Keep acting like 100% of Briles' sins are out there in the public. The sheep around here will buy it. Say it another two dozen times and you may believe it yourself.gobbeldygook said:
People wanted this topic to die a swift death the moment Briles was fired. Cognitive dissonance at its finest. The available information that damns Briles revolves around text messages regarding one player with a gun who threatened someone and another, Oakman I believe, that harassed a masseuse. These issues stayed hidden from Judicial Affairs. Along with other minor issues these are fireable offenses
It is my opinion that Briles shouldn't have been fired. He should have been suspended like Urban Meyer next week. That decision was the worst move for PR purposes. It either wittingly or unwittingly scapegoated the football program.
The Briles saga is essentially over. It will, however, linger in the minds of all Baylor alumni for at least 20 years as the most poorly run scandal management in college history, barely removed from a previous scandal. We should not forget this and constantly ask ourselves, "Why does this continue to happen at our alma mater?" "What is the source?" These are important questions in rooting out the real problem.
Why do we keep getting scandals? Because our fans are a bunch of animals. Ostriches with their heads in the sand when their hero is winning. Whiny, irritated sheep waiting to be sheared again after we get caught.
