Akron, with no winning coach in 46 years, fires Terry

[Darth_VadEER]

Time to shut the thread down...we have some folks here with no manners who want to be political. There is another board for that.

BTW: I agree with you.

 

[Cuyahoga Falls Eers]

Whoa! Just an off-handed about Trump by me. Sorry. I thought this was a WVU board. And my thread got coopted into a political power punchout.

Will Grier, will he or won't he? Let's work on that for a while.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

BTW: I agree with you.

Then stop using this board for your political agenda.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

I'll say it again junior. If you are so progressive move to Cuba and enjoy the benefits of your socialist dream. I would think by your political comments that you: 1. never served this country in any capacity; 2. think that your junior college education is an achievement;, 3. live in your mom's basement; 4. describe yourself as a creative genius; 5. think the world ends at the borders of your neighborhood; and 6. or....aren't really as bright as you think you are. I think it is all of the above. But you have entertainment value like most progressives.

I guess you have not heard about me then.
Spent 15 years in the USMC. Both of my sons are in the USMC. One as an officer and my youngest son is enlisted.

I am still involved in projecting American dominance around the world in the oil business.
Have worked in six different countries in the oil refinery business.

No sense in even trying to defend yourself. All you're going to get from Rootmaster and those of his ilk is a bunch of sixth grade "oh yeah, well, uh so's your mom". Cogent arguments are beyond their reach.

Your education level is showing...

The issue with Trump is that he was a tool that was used for a conservative agenda.
Problem is that the conservative agenda includes the idea of continuing the belief of Pax Americana.

So in the end Trump will be left with nothing except the voters who are mainly uneducated poor whites.

There is a reason why some people didn't want to give the right to vote to everyone and this is a major reason why.
Not the first time as Andrew Jackson was one similar to Donald Trump but the US in 2018 is much different than in the 1830's.

Actually, you’re the poor uneducated person comparing Trump to a democrat in Andrew Jackson. And it’s common knowledge it was the Democrats who didn’t want to give everyone the right to vote.

Political labels like Democrat and Republican have changed over the years.
With Trump they are changing again.

But this board is not a place for politics.

Thank you for your and your sons service.

My brother in law is retiring at the end of the year, USMC fully bird and Academy grad.

Hello EER's...Tallmadeer...Cuyuhoga. Good morning you teeny piece of sunshine.

Dick

 

[Rootmaster]

Dick

So, it's Dick Chattanooga huh? Cool.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

Thank you for your and your sons service.

It was mutually beneficial.
The technical training I learned has allowed me to have a career after the USMC.

I am sure your brother in law has mixed emotions about the upcoming future especially someone who moved up that far in the chain of command.

 

[Rootmaster]

BTW DVZ we may not agree on a lot of things....but thank you for your service. I am a USAF vet, who was career. Highlights were being a squadron commander with 97th Bomb Wing and a gig later in the Pentagon. My best friend and former teammate died on patrol outside NaDang. So again thank you. We can be compatriots and still argue about things on the forum lol.

I have been out for awhile.
I would have stayed in at the time but I was stationed at MCAS El Toro in Southern California and the base was closing so I found a job in the private sector.
Both my sons are still involved and the oldest did multiple tours in Iraq including Fallujah so he should be appreciated.

God bless them. Throughout my business and music careers when things got tough I would say "once you have had a SAM shot at your ass while you are flying 500 miles inside of the badlands, nothing much can really bother you." My son in law btw is a former, or as he says "will always be" a Marine.

Not to turn this back to the direction of politics but that is why Trump is such a danger.
He doesn't get it.
You can't have a president say "Why can't we be friends with Russia...I don't see anything wrong with being friends."

It is mind blowing.

For me he was the lesser of two evils. At least he didn't have a honking big red reset button lol.

Back to sports. My issue with a lot of posters is that they think its cool to be middle of the pack because , after all, that's all WVU can ever expect. THe Mountaineers may never have the swagger of Texas or Oklahoma but can always strive to top them from time to time. GIving up before you play is just stupid. I am sure I will continue to have fodder for a thousand fights going forward. BTW: was stationed a while in Texas (and Arkansas).

 

[ChattanoogaEER]

Did you ever participate in anything at wvu? Do you the pride of being a student there? Why are you such a cynical ass on here? You are just mean.

We beat Texas, this year...in their stadium.

 

[Rootmaster]

And we lost to Oklahoma in our stadium.

When Terry Bowden was hired in 1993 to coach Auburn, he was a bright and audacious young (mid-30s) coach eager to make his legendary father proud and make a name for himself.

Everything changed within his first week. An assistant coach from the previous staff, whom Bowden was told he had to retain, walked into his office and placed a black ledger on his desk. It was a list of players who were being paid.

This is how we do it around here, Bowden was told.

Bowden told the assistant coach, “Pay off the players that were promised and never do it again.”

I have heard this story and told by several people its true
