Oh hey JC... I keep an eye from a distance!
I too have been critical over the years of some of the things that MS has done. Frankly I'm embarrassed by the term "Maine Southed" because there is nothing positive that comes from it. Having neighbors kids that played during the '08-'10 run that didn't get to play much and others whose names were mentioned here daily, I always felt like the program wasn't as much about the kids as I had hoped....my boys are at MS now and much of those things are different.
However, that being said, I have seen threads about those same kids here saying all sorts of horrible things that were not only untrue, but quite simply STUPID. There have been all sorts of allegations started here over the years, many of which were originated by people who shouldn't throw stones in glass houses. I almost got permanently banned here for making an analogy about some of those people in glass houses!
JC fortunately you have always been true to fact and well written for sure! Thanks for the hello!
