Beaty said last week that this pat Saturdays scrimmage would help determine who will be the starter this season, maybe even take the race down to 2 guys. This is one of things I’ve disliked about Beaty, his inability to not only make decisions but to basically keep everything hush hush to prevent anyone form knowing. Here’s the deal, I’m willing to bet that it makes no difference to Nichols State or any other team on our schedule this season who is QB. By the time we get to conference season there will be plenty of tape on whom is starting and what we are doing. I understand not wanting to give away game plans but releasing a depth chart wouldn’t hurt anything IMO. I’m sure if the B12 did have guys trying to find out more about their opponents they wouldn’t be doing it so early in the season or really invest a ton of time into looking at KU currently.

@KUSTEVE I don’t have enough time to talk about what’s wrong with the goons in Methouri. Never had a decent experience with people from that state. I’d say KC and St. Louis are kinda separated from the rest of the state. Anything south of 70 is a total cesspool, you don’t know white trash til you’ve been around the Springfield area.

@jayballer73 I would agree that the loss of a child would be the worst. I can only imagine, my wife and I have done foster care for a number of years and we had a set of kids for a couple of years and returning them to their parents is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It was before we had our own son and we were going to adopt them, but dad got his stuff together just in the nick of time. I put one of my best friends in his grave at 16 but I still that image of my son(foster) screaming for me at the top of his lungs chasing us down the driveway. That’s probably as heart broken as I have been and I bet that a fraction of the heart break a person would feel knowing that they are not only gone from your life but gone from the world. I’m proud to be a Christian, but my faith is tired and has been tested many times. You’re easily one of the best people on here (not knock anyone else), I’m glad to have gotten to know you and am happy to consider you a friend.

@justanotherfan I agree a 100% buddy. I just dont think HEM is a racist and I personally don’t agree with calling someone that who has different views than you, that’s my point. Not that if you don’t use racial slurs you can’t be racist. It’s a common thing these days from Democrats either you agree with them or you’re a racist. There is very little to no middle ground. I didn’t like Obama’s healthcare or Foreign policy, I am considered a racist for doing so. I honestly think Obama and I would get along fine talking about basketball and whatnot, I’d be happy to meet him. I have no ill will towards him, i just didn’t agree with some of his political agenda. I personally am an Independent, Patriot that stands for justice and Equality. This will be my last post on thread, someone else can have the last word if they want no biggie, good day to everyone.

Maybe this thread should be closed, I’ve already said more on politics and crap I usually don’t waste my time with. I still love everyone on this thread regardless of their opinions that I agree or disagree with, I just gonna move on and stick to sports my friends.

@approxinfinity I 100% agree with what Jim Brown said in the article, it’s their right to do the protest, I just wouldn’t do it that way. Maybe HEM did go to far with some of what he wrote in your opinion and that’s fine but your vehicle comment is no different than what people are saying and doing to Dak, they want people to hate him for not kneeling. That’s the issue with politics and parties, one side can do it but the other side can’t. I do my best to respect others opinions even it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I’ll be the first to admit I do fail at it from time to time.

@Crimsonorblue22 I honestly don’t think you even know what your point is. HEM is posting stuff that Danr doesn’t agree with (which is perfectly fine) so Danr is waiting for HEM to post some racial slurs, insinuating that he is racist. HEM hasn’t posted anything racist or used racial slurs on here, that would make a person believe he is in fact racist. Danr believes he is racist because they don’t see the kneeling situation the same. Ik Danr is a Democrat(I’m not a republican, don’t call me one please) he has even said it I believe. I personally and several other people that I know are to, are tired of hearing how anyone that ever disagrees with a Democrat is “ racist”. That IMO is part of the reason Trump won, that’s been the only argument Democrats have had for the last 3 elections, you cant vote for the other guy he’s racist. Hell even Ben Carson was called racist because he was a republican. I’m willing to bet right now regardless of who the republican nominee is for the next election I guarantee you they will be called racist repeatedly from the left regardless of race, gender or religion. I believe that to not be a nice or logical thing to do. I enjoy talking with you @Crimsonorblue22 and @DanR but I’m standing up for people that are being insulted and called racist daily in this country for no other reason than disagreeing with a Democrat.

I actually agree with the whole, if you don’t get picked, you can return thing. If you don’t get paid to play it shouldn’t matter. Now the agent thing is a little scary as @KUSTEVE has said, how much will it be about recruiting an agent rather than a player. It will interesting to see how it effects a school like UK, that’s loads up, OADs. Most schools will likely have an agent that caters to them in some way. I really think doing away with the OAD rule would fix a good deal of the issues that are in CBB right now. I’ve read that the NBA players want it to help the older guys keep a roster spot longer but IMO if one year of another player not being in the league is gonna make you broke or jobless, that extra year isn’t gonna make a huge difference.

@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t think insulting people or accusations of racism is standing up for anyone especially when he hasn’t post anything remotely racist. I’m fine if folks disagree but that’s a little out there I think. I’m a little worried your gonna start calling me racial slurs for disagreeing with you, after all that makes you a racist.

@Crimsonorblue22 yes because insinuating that someone is racist is nice, wow.
