Re: Zac Crews
Is it too late for the state congress to weigh in on Crews? Has anyone asked the pope for his thoughts?

Re: Zac Crews
Hauck was trying to bring him on to the Griz as a walk on, just like the Cats are doing. He didn’t have Zac address the team and beg for forgiveness because it was still damn new at the time and there were Griz players (very good ones) threatening to leave the team if he was allowed to join. Once the Kaimin got involved and claimed taking him on would take the Griz backwards 10000 steps, I don’t think Hauck had a choice. It wasn’t that look ago that Hauck had to sit in front of a community panel in Missoula when he was being hired at UM again forced to make promises that the kids will stay out of trouble. It is what it is.

In the article that came out afterward, Crews father said they were still going to bring him in on a scholarship.HookedOnGriz wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 11:12 pmHauck was trying to bring him on to the Griz as a walk on, just like the Cats are doing.

He won the 110 hurdles and javelin as a junior 14.95, 176-08. Took third in state wrestling.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 11:11 amVery athletic. Fast, strong. Good hurdler and would’ve placed but had an issue in the finals. Third in javelin, sixth in shot, sixth in TJ. Quite a range of events.GoCats18 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 7:59 pmCrews is an athlete. You could put this kid anywhere on the field and he would be a freakin stud. I don’t care what the other side says, kid made a mistake, he admitted it and paid for it, and now is getting a second chance. Exactly what a ton of kids in college sports do. Can’t wait to see him get his chance to play. Congrats Zac!!
I’d like to see him at safety. Probably never happen. Old school Kenny Easley, Joey Browner type. He’d scare a lot of receivers on crossing routes: something MSU was burned on a lot last year.

Re: Zac Crews
Everyone has understood for a year now that people wanted to end his football career over a private joke when he was a junior in high school. You can act sensitive about the words people use to describe that but that's the actual issue.grizgirl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 9:12 pmThe storyline coming out now from the reporters is about how UM/Hauck screwed Crews over.

Re: Zac Crews
Except that Hauck continually misled the Crews family. He told them them that UM would bring Crews on and then backed out of that promise. Maybe if Hauck had been honest with the family, they could have made educated decisions about what to say in public (like with Butte Sports) and got ahead of any Kaimin article. Hauck’s handling of the situation was extremely poor and has even affected the Griz’s recruiting position with future Sentinel prospects.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 12:23 amSounds reasonable and true.

Re: Zac Crews
The problem for Crews is that he’s White. If he were not white, this wouldn’t have been sleuthed in the first place and if it had people would have disapproved and yet written it off as youthful indiscretion. But our culture holds white people to a different standard because they’ve swallowed the vicious lie that white people are somehow more prone to racism than people of other skin colors. That, ironically, is the open ethnic prejudice that no one actually cares about.

A Black player at a prominent P5 school just had his scholarship pulled for using a racially insensitive term. But, yeah, this just happens to White people.

Re: Zac Crews
The current storyline is about UM fans et al wondering why UM didn’t keep Crews. At this time it isn’t about what Crews did. That has become a secondary issue.coloradocat wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 8:10 amEveryone has understood for a year now that people wanted to end his football career over a private joke when he was a junior in high school.

Re: Zac Crews
I’m not saying that people of other ethnicities are *never* held accountable. But I have eyes and I have ears and it’s perfectly obvious that the culture holds white people to a different standard and assumes that prejudice is part and parcel of so called “whiteness.” It’s not a comfortable thing to say out loud, but it’s true.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 9:50 amA Black player at a prominent P5 school just had his scholarship pulled for using a racially insensitive term.

Re: Zac Crews
Agreed, unfortunately this is sort of intertwined with an event happening with the football team right now. Everyone is going to have an opinion on it from their political viewpoint. Would be nice if we could talk about sensitive, important subjects with some civility but this thread is just a snapshot of where the country is at this moment, unfortunately. Personal insults are part of the discourse.
