The Missouri coaching search is very sobering and a reality check for UK fans to watch

Actually, I am very well educated on the facts. And the number that you threw out there was greatly influenced by the number of criminals that were trying to harm others, or the cop's themselves. You telling me to educate myself and then making those statements is very telling.
I could tell you a story to prove the fact that, yes, there are instances where cops kill people when it isn't necessary. But I could also prove, that in reality, the number killed by cops are much greater due to the actions of the criminal, not the cop.
You mention videos on the internet to educate yourself. You even said that you choose to not be educated if you don't see the facts. So do you choose to not be educated by the facts that there is also many cops who get killed in the line of duty that is never reported as it doesn't fit the agenda of the cry me a river crowd because everyone is keeping us down. If we really want the number to go down, we would teach people the value of a job and education instead of teaching them to be criminals that lead to killing of BOTH criminals AND police officers.
I don't understand the point you are so desperately trying to make. Are you saying when a cop kills an unarmed black man its the black mans fault?
In any case I'm done talking about this on a football board as it is just a trigger for some immature ranting and name calling that is beneath the dignified threshold that is supposed to be set here.
Folks this is a sports board. If you want to discuss issues like politics and race relations please take it over onto the Paddock/Political Tread.
BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND:
rumor this late afternoon that tomorrow Mizzou will promote their DC Odom to being head coach
and if Muschamp is indeed hired by USCjr, that would be 3 for 3 SEC East jobs going to DC's this offseason. And 3 times UK avoided a division rival hiring an exciting wide open offense-first coach.

I agree Levi, but their also more likely to be doing something to get themselves killed. Dealing drugs looks like easy money to a lot of black kids but once they start, it's hard for them to get out. I live in Louisville, and have a lot of young black men working for me. I have paid for them to get and education, had some black policemen, who are my friends talk to them, but it's hard to get them to change. Most of them don't have a father figure in their life.
Their good kids, but they see a drug dealer or pimp, who has a wad of money, and it's hard to get them to listen when their only making $14 or 15 dollars an hour. I don't have the answer, but I wish I did.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Well the guy who just retired has had success as far as they are concerned so why not promote and keep consistency. I don't think Missouris needs are our needs
We could have a decent conversation and find common ground but I'm not going to take this board down to the crap level talking about something other posters can't. It's a sports board.
.....Leach is a better coach than what we have....did you see what a unranked vandy team did to us ...? ....and we had to go to over time to beat ,EKU.and lucky to have beat them... All i heared was the hype why not us.....now that my friends is hype....
solid, not great. zero head coaching experience, and not exactly a hot candidate anywhere else except Memphis.
as they are a rival in our division, I'm pretty happy they didnt hire Dykes or Calhoun or Herman.
I said they settled because they tried to hire outside and were not able to find a coach who would take the job. Odom was clearly not their first choice.
and that is why there are old saw's like.... "you can lead a horse to water....." .... it is what it is.....
What did Vandy do to us other than have more points at the end? We beat ourselves in that Vandy game.
Willivic ,you are right on the fundamental problem of trying to break this seemingly,never ending cycle of poor choices,wasted lives! Until you can reunite families of all color, and have that parental influence,guidance , it will be very difficult to positively affect/solve these problems! The government is a poor substitute for committed parents!
