Miami took two L's on Saturday.

 

Can somebody explain why flags aren't acceptable but chicken shit is?

 

And I guess that's why Vanderbilt doesn't allow live mascots, which pissed off South Carolina last month.

 

The comments on the Post story are frightening. It makes you wonder how much of the current crisis in America comes down to dudes not getting laid and unable or unwilling to put in the work to fix that.

Maybe there is more context that I’m missing, but I didn’t take her tweet to be “Look what this awful person did to me!” It felt more like “Funny thing happened at work,” and she took a playful jab back at the mascot shooting their shot.

 

Putting the Hurry in Hurricane?

 

Someone on the Dan Patrick show suggested the flag planting stuff be part of the post-game "color and pageantry" of games. It isn't like Michigan and Ohio State play for a trophy, or even have a nickname for the game. It would be awesome if the losing team had to circle the logo, wherever the game is played, and take a knee during the planting. Like Army and Navy doing the alma maters after the game.

 

Seems a lot of potential trouble after a heated rivalry game to do something like that. Especially when "Don't be an asshole" would be a much easier solution for the problem.

 

I mean - of course it will never happen - but damn, seeing an entire team literally bending the knee would be pretty incredible.

 

Here’s the thing about getting Big Mad about the flag bit. Not only did you have the chance to prevent it, but by definition you had that chance at home. Don’t get mad, get better. Half of y’all are hopping to the next NIL paycheck in the morning anyway.
