I can't remember the last time I sent someone into exile or deleted a user's post for simply posting an opinion. In fact, I don't recall it ever happening. But, I've seen a lot of stupid shit posted on this board lately, much of it nothing more than unfounded (and untrue) rumors, stated as fact. I've also seen some, what I'd call doomsday wishcasting, from a couple of members who just enjoy being miserable and want everyone else to hop along for the ride. On the former, it's unlikely I'm going to let a lot of that go unchecked for several reasons, least of not which is I don't want the perception out there that those ideas are supported by the people who run this site. On the latter, some days, I'm going to call those folks out and at the very least try to get them to defend their (almost always) uncovered positions. If any of that is too difficult for someone to handle, or they thinks it's unfair, mean, or simply a poor way to operate this site, I can offer links to other places. Or someone with under the hood knowhow like Lance or Terry might can offer tips on starting their own.

I legit called out a younger fan today because for saying incredibly ignorant shit. I'm 30 and this dude is probably between 25-28 years old. The poor guy thinks Nick Sheridan is the worst OC ever and apparently has no idea who Dave Rader was.

I doubt CKD replaces his OC or DC year one. Again it takes time....

How long did Major Applewhite last?

That was CNS who had the credibility to do it. I think CKD will view year one as what it is and stay loyal to his coordinators as they have had to put in a new system.

Aw man 2 run plays up the middle with McClain pass on 3rd down and punt!

Often times I just ignore and let it slide... but I also feel that if bullshit begins to permeate here, it could end up like kudzu (and not @kudzu the former awesome member here). I just can't deal with that. We've seen an uptick with it lately, and some of it at least calls for some spot treatment, IMO.

Agreed. I'm thankful that you've been here with your liberal use of herbicides and pesticides.

That's never been my "scene" no matter the subject or place. I've read; just chosen not to jump in the mud puddle made with piss.

Thing is...it's not just stupid shit here. It's EVERYWHERE.

In the last two, three weeks we've seen two ball boys get involved in scraps with players. App State acting like Eagles fans throwing stuff at the opponents as they enter the field. Texas fans with their "demonstration." We saw it a year ago with Tennessee fans. Players attacking referees (which, with the addition of the light displays in stadiums, think they are center stage at a WWF event.)

For the record, I still believe in Deboer. I still have hope that he can right the ship and get it moving in the right direction. You can't be that successful everywhere you go and be incompetent. I just don't like Sheridan or Wommack. Both of them seem to be in way over their heads. Maybe they get another year. Maybe they don't. All I know is that those two cannot keep using the same game plans over and over and expect to succeed. They have to change. Whatever their philosophy or vision, it doesn't work. Not in big boy football. And for the love of all that is holy, please find a good inside linebacker crew and defensive line crew that can stop the run. Bama has been vulnerable to the run all year. Hunter is going to kill them Saturday, especially with Lawson being out. As for Jalen, everyone knows what he is now. He's not going to improve and he's not going to change. Bama just has to live or die with him. Jalen runs successfully, good times are ahead. Jalen gets shut down running early, bad times ahead. It's just that simple. Anyway, that's my take. That and a dollar will get you a cheap cup of coffee, as the saying goes.
