Does BOSSMAN really deserve it?
I like his shirts and have been around since CUSA-TALK and he has never offended me. Why does he get such a bad rep from some of you guys? At least he is making shirts for us to choose from.
Just curious....I don't understand.


GO TIGERS,
Wes

I'd respond, but you're obviously one of bossman's "guys". What that implies is between you and him.

I was disappointed Bossman was not set up in Nashville for the Tiger fans in the Nashville area. WKU had a table or two set up.

I'm disappointed that he hasn't been banned yet.

RE: Does BOSSMAN really deserve it?
It pretty much all started when BOSSMAN (as a student) came up with the slogan "Tomb of Doom" for the new Pyramid Arena. It became popular, and the university adopted it. BOSSMAN claimed "trademark" or "copyright" and the university refused to pay. Ever since then, BOSSMAN has made it point to be noticed for his university "contributions" and to make money off the university in the guise of helping the university.

If BOSSMAN really wanted to help the university, he wouldn't call attention to himself. He is his own worst enemy. He has no sales tact, and clearly not much business sense. He dodges direct questions, he copies other people's concepts and call them his own. His 2011 calendar of Tiger apparel adorning pretty women will be great I guess... as we continue to wait on his 2008 calendar, so don't get your hopes up. His website has gone public, with what? I suspect legal issues, but only he knows.

He gets tossed out of the Forum for not having the proper permits to sell his stuff on the premises. His custom (one-timers) stuff is nice, but what he sells in volume is crap, low-grade material, destined for the trash in less than one year. He doesn't donate to help, he donates to promote.

His routine is schlocky, low-brow, tiring to read through, and caters to the feeble-minded so he can make a buck off you later.

I don't think it could be summed up any better. This post should be stickied.

RE: Does BOSSMAN really deserve it?
All I know is that I'm still waiting for a yes/no answer to a simple question asked 3 weeks ago. I need to be patient some folks have waited years.

Just this morning there was a thread started by this guy and if you didn't know better, you would have thought that his group was a major contributor to the new basketball offices.

The mods have a tough time dealing with this and I appreciate the work that they do. Trying to monitor what this guy does is tough, it's like being a basketball official trying to officiate a game where one team is consistantly hacking the other. You're going to miss some and I'm sure the mods get tired of moving almost all of his threads/posts.

He may be a nice guy; I've never met him and don't have any desire to.

But, he refuses to answer a direct question about the royalties he pays. That's his right. It's also our right to question him when he refuses to answer. It's unfortunate that in doing so, it only draws more attention to his ever hungry ego.

WOW! You have heard the wrong story my friend. It so sad when you hear a fifth hand story on something and claim it as the truth.

I would never say much less post something about someone until I heard it from them. I would have thought better of you Derby?

All of what you have just posted is complete false and someone else's version of what happened 16 YEARS ago.

The rest is just hate and I will not respond to negative rants. SAD!

RE: Does BOSSMAN really deserve it?
I have asked him in every way I know how (tact and politeness did not work) numerous times to abide by UofM's Brand Standard and all I got was arrogant defiance. Not only does his tacky royal blue crap do serious disservice to the university but he is foolishly missing an opportunity for substantially increased profits which would come with a reputation for correct merchandise. Another problem is his ongoing bastardization of our logo.

Possibly you would be willing to share with us "the facts". I would like to know. I'm glad you promote the University and hope you continue to do so. I really dont believe it is hate Bossman.

Boss makes some neat shirts--see Tigers in Manhattan. But, I don't like the blob head. So you know what I do--I don't buy it. Simple.

Maybe I am late to the party, but BossMan, why don't you use the standard. Most people I know and have spoken with don't like the floating head.

Don't count on it because I have yet to see him answer a serious question without using emoticons or turning it around to something else.

The problem with Bossman is that at least half and I'm being generous with that of his threads are nothing but promotion of his stuff he has to sell disguised as a thread promoting the Tigers.

I'm not sure I understand all the venom being spewed Bossman's way, but history tells us that people can get their facts twisted on here.

I do know that when the bball staff needs extra gear, that Bossman has been more than willing to help them out.
