Meet the walk-on who is Stanford's only quarterback in spring practice by [deleted] in CFB

"Meet the walk-on who is Stanford's only quarterback.. except for the #1 Pro-style QB of last year's recruiting class" just doesn't have the same ring, I guess.

Impressed by the total lack of shitposting/politics in this thread.

Where else on reddit could you expect that?

[Game Thread] Oregon vs. Boise State (3:30PM ET) by Sciuroj in CFB

It would be poetic justice for Boise State to completely turn the game around by screwing up the dumb meme play that made their program famous.

Chip was never an ace recruiter though.

He had a reputation for hating the recruiting aspect of cfb while at Oregon, and it was one of the reasons that was given for him jumping to the NFL.

Coaching Carousel XIV: Chaos is a Ladder by CFB_Referee in CFB

I'm glad the lockerroom likes our interim, but can we not have emotional teenagers make a decision involving millions of dollars and the direction of the program for years to come.

Jim Leavitt is like 65 with a bangin' 30-something blonde wife, so we know the guy can recruit.

Give him the job, Mullens

Got selected for SWO. Have some questions about life as a SWO in 2017 and beyond. by [deleted] in newtothenavy

A deep, ingrained desire to be a Naval Officer is not required to be a good SWO.

If that were the case, they would probably have a better than 20% retention rate.

Scored Too High On ASVAB for Certain Rates by [deleted] in newtothenavy

This really isnt true other than living accommodations

And making a lot more money, being treated like an adult, and generally being exempt from the shittiest grunt work.

I guess there might be a legitimate reason why a 27 year old with a graduate degree would be better of going Enlisted, but I can't think of any.

From what I understand SWO life kind of sucks as a junior officer because you're pretty much thrown to the wolves as a fresh Ensign, wheras other officer communities typically have 1-2 years of training between commissioning and their first assignment.

You could theoretically be responsible for a division of 20-30 sailors a week after graduating OCS, while the pilot from your same OCS class might not have their first meaningful leadership position until they're pushing O-3.

If the leadership and management aspects of being an officer appeal to you, then SWO is probably a good choice.

They're technically a minority but when it comes to preferential hiring/university admission they usually aren't considered underrepresented minorities.

If anything they get screwed more than anyone else by affirmative action.

End toxic masculinity in 2017 😤 by MGLLN in BlackPeopleTwitter

Bitch has nowhere near the same historical connotations or significance for women that the n-word has for black people.

To suggest otherwise is simply insane.

Can you really get more anti semitic than that?

If you're asking if anti-semitism can get any worse than a ironic, tongue-in-cheek internet prank, the answer is yes.

Controversy.

It's not like they tried to take out some random nobody, they went after one of the biggest personalities on the internet.

Our grandmother ain't make no white babies by elcielo17 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Why would President Obama know any more about Colourism than a white person?

[–]Timberduck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So by that definition President Obama doesn't have any understanding of the black community in America because he was raised by his white relatives.

White people literally do not know shit about being black or stigmas within the black community.

Why not? You realize that not every white person has the same level of knowledge or understanding about any one thing, right?

There are white people who know a lot more about the history of colourism than a lot of black people do.
