Hurts a co-captain
- Thread starter owenfieldreams
- Start date
Whatever. I want to come back in my next life managing a football forum. It has to really be a fulfilling endeavor.
I don't start Ohio State threads on this board for a reason. It is not an Ohio State board. I try to respect what you have here.
Doesn’t the fact that it’s Jalen legitimize the thread? I don’t have a problem with it. In fact, I’ll formulate a Tidefans thread initiation axiom: all threads about other schools are presumed legitimate if they focus on:
* Former starters
* Anything with the word “Fulmer” in it.
E.g., “Phil Fulmer yet again consumes weight in donuts in a single sitting”
* Duron Carter

owenfieldreams, this is NOT a criticism of you, so please don't take it as such. I'll pose it more as a question, than a statement. Am I the only one with a not so warm and fuzzy feeling about all the Hurts/OU stuff we are going to be bombarded with this year? There is still a part of me that isn't that thrilled with how it all went down. I can't quite put a finger on it, so I've mostly remained silent about it.
I do wish him well in life. I hope he's headed for an NFL career. But I guess I just wish the Alabama ties were not there.

Concur with all you said except for the last sentence. ESPN & CBS & whoever covers OU will have unceasing chatter, video, highlights, documentaries about Jalen and how he persevered through so much adversity at Alabama and how OU has given him a fresh start. This is especially true if he plays at the same or higher level which he exhibited throughout his time at Alabama. He's a winner. He'll win and their perfect scenario is if OU-UA is a semifinal or final game and OU punches out UA. It will be sweet satisfaction for all non-UA people.
That said, while I'll be fine with it the first time I see it, the unending nature will get under my skin (as does ANY story that they don't let loose of (I got tired of seeing all the Tua - Hawaii family stuff over and over and over and over and over!).
The story really doesn't matter until and unless OU plays UA at the end of the season. All the best to Jalen and his newfound glory. He still has to keep the job by performing well.
Maybe people would be happier if we just had a designated Jalen thread? that way people who want to avoid it can but people like me who like the updates can still get them.

The sports media (and all media) is really good at beating a story to death and beyond.
Well, at least the current OU players will be able to see Jalen's national championship ring and know what one looks like.
Ya'll, This thread is funny as heck! We all could use a laugh sometime.... Congratulation to Hurts! I"m excited for him.
8 miles wide and 1/32" deep.
My take: We have Tua. Everybody else doesn't... Eat it!
If the new threads keep popping up that will likely happen.
We all love Jalen and generally want to see him successful, but we also all know where to find info on JH if we want to read it.
