Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 2206401, member: 5436"] Thanks Nick - honestly, I have started and erased at least half a dozen posts on different threads recently, all meant to argue with either JMick, Paesano or a few others of the "bash Ollie on everything possible" on practically every thread. I for one enjoy a good debate, as well as talking about recruits and other pertinent info brought to us by informed posters like tcf15, Matrim55 and others. But time and time again I have read through threads the last few months as this group takes pot shots, states that we have no chance with any good recruits any more, or that Ollie is the worst coach ever, blah, blah, blah. As I saw Mau post in a recent thread... ENOUGH ALREADY! We know how you (JMick and others) feel about Ollie and what you perceive is every horrible thing he has done to ruin the program. You do not have to destroy every thread with your continual negativity. We got it. Here is my suggestion to JMick, Paesano and other bashers: make your own thread, and have at it... I have no doubt you all need the outlet to release your negative feelings. I get it. After the way this year went, we all need at least a little (or more) venting. But STOP RUINING EVERY FREAKING THREAD OTHERWISE! No one here says Ollie is perfect, or beyond criticism. We just want to see if the changes he has made, to himself and the coaching staff, can have the desired effect that most (maybe even all) of us want... and that is a perennial winner again, a practically yearly trip to the tournament with a legit chance to make a deep run. Leave the other threads to constructive conversation, and healthy debate. And if you have a real desire to be involved in these conversations and debates in a constructive way, then by all means join in. Unfortunately this board has been getting way too much like watching the political talk on TV. People are all one way, or another, with hardly any room left for rational, honest discourse and healthy debate. The sad thing is, it is within rational, honest discourse and debate in which the most constructive conversation happens. [/QUOTE]
