I had one of my Marines from TX start the N word stuff while we were in Australia.....I asked him why he said it, he said it was just a word...I explained to him what it sounded like and he understood my point......so I applaud the Bulls for that....

Am I the only one who is shocked and DISGUSTED that this was even an issue?  Common decency should dictate that you don't throw that word around.  It shouldn't take "leadership" to put an end to it.  People should just freaking know better.

I remember this from last year. It's one of the best things, I think, about this team.

Disgusted perhaps, but if it's truly shocking, perhaps you don't get out much.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
