I never said anything about sheltering them from it, but there probably is an age or level of maturity that a child needs to have to be exposed to “adult” things.  I’d just try get across to them that it’s not in line with my values and hopefully teach them to have more respect for themselves and others.  I just think saying “the world is the way it is” is a way to lower the bar on acceptable social norms.

That's fair. To each their own and I mean no animosity. Just don't think it's that big of a deal.

Yeah teaching your kids to have class and be respectful is way overrated.  I tend to want to teach my kids to do the right thing, not conform to what the world is doing.  

Also don't wanna get too philosophical, but teaching your kids to do the right thing and conforming to the world aren't always mutually exclusive.

And maybe sheltering from a situation where they'd be faced with making that decision isn't the best way to think? Teaching your children to be good people and sheltering them from the world seem like conflicted ideals in my mind. I'm old. I don't feel the need to do the chant. But it's funny and has personality. I don't think it's quite the scourge some would have you think.

Do you have children?

How is that relevant? I hope my children have better understanding of context than you all do. I don't think treating my kids like they're dumb is how to do it. The world is the way it is and trying to pretend it isn't doesn't seem great for their development.

Down vote me all you want, but pull back some of those donations to the Athletic Department, or to UNT itself and Wren Baker and Dr. Smastrek will stop the trashing of our fight song.  Have some class folks!

I can't imagine being this fragile.

I love that we do this pearl-clutching routine every year because it means we're not too far from the football season actually starting.

I know this will fall on deaf ears, but why is it acceptable to yell mother fu$!# in public at a college football game but nowhere else?

Something about it being a bloodsport for our entertainment or something, I'm not sure. I don't disagree with the time and place argument, but it's sorta silly if we zoom out and remember the whole culture surrounding football (or brutal contact sports in general). I played ice hockey all my life and I can tell you that I never had a coach that wasn't cursing like a sailor, and that's a sport known for its class and respect despite that fact.

Yep, because what the crowd yells determines where they end up.  Mother F'ing gets leads you up the ladder while something that doesn't include derogatory terms leads you back down.  Got it.

Idk man, I've been in Death Valley hearing some 15k students yell about fellating a Tiger so who knows?

Or have some class and understand there are also kids at the games.  So tired of this discussion every year and why people think this is acceptable.

Won't somebody think of the children?!

We're still on a level above all of those schools though. Remind me how much UNT gets a year from the CUSA media deal. UH is 53rd in revenue out of all NCAA schools.  UNT is in the 100s I think.

At least Army didn't hang 70 on us after an 8-4 season.

I think Darden looks incredible.  Don’t understand why we don’t talk about him more.

I rewatched the UAB game and he was absolutely tearing it up. They couldn't cover him.

It's just misplaced virtue signaling. Nobody here disagrees with honoring veterans but it wasn't really germane to this post on this board.

It's been more than a full business day and we have no official statement from anyone at UNT or SL's camp. To me that's not a good sign.

It would be a really bad look to have Wren tweet back at a fan to reassure Seth's staying and then have his coach sniped a day later.

This is great news for Coach Bill Clark and the entire UAB community.  With this increase and their new facilities, UAB has now moved themselves into the financial area where they will certainly be given strong consideration for AAC membership.

If the Alabama BOR didn't want this program to exist as a CUSA program, they're DEFINITELY not going to let AAC come calling.

Yeah I don't know if that guy's twitter response came off as cool and unfazed as he might have thought. Rico was talking to a reporter and then this guy goes out of his way to respond on twitter. He's all in his own head

There saying Sling TV the orange package is how you can watch tomorrow's game.

This is what I'm doing in Razorback land. I got the 7 day free trial on Sling and will cancel before it hits my account. It was very easy to get set up.

I know this is a college newspaper, but you would think they would know that NT loses millions of dollars on football versus they make money.

College football players already get room and board plus a generous stipend to play ball.  

This is talking about the NCAA playing players, not the school. It's right there in the title...

[NCAA should pay student athletes]

If the NCAA is going to continue being a multi-billion dollar business, there should be a payment model for the kids. Period. That's just how you run businesses. Didn't realize so many on this board were anti-capitalist.

I guessing people that moderate don't appreciate my online free stream idea? (question about my deleted reply from earlier)

Well sites definitely get taken down or sent DMCA notices for hosting links like that, so I get it. I would say you could make the offer and then let people know via DM, but I'm not a mod.

[BEIN Sports Free Stream?]

I went ahead and did the 7 day trial for Sling as well. It was very easy to sign up. I just set a calendar reminder to cancel the sub before it hits my account next week.
