Every fraternity pledge at Alabama wears suit and tie at games and they arrive hours before the game starts. None of the Greek section sits at games, including halftime.

Thanks for the nice words. Let me give you, and everyone a bit of info. Deion was pretty much hated by everyone he played with in baseball and football, because he was never a team guy. Do some research, especially the Carlton Fisk episode. Sanders always thought he was bigger than the game itself, in both sports. That's why he was never a good teammate. Same thing applies now because he doesn't respect college football. Its all a brand, with a "me me me " mentality. Why do you think he wears that shite on the sidelines? He wants the camera on him, more than his players. Now, he's telling his players to pretty much don't dress or act like he did in college. Why? Because Sanders has ALWAYS wanted the spotlight on him, and not the players. Me me me , remember that. Criticize all you want. Just think logically, and you, and everyone else in this forum will come to realize that. I truly feel sorry for the next place he goes to, because it will be 100x worse with his clown antics.

You can’t guarantee that. And even if it’s true isnt if possible he learned from his experience and wants his kids to be better than that? What an ignorant comment. He was in college a long fricking time ago.

Is a hoodie the only option for cold weather?
Thats the thing with really cold weather. You need multiple options. A hoodie is a pretty effective part of that toolkit.

I’m assuming the rule really just means that they need to take their hoods off their heads when they’re in class. That’s a reasonable rule.

maybe he did but there’s nothing wrong with learning from your mistakes and using it to expect better of those under your care.

There’s shite I did as a runner in hs/college that I keep my athletes from because I learned from my mistakes.

Yeah, I'm sure it's about guys sitting in class with the hoods over their heads and earbuds in or Beats on while they sleep or stare at their phones.

if i'm not mistaken, he was doing this at jackson state. i'm not a big fan, but he's definitely not wrong about everything in his approach.

I never said that. He's just a clown for making his players do that. It isn't a military academy. Never have respected him as a coach regardless. Nothing more than a publicity stunt to market himself.




You sound dumb and butter as hell.
He probably didn't wear that stuff or have those rules in college.
That was forty fricking years ago almost. I'm sure he has learned a few things in forty years.

Probably didn't wear it? Yeah ok. Look, i am all for a coach asking for his players to act accordingly on and off the field. When the coach basically threatens players, who BTW , was/is/always will act the fool, he has no credibility whatsoever. If this were Saban, BK, Kirby, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Unfortunately, its Deion, who's the biggest clown in CFB. I guess my standards are set a bit higher than some people.

I plan to tell my son not to do a lot of the shite I did when I was 16. Does that make me a hypocrite or a mature adult?

Heck, I wish they'd all go Tom Landry (but that would require a major loss of pounds and behavious modifications.

Surely they can wear hoodie sweatshirts but just not wear the hood in class. It’s rude and disrespectful toward the professors.
