I'm shocked - such stuff from people that call themselves fans! What in the hell would they say if they really weren't fans? About the same....
I truly despise some of the @ssholes on this board and I’ve never met them.
Really --now thats telling --off with their heads HUH LOL-----god forbid TIGER fans have dissenting/diverse opinions/views --we dont all live in fairy tale PRETENDER land ----some are proponents of facts and realism
I bet everyone that posts here on a regular basis HOPES the TIGERS go 14-0----but it doesn't make you less of a fan if you don't think it will happen --or if you think Miss St will cover the 16.5 ---------------------like someone posted a couple weeks ago---if somebody REALLY thought the TIGERS were going to cover that line or win straight up ---then they would bet the farm with borrowed $$$ on the TIGERS
its one thing to have a dissenting opinion, quite another to bash the coach damn near every post.
A person with a dissenting opinion could say, I don't have much faith in the coaches, and I think we win 3 or 4 games...and leave it at that...but some posters here have to make up snarky/cute (in their minds anyways) nicknames for Coach Ryan Silverfield.
Now I know he gets paid to have thick skin. Taking criticism is a part of the job. The man has obviously been putting in the time and effort, as evidenced by his recruiting.
Some things like injuries are beyond his control.
The things he can control...the jury may be out on still, and that would be a fair assessment.
But to keep saying the same ole ish, over, and over, and over, and over...we get it, some of y'all don't like Ryan Silverfield. It gets really old after a while. No need to keep repeating the same old tired ish over and over.
Again another poster that presumes he/she has the right to dictate how another TIGER fan pose/construct a post---the right to even tell other TIGER fans when and what and how they should post
Do you EVER question the so-called happyclapper fans- with their SAME OLD ISH OVER AND OVER --the fairy tale fans that think we are always the 2nd choice to be called up by any and all conferences --the coach worshippers . The fans that really THINK not HOPE that we are going 14-0--- Do you EVER choose to remind those fans that there is something called reality ---that there is a reason we keep getting passed over on the first segment ---that there is a reason we went 6-6----that there is a reason 1/2 the fan base got turned off--that there is a reason we have trouble raising $$--do you ever question the posters that REPEATEDLY post nonsense that EVERYTHING is ALWAYS 100% rosy @ the university --when anyone with 1/2 a brain knows that isn't the case ---do you ever question the fans that ALWAYS ALWAYS make excuse after excuse like injuries for a loss---like we are the ONLY TEAM TO HAVE INJURIES --the PRETENDER crowd
Can you ever be fair and balanced ?---or are you always biased against facts and realism
There is a reason we went 6-6.
Injuries played a large part in that.
Injuries to the O Line, RBs, and even at QB helped secure that.
Also, our bowl game opponent coming down with COVID, beyond our control. Could have went out on a positive note.
Hawaii was demoralized playing under Norvell mentor Todd Graham, they were ready to lie down and quit.
Now it's true there are some fans who a bit overzealous and predict 14-0. What's wrong with loving your team?
Who gets hurt by that?
Most of us on the board are more grounded in reality. My personal belief is that we'll win 8 games this year. Next year, if Henigan returns, we win the AAC.
Backroom deals with other conferences are fluid. If the Big 12 had expanded and not invited us in it's last expansion merry go round where they ended up taking no one...the ACC was talking to us.
ESPN paid the B12 not to expand.
Can you imagine a scenario where the B12 would interview Rice as an expansion candidate and not Memphis?
Use your head for something other than a hatrack for a change.
