Message: [QUOTE="Antiprodigy, post: 2132425, member: 582"] Alsacs, You have quite a few good points in your post. You also have some points that not everyone can see, or maybe it is admit to seeing. This place is first, and foremost a fan forum. It is a place to gather and discuss SU sports. It is human nature that different people will have different viewpoints. And that is O.K. I think the biggest issue is the apparent need for many posters to start a thread to complain about the recruiting or the coaching of the players. That's fine. But when you have thread after thread that is realistically just a rehash of a previous thread, what is the point? Is it any wonder that some (including me) get the sense of negativity when there are 10 different threads with people basically b*tching about whatever aspect of the program they feel is wrong? Or, a thread gets hijacked, and taken in the same direction. (wish it was only 10, but realistically, if you actually pay attention to it, i feel you will find that the number is quite a bit higher than that) It is really lovely over on the recruiting board when a thread about a potential recruit gets hijacked and turned into a 3, 5 or 10 page b*tch session about the state of whatever they have a b*tch about. The thing is, we are supposed to be fans of the program. We should at all times want what is best for the program. It would be nice if people thought before they posted about what they are about to post and think about whether it really sounds like it is coming from a fan of the program, or just someone who wants things their way. Once in a great while, the people who run the program actually do know more than you or I, and have a much better idea at how to deal with/fix the issue. After all, we are talking about their livelyhood. Fortunately for me, my job and my entire way of supporting my family and lifestyle do not rely upon me knowing how to run a college basketball program. We aren't all just Rah! Rah! people. Sometimes we just realize that there are other people out there running the program that know far more than we do, and we accept that at times, though it may not seem like what they are doing is smart or makes sense, they know far more than we ever will.
