Can he manage to hire a good football coach without subjecting us to the cluster f*** that always seems to precede a hiring like this? The last one to pull that off was Deinhart when he hired Mason.

When they bitched about their freedom of speech during their meet the press and announce their boycott, I began to wonder just what crap have they been taught in their courses. There is no free speech.......you work for an employer, you can't go and bad mouth the employer and expect your job to be intact. You maybe can't be jailed for expressing your opinions but you sure can lose your job. (and scholarship).


Baylor still has its mess. Athletes running around w/o any self control and programs looking the other way have to reign this crap in. And if the big donors don't get it, go give their money to political candidates instead.

Even Antoine Winfield got involved...I think they thought their kids and fellow teammates were innocent....but not now. Haven't heard a peep from any parent since.

I don't know the specifics but it sounds like they tried to shame the girl to keep it quiet but something happened, she filed suit, and then the truth happened.

Since they don't start until the county finishes the players were reinstated after the announcement of no charges, but then suspended when the committee finished its investigation. It turns out the standard for conduct is higher than simply not being charged with a felony while you attend the U.

Dunno what to say. IMO he got what he deserved, with the Twitter msg after the boycott started.

Yay, I support my boys who have no idea what they're doing, over a gang-bang some of the boys recorded.

Har Har, kids will be kids.

What a miserable feeling when it comes to sports. That decision of "I can't even care at this point".

As for TC's and his downfall. As I'm getting more info, he brought it on. Sad. And, really, WTF did Jerry Kill and his band of mediocrity do to deserve this feeling of self worth they have completely over inflated? It's starting to appear that Limegrover could have been the "smart" one

Sometimes it is much better to simply stfu instead of going on social media to express your views.
