Tennessee: Pregame prayer unconstitutional?

You literally cannot listen for five minutes of the show without one of them being completely wrong about some fact or piece of trivia. An interaction i heard a few weeks ago that, to me, sums up every day on that show:

Doc: Seattle has that quarterback from Wisconsin, the one that transferred from NC State. What's his name?
Jeff: No, he was from North Carolina. I'm pretty sure it was North Carolina.
Heather: Yeah, i think you're right. It was North Carolina. (pause) Ummm. Let's see here...It says...ummm. It says, Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson is his name and he transferred from NC State.
Jeff: Yeah, that is right. Thought so.

 

Our performance on the field should be unconstitutional if anything.

I second that

 

Hell, half the people in the stands are walking around and talking during it anyways. I am generally looking at my phone during that time. It doesn't really seem to matter one way or the other to me.

 

Moment of silence is classy and inclusive.

 

I don't believe anyone made that argument. My point was theological. Didn't get into whether or not they should allow distinctly Christian prayer at a state university.

 

Agree with JohnnyQuickKick's take on the Constitution. You really have to stretch that sucker beyond recognition to let it cover praying before a public event.

"I like my Constitution dead." --Antonin Scalia.

If we don't like the original document --because of what it says about shooting guns or whatever, there should be enough popular support in this country to change it or scribble up a new one. Heck, there could easily be a whole ammendment telling us Christians that we can't do this, that, and the other or even meet. The first ammendment would be pretty much nullified but that's the way this place is supposed to work. As it is, I don't see nothing in there about prayin before no ballgame. The fact of the matter is, since a few additions --which, after the first 15 have been increasingly insignificant-- popular opinion has been by and large behind the thing. Let's use it as long as that's true. When it's not, let's write another dead document or at least change what's written on this one.

 

Reminds me of Samuel Beckett dialogue for some reason.

 

I'm honestly against saying a prayer AND signing the National Anthem and I am neither a atheist or anarchist.

 

Why the anthem?

 

moment of silent is beyond fine with me. It is a time that can be used however a person views it.

 

I think it devalues it. It should be reserved for neutral site games.

 

That type of amendment would really go against the spirit of religious freedom though. This has more to do with an entity that receives public funds officially endorsing a religion, which implies that the United States government is endorsing that religion. The establishment of a state religion led to many of our ancestors leaving their original countries in the first place.

 

Hey Hat, I'm coming to the game this weekend. Do you have any certain type of poisonous snake you want me to bring you?

 

Hearty Laugh. Thank you.

 

I must admit, I laughed too!

 

A coral snake or a black Mamba. Rattlesnakes are so passe.

 

Very interesting but entertaining direction this thread has taken

 

PLEASE don't get Hatvol started on snakehandling!!!!!!!!!
