With Coutts at Cal, Cajuns adding grad-transfer punter from Cincinnati

Go back and read post 31-33 it was a response to daddy Cajun. He said he hoped the kids in the program turn out to be great men and fathers. I simply stated some are already fathers and not starting on the right foot for that to happen. If they got no income for support. What I stated are simply facts that libtards cannot except. (I realize this is not cookie cutter all or none I said some)

You've only listed opinions, your own racist opinions. You should stop watching so much Fox News Bicky. Nutria won't trap themselves.

If by "some" you meant 2 out of 25, then yea.. maybe so. And that's a much MUCH more promising number than the national average.

Still doesn't explain why you launched into a crusade over it.

Society has already ruled on this issue. We aren't forcing anyone to drop out of college to support their offspring. They still get Pell grants, they still get to work their way through, they still can get a free ride from dad and mom. Nobody is forced to immediately start contributing if they're being educated. At least that's my understanding.

Why should athletes be treated differently? A guy with a 4.0 in computer science isn't forfeiting his all expense scholarship to start working at Walmart. What's different about a young man who's working towards a degree and exceeding as an athlete. His scholarship isn't free. He's working outside class a minimum of twenty hours a week. He's providing a service that the computer science kid isn't. That kids ( computer science kid) only job is to maintain a adequate GPA to retain an all expense paid education who may or may never contribute a dime to UL, or the state of Louisiana.

I see you must have past liberal 101 with flying colors. When you are on the wrong side of an argument start throwing out isims racism, sexism, homophobism.... you know the rest.

Just for the record at my kids school the development director and PA guy for TC is man of color and very good guy, good father and good friend of mine, Clarence Glenn former Cajun coached my kid in middle school great guy and great father, a former city councilman known for carving MLK in a desk has a son that has spent the night at my house numerous times, we may disagree on politics but he is a great father. The Guidry's, Little's, Tauriac's, and Boutte's that I went to high school and played ball with, all of color very good friends and had very good fathers. For me this has never been about race but about a man taking ownership of his action. Just a man manning up and being a man. If there is a particular race that is more guilty of not taking responsibility for their action I did not create that and have no control over it.

The people you described are the ones who fill up married student housing on campus for the most part. A very large % of people in married student housing got pregnant unexpectedly.

Bicky I know where you went to school. You shouldn't have common sense discussions with liberals. You know you can't fix stupid.

When you have to start naming all of the "men of color" that you associate with.. well that doesn't bode well for you.. Your statements speak loud and clear, Sir.

What exactly did Hawk say that qualifies as stupid to you?

I was waiting for the first moron to say just that. I thought it would be hawk though. Congratulations you beat him out for that crown. Obviously I don't have space for a novel. Just saying if I were "racist" as insinuated would I have any black friends or let black kids spend the night over. Isn't the definition of racist someone who hates an entire race of people strictly because of color?

Charlie, you're my guy.. so understand that I mean no harm. Morality is a subjective thing. Evolving intellectually is also different for everyone. Background is everything, especially at 18-22.

I understand the groups that subscribe to the same ideology (i.e. Catholic, baptists, Mormon etc) will say there is a set of guidelines, but IMO it is arrogant to believe a certain sect of folk have the answers to all. Not to mention, there are plenty of players, in all of our sports, that can both afford playing, schooling and raising a kid (financially). And before anyone starts telling me they didn't accept help from others when raising their kids at some point or another, please spare me. I was captain bootstrap before real life happened to me. It's horse____, let's just be honest here.

My only comment was to the idea that somehow what is morally acceptable should be relaxed based on socioeconomic realities.

No doubt societal morals evolve....for good and bad. No doubt a "mistake" shouldn't define a person...especially when they discover that mistake was the greatest thing to ever happen to them. I only object to the idea that morality is flexible based on how poor you may or may not be.

I have no problem with players being helped if they put themselves in that position....as long as they are 100% committed to doing the right thing for the life they created. But that's an issue of compassion, not flexible morality.
