It is a shame my son could not find a place on this SFA team. He has tried to walk on twice and both times was not selected. He tells me he outran most of the other LB's in the tryouts, and had a great standing long jump. He was a 100m and 200m guy in high school track. I realize he is lightweight for a LB, but I think he could do fine on special teams like kickoff coverage. Even if he never saw the field for SFA though, his Deans List GPA would definitely benefit the program. He has just became a Senior, so, he might give it just one more try. We sometimes wonder if his ethnicity works against him

I am not sure why my last post was deleted. I said nothing wrong. I will definitely still wonder about his ethnicity being a factor. Your "guarantee" is nothing but words on a fan forum. In sports espically, biases DO exist.Jacks4460 said:SFAfan said:

No need to wonder I can guarantee 100% that with this staff your sons ethnicity doesn't matter...
You answered your first sentence with your third. Your post and the subsequent replies were all deleted because this forum does not allow defamatory speech (as listed in the user agreement). The charge of racism or "reverse racism" against the football staff - even the supposition or "wondering" about it - is tacitly made to impugn the character of the organization.Quote:

My apoligies, I operated under the assumption this was (within reason) an open forum, not just an echo chamber for happy SFA talk. On the heels of a multi-sport postseason ban, I guess some things are too touchy to talk about. Its just too bad more Deans List student-athletes did not have the opportunity to participate. Likely the ban could have been avoided, don't you think?nacluth said:You answered your first sentence with your third.

While indeed biases do exist, floating the charge of one on a public forum to account for your disapproval of a decision made against your son is not acceptable here. It was not the intent to start a conversation on the role of biases in collegiate sports but to cast aspersion.
Please do not feel like moderation means that we do not want your contribution to our forum, but broad insinuations against the ethics of SFA sports staffs are not allowed.

It is an open forum. Anyone is welcome to post, and this place is more open/rule less than probably any other sports forum that you could find. You haven't been here long enough if you think it's an echo chamber of only happy SFA talk. Everyone is welcome to share their opinion good or bad, 2018-2019 basketball season clearly shows that. Nothing of what you were talking about has or had anything to do with the bans and punishment. But you know that.SFAfan said:My apoligies, I operated under the assumption this was (within reason) an open forum, not just an echo chamber for happy SFA talk.

I'd pump the brakes on Top-4 rounds...that is borderline insanely undoable. He would need to have incredible/INCREDIBLE numbers to jump that high. 4th rounders are guys drafted who have a real expectation from the team of making the club immediately.Jacks4460 said:
Tamrick will now get some good film on himself for the NFL scouts... This is huge seeing that the previous coaching staff thrashed him to the scouts... I could see Rick going in the Top 4 rounds with a good year... He was ready this year then the APR thing but that is all behind us now I dont even wanna think about APR... He has size, speed, hands, runs solid routes, and most of all is a leader by example...Works his tail off and with this Carthel staff he will be our next NFL player..
I'm on the same page here. Pace's physical attributes will put him on the radar, he'll need some numbers to back it up but he should be a decent candidate for a LATE round pick or a priority FA.SFA_03 said:
Tamrick(and likely Self next year) will get a more fair look than a lot of our past players got because of our style, the fact Carthel has NFL connections, and yes, his raw talent.
Don't get time wrong, top 4 rounds likely won't happen, but I also don't think he will be so far off the scouts radar that he won't hear his name called or have a legit chance to make a roster.
I feel the big difference will be the NFL connections that Carthel and staff have. We have never had a staff that has the NFL connections or respect that our current staff does... You are right I see a 75 for 1100 yds 10 TD type of season... We will just wait and see.. Talent is there and the work ethic is there. Self will make a big leap this year.. OL will be much much deeper this year and that will help Self..MasterAxe said:I'm on the same page here.

$450,000 guaranteed payday. Game will probably be played in Week 1 (Aug. 28-30).SFAXE93 said:
