    Mike Gundy and ok. St. is in hot water as well. Get used to it, the players have the power to request changes like this. And the players will be fine, the transfer portal will be juicy this fall maybe.

    When will Eric Reid lead a movement to demand that LSU remove their Fighting Tigers mascot from their name? No stone left unturnt.

    It's happening at LSU too, building is being renamed. Students registering to vote. The racist tweet student isn't enrolling now and much more I don't know about as well probably.

    Change is coming, just deal with it. Not sure you want to be on the racism side on this one. A line will be found.

    FU is doing away with the 'Gator Bait' chant due to 'racism'. Is 'Tiger Bait' next?

    http://statements.ufl.edu/statement...ep-toward-positive-change-against-racism.html

    Anyone know of the 'racist imagery associate with the phrase' that he's referring to? Not that I give one fuck about FU, but it is kind of disturbing that the cancel culture is now descending into college sports traditions.

    That article is obviously opinion

    You are correct, education is a huge problem and is greatly underfunded. My daughter has to spend so much of her own money, we all chip in. Just to have the minimal materials for her class. It's a shame we don't value education higher
