Toxic masculinity anyone when you're celebrating that players are vomiting en masse because the training is so hard?

I have spoken to trainers about the workouts I used to do for football in the 80s & 90s when we'd go until we puked. 100% reaction has been that it was a really bad thing to do and no one has done it that way for years besides maybe a first day or two to try to make players quit who weren't totally committed. If Frost's not just blowing smoke to play to fans and the "old school toughness" fantasy many have, then this is just bad team management that does much more harm than good.

Which would fit Frost perfectly.

His entire time back as head coach has been about the fantasy of recreating their image of a time long past.

"This is a great example of how Hannigan presents information throughout his column. Technically, what he wrote is accurately describes the charges Washington faced in 2019. However, they are phrased in a very harsh manner, likely intended to shock and horrify his Irish audience."

That is a direct quote in this "article". Bad grammar and all. :ROFLMAO:
 
i think i might have to subscribe to the irish times. that is some solid journalism, right up there with the NYT and WaPo.

go irish (times, that is).
 


Here’s a tweet with several irate Huskers fans in the comments. Mostly boring “hit piece” commentary but a few posts were gold:



Do some research!

And then a few posts about people who are glad they’re not spending a dollar in Ireland including one who said “lazy hit piece about a fanbase that will soon forget Ireland after leaving.”
 
I have forgotten how sensitive those Husker fans are after having to deal with those Oregon fans for over a decade.

So good.

When the huskers were here in 2019 I was talking to a woman I know in town who doesn't follow football and didn't understand why our town was being invaded by obese people wearing embroidered jeans.

She said, "Something is going on. There are a lot of people here that are...are...they're not like us."

Not like us indeed.
