God damn, that gives me chills. I was 3 years old in ‘88. Bring it home, boys!

Fuck Yeah!

It's good for you.

It is a free country. And we're on a message board devoted to a football team that plays at a Catholic university. I think it's perfectly acceptable for some to express their faith. (and their disappointment when people are openly hostile about it).

Go say something fucked up about another religion since you're so cool with your brazen distaste for Judeo-Christian belief. How about Mohammad? Allah? Hindus?

You've cocked the gun, may as well empty the clip while you're at it.

Look at you! If you want to ackshully do this, how about we start from a place of good faith.

You are saying I said something I didn't say. Changing what my comment is about to fit what you want it to. (A more honest question is why I went at @SportsingHard for trying to soft peddle the phrase "tar baby")

My issue is with "Judeo-Christian" beliefs being forced, one of the 10 commandments in this case, on others. My issue is @Chicago Domer telling people not to say words with literally only religious rules preventing them.

If I was actually firing a shot at judeo-christian beliefs, I'd be talking about god's approval of slavery or how the VAST majority of christian churches treat Paul as a better spiritual authority than Jesus or about a god that allows child cancer.

The absolute BEST part about this whole thing is that the ignore button exists.

If we get another year from Mickens - it is a miracle.

Position coach thread or holy war. Just another Thursday afternoon at IE

Yep, I’m just hoping we don’t lose Mickens. You couldn’t blame him to take a DC position if one opened up. I wonder if Freeman would consider naming him, Co DC if that were to happen?

 

[GrangerIrish24]

If Mickens leaves, I will definitely take the Lords name in vain.

Or if I stub my toe…

And can’t promise anything if I get stuck behind a school bus when I’m late for work.

I hope we had an assistant following him around all year in part to help him but really just trying to take in his talent selection secrets.

Mickens has done what he's done with maybe B levels of "on-paper" recruits. It's going to be scary once these guys are established.

Did Xavier Watts make all his improvement under Mickens?
It seems like it. He did 3 years under Mickens?
Watts, Morrison, Moore, Johnson, Schuler. Dang (my preferred alternative to blasphemy).

O'Leary was his coach for most of his career. Mickens was just his last year.

The worst

 

[AlaskanIrish]

Such an odd experience to log on to IE after skiing all day in a snow storm only to find I’ve inadvertently started a shit storm here.

For the record, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I was raised Catholic. My family and many of my friends are Catholic. While I’m no longer Catholic, or any other religion, I would lose some of the most important people in my life if I harbored some sort of Catholic hate. To each their own. All good.

I don’t much care for those who try to police what others say. But again, to each their own.

Anything further than that, and I’ll just have to refer you to another former Catholic, Bill Burr:

“Have a beer. Go fuck yourself. Whatever.”

Or every time I get killed in CoD
Or CJ gets stacked
Or OSU gets another W against the Irish

I don't think you're far off. Something tells me that's what Jevaughn Codlin was, stashed as an assistant dline coach.
If Mickens bails, I'll circle back to this.

Freeman, Mary and Joseph. It's all good, guys.

Every day on twitter.

Every. Day.

what does that mean? (I know it means "slow and steady wins the race" but why twitter it?)

Coaches can be weird about posting motivational shit on social media. They're always posting stuff like this or motivational Bible verses or or shit like "The Struggle." (like, just "The Struggle", send tweet.

I used to follow DMac when he was ND's RB coach and that dude posted whack motivational shit all the time (in addition to praising his kids, which was pretty cool Dad shit). Seider just praises his RB's and RB commits.

Mike Mickens deserves every penny of his next contract for what he has done for the ND secondary.

 

[ulukinatme]

Came for Mickens news, stayed for the "gosh darns"

If we get another year from Mickens - it is a miracle.

Yeah, I'm holding my breath. Still a lot of Carousel to turn, lot of vacancies and possibly more to come. I would hate to be a school searching for any type of coach this year. <says some prayers>

What in Gods name is going on in this thread??

The clean version!

This was fuckin' on point!

Tech matches Florida's money for OC Buster Faulkner. Faulkner goes to Florida anyway.
