    Did someone REALLY mention HWSRUN (He who shall remain un-named) back on page 3?

    Seriously???

    My only concern here is that we will do what we almost ALWAYS do, and that is go CHEAP, and hire an unproven commodity, and hope for the best (that we just hired the next Jim Valvano). And it never works out. In another 4-6 years, we will be posting the same types of comments about our NEXT next coaching hire. Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

    For once, I would like to see us hire a PROVEN guy and pay him what he’s worth. We will NEVER be great again doing what we’ve been doing.

    Redskins is not offensive. To anyone. Nobody cares about this except liberals that like to get their panties in a wad in their self-righteousness. They like to make an issue out of nothing, so they can irritate the you-know-what out of everyone.

    I don’t even like the Redskins (grew up a Cowboys fan, now a Panthers convert). But I hope they keep their mascot because of all the history around it. It wasn’t about lynchings. It wasn’t about racial slurs. It is a football team mascot. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. And because it will irritate the liberals who are needlessly making a big deal out of nothing.

    When one hears the term “Redskins,” they don’t think indians. They think FOOTBALL TEAM. If we’re all perfectly honest about it.

    This is just a stupid matter. And I haven’t even weighed in on the government forcing this change. Essentially, that is what is happening. They know canceling the trademark will result in lost revenue for the REDSKINS organization, and likely lead to a mascot change. The government is trying to force something on the people that is unwanted and unnecessary (which is nothing new, since the same can be said for the Affordable Care Act).

    This is just a political move. And a distraction from the other REALLY important things they are doing to us.

    I think this is the kind of thing that some politicians like seeing us squabble over… because we’re getting all riled up about this instead of the stuff THEY are doing in Washington that REALLY matters.

    How about the Washington THIN-Skins?

    That being said, Cunningham has already publicly stated he thinks there is room for improvement. What improvements those might be will certainly be worth watching.

    They need to improve their cheating.

    They have no business complaining about fans not coming back to their seats in a timely fashion, after halftime I mean. We get scorcher noon games in early September, and the opponents are lackluster, as well. And it sounds like we may have scheduled the worst kind of “easy game” — one that can actually beat us.

    I just paid off my LTRs, so I’m not anxious to stop buying tickets yet. But if this keeps up, I may just do that.

    Why is it that refs (or umps in this case) who are in absolutely NO POSITION to see the play… so quick to call it against State?

    The football player NOT stepping out of bounds against Clemson, called out of bounds by a ref chasing the play from behind.

    This baseball play.

    And I still recall the ref in the back of the end zone at UN*C (football) saying TA’s knee was down, when there were 4-5 players MINIMUM between his eyes and TA’s knee.

    And lots of others in between.

    All things being equal, if this was simply incompetence on the part of the officials, then OCCASIONALLY one of these horrendous calls would go OUR WAY. But they never do. So this is not incompetence, it is BIAS.

    Period.
