I won't defend BeeBad's past actions. What he provides GT fans may indeed be for stroking his own ego, but you cannot deny the quality and exclusivity. IMO, its better content than the "private" boards and its FREE.

I wonder how many of you guys secretly listen to his shows because you can't get that kind of info anywhere else, then come on here and bash him.

Right now, it appears he's focusing his efforts on bringing us insight into the new class of signees with his interviews. Its good stuff if you've never listened in. Even if you hate him, you can't deny the quality and exclusivity of the content.

I give him credit for having a good board. The content is quality. I don't know how exclusive it is. When GT news breaks, it typically doesn't happen on that board probably because no one there is connected with the program in some way. The interviews are a unique aspect of his board and he definitely has a niche there and gives good exposure to GT's program.

Don't think that the people in the GTAA don't recognize who he is from past actions and they will always keep him at arms length for it. He is now a tool for them. When he plucks down a significant amount of money to the GTAA, maybe they'll actually care about him.

whiskyclear02 - just take it from some people who have been around for a bit and otherwise have no axe to grind that Beebad, DoubleB or whatever he calls himself these days is no friend of the Institute.

What he pretends to be to further his own interests effectively masks his true nature.

The only thing Beebad cares about is Beebad. If Tech gets in his way, to quote a phrase, he'll burn it down.

Wow, pretty dramatic for a post about a guy who runs a sports message board. It sounds to me like there are a lot of people on here holding a grudge about past (Gailey related?) issues. To sum it up, it sounds like some people on here think he went too far in efforts to get rid of Gailey--is that accurate?

If that is the case, the outcome of ridding GT of Gailey, at any cost, seems to have turned out pretty well so far. By saying that he would "burn it down", is that a remnant of the feeling that his desire to take down Gailey was greater than his concern for the well-being of GT football?
 
I was once threatened by beebad with legal actions if I continued to slander him. I responded that I was only repeating things he said on these boards, and I' love to hear from his lawyer. (This was when he was interviewing Giff Smith, and I asked if he would rip on Giff for the recruits we got the way he did earlier, ala Gilbert as BOR pointed out).

I never heard anything else about it.

Most people just think he's a douchebag.

No, it is not accurate. People here joined his board taking his "no holds barred" assertion at face value and found him to be extremely hypocritical on that front. At least the Hive is open about its rules for censoring posts. And his censorship was much more self-serving than RR's rules.

To the point of Gailey, there are actually many who agreed with the need to replace Gailey. But not everyone subscribes to the "end justifies the means" argument you seem to make. Nor does anyone here think he had anything at all to do with replacing Gailey any sooner than he would have been otherwise.

I'm just trying to understand the whole situation--not trying to ruffle any feathers!

I don't claim he had anything to do with Gailey being replaced. I was just wondering if the issues regarding his desire for Gailey to be fired is what fueled the disagreements.

So, I've gathered that his censorship practices were a big part of what made people so anti-bbuzzoff. I suppose I would feel the same way, were I censored for expressing my opinion.

I've never really understood the bickering about the "other" board that you see on both of these sites. I've been reading and posting to both for years, and just see occasional jabs each way. What's the deal? It seems like some lame BS to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

Any opinions I have about BO are based on personal experiences. The moderators over there would edit my posts to "win" arguments, and would also ban users for not agreeing with their party line about who should be fired and why. That's what "no holds barred" means - it means Animal Farm.

They also aren't above digging through their user database to find people's private email addresses and harass them via email about their opinions, even if the user has long since quit using their board, even in rebuttal to things they posted on other boards like Stingtalk.

I've posted evidence of both of these things before, here to Stingtalk. As have others.

They're basically a bunch of children.

My issue was that he ridiculed Tech players, fans and coaches in his attempt to make everything about getting rid of Gailey. He went way beyond what anyone who went to Tech or loves Tech would ever do in his single minded desire to get out his message on Gailey. He attacked other posters, even sending emails to their personal accounts harrassing them about posts on OTHER message boards. It was about way more than just censorship, although he did that as well.
 
2. I know there is an allegation that Beebad (or someone involved with that show) was posting under Adamm's username and would not cease after requested to the point where the admins had to disable the username AT THE REQUEST OF ADAMM.

This is so unsurprising.

When I and a few other posters called him out for it because the recruits hadn't even been ranked yet, he stuck to his guns and continued to insult Gilbert. He started looking so bad that he deleted entire posts, deleted his own thread to get rid of the evidence, and then booted 5 people, me included, who couldn't continue to call him out.

That's a good one too. I hadn't heard that one yet.

I still think we should put together an all-time top 10 Beebad idiocy list.
 
No matter how much he changes, I remember all that he did and said and so does everyone in the AA.
 
whatever happened with Adamm and the radio show anyway? It's just Beebad now

Adamm said during one of the early shows that he wanted to let others run with it once it was setup. Although it was rather abrupt when he and "Irish E" stopped appearing. I don't think they ever said why. The interviews they get now are great, but BB and Jeremiah McClary don't really do anything for me. I liked when 33jacket was on during Spring Practice giving reports.

I agree 33Jacket brings a very good perspective on how individuals are performing in practice. Too bad he is not involved as much. A few other posters on Bbuzzoff - Dude47 and CharlesWilson bring very good perspective on GT football.....

If you step back and look at all three message boards and objectively measure there content and original information (free stuff) there is no denying Bbuzzoff.com and MTMradio.net provide more original credible information, interviews with players and coaches. Has any board had CPJ do a private interview but MTMradio? The AA can hate BB all they want but as long as he is getting interviews with players, former players, coaches and recruits, I am going to listen. If the interviews were terrible I wouldn't listen. In fact, fairly informative and done with class.

I guess there is no denying the dark side of how BB got to where he is, I just like learning/hearing as much information as I can regarding GT Athletics.....(but I'm not going to pay for it, when 99% is free)

If the AA truly hated BB, then why do they give him a Press Pass?

They don't have to....yet they do. Obviously they don't care nor "hate" him much.

And frankly, most stuff I read on this, in regards to the show is a bunch of BS.

Adamm, myself and irish all stepped away for various reasons. I can't speak for them, but for me it was strictly due to time.

Well, I can tell you he's banned a ton of people including me for just disagreeing with his opinion. When Joseph Gilbert committed to GT early in the recruiting year, Beebad (Double B) made some slanderous comments that he was a piss poor recruit and Gailey was bringing in these kids who sucked. This was in 2007 when we had the best recruiting class we've ever had. When I and a few other posters called him out for it because the recruits hadn't even been ranked yet, he stuck to his guns and continued to insult Gilbert. He started looking so bad that he deleted entire posts, deleted his own thread to get rid of the evidence, and then booted 5 people, me included, who couldn't continue to call him out.

In his hatred for Gailey he just took things WAY too far and this was a great instance. I didn't like Gailey either, but Beebad had the attitude that if you didn't bash everything associated with Gailey and stopped supporting the GTAA altogether, then you were "accepting mediocrity" and he insulted you. He's called me so many names in the past I can't remember them all including sending me emails unsolicited telling me to "Go **** myself" after I made him look like a complete fool on his own board.

Id like to see him say some of the things to my face and others like John Davis that he's said over message boards or in emails.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of that hiding behind the keyboard stuff going around.:laugher:
 
If he wants to defend his opinion valiantly, then let him do so.

Well sure. But it's the non-valiant-ness of his methods that's the problem.
