[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 668476, member: 2175"] Now, back up a bit. If by "have fun culture" you mean Clemson -- and it is so far beyond that simplicity you don't seem to get it, and you really should listen to Swinney talk sometime to learn what a really serious and smart guy he is, and how difficult and far flung his "culture" was to instill -- then I am all in as he would say. If you mean blaming the other guy, pushups on the sideline and posturing for cameras, I ain't. (Want an exercise? Try to find one example of Swinney seeming to blame Tommy Bowden for anything. He took his lumps and plowed ahead.) I am willing to have any civil discourse on most any subject save religion -- a non-winner at the get-go -- but to conflate the so-far nebulous "have fun" culture -- your term -- with racial bigotry and hate is so far out of bounds it is demeaning. That is what kept African-Americans off the field at Alabama and Georgia Tech, even as Eddie Robinson at Grambling was conflicted between his quest for racial equality and the incredible athletic gifts segregation handed him as a result. Ask your many African-American friends for their views. I am willing to accept an unfortunate and thoughtless choice of analogies because sometimes a mouth is running wide open when the brain is disengaged, particularly when the owner is new to adulthood. As for change, I have an iPad and a cell phone, and even carry one of those debit card thingies, so take that. Next week my daughter promises to teach me to drive an automatic transmission. I think I can handle a coaching change. It is the quality of it that I question. And of course hating on us "oldies". To suggest those of a certain age are bigots is hateful. while I would suggest those younger just need some maturity. Now it 6 p.m. and my bed time. [/QUOTE]
