WMU beat Northwestern
Re: WMU beat Northwestern
They claim a controversial call with under 3 minutes left when NW fumbled the ball into the end zone. They claim WMU batted the ball illegally back into the field of play before touching our of bounds. If the defender didn't touch the ball it would still been touchback. Not sure what NW had a beef about. Got my masters at NW so I wasn't very happy about losing to the boat rowers.

Lucky you...Evanston is nice...probably even nicer back then
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

It's oarsmen, not boat rowers. WMU is trying to be more politically correct, I hear.gmartin wrote:They claim a controversial call with under 3 minutes left when NW fumbled the ball into the end zone.

I like that steak comes from cows. That is why a cow will not think twice about eating you.

Re: WMU beat Northwestern
They wouldn't use oarsmen then. Limiting it to men is a microagression that reinforces the cisgendered patriarchy that plagues so many communities. You could say people with oars...but that leaves out the people who don't have oars. It's so hard to not say offensive things.... I think the best choice is to pretend you're mute and smile politely...;or pretend to have Tourettes and tell those bitches to f**k themselves

Then how about calling them oarasses? Or paddlepussies? Or oarbags? Or scullblowers? I'm partial to oarbags.Flipper wrote:They wouldn't use oarsmen then.
