I was red dotted for asking a legitimate question. The topic was Phil's lack of support of Tech. Some are giving him a pass bc he is a Christian. I don't see why that exempts him from our expectation that he give back to our school.
Since TylerTechsas hasn't joined in yet, let me presume to speak for him. I think it's time this thread be moved "To The Pit."
Great points. You also made a great point about Karl helping the needy in Mississippi immediately after Hurricane Katrina. I remember that. In fact, I've never heard ANYTHING bad about Karl Malone, save for a few snarly comments from people on this board that probably don't even know him. And most of those folks don't know what they are talking about anyway.
Whoa now. Before we start attacking each other even further, I will say I know of the reasons why those on here harbor disdain for Karl while not knowing the full details, and understand their reasoning. In fact, it's why I'm not as high on him as I once was. However, from the little bit I know, I can understand to a degree Karl's motivations for his actions.
How bout we wait till after TB asks him to join LTAC before we rake him over the coals. As to KM, I believe the man is very straightforward to the point of being blunt. A way many of us would like to be and KM has the accomplishments and the $$$ to be. I also think KM has a heart and will give those who don't have the means a chance to get somewhere. Now if you squander that chance, KM will give it to you full force. I can't fault him for any of those principles.

Fwiw Phil has "set foot" on campus. While a student (85-90) I personaly attended a gathering
on campus for duck hunters. The guest speaker was Phil Robertson. So enough of the "never set foot" garbage.
So phil owes tech for his success? Did tech not get his services on the field in exchange for his education? I'd call it a draw unless tech had a duck call building course.
