Um what yes there have been plenty lmao. People just be making shit up. There are just less now with the transfer portal being the way it is, same at every other top position in the P5. If you actually look around you'll find plenty. That dude is just racist, stop making excuses to assuming a fact that is wrong.
Ok, but you are still missing the point. Being the starter and starting a game due to injury are different things. OP'a comment was in relation to the actual original post that references freshman being named the starter for the season opener.
Eason got healthy mid season. If he was the better qb he would have gone in. A start is a start, i don’t give a flying fuck what the circumstances are.
I get you’re point there’s a few factors that comes into that Kirby doesn’t make adjustments unless he has to so if Fromm had to the hot hand he was going with him. But honestly Eason was so bad in Chaney’s offense there was no reason to change
Yeah, but that’s the difference between a scrambler and a tru dual threat. You don’t design plays for scramblers. They’re just adept at making something out of nothing. Lawrence was really good at that, and as a Buckeye fan, I hate him for it.
The race factor is one aspect, also when you think past that, you're also more likely to start a true freshman that makes plays with his legs, even if it's Tim Tebow style.
Saying "even if it is Tim Tebow style" when he is considered one of the greatest college QBs ever is wild. Bro had 20 rushing and 20 passing tds in his heisman year.
I'm just saying Tim Tebow is white in contrast to the stereotype. I don't mean "even if" as a dig. The fact that Tebow instantly came to mind as a running QB would imply he was good.
The way you take power from something is to make light of it and joke about it or ignore it if you can’t. Making everything and everyone constantly hyper-fixated on it does the opposite of make it go away.
With racism and all the other isms it makes everyone have insanely thin skin and they become incredibly annoying as well as more angry and anxious and depressed. Could be partially responsible for the incredible increase in depression and mental health issues over the last 20 years…
I know this because I lived in the before time when racism was actually on the decline and people were just cool with each other and capable of hearing different points of view without having an aneurysm. There was still racism because there always will be, but people were happy.
People that genuinely believe racism was becoming less prevalent but then suddenly ramped back up always crack me up. The only thing about racism that “went away” was the openness of it.
But that’s going back to the way it was before because white guys became the most oppressed group (in their mind), so here we are now.
Please continue pontificating upon how black peope should deal with unreasonable and unwarranted racism for the amusement of white people who want to feel no guilt.
Racism is so much deeper than interpersonal experiences, so you really can’t take the power from it just by joking about it. Most of the power it holds comes from the systems in America
Both. People don’t like to talk about physical differences developed over a millennia of adaption or the breeding that occurred stateside. Theres also things like culture that play a part (not many ways to get out of the hood; not sure if that’s where he’s from) as people don’t realize the US has one of the worst social mobility in developed nations.
I’m black (like actually black—not weird Reddit LARP-ing—you can tell because I don’t type in some nonsensical approximation of AAVE). Anyway, must admit this gave me a chuckle. I wish I had friends who were in to college football so I could send this to them. Unfortunately, they all prefer the NFL.
Ugh I fucking hate AI. I've been using em dashes since high school. There are supposed to be two em dashes if you're offsetting a
clause midsentence, just like you need two parentheses to accomplish the same thing.
They’re also easy to type on phones. I’ve been accused of AI-ing a response just bc I used an em dash instead of commas. I don’t bother with them anymore.
You do have friends that are into college football but they don’t talk to you about it because you’re an OSU fan and yall make every conversation miserable.
Everyone’s had their ass whooped before. But I can say I’m proud to be a vol and talk to anyone (except osu fans) about ball and have a fun conversation, they can’t say that because they only want to demean other fanbases and can’t just talk ball.
Yall keep chiming in to prove my point. You can’t just talk ball you have to find a way to demean other fanbases. It’s truly miserable behavior I’ve learned to expect from you all.
You do have friends that are into college football but they don’t talk to you about it because you’re an OSU fan and yall make every conversation miserable.
Yeah I’ve been to Neyland and Ohio Stadium as an OU fan to see my team play. One place was lovely and I’d go back any time. The other was Ohio Stadium.
I just wanna know why people think you gotta "talk black " to be black. I'm white but was adopted by black folks and every time I hear that I talk black I cringe.
I’ll always remember his entry in the deadspin encyclopedia of black quarterbacks started with “Jeff Blake kind of sucked, but only kind of”. He was the quarterback for my bengals when I became old enough to start watching them and he will live forever as the Bengals QB in NFL blitz
I'm sorry but I don't get the joke. I see people talking about racism. Is there a dog-whistle I'm missing? Is the joke simply that a freshman isn't going to be particularly specialized?
Revisionist history much? Don’t stare too hard at each schools athletic budget, revenue or roster cost. Maybe you guys can get sunbelt short king Bobby Chesney to suck on Bill Simmons enough yall might get a check big enough to pay for a couple of non sunbelt starters. Or maybe get Marty Jarmond, he looks like he has softer lips.
