1/4 black, 3/4 white). Black dudes in Knoxville would give her shite for dating a white guy but that didn't bother me. White people giving us shite because of her race had me ready to fight. Below is a pic taken of her at a photo shoot she did in 2013...younger normal pic below that. Sadly, she dropped dead in her late 20's from a blood clot in her lung.

The sarcasm for my post doesn't bother me but a little unnecessary regarding a wonderful human who died very young.

I wish they would just sleeve well enough alone. We don't need them looming over us all the time.

All good....and I get where you were coming from. Realized it was cringey and a little unnecessary to my point after I posted it. I also regret not being nicer to her while alive so kinda struck a nerve....that's a me issue, though.

Mahatma Gandhi was a peculiar person. He walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He often went on hunger strikes, and even when he wasn't on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. He also was a very spiritual person. Finally, because he didn't eat much and when he did his diet was peculiar, he developed very bad breath.

This made him A: super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Morikawa was unstoppable

Morikawa was unstoppable

So many guys can catch fire and run away with one these days. Morikawa, Koepka, Rahm, Spieth, Thomas, etc

Pretty sure he took over for Polly Esther Rayon. Strange how she always insisted on using her middle name.

Must be related to double nuke man.

Do i need to turn in my VFL card? I recognize PM...

I like the kid, I hope he has a great career. I wish Jordan could pull his head back out of his tail. Those two are my favorite young guys, I am not a fan of Koepkake, Dumbchambeau or Rahm and their attitudes and personality. I would like to see Wolf, Schauffele and Berger kick it up a notch and do well. I have given up hope in Fowler, but I really like him, I always pull for him.

The whole state or just the name?

I had a friend who passed from the same thing. Young, zero health issues, and boom, dropped dead from a blood clot. She was beautiful, young, and 7 months pregnant.

Her husband gave her CPR until the medics arrived and took over. The baby was delivered at the hospital.

Sorry for your loss dude. Blood clots are kind of terrifying.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Guess it depends on the history of how a word has previously been used, as to how they will perceive you using it. Even if you didn't mean anything by it, "Jap" has often been used in a derogatory way in the past. And sometimes there's just not a clear answer either, like "are you Jewish" vs "are you a Jew"...mileage may vary depending on the person or context.

I am sick of this crap.

I am sick of this crap.

As well we all should be. Using these divisive distinctions is a choice and contributes nothing.

Thank you. We kept in touch a little over the years, mainly telling each other about big life events...my marriage, kids born....I introduced her to Three Six Mafia when we were young and she was excited to be a dancer in one of their videos they filmed in Knoxville. She also worked at the UT library. It came out of nowhere and I know her mom and current boyfriend were devastated. Scary that you can go young with no warning.

Very sorry to hear about your friend. Very bittersweet moment for her husband. Joy of being a father and heartbreak of losing his wife. Glad the baby survived.

Kinda random but anyone remember last year when people called into question the chemistry of the team after the OL didn’t help up JG when he got knocked to the ground and Austin Price in his typical condescending fashion mocked that take and said chemistry was fine and people were making a big deal of nothing.

Only to this week read Addison Nichols comments about how the players told him how bad the chemistry and division was on last years team.

It should be enough to treat everyone with kindness and fairness.

I am not dedicating limited gray matter for the purpose of cataloging every conceivable way in which someone can be offended.

Thank you! Her husband was from outside our circle of friends. We didn't know him well, but he quickly became our collective hero.

I appreciate your story. It is good that you remember her so fondly.

It should be, but it's not. People are people and trying enforce some kumbaya ideal is only making things worse.
