Chuba Hubbard is really mad at Mike Gundy

[Omniscient.one]

I think the point is that he talks to male strangers (regardles of race) about sports and it is good common ground that can lead to friendship. I do not open with politics, religion or race relations with strangers of any race. I do open with sports and continue with it if they are interested. I mean, can you imagine walking up to any stranger and going "how bout that black lives matter movement?" or "how about that Donald Trump?"

Admittedly, while not all my friends are sports fanatics, I do have a harder time finding common ground with strangers who are men, whether they look like me or do not look like me, if they are not into sports. Of course, people in general have trouble talking to people they cannot relate to if they do not have common interests.

I am sure IvanDiabloHorn's point was that sports is a good common for strangers white, black, etc in general to start with to get to know one another. I think he is saying we should keep sports as a common ground for all to learn and understand one another. If sports become divisive, we as a society become more divided. We have enough third rails as it is. We need more things that build bridges and bring people together. I am not sure why you want to pick apart this message.

Are you against people finding common ground with strangers?

For the same reason you want to pick apart my message. It was a reasonable post until the last question, which is more obtuse than anything I said. But I’m not going to get in a back and forth with you because I don’t want to read your essay-length posts. Cheers.

That will be short lived and revenue will be right back up. Especially if the Binder fields a winning team.

No way binder wins more than 4-6 games with a divided team and an entirely new coaching staff. Maybe mensa is unifying the team through anger & hate....anger & hate can be powerful if used correctly. I'm not seeing that kind of unity though.

I'll take the over.

Yeah.

At this point, really hard to "handicap" this upcoming season (as in golf handicap). If you prefer, "predict" what we might see from this team and mensa.

So many issues and variables in play right now... unfortunately, I'm more pessimistic than optimistic - perhaps mensa will surprise us all.....

I'll take the over.

If this stuff settles down and they play like the team they are capable of they'll win 10+ this year. If 20-30 players are dividing the team, refusing to play, negative talking to other teammates causing a great divide I'll go with 5 wins.

Maybe the rest of the team should help settle this instead of just going along nicely with the protesters.

Vol,

You may not be old enough to remember the collapse after Tony Edwards got beat up by that midget Mexican cop, when all Tony was doing was sitting on the hood of his friend's car waiting for his buddies to show up.

I can truthfully say I have NEVER been so nauseated by the behavior of our fans as I was that Saturday at Floyd Casey. Total collapse of team and a field day for the shitheads amongst our fans.

Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember that game - OMG it was awful. Had forgotten the story about Edwards and the cop tho.

1984 really has to be the worst team collapse in Texas football history.
