I don't mind guardian caps. I think they make you look stupid as hell wearing them in a game, but this idea was all for trying to add another layer to protect players. So I don't hate the idea/manufacturer for it. I believe they are required in 7 on 7 now. I like that a lot. We wore them for contact practices on our lineman. I liked that. They have their place, I just don't think it is for a live game. Too bulky.

I know one that you are speaking of. I would think yes, but it would have to be a person of color that graduated from there and had success beyond high school. A local celebrity. (I think the one not so far down the road is who one of them we are referring to right?) Also, I almost left out Mathis's name just for you, but I didn't know the guy. So I went ahead and put it out there.

Like one media guy said (Colin Rugg), these hearings are nothing but Kabuki Theatre.

So what you are saying is that you are a liberal to the right and a racist, fascist Hitler to the left

There are at least 3 black head coaches in the history of Marshall ISD that would definitely still be there if they made different life choices. Bill Harper was loved in Marshall. I believe he retired??? @Mavchamp Claude Mathis chased his dream in Desoto, but he could have been in Marshall forever with the way his team was trending. Thed Harris had a team good enough to make a deep run that fell in the 1st round vs Kilgore then followed it with a 2nd round exit vs Denison. Then made a few poor life choices... but had he made it 2-3 rounds deeper in either of those seasons, he could have bought himself another 4-5 years.

Georgia was not more talented than Notre Dame without their QB IMO. Oregon beat Ohio State in a close game in the regular season. Oregon was more consistent throughout the year. I do not think the 2 most talented teams are in the final. I've said all year that I thought Texas was the most talented team in the country top to bottom. #2 would have had to been Georgia before the QB went down. When he went down, then if we are trying to measure talent, I would have likely had Oregon and Ohio State together on that list. Notre Dame would have been maybe top 10... definitely not top 2... Same goes for Penn State.

Climate change is real. Explain to me how we go from Winter to Spring then summer? It is because the climate changes! Also, when I fly to Brazil, I get off the plane and I am like "Damn, this climate changed a lot!"

Unfortunately, Ohio State is the hot favorite in this one. If they play the way they've played in the playoffs, this will be over at halftime. Coach Rab's Score Prediction: Ohio State 47 Notre Dame 17

I agree with this in a lot of ways. If my kid isn't involved, I am way more inclined to just watch it on TV.

The town of Marshall is somewhat depressing, but I can see some efforts to revitalize it with new business etc. I would love to see some huge changes along Hwy 80, but that would take a lot of destruction and rebuilding.

I don't feel like this is real. However, I do think school boards hire new ADs that fit the student body. You don't see many white head coaches in DISD. Is that racism? I don't think so. I will just leave it as simple as that. I actually call that practice type-casting. You want someone who fits the school, the vision, and that can relay it to the kids at the school.

I don’t know if any of you have been to ETBU lately, but the campus is absolutely stunning. I am not sure that there is any other way to describe it. I graduated in 2007 and it was pretty then, but now it is prettier than a lot of campuses that compete in D1 athletics.

Ohio State should win this, but I’m actually rooting for Rudy’s Alma mater in this one.

It’s sad. Lacy was by far LSU’s best WR all year and would likely be an early round pick. Throwing it all away on dumbassery
