Vizza was awesome. I wish we had a better team around him.

This reminds me of a joke: What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino? Elephino.

I'd like to know

It isn't your views, it's the way you express them. If you remember correctly, I argued against you having your posts limited.

Honestly, you have a good point. We all need to treat each other better. The difference, though, is that I don't see a constant flow of insults from everyone on here. I do like you, 90, but I do get frustrated with you sometimes.

I am not your Judge, but I do care about the people in this group (you included). There aren't enough fellow Mean Green fans out there for me not to care. When you're berating people I care about, it is right to point it out and call for change. Now, if you agree that those insults were wrong, then you should apologize. If you've already done that, then I'll agree I shouldn't have said anything about that post. Well, there we go.

Actually, the thing that got me riled up was this. There's no good reason to talk to someone like that. I don't know why I try with you, though. I don't expect anything to change.

No, I was responding to your whole argument in this thread.

Me too.

You don't think judicial activism exists?

You didn't mention anything about an established grasp, and I was working on the basis of what you had said. It changes the situation if the officer has an established grasp on the perp. I do admit that I'm not a lawyer, and that my expertise is in doing the opposite of what lawyers and judges often do (that is, they twist words to get a desired outcome, whereas I am interested in discovering what the author intended in whatever I am reading). Can we keep this argument going for 18 more posts? I'd like to hit 1000.

No, evading arrest is the appropriate law to apply, not resisting arrest, in the case in which someone pulls away from a police officer. I understand perfectly what the word "force" means (in this context and otherwise), and I also know what the word "against" means in the phrase, "by using force against the police officer or another." Interpretation of words, especially as the author intends them, is something I have a degree in and a topic I am published on multiple times. Also, I don't have any interest in skewing anything or justifying anything. I didn't rush the field at the HOD bowl because I didn't want to break the law. I am not justifying those who broke the law by rushing the field, but I am not justifying those who broke the law through police brutality, either. Everyone needs to obey the law, and that includes police officers.

"by using force against the peace officer or another." You're just skipping over this point?

Is that you, Rick?

I assume Morris will be the guy this year

Boooo

Can't hear you over the shouting.

Not sure how we could expect any receivers to prove their talent with the QB play we've had over the last 2 years.

I thought we'd hear something by now. Any rumors circulating?

I am not worried at all. Litrell hasn't really had any time because of the dead period to go after any players that count toward those rankings. I like his transfers, and I'm confident we will get some good HS talent, too.

Based on the thread title, I thought there would be some good news in here.

Sigh.

I don't want to get in between, but I would like to say that while I think 90 has a good point, it would be nice to be able to talk about other things on the board, too. Maybe you can cut down the number of threads you take in this direction, 90. I think more people would want to hear what you have to say if you wouldn't hijack every conversation.

We got 5 points for beating UTSA and 55 for letting Coach Mac go.

UTSA's troubles make me so sad. Psyche!
