Having freshman run onto the field with the players is a great move. Start early in recruiting the new students to be fans. If promoted strongly, it seems like one of the best things that could be done to "grab" new students and make them fans.

@skip-zip, the original post was about social inequality. If I currently feel gays shouldn't be refused services offered to everyone else solely because they are gay, I'm sorry there is no way in hell I'm going to change that opinion when I'm 50. Your may have changed your economic stance, but you still said you are for race equality. It wasn't something you "outgrew". Meanwhile, you are trying to say we will outgrow thinking gays should be treated equal.

I'm not a teacher. Hell, I nevr evan gradiated collage!

Ahem. Grammar.

Take a breath dude! BTW, spell-check is your friend. I sure hope that the other teachers UA produces have a better grasp of the basics of composition and grammar than you show on this forum. Red Herring https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring

Multiple offers went out yesterday. I love that they all have "higher" offers already. JG is showing that he is not afraid to fight for recruits right off the bat.

This is where I disagree with Kreed. The Democratic party IMHO has shifted to the left on social issues; but shifted to the RIGHT on Military, Taxes, Social Security, Helathcare (ACA was a Republican plan back in the 80's...Obama failed as a leader, to push for the Liberal plan of universal healthcare). The Republican party has shifted further to the Left. Had Bernie Sanders been the Democratic nominee, Trump losses. He appealed, and currently appeals, a great deal to the working class in this country. Enough so to swing Pennsylvania and Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. I wish I could say Ohio too, but I'm not willing to say it would. If you compare some of the thing Trump said on the campaign stump, especially on trade and healthcare (Trump advocated in stump speeches all the time for a closer to universal than the crap republicans are passing now) and rebuilding infrastructure, to Bernie Sanders. There was only one politician who has consistently polled in favorability double-digits above Trump during the election, and after: Bernie Sanders. And I'm tired of the freaking "grow-up" pandering you're throwing at us. No Skip, you need to. You're not smarter than us because of age. There are no "secrets" that you suddenly no now that you're in your 50's that we won't no. My grandfathers (both of them) are laughing in their graves at that comment, because they were older than you and wouldn't have agreed with a single word you espousing to us here. Neither would my mother, who is slightly older than you by about a decade. Either there's a drastic shift in the next decade of life, or your full of crap. You think you know better than we do, but you're wrong. We have access to more information now then ever in history, and we know what you're saying is horsecrap. Said for decades by older people musing over their lost youths. Here you go again, putting party labels on things. Party labels have nothing to do with how people voted 40 years ago and now. Democrats are not the holders of liberal ideas, despite the Republicans desperate attempts to demean/assign that over the decades. Will we be more "conservative" than those younger than us? Probably. Will be more liberal than you guys as a whole? ABSOLUTELY!

Yes, and what came out of that was the civil rights movement. I've stated it before and I'll state it again your generation is WAY more accepting than what your parents and grandparents generation were. There has probably never been such a large generational gap. We are more accepting than your generation and whatever generation is after the millennials will likely be more accepting than we are. It's just the natural progression of our society. Republicans have been loosing up on the social issues because society has dictated they had to. A blatant racist could get elected in the deep south 100 years ago without a second thought. Today they would be extremely criticized.

We can go back and forth on this but at the end of the day there were more liberal voters than there were conservative voters. That's a fact. There has always been more states that are red than blue. That's nothing new to this election. The democrat states are just generally the larger ones where the candidates win in the large cities by a vast majority. You have to remember many conservatives were disappointed with the Trump nomination because they felt he wasn't conservative enough, among other things. Once upon a time I defined myself as a democrat, but every election the democratic party has moved further away from the middle (hell Bernie Sanders was nearly their candidate), meanwhile, the Republicans have been running candidates closer to the middle as they know the typical conservative of 50 years ago wouldn't be winning in today's society. It's a big reason why Trump was able to flip registered democrats in states like Michigan and western PA. He appealed to the working middle class. A group democrats use to fight for, but have now abandoned to focus more on the lower class. Who here is making excuses. Go back and read my earlier post. I've already stated the Republican candidates won fair and square. It still doesn't change the fact there are still more voting liberals in this country than there are conservatives. A number that is only going to continue to grow as your generation dies off and more millennials enter the voting population.

I do vote and once again I don't identify myself as a liberal. I wasn't blocking streets and vandalizing nor were anyone that I know personally. Once again there were MORE liberals that voted. See the numbers that Balsy and I posted. Liberals are just more concentrated in large population centers. Cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, and LA vote are landslide victories for liberals where they pull anywhere from 85-90% of the vote. The fact they are so concentrated and not more spread out is what costs them seats. Obviously its you who doesn't understand how the system operates.

Any doors that have been closed on Millennials were not closed by anyone arguing on this board. They were closed by the fiscal criminal negligence of the previous two or three generations. No your hard work will not pay off. It can't. It's what they teach you in macro-economics 101. If your nations GDP runs in a major deficit for a long time and you have to borrow massive debt from other nations, your Standard of Living absolutely must suffer an economic correction. Cut right down to the core of the matter, if your nation as a whole is producing less and buying more, you need to produce more to offset your debt or pay for it with lower standard of living. There are no good high paying jobs for making things because on-the-whole, you aren't buying your own things as a national economy. There are ways to offset the loss of your standard of living. Tricks that the government and fed does. Borrowing and printing money are the most obvious. If you think the doors are closing now, just wait. The real correction hasn't really even started yet. You can thank everyone from the boomers to Gen-X. You're Fukkked! Political parties have nothing to do with it. They were and are all corrupt and criminally negligent arseholes, and they are untouchable.

Wait a second...did they follow my advice and make multiple posters, of different players? Or was that one just made specially for him?

Mixing two threads with one response (9100 attendance) I sure hope we are milking Jason's NFL HOF induction while he is 30 minutes away. I wonder if students even know he is UA alum. Great player, good looking, well spoken.........USE IT!!! Build a f*&%ing statue of him at the stadium.
