All this hand wringing about Ty’son makes
me laugh. We don’t even know if he’s even taken the GRE! If not, he may not have even even submitted his application for a grad program.
So many people putting the cart before the horse.

Future recruiting targets - esp grad transfer ones - might.

Coaches BYU is recruiting against will make sure they know about it.
Eddie

Yup. Perception matters. The church, but not all of the BYU admin, gets that.

Some in church sometimes get it

Grad admissions standards don't equate to "can/Can't hack it".

It's not everything, but it's certainly a part of it.

This is probably the most high profile athlete grad transfer BYU's ever had...

Can you point me to any non-sports source that is reporting on Ty'Son's
Throwaway59840

Go ahead BYU... try it... I dare you

Haha. Is that you, Dallin?
Throwaway59840

That's probably a stretch.
Eddie
4/19/19 12:15pm
This is a pretty high profile grad transfer...
Coug
4/19/19 12:18pm
I don't disagree with that. I disagree with the idea they'll never get another.
Eddie

Ok... that's fair... so let me rephrase it...

I invite you to listen to sports radio after the news comes out. Have fun.

Ahh, I should have known your dramatic response was even more dramatic.

I think you are being naive about who will and won't care about it...

He doesn't want to hear that. He's convinced he's 100% right

A spade is a derogatory term used for people of African descent.

It is also used in a common phrase as properly used in the OP

It’s definitely a racial slur, at least in the Midwestern cities I’ve lived in

Interesting - I don't think in this phrase however
