Why do so many of you insist on publicly trashing our program and its leader in a public forum at every possible opportunity? Do you think recruiting is going to magically improve when recruits read the message boards (believe me, they do) and see the fans constantly talking öööö about the players and coaches?
Since some of you can only see in extremes, let me qualify that statement. Obviously the coach is open to criticism, and PJ certainly should be criticized at this point, but using EVERY single thing that happens, good or bad, to further your anti-(insert coach) agenda is not good for anything.
Can't we say positive things in discussions about our recruits without making insulting "high school offense" remarks?
Can't we discuss on-field results without constant personal attacks against the coach that are hateful and contribute nothing to the discussion?
Can't we accept the transfer of a SINGLE PLAYER (considered very average by everyone except for our own fans) without insisting that it is the last straw for our coach?
Seriously, StingTalk used to be my favorite GT board because it was fun and lightly moderated, but the polarization here makes it almost impossible to actually have a real discussion. I open a 15 page thread only to read 12 pages of "arrogant SOB" and "stubborn ass PJ won't play Vad/Justin/flavor of the week" and "GTFO Pawl" along with 3 pages of people who end up coming across as sunshine pumpers because they are forced to constantly be positive to combat all of the irrational attacks.
I don't get it.
