Consistency is a virtue. Don't read them then. What is your point?
I'm a completionist. I read everything, no matter how whiney and repetitive. But thanks for your concern.
I am pissed at this program. When is their underachieving not acceptable to you and why is my disgust for the current situation bother you more than anyone elses's here? I have read a ton of negative posts here, why does mine get your little girl panties in a wad? I laugh at your lameness.
Perhaps you missed it, but I've been as critical as anyone here (other than you, of course) over the past two weeks.
I'm not going to join you in your little name calling contest. Rather, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism of your posting habits here. In the UF game thread last week, you posted the following:
If UF's offense is as bad as advertised, what does that say about our D.I replied, simply:
Stop it. I probably should have not replied at all. My mistake. Anyway, your answer:
What is your answer? They just had a long drive. A stop would have maybe sealed it. The D just couldn't get them off the field.Now that's not an unreasonable post, on the face of it. However, at the time, we were up 6, had the ball, and were trying to close out our first win over UF in a decade. It was a tense situation, and we were all into the game. Do you
really think anyone here wants to have THAT conversation at that point? Save it for after the game.
Now let's switch topics, to our new basketball coach. The day Rick Barnes was hired, you posted the following:
we need more underachieving coaches. Well, at least he's at the real UT. This school really pisses a person off sometimes. What is he supposed to do here that he didn't do at Texas. Dumbassed school admin we have.Never mind that the day before Barnes fell into our lap, we were all turning cartwheels at the prospect of hiring a guy whose entire head coaching resume consists of two seasons of middling success (and no postseason appearances) at UTC.
I don't know if Rick Barnes will be successful here (the current state of our hoops roster suggests that his first season or two could be very challenging), but do you not understand what a coup it was for relative hoops lightweight like us to land a guy as established as Barnes? I mean, what do you want? Do you think that we can just throw 20 million a season at Tom Izzo or Coach K, and they'll drop everything and pack their bags for Knoxville to become our 4th coach in 6 years?
And do you not understand why some here think what they think about you, given posts like these?
This board is a small, tight-knit community. Most of us have met in person, and we know each other pretty well. We're unapologetically insular. All we know about YOU is that you're always here to pile on when times are tough- and when things are good, they're never good enough for
you. Maybe that's why many here don't really trust you.
