Message: [QUOTE="CaptainJ, post: 1294479, member: 1553"] I really respect you even more for posting on here than I ever have in the past. I have no idea how long you've read this board, but I wanted you to know that other student athletes have taken it far worse, and some have come around to receive a lot of love from the fickle fans. I sure as heck would love to be a fly on the wall during your talks with BJ, but I have the respect and common sense never to ask about such personal matters. I've witnessed the resolve you have for hanging around these hooligans, and I have the faith you have instilled the same in your son. Sometimes things just take time to work themselves out, and are well worth the wait. As fans we have become spoiled to an extent, and I expect good and great things from BJ going forward. I'm not even talking about next season, I am talking game to game. I don't mind patting myself on the back arguing strongly in favor of you or anyone who abides by the rules staying here, and the class you've shown in the face of this makes me feel like I've bet on the right horse. BJ is young, has great athleticism, and as a lot going for him. Although elsewhere I've said I think Thomas Bryant would be more important in turning the corner than anyone in next years' incoming class, I am also proud to say I'd rather not have it come at the expense of losing BJ, Buss, Chris, or DuJaun. These young men have already committed to the Orange, and while Mr Bryant may have understandable reasons for not having yet done so, the fact of the matter is that he still hasn't. I'm rooting for all of these young men to excel AS ORANGE, and hope to see you posting for a long time as well, even if it makes a certain mod or two like me even less for saying so. As to everyone in general, for personal reasons it was a rare time I missed much of the game. I will try to rewatch the entire game to look for the moments in question, the same as I did when at least one person called Silent G a "cancer"(and others agreed, or didnt bother to disagree), a short time before the board and team heralded him as part of "the big 3". Take heart OG, these folks can be fickle, and from what I've seen from you I have faith your son has direction, even if it hasn't materialized as much as we've hoped. Go BJ, go JB, go OG, go Silent G, go Orange! [/QUOTE]
