Thread: The negative power of unspoken words

    Why use the term traitor, UL should have paid her what she was worth. I am sure it was hard for her to leave the team she built. But think about this, wouldn't you leave your current employer if someone else offered 2.5x -3.0x your current pay with the same job responsibilities?

A traitor is not one who leaves your side in plain view of all to cast their lot with another. imo

    I haven't seen any evidence of Yvette or Robe being a "traitor" to any school employing them, but each to our own. _
    Just picking nits, but I would use the term "spy" to desribe someone who fits your definition much like Skorzeny's troops during the Ardennes Offensive. A traitor is one of your own who for some reason, usually either idiology or financial gain, turns on you and joins the other side such as Benedict Arnold during the Revolutionary War.

    Benedict Arnold...now here's a situation where Foote could really his favorite term. I wonder if he will refer to Yvette that way?

    I wish you were around when I left my ex wife for a younger girl. She thought my confession of love was above the looks of an attractive younger girl (serious assets, if you know what I mean). I not only knabbed me a little babe, but I took the kids and left the old hag without a dime. Needless to say, the old hag doesn't think kindly of me now. She had the nerve to remove a plaque she gave me that said "to my wonderful, loyal husband". I thought that was so tacky. I was loyal and wonderful up to the point I shafted her old butt. What's wrong with her? Yes, I told her I loved her, and even passed on opportunities to hook up with younger, prettier girls in the past... but I couldn't pass it up that last time. I'm a good dude and certainly not a "traitor". Well, in truth, my ex wife was there for me and with me in my weakest years, but once my career took off, I just couldn't turn down all that young tang that was coming my way.

    Could you write to my ex and explain to her that everyone leaves what they claim to love when money or hot sex is made available? <----- this is not a true story... but I think you can figure out the analogy.

I am currently glad that we don't play in softball and hope that continues!! _
    quite understandable opinion in light of a 3-13 record in softball, and the knowledge you've never come out of a regional that lsu was also in. i feel your pain.

You selectively target only UL people (of which your daughter is one) and think hard about questions and challenges to UL only. It is always a jab at UL, never any acknowledgement that isn't something ladened with ridicule and never add anything that is not pro-LSU. You of all people don't need to clear "the two-way street"... you are as "one-way" as I have ever seen... and again, with a daughter at UL. Pathetic. _
    below is my recent softball post; lots of ul ridicule, lots of pro-lsu, tons of jabs and challenges at ul.... ironic you used "pathetic" in your post--the exact adjective i had in mind for you; the noun i was thinking was "moron."

    yep; and then brignac beats lsu in the second round, and the cajuns go on to win the regional. they've already shown they can win in houston, and they're hotter now. they go to okla city with this freshman/sophomore-laden pitching staff. they are real good.

    ANYWAY, 2 hours till game time. ECU watch out. _
    28 on act. the schools she listed on the app were tulane, lsu and ul. the test score document indicated that, with her number, she'd be in the top 40%of applicants to Tulane [pay the fee, get your B], top 30% at lsu, and, as i recall, top 10% at ul [her documents aren't here, i'm going by memory--called her, but no answer on the cell. i guess that would have something to do witht he 'less tough' to get in part]. went first year to lsu, dad's alma mater. got homesick. asked if it would be ok to come home and go to ul. no problem with me, as i was having the empty nest thing bad. she likes it at ul, liked it at lsu, but likes best of all being home. as to the earlier post, i'll have to ask her about her "allegiance." thanks to everybody for caring.

    As to the "traitor" thing, why is it ok for a coach to move from the Cowboys to the Cajuns without having a negative label affixed to their back but not ok to move from the Cajuns to the Tigers?

    Best of luck to both teams in the regional. _
    You know I didn't think about that, but Its the way she left UL and how she carried herself after moving.
