Good times in Houston for Dana Holgorsen

[Darth_VadEER]

Seriously was everyone asleep in ethics class, or perhaps I am a relic and they no longer consider ethics a core curriculum these days.

Defamation comes in two forms; slander and libel.

Slander is spoken orally.

Libel is printed, digital is included in "print" usage.

The passage that is in question is:

"There are already rumors of Dana cutting corners. The guy is reckless, a drunk and most likely a hard core drug user."

Since this is "printed", it can only be defined as libel. Breaking down the comment;

The guy is reckless - that is opinion, not libel.

A drunk - that is fact as we are all aware of the incident at the Mardi Gras Casino. If it said habitual or chronic that might be libel but the drunk part is not qualified, it stands as fact, not libel

And most likely a hard core drug user - this falls under the alleged category of opinion used by media when reporting a crime that has been adjudicated in court. This is not libel.

You might dislike his opinions and views but he did not do what you assert he has done.

What is it I asserted he did? Besides act like an asshole? You just wasted a bunch time typing for no reason. In your eagerness to share your opinion, you apparently didnt take the time to actually read the discussion - Greg Jacobs said it was slanderous, not me. So I'd direct your lectures at him.

Spreading unsubstantiated gossip, simply because you dont like someone is reckless. I think any decent person would agree.

The point - I dont need legal cover to keep me from speaking about others inappropriately. I already know its wrong.

Character assassination is wrong, it doesnt matter if it doesnt raise to slander - get it?

I just saw that Tillman Fertittas hospitality group owns Rainfoest Cafe.

That explains why he has so much money.

Just took my wife/mother in law and kids to the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls, Ont. this summer. I think I paid about $220 + tip for a basic lunch...and they didnt give the Poutine I ordered (reg fries). In fairness, it was a trainee and my kids really enjoyed the place.

The hosting process was balls to the walls crazy....thats another story.

I literally would rather swim in a sewer than eat that shitty food and watch their C- animatronics. Worst money ever spent. Twice.

Some knowledgeable folks posted here recently what constituted a slander case. I guess you were on a worldwide golf tour and did not have time to peruse the board then.

You sound jealous and should crawl back under your rock but at the very least Texass is a toxic POS and tools like you are to dumb to call him out. Enjoy the game today sir.

So I should have said libel instead of slander for the nitpicking crowd. My point is your point. Just because we’re on a free nothingburger site doesn’t mean scumbag posts shouldn’t be called out. I called it out.

It would not matter if he used the proper term, the original post did not meet any of the definitions for defamation. You don't have to like his opinion or read his posts. You and others being upset about that is not his fault. I personally don't like the guy either but I don't get my shit out of whack over a coach that isn't here any more.

You’re talking legal at this point. I’m talking scum posting on a free site.

 

[SKYHAWKBALL]

Murphy sounds like a drama queen and he’s also transferred multiple times so that shows how much respect he actually has to a program.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Cincinnati became the next team to embarrass Holgs and Houston. A team that was favored to go to a New Years day Bowl

true...but it doesn’t make him wrong

 

[5150]

Man I’ve always been a DH supporter but if this is accurate this has scumbag written all over it.

There were signs of this behavior at WVU but no one wanted to see it as truth.

 

[sg44gold]

Anyone who uses the word “nothingburger” on here should be banned forever!!!

Period.

the fan boys will say its a smart move on Dana's part, but everyone knows its one of the oddest things to happen in college football. Maybe its a trend moving forward but right now its just flat out odd

Might be more credible if that wasn't the 3rd coach he's quit on. As the saying goes, "If you think the first person you run into is an asshole, he might be an asshole. If you think everyone you run into is an asshole, then you're the asshole."

Must be pretty credible considering most of the things he addressed are pretty well known now.

 

[WVUFanForever]

How convenient....little Logan Holgerson is now qb2 at Houston....

LMAO...they are one qb injury from really shitting the bed.....can't bring in qb's at Houston either.

 

[sg44gold]

But ... along comes U Can’t, and Holgy becomes a genius again.

I don't know if the starter got hurt, but Logan H. is playing at end of 1st half.

 

[WVUALLEN]

24-17 for a squeak by win vs 1-6 UCONN

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

24-17 for a squeak by win vs 1-6 UCONN

Somehow that will be different than WVU squeaking by JMU earlier in the season according to some delusional posters.

 

[sg44gold]

JMU would kick the SHIT out of U Can’t.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

Their game is on Thursday.
Have to beat SMU. Big game for Dana and Cougar High.
He came out in the Tulane game prepared but their defense totally blew the game.

They have to see something. Dana is pretty much trying to force the idea of a rebuild. I don't see it with the players he is bringing in and all the Top 300 type of players only go to Houston if they are paying.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Houston has nothing easy for AAC the rest of the season. Houston is staaring at a 4-8 season unless they can knock off a couple of those upper league teams

SMU 7-0 (3-0)
@UCF 5-2 (2-1)
Memphis 6-1 (2-1)
@Tulsa 2-5 (0-3) - losing record but not an easy out.
Navy 5-1 (3-1)

 

[WVUFanForever]

With little Logan at quarterback? Hardly.

 

[SeronimusPratt]

@suckaineer @cuckaineer

 

[WVUALLEN]

Meanwhile at Texas State...

 

[TownesVanZandt]

Logan throws a decent deep ball from what I have seen.
Cougar High went out of their way in 1989 to embarrass SMU.
This is the 30th anniversary of that game. Trust and believe if SMU can they are going to try to run up the score

 

[WVUALLEN]

^^^
This from a supposed Texas fan.

I am sure SMU and Houston have no clue about 1989. Holgorsen was born in 1971. I seriously doubt he remembers. Sonny Dykes was 20 years old. I doubt he even cares. There are player on both teams that were born between 1996-2001.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Sonny Dykes does care. This is what he is using to bring SMU back.

 

[TownesVanZandt]

If you have The Athletic here is an article from yesterday.

What Cougar High did was one of the more shit bag moves I have seen in college football.
That is why Dana probably likes the school. They don't care.

[WVUALLEN]

Yeah right. Sonny Dykes was a baseball player for Texas Tech 1989-1993. He didn't get into coaching football until 1994 in Texas high schools. I seriously doubt he is using this for any kind of motivation.

SMU football had just come off the death penalty.

 

[WVUALLEN]

If a coach and team is worried about something from 30 years ago then they have no business playing football.
