Burton Facts

[TallTitan34]

Fact 1) Santa goes to the mall to tell Burton what he wants for Christmas.

[john31]

I think Santa should be his new nickname, a little non sequitur but oddly cool nonetheless.

why is santa white?

[GGGG]

why is santa white?

Because St. Nicholas was....or something like that.

[jesmu84]

Doesn't get much sun at the North Pole.

Fur coats don't wear we'll at the equator

[MUHoopsFan2]

because Jesus was white

NO......HE WASN'T. That is not what the book of his Revelation to Yochannon [John] says in Chapter 1. You brought it up. I can go into an in depth study if you want to.

But one thing about Burton is I think he has grown taller. I saw him last night and I am used to seeing the team up close and I can gauge height and weight well. He has gotten taller...he is still growing.

I might be pound for pound the one of the best molds of clay to work with from a physical standpoint for awhile. If he can get some more explosiveness, quicker lift, and flexibility and shiftiness and quicker feet laterally to what he already has he can be a big star moving forward.

Well see.

What in the world...???

Unsettling to say the least. The doctrine of the Nicolatians...Ole St. Nick. Pagan pastries.

why is santa white?

Because he just is.  Just like Jesus was.  Fox News does not twist facts to fit a sensitivity agenda.

THE BIG QUESTION: Did Santa ask for a New Year's Eve win?

How tall would you estimate him to (currently) be?

BTW - thanks for the good news.

Well OK then.

Totally missed the reference here - the "Jesus was white" comment is about the recent Megyn Kelly segment.  No one here is arguing that Jesus was actually caucasian.

Someone's sarcasm meter need recalibrating.

Thanks for the laugh, MUskie!!

Neither was she apparently. Her attempt at humor was just lost on us humorless people.

In other words, she's sorry, but it's our fault that she sounded like a racist trying to twist historical data to fit an agenda of railing against other people twisting said twisted data (now deemed fact) to fit their own agenda.

[Stronghold]

I find this similar to portraying an African folk hero as a Hispanic man or a legendary Japanese samurai as a Native American... just why?  These are fictional characters developed in particular cultures so of course they are going to be associated with the ethnicity of those people.

So much for this turning into a Deonte Burton/Chuck Norris type of thread...

Deonte Burton is so ripped, his muscles' muscles won Mr. Olympia.

Looks like we need PTM to get a picture and his line drawing tools out to solve this.

Burton doesn't need a nut cracker....when he walks into a room the nuts crack themselves.

I agree. I was talking to my wife (another MU grad) as we watched the game and was telling her that Burton isn't that tall but he's built like a rock. And then they had him standing next to Otule and Juan and I'm like, "You know what, he's taller than I thought."
