I miss the comments from the folks mentioned in this thread and I lament we do not have more new posters interested in discussing Tiger athletics. The number of guests and members who seldom post far exceed the number of regular posters. I wish there was a way to make every Tiger fan welcome to express their thoughts and opinions.

I think each 'side' overreacts to the other. Pissing matches, chest thumping, and pontificating ensue.

I agree

That is a ridiculous statement and you should seriously reconsider the way you post. Few people here have enough sense to put our cogent responses to the issues presented and this thread proves that.

We can start by not calling everyone with a differing opinion a troll. Or anyone who dares to critique a current coach a "bad fan" or pot stirrer.

Glad I asked.

Thanks for your thoughts. Keep 'em coming .

I agree with you.

However, when 95% of a person's posts are inflammatory towards players & coaches, attacking the school/city, and demeaning other posters, at some point that person can be labeled as such...

I met him and really liked him so I'll take this opportunity to pine for his return, although .....all these old-timers that have left (and there's lots of them) I always wonder if they are back under new screen names ?

Phototiger was also a hell of a wedding photographer. Did ours in 06 and even drove to Dallas to do it.

I think he paid off. Too bad neither are here to let us know.

TOGC was on my Facebook, but deleted me because I am in opposition to gay marriage. Called me a 'bigot' (not trying to start a flaming thread or anything....just stating the facts.)

He once sent me some posters of the Pandas from the zoo that he did for my kids. His rant about a buffet(I think) was freakin" epic.


Found It !!!

this place is boring now, and I never thought much of roar. It's amazing that we're in a better conference with better national recognition and our online presence is much worse than in 2006
