HuskerInLostWages Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 You might want to find a 3rd team just in case haha. This may have been the worst game Frost has ever called. We saw nothing on O in the second half until CU got close, by that point our D was gassed and our O waited too long to clean up the urine running down their legs. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Ordered this shirt, plus a hoodie and a tanktop. If you havent read the story behind it, do. Awesome of the University to do this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Can I come aboard and follow the Huskers? Please? Be proud of being a Vols fan.

But now I'm starting to have questions... So, the kids gets bullied for his homemade shirt. Teachers notice, UT becomes aware, and they send him a bunch of cool swag. That right there is awesome. A great gesture and a good outcome for the kid. Then they take his design and make a real shirt for sale, with proceeds going to anti-bullying efforts. That is remarkable; above and beyond. Fantastic job by UT. That would have been a great end to the story. But now he gets a scholarship offer...what? I hope this doesn't make me sound like a dick, but they've already done the right thing, a great thing even, but does this seem to anyone else like piling on? A disproportionate response at this point? What's next, he gets to coach the team? Quote Link to comment

Pat themselves on the back? Virtue signalling? I dunno. Maybe the family's socioeconomic status justifies the extra help. Or maybe they are deliberately going over the top to put an exclamation point on how bad it is to bully. I dunno. I'm not going to think about that for a while. I'm just going to enjoy the feel-good parts of the story for the time being. Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 a lot of scholarships are given by parties outside the university. it may just be another fan/alumnus from UT that is giving the scholarship and not necessarily the university itself. Quote Link to comment

The cynical side of me thinks they just want to distract from the football team and change the subject to something good for the brand. Happy for the kid of course. Quote Link to comment
vpshelton Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 It is a great gesture by the University, but it is hard to clear the stench of 10 terrible years. No program can have a bad AD and coaching hires.... UT did both 3 times, which is why they are so bad. Quote Link to comment

Finally got our guy and a good AD, but we had to clean house in the upper administration to get Frost here. Quote Link to comment
