Ahso, you might want to step back out of the forest again, because you're misconstrueing the gist of my message. Read your own post carefully. Forget about "the only one" part, sure, maybe others think they're the voice of objectivity. Whatever. What amuses me is that you refer to yourself as (and yes, this is a quote from you):
"I do not get involved in it emotionally. I get involved from an analytical basis and one of searching for the truth." I'm simply saying I find the quote laughable. You consider yourself a Tech fan with clarity and objectivity. Maybe others have stated themselves as such. And then, they're being a little silly, too.
My point would be -- everyone has some amount of subjectivity and emotion on this board. It's not an antiseptic philosophy course, it's Tech football, and we bring our subjective desires for the institution/athletics into the argument. I don't buy that anyone on this board is operating from a purely analytical point of view. If you do, I'll resell that bridge back to you.
Find any quote where I said I was the only one trying to be objective about Gailey and last season. You can't.
See above. Forget about "only one".
In fact, there have been many on the board who have been objective and seeking the truth about the season.
List them, please. Do they all happen to agree with your points of view? Are the voices of truth the people who echo what you say? Do any voices of truth contradict you.
Did I say I think highly of myself, or is that another item you have dreamed up?
I read between the lines. You come off as pompous and patronizing. Sorry, its my impression.
But, once again I'm a dreamer.
If you think everyone on this board is acting in the best interest of Tech, instead of their own personal interest, I have a bridge to sell you.
You're probably right here. I typed that line quickly and looking back its questionable. There are people on this board with personal agendas at the forefront and possibly some hidden Bulldogs, etc.
There are some on this board who are putting their personal agenda ahead of this year's Tech season. If you missed it, one person came on the board and admitted he wanted Tech to lose the first four games and then for Braine and Gailey to be fired.
I will say this -- I consider the people who root vs. the current team (for the fire Gailey agenda) to be deeply wrong. But, ultimately I pick up their stance as "I want him out for whom I think will do a better job for Tech football." That's a Tech interest, although I think its a horribly flawed way to root for your school/team.
I get your point, though, and agree that the correct thing to do is root for your school, irregardless of a personal agenda. I plan to root for Tech football, period, whether I believe in the coach or not. I salute you on the basic premise.
If you think that poster is wanting what is best for this football team, then I know you are a good candidate to buy the bridge.
