A great post - wish you & some others had adopted that view about 1 yr ago.

Thanks, but it was a satirical comment. My post is a Game of Thones reference and signifies the folly of waiting for a catastrophe before preparing for it or talking about it.

For sure Game of Thones is a real go to source for life's lessons.........

The signs pointing to a catastrophe for Tiger basketball is very real. Some posters prefer to ignore the gathering storm by waiting and seeing while other posters wish to discuss it. Either action is acceptable IMO for good Tiger fans to adopt.

BS
It's acceptable to have any type of discussions. But inserting unrelated topics just to bash in unrelated threads is not really meant to have discussions but to unnecessarily flame, e.g. the Vanover thread.

Guys...guys...it's hurricane...uhm FootBall season!

I am a little concerned. Hope it turns north soon.

Dissipating would be nice. We sure don't need another landfall anywhere.
ugly ugly ugly. smh

The hiring of Pierre and it's ramifications especially in light of better alternatives is definitely within the scope and spirit of the thread topic and well within the common norm here of acceptable topic deviation.

Of course, you are welcome to your own opinion on the subject.

This thread maybe but you have consistently derailed threads, e.g. the Vanover thread. It's a free country so do as you please but you are basically a message board troll IMO. Some folks thrive on trolling and it's alright. Just not my cup of tea.

It's only trolling if you don't like the message.

Since you mentioned the Vanover thread in your last two posts in this thread, let's discuss it here. Many of the posts in the Vanover thread relate to posters chastising other posters for their ideas - sometimes in personal terms like you did in your above posts. Personal attacks,IMO, are the worse form of OT discussion. They add heat, but no light. Nevertheless, please post as you please. I am not your censure.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Oh boy, the programs been in the dumpster for years. That's why people aren't buying tickets.

You guys keep harping on someone's recruiting ranking. We've had phenomenal classes for years, but what do we have to show for it? Either they were over ranked or under coached. And, how many of these prize recruits left for various reasons? We've had two "one and dones" in the last ten years or so (Rose and Evans). The others needed four years to develop. Needless to say, a lot of them took their experience with them to other schools.

The luster is gone. Local kids don't want to come here. These kids were about 8 years old since we've done anything. So you expect it to turn around overnight? I'm not going to say a select few wouldn't get us on the map quicker than Tubby, but unfortunately, those guys didn't want to come here either.

Tubby got TT in the tourney in year three. I'd say that's a very reasonable expectation here too.

Read that thread again. There were 5 attempts at derailing until someone finally took bait. This is not looking for a discussion; it's just plain trolling.

Btw if I wanted to really attack, I would call you something other than a troll.

Discussions are great but constant bashing even in unrelated threads is no longer a discussion. If you wanna contribute to the trolling, do as you please.

LOL, please do not hold back.

Many of my posts in the Vanover thread was directly about Conner or his recruiting status. The main derail cause was posters taking shots at other posters - much like this discussion on this thread.

LOL
Post #64 and various bait posts prior in that thread is just one example.

As for this thread, the article was a solid read that was turned into an instant negative. Definitely have to give you kudos on your persistence.

We just disagree on the definition of trolling. There's triggering and trolling and sometimes a combo of both.

Do you think the media guys who are predicting us to finish 8th, 9th or last are trolling?

Are we not allowed to discuss these predictions, because people are triggered?

That's completely different.

Maybe I'm not clear.
There have been several threads especially about recruits where a convo gets sidetracked cuz a troll brings up the Keelon situation, or late season swoon or more often Saul. These are unnecessary.
There are already multiple threads discussing the staff but sidetracking unrelated threads on purpose is trolling.

We can agree to disagree. It's just baffling to me that these happen consistently and without fail. Anyways...carry on!
