NOT TOO SURE ABOUT YOU SNOOP, BUT I KNOW THAT ONLY THE REALLY COOL PEOPLE TYPE IN ALL CAPS.

And then do their signature normally.

My vote goes with snoop

Most of UMR football players are f**cking fags. Instead of giving them football scholarship, they should use the money to get a new CIS. I don't know why they bother to practice. You can go out the puck and pick some random people for the team and they will win you more than four games in two years.

And the two years before this, they won NO games!!!! I think you have to try to do that, and they should probably get some credit, or a medal or something.

Why even waste money on a football team here? How many people really care about it? There are plenty of other ways to better spend the money.

Wow, what a mature reply. I like how personal vendettas and insults immediately ruin ALL topics. Too bad the list isn't moderated...maybe we could have a rational discussion. You'd think that at a place like Rolla, we could be a little more grown-up when we talk to each other. Aren't we supposed to be smart? Or maybe people like you drove the school down to second from the bottom.

So you want a mature reply and discussion on something posted in all caps about whether or not football players are jocks or cocks? Just think a little before you post next time. KTHNX.

What's the deal with people getting irritated with all CAPS? So it's a nuisance, no reason to get your panties in tangle about.

ANYHOO! Getting back on the subject. Having personally known many members of the UMR football team, I would have to say that a small minority of them are complete assholes. I will atribute this to the increase in testosterone output generated by participation in physically intensive activities such as practices. These guys I would consider cocks. However, I would have to say that there are also a few of the players who I consider suitable for play in any Division I team in the country. At least in the SEC or ACC. And that's nothing to be ashamed of. These are the jocks. The majority of the football team falls in between somewhere. They don't fit your stereotype California "A C Slater", Arnold Schwarzennegar (sp?), or Wesley Snipes mold, either. They're just normal, hard working UMR students who work out very frequently and have some athletic talent. So their record sucks donkey balls. Big deal. Still something to do on a fall afternoon when your girlfriend comes in to town and you've already worn her sore in one night. Besides, we get in free! (If you haven't figured it out, just let her borrow one of your female friends' IDs, women all look the same to the guy checking 'em, anyways. :^)

Irritated by all caps? I mentioned it once and it wasnt even the main point of my post. Yet i got my panties in a tangle. Anyways... there is a good time for all caps, and theres not... this was a prime example of not. Most people over 16 realize this but obviously not all.

Snoop, nothing you have said so far in this thread has contributed in any way to this thread or to knowledge in general. What does it matter that the first post was shouted? It was still a semi-serious and valid question for debate. Your opinion on the sexual orientation of fraternity men is puerile and irrelevant. Also, you said KTHNX. Please refrain from doing so as it makes you seem to be a 12 year old wanker who thinks he's a l337 h4X0r.

Anyway, I don't know lots of UMR football players well, but I know some, and it seems to me that they're not any more likely to be assholes than non-football players. They're just bigger.

sorry bout not contributing to this intellectual discussion.

So far there has only been a few serious comments in reply to the first message, so why dont you guys quit bitching and talking shit to people you've never met from the comfort of your desks and give some serious feedback. No one cares what you think of fraternity members or anyone else, the question asks about football players. In reply to that, ive never had any problems with/ been threatened by the football players here. For the most part, they seem like nice guys. Also, WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT WRITING IN ALL CAPS!!!!!!! QUIT BITCHING YOU WHINY BASTARDS!!!!!!!

I love immature people that tell us to be mature.....
