Haven't heard a word about wr Coleman in weeks. I guess it's a no go with him ?

 

[TB14]

Naming your kid DeColdest is just pure stupidity.

Corny 

Well played, appears to have gone over lots of heads

Naming your kid DeColdest is just pure stupidity.

Giving your kids creative names is popular with some black families. In some ways it's kind of cool but it does have some disadvantages in our society. To call it pure stupidity seems very wrong and potentially racist.

When someone calls me mac daddy that is racist too

Yeah, I guess they thought that was a cool name. Bad, but not nearly as bad as Governor Stephen Hogg naming his daughter Ima. 

Incidentally, Ima Hogg was a very attractive lady who attended The University of Texas and died a wealthy woman. A good name may help, but a bad one should not limit your possibilities in life.

An old GF of mine worked at the UT admin office. One day she told me a co-worker just started laughing out loud while doing paperwork. When asked what was so funny she stated that she was doing the paperwork for twin brothers with the last name of Head, a Harry and Richard. Can you imagine going through life with a name of "Dick Head"?

There was a study done several years ago on this topic. Basically, resumes of people with creative names received less interest from employers than those with more traditional names. The only difference on the resumes was the person's name. So, yeah, it's best to give your child a familiar name to avoid potential name bias. BTW, this is not only a black parent phenomenon, but it seems to be more common in those families.

Some think this is related to Devon Campbell sending in his LOI​

Campbell's uncle tweeted this around the same time.

Yes I was aware of the study and that is one of the disadvantages I eluded to. Here is an article on the subject which links it to bad outcomes, which may not be causal since families that do this may be disadvantaged to start with. 

I definitely don't think it's a good idea, but think pure stupidity is way too judgmental.

Would you please interpret that tweet, T?

The thought is Campbell sent in his LOI before the deadline last night because Sark and his uncle tweeted around the same time.

Plus, Mark Henry the wrestler has been used as a clue previously that Texas landed a big man.

 

[PTA]

Campbell has planned to announce at one of the all-star games, correct?

Abor would be a massive get. Would be amazing to start winning some of these battles with Ohio State. We have been bleeding talent to them for years.

 

[TexCoyote]

Watching this North Shore-Duncanville game………that Kris Ross gets a good push up the middle.  Good looking player
