ADVERTISEMENT Ideally, that number is the average score Chizik would like to see the Longhorns' defense hold opponents to this season. "Any time you can be under 13 points for the year, you have a chance to win a lot of football games," he said. "Staying under 13 points is not easy. If you would throw out a number, that would be a good one to aim for." Under Chizik, Auburn led the nation in scoring defense (11.3 points per game) and ranked fifth in total defense (277.6 yards per game) in 2004. The Tigers, who went 13-0, also finished 10th in passing defense (173.5) and 12th in rushing defense (104.2). Chizik said he does not plan to make wholesale changes on defense during his first season at UT, which is breaking in a third defensive coordinator in as many years. Greg Robinson left in the offseason to become head coach at Syracuse. "We kept a lot of the same things," Chizik said. "There's only so many ways you can play defense." It also was announced Wednesday that the annual Texas-Oklahoma game will be called the SBC Red River Rivalry. The name change was announced as part of a new three-year sponsorship agreement with the two schools and SBC Communications Inc. The game formerly was known as the Red River Shootout. The name change was aimed at political correctness and to coincide with this year's 100th meeting between the two teams, a UT official said. This year's game is Oct. 8 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. What's next up on the "stupid liberal, lets change all the words and phrases" agenda. What is wrong with these silly bastards, that they won't just LEAVE SHIT ALONE, that hasn't bothered anyone for a hundred years, but now seems to be important enough, to turn a society, and it's language on it's head. Fuck anyone, who thinks that this "language modification", has accomplished anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

They are two of the "redest" states in the Nation. If I were to guess, this name change has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives. If my memory serves me correctly, The University of Oklahoma is headed by an well known ex Republican lawmaker. I can't remember his name but I bet someone else can.

But, it's obvious to me that the name change DOES in fact have to do with Liberal vs. Conservatives.... I'd venture to say that a Republican ex-lawmaker from OK had nothing to do with this change..... other than bowing down to the liberally fanatic whiners. It's a liberal "POLITICALLY CORRECT" move. I find that ridiculous.... especially after the many years of this rivalry. ***************** Get out of Iraq NOW....bring our men and women home.

It also could be because SBC has bought the rights to the game; many of these big corporations aren't exactly freedom friendly.

Liberal bile, pure and simple. If you can eliminate a word from the common vocabulary, you've eliminated the problem... It's sorta like cutting off your pecker, to cure your case of the clap. BULLSHIT, is all I have to say. What's next, modifying the titles of classic films and books, like say, the "Gunfight at the OK corral"... ? I can see it now, the politically correct version, "The negligent use of firearms, by two opposing beligerent parties of white male christian caucasians, at the place where animals are kept cruelly penned, before being shipped off for slaughter...

If it angers some, I would have to assume they are prepared to accept that reality. If the folks that are unhappy need to find someone to blame, and if blaming it on the libarlas works for them, it works for me as well. It's the damn liberal's fault. No ConRep could have possibly been involved in or have approved such a name change...never. All ConReps think alike and we all hate PC...no exceptions. SO, lets kick their sorry liberal asses all the way to hell, where they can rot for eternity for their stupid crimes against humanity. Now THAT feels much better!

Political correctness is a unique liberal malformed gene, and severe manifestations of the malformation, include wholesale semantics changes, to avoid "offending". Minor symptoms, include turning a blind eye to stupid bullshit, acceptance of bullshit changes to avoid controversy, and those in 2nd and 3rd stages of this disease, can often be found with their head either buried in the sand, or up their rectums. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Maybe you could pray to the good Lord above that things will turn around and we we can start going back to the good old days when no one seemed to give a second thought that what they say might hurt the feelings of groups or individuals that were different from the WASP's. I think the world would be a much better place if people like us didn't give a rats ass about the feelings of others, don't you? Don't you just hate it when people care? That is just soooo PC.

If you didn't move fast enough, then whatever money was in your pocket, paid for your funeral, and life went on...... Your correct. I don't have a bit of pity for people who are "easily bruised" by day to day events. Grow a fucking skin, and get over it. You have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but you DO NOT have the right to go through life uninsulted, or miffed, about a fucking name of a college football rivalry, or what a football mascot is named. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

It would be fine with me if it remained as is...The Red River Shootout. However, if they choose to change the name of the event to something else, it doesn't bother me. If they chose to change the event from football to badmitton, so as not to piss some people off, that would offend me. The point is that the event is what is important...far more important than what they call the event. It's a football game for christ sake. If someone chooses to call it a football game rather than a "shootout", I don't give a shit. If it pisses YOU off, that is something you will need to manage as best you can. If you need to blame someone for your getting pissed off becasue they choose to change the name of the event, then I suppose you can blame the liberals (or anyone else you wish to pick) for causing your anger. I like to take responsibility for MY anger and not blame anyone but myself, but that just me. If you can't operate that way, then perhaps you shouldn't be worried about the thin skin of other people. Look at it this way: The folks who changed the name perhaps did so in order not to piss certain folks off...folks you may not care for one whit, but they certaintly didn't give a shit if they pissed off folks like you. So, does that make them overly sensitive weenies, or don't give a shit who they piss off guys? Take your choice.

But as someone who has been watching this happen for the last decade, I'm getting just a little bit tired of the whimsical reasons, for doing so. I can imagine, some semi balding, androgynous advertising executive, sitting in a board room at SBC, giving a presentation, explaining the reasons why the name has to be changed. What really bothers me about the world today, is most folks, don't have the gonads, to speak up, and ask these type folks, "Just what in the fuck are you talking about".... How will changing the name of the event, affect the bottom line? Are more people going to attend, because it's now a "rivalry", rather than a shootout? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

(2) If we allow ourselves to become angry, then we can take ownership of our anger or we can refuse to do so. (3) If we refuse to take ownership of our anger, we will have to blame it on someone else so as not to take responsibility for our anger. It's all up to the individual. When LibDems get to (3) they like to blame ConReps. When ConReps get to (3) they like to blame LibDems.

Your first mistake, is that you CONSTANTLY try to pin the Conservative, and Liberal tags, on a PARTICULAR PARTY, ie, your utter insistance, that there is nothing else but libdem and conrep. You can generally classify folks as Liberals, Conservatives, or somewhere in between, but you want to paint your theories with this broad bush, and you're missing a few strokes when you do. Until you get your anal retraction done, of removing your cranium from your rectum, anything you may contribute to this thread, is little more than you talking out of your ass. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

We have three parks downtown (Nathan Bedford Forrest Park, Confederate Park, Jefferson Davis Park) that some say offend african americans. Big Al Sharpton is on his way today to hold a rally in favor of changing the names, so it should be pretty interesting here today. Hopefully those against changing the names will also be there in full force. I guess these jackasses just dont understand that history is history, it will never change. We live in a city that has no money whatsoever, crime everywhere and morons like John Ford and Willie Herenton running this place. Trust me when I say we have much more important things to worry about in Memphis. Don't even THINK about taking my guns!

(1) Emerkin allows himself to get angry at petty shit that has no impact on his life. (2) Emerkin refuses to take responsibility for his feelings. (3) Therefore, Emerkin has to blame someone esle for his anger. Emerkin has to wake up each morning and find out what the LibDems are doing in order to see what kind of day he will have. He gives his power...the power to control his emotions to others, mostly LibDems. Poor Emerkin!

There are a whole gamut of emotions, ranging from "blissfully ignorant", like you consistently display, to "killing mad" So what is my reaction to this latest, in the long line of changing names, for political correctness, or to "not offend" someone? It isn't anger, as you so erroneously assume. I'm disturbed at the lack of awareness, that a large number of people in this country, display at disturbing trends, that signify a major change in what was once a very successful society. I'm even more disturbed, not in this incident, but like the one Devastation describes, where time and effort is spent placating, but there are bigger problems that need correcting. Oh sure, a little black child in Memphis can sleep happier at night, knowing that the stigmata of a "confederate" park is gone, but the name change doesn't get him an education, feed him at night, stop the child abuse, the drug dealing in the neighborhood, or any number of other problems, that SHOULD take higher priority. This latest incident, fits into the general category of eroding morals, ethics, and History ----- in order to placate a small minority, who MIGHT get offended at a word that has been in common usage in our language for hundreds of years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

If you will 'own' your emotions, then there is no need to blame others for your feelings. If you experience negative emotions because of these name changes, that's YOUR PROBLEM...not mine and not anyone else's. Societies change and evolve over time. What seen acceptable to one generation may not fit the next generation. Get over it. As long as you insist on blaming others for your negative emotions arising out of events that don't affect your live, you are avoiding personal responsibility for YOUR FEELINGS. Now, if you choose to continue to whine and bitch and compalin about stuff that doestnt really affect you, that's your peroragitive. You will not get my sympathy, or empathy.
