Title: Hats, oh those dreaded hats
Post by: TexDoc on November 24, 2011, 07:16:28 AM
Rumors being what they are (this is in the "take this for what its worth category), I hear from the grapevine that the TASO board is clearing the way for all crews to wear a commemorative hat for the championship games.  Justification is to keep the crews in those games from being in the middle of the UIL/TASO debacle.  I don't like the hats much, but the decision makes sense.

Being some 3 weeks away from "Cap Time" up at JerryWorld, I would at least think that if any "decree" from TASO is forthcoming, it will be one, at best, of allowing its crews the option of donning those  :bOW "Manor Road Monstrosities", instead of conscripting its membership into having to wear those things against their will.

If what you say, indeed, turns out to be true, then it would appear that our TASO leadership, for whatever reason, is bailing and giving in. If a decision of this magnitude has been or is in the process of being formulated, then our executive leadership had better have some extremely compelling rationale in going along with  tiphat:  :bOW The Manor Road Minions  :!#  in making this most egregious call!   z^

Doc would be correct, it isn't a rumor at all.  But to also add to this, it wont be mandatory.  It is up to the crew if they CHOOSE to wear the hats or not.  They just all have to wear the same thing.  The R can make it a democracy and let the crew vote or he can make the decision for the crew.  In either case, they will have the option to wear them if they choose.

I don't see the TASO BOD bailing and giving in to anything....and the thing on the hats is only good for this year until something permanent is put into place.....

I'm in a state championship game Saturday and I would LOVE to NOT be in the middle of any hat debate. 

What hat to wear will be the last thing I'll be worried about.
