The problem is simple. Fans and parents have slightly different priorities, though they both want the program to do well. It works best when the two parties see each other’s posts within those priorities and empathize.

Some are incapable of this. Some are too passionate about their priority to see clearly.

This. When I coached hockey the parents only cared about one player, not how well the team did. I didn’t last long

I liked Billy Edelin's Dad.

That preceded my time on the board. I wasn't even aware of its existence. I wish I had. Those years would have been fun on the basketball side.

Thats why I cant figure out why Adams cant get a carry anymore

He’s been hurt

I remember Steven Clark's and Shyheim Cullen's dads being good contributors without any problems. I think Clark's dad still pops back in every now and then. Of course, I remember those players being fan favorites that didn't get criticized much on here. That makes a big difference.

Shys dad is still here…

Don’t Believe the Hype, Play the Game! Edelin’s dad, BJ Johnson’s dad, and Allen Griffin’s dad were all good posters on the b-ball side IMO.

what about grandma? she was ok by me.

That's cool. I haven't seen him post in a while.

I often wonder how many player parents do read the board and not post.

Wonder the same about players. I found this place over 15 years ago when I was in college, and I didn’t attend Syracuse. Have to believe at least a few of them found there way here and lurked.

Edelin's dad was a walking NCAA violation.

Not sure what this means, but hope your son is feeling good.

If Josh is good to go, then the RB room is going to be stacked.

Yeah not exactly clear on the message here? Good news? Leg is better hopefully?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm just here for a good time.

 

[UnknownOrange]

The fact that this isn't Zack Galfinakis makes my brain explode every time i see it

 

[CbusCuse]

Such a tease...
Staff discussing Josh Hough playing RB / TE?!?

 

[dollarbill44]

But I don't know why or if I should be.

No parent should ever post on these boards. Recipe for disaster. Never remember it really working out. Well, maybe Alec Lemon's dad but that's about it.

I agree but we have to face reality, most parents will read this board even if they don’t post on it. Same with recruits. The players are warned about doing it but I imagine curiosity wins sometimes. I also bet if positions were reversed most on this board , most would do the same thing to check out the attitude towards their child etc, plus the level of support for the players, program and coaches. It’s nuts not to realize that and pretend otherwise.

Well said, Cherie. Agree completely. Some of us have been saying the last part literally since the ‘90s.

I always believe people should never post anything here that they wouldn’t say directly to someone’s face. I recognize that when we are talking about players and game performances, etc, that can be very challenging. Still, posters ought to at least remember, before they post, that the people they are talking about - many of whom are players, parents, family members, recruits, coaches, et al - are going to be reading their words.
