I've read this comment a couple different ways:

#1  "I wish I could've played for him (in the past if Jim was at UM and I could redo my college career)."

or

#2  "I wish I could've played for him (in the future if he had stayed in the NFL and drafted me)."

Not trying to detract from the 95% of the readers who likely read as interpritation #1, but I am curious if anyone else thought he possibly meant #2.

Bottom line doesn't necessary change much:  Jameis has strong manlove for our Harbaugh and this is outstanding PR for UM football.

using the past tense to refer to future events. I know it's unimportant in this case, but it's not fair to assume that people meant to use poor grammar and to twist their words around accordingly. What he said was perfectly clear. I'll assume that if he meant something else as your speculating, he's perfectly capable of expressing that clearly as well.

Yes, I could have posted this on page 77 of that thread and then someone else would have posted it at an OP 5 minutes later...New article, different content, but yes, same topic. Surprised you didn't find any punctuation or grammar complaints in my post to rif on.

This made me laugh because it's so true. One up vote for you.

 

Seriously, you're right. However you forgot one thing. If someone else had made the post, it would have been upvoted 50 times with no downvotes and no one would have complained because that's how the circle of misery around here works. 

Actually if you included something about what you were drinking, we probably wouldn't be addressing this issue. ;)

Some people in this place are stuffier than a turkey on Thanksgiving. They seemingly feel they are some type of noble defender of the mgoblog ethos, ready to pounce on any poor sod who unwittingly stumbles in thier attempt to particpate.

They also, seemingly, prefer a static blog. This Was Not the same as that as I couldn't open the video.

Thank you OP!

Winston: "It was a blessing to meet a guy like that. It was an honor to meet him. All of his accomplishments, and the type of coach that he is, I wish I could have played for him." Don't tell that to 11 Warriors according to them Harbaugh was wasting his time.

in FSU's defense, we damn well BETTER have nicer indoor facilities than they do, given that we probably use them a ton more.  FSU can probably practice outside far more often than we can, especially if you are talking about end of season practices around Bowl Game time.

1000 points to you. All these a-holes who say she had no evidence are full of shit. She went to the police and didn't know who her rapist was. He hadn't started a game, and she only singled him out after seeing him in a class, and waiting for his name to be called. That is not someone looking to have sex with a guy and then extort money from him. Just because TPD and FSU didn't do a proper investigation from the start and they couldn't get the evidence to prove it doesn't mean she is a lying whore. I refrained from posting my personal opinions on this--until some jackass called her a whore. I feel sorry for future daughters of that jackass.

Agreed 100% with you. This whole "bros before hoes" mentality (at least in the sense of where it will hurt/harm a woman) needs to go away along with victim blaming. 

It reminds me of an episode of Dr. Phil I came across the other week of the Vanderbilt FB players that were convicted of a savage rape on a girl in the dorms. Anyone catch that? I can't believe that these guys thought it was okay to just take advantage of someone because they were passed out. It's just mind boggling the pack mentality some of these men  run with and those who support them blindly.

I think the problem here is that everyone is jumping right to extremes in an issue they no nothing about.  If any of you were in the place that the accused allegedly raped the supposed victom, then you have a right to state such things as calling the accuser a whore or calling someone who calls the accuser a whore, a misogynistic pig.  None of you know the facts so why not just keep your mouths shut on the matter.

No. The problem is this thinking that a woman is a bitch or whore because she has accused a man of raping her. That is victim blaming. Like you said, we don't know the facts here but from what I could understand from your fuzzy logic, you make it sound like it's perfectly okay to call a woman that just because she has had, at one point, accused a man of raping her. Is that what you're saying?

I just want to be clear here. Just because it didn't go to trial or the case was dropped doesn't mean it didn't happen. I can cite numerous cases where the victim dropped it from backlash--i.e. victim blaming and other threats. It ends up not being worth it to the victim because it's made to feel that it's their fault. Not saying that is what happened here, but just pointing out not going to trial or being dropped doesn't mean shit and it happens more than you wish to believe.

Everyone can smoke and mirror this dog and pony show all they want....end result is that I saw  a little boy on this board call a  woman a whore because she accused a man of rape. I'm not going to sugar coat and will call it as I see it.  He is what he is.... a pig.

Some of you are forgetting that these women you view as bitches, sluts, and whores is someone's sister, wife, girlfriend, daughter, and mother. Think on that for a bit.

You misunderstood me completely and I am not using fuzzy logic at all.  I am just taking emotion out of the discussion.  I am not calling anyone a bitch, slut, whore, or pig...I am pretty sure I remained neutral in the whole discussion.  Some of you are so hyped up about this that you are seeing some angle to my words that doesn't exist. 

Let me hopefully clear this up.  It is my belief, that if a person has been raped, and comes forward to accuse their attacker, they should not be called anything but courageous.  To call them a whore is beyond abhorrent.  These individuals face more barricades that are unfairly built around them and breaking through them is anything but easy.  The psychological effects they have endured cannot just be tossed aside. I have witnessed the negative effects of rape personally and there is nothing that infuriates me more than this subject.  If anyone has raped another individual, I don't think there is a punishment on this earth that is harsh enough.  

On the flip side, if someone falsely accuses a person of rape, that person is worse than any name given them.  (I am not saying that is the case here). That is my opinion and it does happen.  There are people who do that.  Sometimes we make decisions that we regret, and some people cannot take responsibility for their own actions.  Again, I am not saying she did.  In that case, it is not victim blaming because the victim is the accused. If someone were to call a person who does this a whore...more power to them.  

Negging me for staying neutral is kind of baffling, since none of us know the truth.  None of my words agreed or disagreed with either side, I simply said no one has a right to speak without the facts.  Just because I won't join the mob and stick a pitchfork in someone, doesn't mean I am in agreement with them or share their ideals.  His words were his own and certainly not words I would have ever chosen or words that I believe are true.  I do believe that he has ignorantly spoken them because he has chosen a side without all of the facts and would hope that his statements do not come from being inherently misogynistic.  I also think that calling him anything but ignorant is a mistake because he may truly believe that this woman has lied, however potentially misguided that belief is since it is impossible for him to know the truth. 

I hope this clears it up as I would hate for anyone to think that I would align myself with victim bashing or a "bros before hoes" mentality that I myself cannot tolerate.  This post is now a day removed from the thread and no one may even read this but at least my words are out there.

This article is just quotes from the mgoblue video that was posted earlier. That being said, still awesome that it is getting national coverage....
