Of course I would not walk up Stansbury and tell him he is doing a shitastic job. It is not m y place. Stricklin will take care of that

 

[DawgatAuburn]

I would never say that to a player. Or tweet it.

I've yelled it at Stansbury, but I don't think he heard me from my seat. Pretty sure Croom never heard me either, but I still said it.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

..not sure why folks are blasting you for not posting your real name.

It's not like you said people should put their real identities out there. Just that people are a lot more brave and in-your-face when they can hide behind a moniker. That's pretty much a no-brainer.

[rabiddawg]

Every year, that check I send to the Alumni Association, that gives the right to call a spade a spade. What I do is complain straight to the AD. He always responds.

 

[thatsbaseball]

we do know how to tell a pissant like youto 17 yourself

 

[Coach34]

I know many a person that has emailed Strick their thoughts about the basketball situation and put their names at the bottom of it.

I say a ton of things about our basketball program on facebook- and usually get plenty of responses- so everybody has their name in plain view there

People should never say bad things to the players right after games- in person, facebook, twitter...thats not the time. But if players want to be part of the "social media craze" - then they should expect some people being critical. Nobody said social media was for positive comments only. If you dont want to hear negative ****- keep your *** of twitter or play better.

I personally think its dumb to be try and friend a player on facebook- but they dont have to add you as a friend either. It's their choice.


What a message board does though is add a bit of freedom to express your thoughts. You say 99% of the people here wouldnt say these things to their faces- but that goes for all walks of life. When you break up with a girlfriend because you have met someone else that is half gymnast and half dirty little girl- you dont tell your girlfriend that. You tell her I need some time on my own, it's not you it's me, I just cant handle a relationship right now...Very few people are completely honest face to face when what they have to say will hurt or anger the other person.

 

[seshomoru]

We might even have a good talk about the Grizzlies. I doubt I'd get much conversation out of them about the Tour de France though. There are probably a lot of things from way back when that I would keep to myself. Mainly about Coach Croom.

I am the 1%.</p>

 

[Xartox]

Only reason I haven't in person is because I haven't been to Starkville to see him face to face in a while.

I am anonymous because I don't want people to know that I post on a message board. I speak the same way to my friends about our bnasketball program as I do on here. If Rick asked me what I thought in person, I would 17'n give it straight to him. But he doesn't care what I think. I would get out the pen and paper and show him how to beat a zone if he wanted.

eta: I have spoken with scott about specific basketball issues. It was last year. The issues were the exact same ones as this year. Same as the two years before as well. I have never said anything to a player because I am a grown *** man. Except once when Sidney said something soooo hypocritical that I couldn't help it. It was on twitter and my twitter name is the same as my real name. I immediatelyregretted it.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

i did when i was in school and richard williams was the coach. since then... well i did when JWS came to town for an alumni mixer.... i don't think he liked my question all that much.

since then though... nah. i live way to far away for face to face meetings with any of the teams that i bleed maroon for...

i only wish that i lived closer because i liked being able to talk with the athletes and the coaches.

 

[dawgbydesign]

PM me your real name and address, and I will come to your house and you can tell me to 17 myself in person. I guarantee this won't happen. You are awfully brave hiding behind the name "thatsbaseball"<div>
</div><div>Since you were "brave" enough to tell me to 17 myself anonymously, we will also make a deal to let the board know when you take me up on this. Then we will both post our real names.</div>

 

[dawgbydesign]

such insightful comments to my post will post there real names in response also? Thanks to all for proving my point.<div>
</div><div>Too easy.</div>

[EmoryBellard]

This might get good.

 

[drt7891]

Since you are calling everyone else idiots for not posting their name and proving your point, why don't you post yours and get us started?

 

[drt7891]

A) You have posted your real name on a message board at the collegiate level
B) You have posted your real name on a message board at the high school level
C) You have posted your real name on a message board at the JV Girls Basketball level
D) You have zero experience posting your real name on a message board.

I vote D for you. This all seems like a very jeanspage-ish type challenge to me.

B. Because talking **** to players and coaches is ridiculous. That's the AD's job. Many people send him emails or call.

You're probably right about the 1% though.

 

[dawgstudent]

You are making fun of people talking about Stansbury's coaching while posting anonymously while you - in that same thread - are posting anonymously.

Too easy.

 

[dawgbydesign]

Never called anyone an idiot. Only stated the obvious which has been proven many times over in this one thread.

And it looks like I'm the only one who admits the anonymous thing is true. So it make more sense for all those who don't to start, right?

So drt7891 volunteers to commence the experiment.

[dawgbydesign]

But nice try. I'm not making fun of anyone. I'm stating the obvious. If someone is offended maybe the shoe fits.<div>
</div><div>The irony is that I am the only one who admits that noone wants there name under their post and a bunch of people without names under their posts are criticizing me for it.</div><div>
</div><div>That, my friend is too easy.</div>

 

[fishwater99]

I really don't blame our players, it all comes back to our horrible coach...

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

The original pamphlet writers in the runup to the Revolutionary War were anonymous posters, and the British overlords wanted to know who THEY were. Many pamphleteers wrote against the Nazis during World War 2, and the Gestapo desperately wanted to know who THOSE anonymous posters were. Same way with the Communists behind the Iron Curtain.

So, which side do you? The Nazis? The Communists? Or America? I know who I'm rooting for.

 

[bendog]

TURRIBLE thread. You can PM me your real name and yes, I will come to your house and tell you that to your face.

 

[dawgstudent]

no one is saying to post about Stansbury - you have to give your name. You are. Yet you won't post your name.
