What in the living F? I never said that the game was worth more than a person's life...nor did I ever imply that.Doug said:What it could have been? Don't you mean what it would have been? Some girl found dead, so that she couldn't talk after being raped. I am so thankful that it got exposed when it did. it would have been so much worse. No silly game is worth a person's life.Gust Avrakotos said:It is sad to me...because I think about what could have been. Call it what you will.Doug said:It's not sad, it's reality. Briles has been tried in the court of public opinion. He lost in an overpowering way. Instead of trying to clear his name, he has gone underground. That was his choice. What is unique is that his only support and semblance of backing comes from the small handful of Millennials of Baylor University, and some left-over old coaches, who would support ANY coach still breathing. It just goes to show... to some, winning is everything. How you achieve it... not important.Gust Avrakotos said:wow..if this is really true.....how sad it is.Doug said:
I have the misfortune of seeing Arthur Ray Briles, 2 or 3 times a week. His mailbox is in the same section as mine in the Horseshoe Bay Post Office. He doesn't come by car, he comes on an ATV that he takes from Escondido to the post office across a grassy field. He parks it on the side of the post office... out of view. Art doesn't want to be seen. Art is a total recluse in Horseshoe Bay. Outside of his post office trips and a standing breakfast at 6:00am at Julies, no one ever sees him. The man has a membership to Escondido. A private compound, with a guardhouse at the front. It is not accessible to the public. It's Art's little private world. He looks tired, shaggy, and gray. He is a prisoner of the world he created. You speak to him at the post office.. he doesn't speak back. He will live and die at Escondido. He's going no where. He will never get another coaching job. He knows it.. the people of Horseshoe Bay know it. He has no one to blame but himself. He gets no pity from his fellow residents. The man is a recluse... people like it that way. They want nothing to do with him. He is a prisoner of the world he created. Horseshoe Bay proudly claimed Spike Dykes, Emmory Bellard, Fred Akers, and DKR as residents... no one acknowledges the residence of Briles.
I know...Art made his bed and he has to lay in it. But what could have been. Jeez.
Art made a huge mistake and he will pay for it for the rest of his life. I don't give a flying you know what what you call it...that is SAD to me that a man's life was ruined by poor choices. Don't freaking assume that it would have resulted in a homicide. You don't know what would have happened and neither do I. But what did happen to the victims is TRAGIC and it is SAD to see what has become of Art.
I'd love to see the stupid crap you have done plastered all over the media for the world to see. Same for Thee. It's real easy to line up murder and mayhem for others when your skeletons are safe and cozy under wraps.
