This really should be required reading for any CMU fan...

This pathetic excuse for a human being is advocating that NIU should have intentionally hurt our RB Rawls, end his career.

Yes. He's saying this about a student athlete. I'd say it's unbelievable, but it's just more of the same bull crap.

Student athlete, that's rich

Rawls is a pig. He stole an old ladies purse, and went on a shopping spree with her credit cards. He'd likely have spent more except he's a male named Thomas, and the name on the card was Kathy. Kind of limited his ability to spend, unless he claimed himself to be a tranny or something. Anyhow, tough break for Rawls, he could probably use a new flat screen.

It's not that I really want Thomas to get his knees blown out War, heck I'd be fine with 30 days in jail. Even limiting him from crossing state lines. Maybe wiping old ladies butts in a nursing home. A tether perhaps. The punishment needs to fit the crime.

But yeah, if he gets off with a slap on the wrist, wins MAC POY, well yeah, I'm good with his knees getting blown out.

Re: This really should be required reading for any CMU fan...
He's on the verge of a breakdown. If we were to somehow win the MAC, he'd probably end up in a padded room.

Nahh, every win, loss or tie at this point is tainted. You know it, I know it, anyone who knows the Rawls story knows it.

Only a few days ago you were over here and tried to say you weren't just another Slappy making excuses for The Felon and your pig coach. Clearly, a couple of tainted wins is all it takes for you to throw your values out the window. Glad to see you've returned to being the Slappy I always knew you to be.

Man, you really are an embarrassment to WMU with your obsession of everything CMU.

Yep, probably so. I just have this thing about convicted felons getting off with no consequences. Heck, I regularly got pissed when a student was sent out for disrupting instruction or endangering other students, only to be sent back to class 30 minutes later, usually after being told not to do it again, and getting a Tootsie Roll for saying he/she won't do it again (but they almost always did do it again........as will Mr. Rawls). That's pretty much what passes for consequences these days. And we wonder why we have so many repeat offenders.

Wish I was like you and could just overlook it. I can't, damn it

Quite the dilemma. Reminds me of the saying, "People should tend to their own back yard and let others tend theirs".

That's a fine saying, but I'm not sure how it applies here.

I know you have detractors here, but try this place, they'll love you.

Yeah, I know another "fine saying".

"People who live in glass houses don't throw stones".

That might sink in with you. Or not, choice is yours.

No, not really. Last I checked I have no felonies on my record. Heck, when I pulled my file I didn't even have a single letter of reprimand in 25 years. I was actually hoping for at least one. I felt like I had flown under the radar. I volunteer in my daughters school twice a week. Wouldn't you know it, my background check came back squeeky clean. I've led a very dull life.

yeah, that's what I was referring too.

Man it gets just weird when you cut to our "my life is so great" diatribe to project yourself as the ultimate "Mr. Mom" type guy when you got nuthin.

I'm thinking there's more. Maybe you actually resent it?

Huh? Resent it? I'm not following you. You're going into that hipster doofus mode where it sounds like you're saying something profound, but in reality nobody knows what the hell your talking about.

Let me get this straight. You're saying "My life is so great, " because I haven't been convicted of a felony? You're really reaching their Sunshine. Listen, I'm sure for some that would be a major achievement. However, I'm not sure it's worthy of "great life" status.

You know, the beauty of having this little pissing match with you is that, "A" I love watching you defend The Felon, while bashing your own school's program, and "B" it keeps the subject matter pinned at the top of the forum. I'm all about branding.

You should probably quit trying to label anyone who doesn't agree with your "everything CMU does is bad" schtick as saying a convict should be playing. That routine of yours is really getting old.

Plus, you cut to that "my life is great" deal so often it really rings hollow.

Nice try at hanging that on my neck, won't work, because it's not accurate. You're just NUTTY when it comes to CMU and Rawls. He's in your head.

How sad is that? A 21 year old kid has you acting like a fool.

Kid? He's a grown man who made a choice to steal an old ladies purse and shop with her credit cards until he got caught.

I spent 25 years watching a microcosm of this. Bad behavior followed up with minimal consensuses. It ALWAYS perpetuated more bad behavior.

Pardon me for pointing out that poor Thomas Rawls is a felon. Pardon me for not simply brushing it aside as the new norm in college sports. Rawls is a pig, and the coach who reinstated him is TOTALLY CULPABLE.

If you want to be The Felon's apologist, great, keep cheering for him, and keep jeering your own school

If you're on board with The Felon, great, keep cheering for him, and keep jeering your own school

He has you muttering to yourself. Rawls is so in your head that you can't see straight, as does anything else CMU. Just crazy I tell you. Nutty.

Well, Pot meet Kettle.

Let's talk nutty. You've got 6000 post dedicated to your hatred of your schools head coach and no matter what he does your mantra never changes. I don't have to go around making up rumors about Fleck or embellishing stuff on other peoples forums in order to make my case. I simply point out the truth. What people do with the truth is up to them, but they can't deny it for what it is.

Yeah, that didn't take long. I figured you'd try and turn it around on me sooner or later. FWIW, I never have spread or made up any rumors about your boy Fleck. I didn't go to any other forum and post either, that's your gig and you admit it outright.

Just because you do so doesn't mean others do as well. You're on your own.

You have had CMU in your cranium for years now, must suck for you.

Oh please, you're so invested in Fleck failing you'll defend a convicted felon simply to remain consistent.

Fleck's growing on me. I think he may be something special in spite of his many rumored short comings you've enlightened us to.

Rawls however is a pig, who thanks to a coach with no standards, may go on to accolades he simply doesn't deserve. But please, keep defending him. It warms my heart to watch. "Oh Thomas "

Nice try. You're pathetic and an embarrassment. Party on!!!!

Can you two both agree to disagree, and stop the multi page pissing matches? It is really getting old.

Nothing to add here. I just wanted the thread title "Rawls is a Pig" at the top of the board.

Come to think of it, a good sentencing would be to have Rawls sign autographs before games while wearing a sandwich board saying "I steal credit cards from old ladies."

Quote:While I don't condone what Rawls did, let's review the facts as we know them. He aided others in the theft of an unattended purse and rode in the vehicle that purchased $30 worth of gas using a credit card in that purse. The judicial and athletic punishments appear just; fitting the extent of the crime. Additionally, if Rawls can't keep his nose clean (this was a first-time offense), everything will come tumbling down for him and at that point the WMU poster can say "I told you so". But I have a feeling Thomas has indeed learned a hard lesson from all of this and has his life together.

Of course you condone it. You're all making excuses for The Felon. It's like a slappy lovefest over there.
Oh Thomas.......

Newsflash. It's easy to use ANY CREDIT CARD at a gas station. You pay at the pump, no one checks the fact that you're a male using a card with the name Doris on it. I guess T Man didn't realize that when you pump gas you're being videoed. Apparently, Thomas "Good Will Hunting" Rawls wasn't using his elite UM education.

Learned a hard lesson? What lesson? He got off with no consequence what so ever. In fact he got off even before the courts issued a consequence. His two week suspension was for lying to Enos and not telling him about the felony. Where is the consequence for stealing the old ladies purse and credit cards? There is none.

Rawls is a pig. His coach is a culpable pig.
