Bold: And you’re allowed to. We don’t agree, but we also don’t have to agree.
On field performance is not a tradition. I want that too, but it isn't what I was getting at with the OP. If On field was a tradition, we would not have suffered the last 15 years.
That's what he did, and you all attacked him, so he defended his position...Like any of us might do in a Uni thread... Silly to get worked up, IMO. Enough of that. We're bowling!!!!
Fun was all I was onto in the OP. I thought it was fun, and maybe even a little crazy/tough to wear a kilt in a CNY winter. I like fun crazy. We got a win tonight. We are bowl eligible. The kilt did not cost us wins as was suggested by others. Now on the other hand, do I think that more people in kilts could draw the attention of the casual fan? Yes I do. Do I think more fans in the Dome could actually help with recruits, and yes even wins? Yes I do. So do I think kilts could get us more winds? Yes. Does it have to be a kilt? No, it can be anything that is unique and creates a fun SU-centric atmosphere. A tradition of winning is lazy. We all want that and yearn for it, but it's not a "tradition" in my opinion unless it can be handed down. That to me requires it to be more if not entirely tangible to work. winning is not tangible and if it is a tradition, why did we drop the tradition around 2003? Yell squads, Howard's Rock, touching the "Play like a champion" sign, running under and touching the "M club" sign, Dotting the "i", wearing a houndstooth fedora, rolling the grove, 3rd quarter "Jump Around" are just some such traditions that are not "just win bowl games". They are the things that create the atmosphere that sustains winning. The post game locker room speeches are also becoming a bit of a tradition. Are you embarrassed by them too (not you RandomGuy)? Does that cost us recruits? I too think the turnover chain is dumb, but I didn't go to Miami and I don't want to see them succeed. Ask Nunn if the chain delayed his flipping to the Canes, or if it helped him believe he was making the right choice.
I think most people here have those “board moments” they never forget. This is mine.
Says the guys willing to judge people he doesn’t know for doing something different (dude wearing a skirt or kilt) than what he thinks the ideal is. Yes, I am definitely the problem with society. Let me go enjoy our win in my snowflake safe space.
To be clear, without exaggeration, I was accused of killing young boys (contributing to their suicides) because I pointed out that men wearing skirts won't translate well to much of this country, especially the areas that produce football talent. I was also hilariously threatened by multiple posters. Well, more accurately, they volunteered some guy who probably doesn't know this conversation ever happened, and probably wouldn't care if he did, to find me and attack me (you can't make this stuff up). I was also called a multitude of colorful names - often by people who randomly put words on my mouth. Then I had a poster imply that I was gay (which is ironic, because I don't think that's an insult, but he clearly does). And lastly, one guy told repeatedly told me to leave, presumably because my opinion made him uncomfortable, and as far as I know, other than what looks like a drunken incoherent stammering, he has yet to articulate a counter stance.
Again, this post is filled with drama.
This is just it. You're trying to be a victim, and you're trying to stamp out my opinion because it disagrees with yours, while claiming that I'm oppressing you because I dared be honest with how I felt.
