In the days of social media, a jilted lover can make someone’s life miserable whether it’s deserved or not. Add in the chance of making some hush money .....
Well, if you paid attention to my post, you would have read the part in the last sentence that stated "that's my opinion". As for my ignorance on any of these subjects, that is your opinion and of course we are all allowed to have one, and we all experience or have some ignorance in one area or another. Maybe you know much more about the situation than anyone else, maybe not.
For someone to be calling another poster ignorant and just a few post later repeat a rumor one heard about what really happened at Baylor, borders on hypocrisy in my book. A UT conspiracy, well it happened in Texas so it must be the same people who were behind the JFK assassination, that could have happened, That could be an opinion, right? I form my own opinions based on what I think to be credible sources, is that where you got that Baylor/UT rumor and conspiracy theory from. It must be all true since you are the one repeating it, would that be right? I would certainly not think you are showing your ignorance on the subject by repeating something you heard which may or may not have come from a credible source.
You know, as much as you say that is all rumor and conjecture about UT trying to ruin Baylor's reputation, it could actually all be true or at least to some degree, who really knows? Much of the Briles, Baylor, UT, Rapes, etc. will continue to be rumors, conjecture, and opinions till it all sees the light of day sometimes in the future.
Ignorance shows up in a lot of ways and forms, so Pot, meet Kettle!
I guess I brought my daughter into this when I mentioned she went to TECH and said I was not anxious to have Briles here, and of course you mentioned her again when commenting on my post. Fair enough, but you should have left my daughter out of it after that. You and I can argue all we want and be good natured or horses ass' about it, I am OK with either one. I do not have a sense of humor about using my comment about my daughter to get under my skin, and you need to respect that, I should not have to say anymore about it.
Texas tried so hard to hire Briles away from Baylor that he only interviewed once after Mack Brown was fired, and was so kissed that he wasn’t given the job that he took his ball and went back to Waco. They hired Strong instead, and it’s safe to say that Texas came away better for it despite Strong’s terrible record in Austin.
Someone has a very weak grasp on what transpired there, but an unhealthy loathing for UT and love for Arthur Briles.
What's really sad is this thread rolls on, and there was absolutely nothing, not a single post about MBB vs. UTEP or WBB vs. UTEP (until I posted one).
Fire TMAC yesterday!
Summitt is still with Brooke. At the very least they are raising the child together. I’d say the only toxic thing about their relationship was that it occured while he was married. His former wife is the main victim of the story.
Scratch that- they are married, apparently. Her last name is now Summitt on Facebook.
I was very clear from my very first sentence of my last post about the Baylor/UT story being a rumor. So, please don't be willfully ignorant about that when talking to me.
Just so we're clear, I identify "willful ignorance" as a behavior from some people who DO know better, but prefer to act ignorant. IMO, that's what you've done with he Baylor/UT story and your JFK Assassination comment. I know.....everybody's trying to be funny here. I get it. We've got some guys on this board who never comment unless they are trying to be funny.
The truth is, because of terrible and inaccurate media reports, the whole Baylor "rape" story is fraught with rumors, lies and innuendo. I'm not sure what you mean when you say I "should have left my daughter out of it after that"? I never said a single thing about your daughter. That's not the kind of person I am. I simply "quoted" you just as you had identified yourself ...as a parent with a daughter at Tech. I talked directly to you about why --with a coach like Tyler Summit around-- attending Tech was not so different from Baylor.
Anyway, most here simply slam Art Briles, say something snarky and move on. You said "he turned a blind eye to rape", even though the text message evidence and his very favorable settlement from Baylor clearly suggests otherwise. I know poking from afar and moving on is the easy, popular, thing to do. It's the lynch mob mentality. Everybody piles on. People don't have to read, and they don't have to think.
Fact: It's difficult to push some newspapers "52 rapes" theory when only one (1) person has been convicted (one other conviction was overturned) since this case was brought to light almost 7 years ago. It's called media run amuck! And it sells newspapers.
And besides.....everybody already knows a rouge group of disgruntled CIA agents --who had failed miserably during the botched Bay of Pigs Cuba invasion attempt, 90 days after JFK assumed his Presidency-- hired a mafia hit team through Mafia boss and New Orleans resident Carlos Marcello to execute JFK.
