Baylor on Final List for Two Top 20 2013 Recruits

[HuskyNan]

LOL...so true...at times we go days without a post.

Don't let anyone run you off, ETT. We regulars might get cranky with you from time to time but that just means we see you as family. We've gotten interesting and informative posts from Cam, cardfan jennyo, Knightsbridge, coler, and a slew of others are appreciated her, even our LV visitors

I don't mind someone coming here on occasion but when someone retires on this site with nothing but Baylor slanted stuff posting 50 times a day and more, it gets old really quickly.

If it bothers you so much, just use the "ignore" feature. Presto, your problem is solved.

I was going to post the same thing re "ignore". One thing I disliked about the otherboard was just how unwelcome they were to posters from other teams. The boneyard is much more welcoming to everyone (who doesn't call the team the "Lady" huskies ) and is a very interesting read most times. If I find something repetitive, pedantic, or uninteresting, I exercise my inner editor and skip over the post.

So Buzzzzzzz......have you explored your inner editor lately?

I believe it was Cam who said once that he slowly turned to become a fan of the UCONN program. Of course I want Baylor to be successful but after spending so much time here I've grown to develop a great appreciation of the UCONN program and its devoted fanbase. Great supporters of UCONN, wbb and sports as a whole. You guys are very fortunate to have such a great program to support and each other to enjoy it with.

Some of you are so concerned about being loved by fans of other teams that you lose perspective. First of all, the title doesn't tell me this thread has NOTHING to do with UConn. The recruits vaguely referred to could also have had UConn on their lists. I didn't know for sure this wasn't the case until I read the posting.

Why do you people think it would be great to hear about EVERY recruit that has ANY of our rivals or main competitors on their list? Do You really find it fascinating to know what dozens of recruits who don't have UConn on their list are thinking? It may be sad that Baylor is too pathetic to have their own board to post this on but, tough.

I've seen few posts on this topic, including Nan's, that represent the situation well. Here's the heart of the matter, as I view it:

1) Baylor is the WCBB frontrunner, which covers a lot of sins as far as relevancy to Husky fans is concerned. So far, so good.
2) Few would want to run ETT off the reservation, since other Baylor fans have abdicated the post as Ambassador from Texas.
3) ETT has more posts here than most of the natives.
4) The only problem is OVERKILL.

So, instead of nearly all the regulars exploring their inner editor, why doesn't ETT exercise some self-restraint?

I'd daresay I've never seen a situation like this on another fanboard tied to a particular school and sport.

It's the off season. We can have 20 threads on food, music and other assorted OT topics or we can have threads on Baylor, Duke and ND recruits. Or all of the above. At least ETT is talking basketball. Geez, lighten up, unless you want the Boneyard to be awash on "What did you do for summer vacation?" threads instead of topics discussing the #1 team in the country.

I find it hard to believe you read my post that you just quoted.

 

[Huskymaniac]

I'm interested in food and music and I would rather hear about what a UCONN fan did on their summer vacation than hear about every recruit that has baylor on their list from the next three classes! What is so confusing about that? We will be hearing plenty about Baylor in a few months. Until then, can't the baylor fans find each other on the internet?

PLEASE just hit the ignore button on his name and you will never see his posts again. Just like I am going to do with you.

A few hours late perhaps.... but

I find your posts humerous and interesting Wonk, so please don't take this as aimed at you personally....the editorial function I mentioned is applied uniformly over all posts I chose not to read, regardless of the affinity of the author. And, actually I have enjoyed the BY more this offseason than any other offseason since they killed the Rivalry board because of the divirsity of the subject matter instead of the repetitive "who will start" and the recruiting nail biting that usually populates the board. I think that this off season is the first time that my "inner editor" has not been on autopilot.

I share those sentiments, Rady.

When we think the visitors, or any one of them, has posted too much, we'll let them know. And we welcome PMs from all concerned.

A few dissenters have had their say today, and I don't expect to see a lot more of it on the board. Would suggest they broaden their reading horizons if they're unhappy with what they see here. We aren't going to have them engaging in self-help efforts to discourage or constrain visitors.

Doggy.....c'mon.....you know I love ya more than my luggage....

Not your antique alligator set. But then they kind of remind you of Grumpisoress.

First and foremost, THANK GOD!!! Now I won't have to read your obnoxious responses to my postings anymore!!!

Second, some of you are so concerned about your image as "good fans" that you would rather read about some obscure baylor recruit than what a UConn fan says about your own program. Don't break your arms trying to pat yourselves on the back. When I read your holier than thou postings I get this image of you as "The Church Lady". Well, it appears as though someone isn't a "FAN OF THE GAME". Now what could cause you to not be a good fan...hmmmm...let's see...what oh what could it be...oh, I don't.......could it be........SATAN!!!

Beat it. Go back to the men's board.

Well, I didn't put you on ignore. It was more of an example. I have self control and can ignore your posts if I choose without using the feature. And I don't need to complain to the world about them, even though they add nothing to this board.

Holier than thou? What a weird way to look at it.

You are a crying baby. Change your diaper and maybe you will be less cranky.

This seems quite clear that you were going to hit the ignore button and never see (read) my posts again. So you are not a man of your word........

It also seems I have hit a nerve with a couple of you. The name of this nerve is called truth.

I was quite serious when I said "beat it". If you're not going to add anything of substance or of interest, then leave. If you have trouble staying off the board, I can help you with that.

Thanks for the info. I'm not that "boneyard literate" that I was even aware that I could hit "ignore". I'm one of probably many people who read the boneyard religiously who isn't as often prone to initiating a comment or adding to someone else's since I'm overtly impressed that most discussions are covered so thoroughly and insightfully, that there is little else to say about a specific topic. Much kudos to the main contributors. I personally feel that hearing from other boards periodically is great. There is someone from Duke who contributes here often but doesn't appear to be nearly as slanted in his or her opinions as does ETT and that is part of my issue. Myself being a big Yankee fan, if there was a Red Sox board (and there may be) and I wrote 500 posts a day regarding the Yankees and Jeter and Texeira and all sorts of trivia regarding the Bombers, I can't conceive that eventually someone might want to firebomb my house. An occasional entry is one thing but when someone lives on this site???????? My only issue was that ETT seems to be a dominate poster on this sight and there is a tendency for slants that are super super pro Baylor. I feel anything to the extreme can be a little too much. It's readily apparent that ETT is a knowledgeable women's basketball junkie but again, anything to the extreme isn't all that palatable, at least to me.

If it was a TN fan, I would see your point. But Baylor? Just a rival this year becasue they are that good. Not the same thing.

ETT is an orphan and we have adopted him. Just ignore or don't read his posts. He has no where else to go.
