Good grief. Can we drop this.

It's a competitive/athletic term that I used in slang form.

As long as we get more "Dawgs" in the future, all will be well.

So I then I suppose this would be unwarranted?

Why are you so sensitive with all of this? My god.. it really doesn't matter. Apparently I'm out if the loop and he was poking some fun at me. Eeesh.

I personally think that's unfair.  Nagging injuries had a significant impact on Bracey's career at IU.  Before he got hurt he was a baller.

Sure it is used in sports. When Isiah was coaching the Pacers he made the comment "We have to many "pretty" players, we need some Dawgs.

He was talking about guys who compete until they have nothing left. Guys who battle for every possession. Who are relentless on defense. Who don't back away from a challenge. The Pacers got Ron Artest, who fit the description, but had issues. But that is the basic idea.

Another good description is your own signature here on the forum. "You must operate with a level of toughness in everything you do....."

So you're saying you want to let the dogs out? Can we then answer with "WayneFleek" let the dogs out when asked who let the dogs out?

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

Who doesn't say dawg? Pretty standard for me

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

That's quite an interesting conversation guys lol

I don't really want to turn this into a racial thing but I wonder if that is the disconnect. I grew up playing sports with and against many African American players. The term may be more prevalent in that environment. The Isaiah Thomas quote is exactly what I'm talking about.

Then again, maybe not.

Did you play sports?
