Say what you like but in Cleveland we had at least two starters who were truly hurting, in fact, Boogie was in a boot before and after the game.

BSU rosterReading the accounts of the Rose Hulman game, I realized that I had no idea who some of the BSU players referenced were. So I went to the official site and the roster, but was only partially successful in getting a handle on the situation....just too much turnover and too little interest over the summer on my part. This will take a little time. Also the roster site is poorly maintained. Who is responsible for keeping that up? They did not trouble themselves to write a bio for many of the players. Also, several players have a college track record but the stats are not given. Get off your ass, responsible person. Something else was very striking. It is a TERRIBLE idea for an 18 or 19-year-old to brand large, visible areas of your skin with a permanent image. I can promise you with total certainty that what you think is cool now is not going to seem so cool when you are 30, or 50, or 65....but yet you are stuck with it. Teenage boys don't want to hear this but YOU ARE SIMPLY NOT COMPETENT AT THIS TIME TO MAKE A DECISION LIKE THAT FOR YOUR FUTURE SELF. Note that I'm not saying you don't have the RIGHT to do what you want with your own skin, so don't get all indignant on those grounds. I'm just saying don't be an idiot. And frankly, some of the tats are both a complete disaster in an aesthetic sense and poorly executed.

This is probably not the forum to understand fashion and current youth culture. And we all probably wore clothing in school days and beyond now find it hard to understand our choice, and in many cases groan if we see pictures from that era.
Still.
What happened to the days when apart from that we just let our hair be long, be weird, to express our individuality (and be like others doing that.)
You could get a haircut, or be drafted and solve that problem.

I was in the Navy in the 70’s and the old sailors warned against tattoos and how they look when you get older. In my younger days, had had to buy a ticket at the circus to see someone with pretty much their whole body with tattoos! Sad!!! |

Just a different time Tats are basically accepted anywhere these days and even in whitecollar settings. Its just not a thing anymore
Face tats are not acceptable in any setting
Arms legs torso etc all fine and dandy
