So... you want to be able to state your opinion without being lambasted??? That is your first amendment right? Why do you think that can happen here? Seriously, I'm curious. What about the rights of those who have "lambasted" you? Don't they have that right too then?? And, really, have you noticed how many people have said they agree with you?? It's not about your opinions and views, PCBGSU, it's about respect, both for the members of this site and for BGSU.

And, as Schadenfreude states, the only first amendment rights that are protected and guaranteed are mine. If you REALLY don't think you can get a fair shake here, get your opinion stated (and I think you've done that already), and speak your mind, then go to GoDaddy.com, buy a domain name, set up a website and shout it to the world, my man!! I checked, and poorlycoachedbgsu.com is available! Jump on it before HammB gets there first!

Sir, this is not a "FOOTBALL BOARD". This is a private board founded by our beloved leader in the memory of his father. He funds it. It is not in any way, shape, or form, related to the University, therefore, it is not a University, open to the world, "FOOTBALL BOARD. We have informal rules. Grammar and an attempt at proper punctuation have been a hallmark of this board and our attempt to thank AZZ for giving us a place to express opinions. He, and most others among us, favor coherent posts.
We have corrected each other for years, and will continue to do so to those who pass by.

If you don't like the way we play in our sandbox, take your toys and go home. Or hang around with us for a while and share nicely.

For the umpteenth time pcbgsu...it's not what you said, it's HOW YOU SAID IT that caused this thread to go 4 pages long! It's actually become rather entertaining...should have made popcorn, too......
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

To be fair, I don't believe MACMAN has ever accused anyone of being a "moron" nor has he specifically called out a particular poster.

I critical thought really that difficult to comeby with the young-uns? IS IT?

I have only ever banned 2 people on this site; and only one that anyone here might remember - CaliSooner. (the other one was just posting porn and I caught him before anyone saw it)

Good lord... all the sudden it's like Joe The Plumber doesn't have a license!! Relax people. Just trying to remind EVERYONE to respect each other. Dissenting viewpoints are welcome... BUT they WILL get shot at, analyzed, and poked apart.

You can say anything you want here, but you have to understand your audience, respect your audience, and respect BGSU. You can criticize, as I think all of us have, just do it with some class and couth.

And as for the "grammar patrol..." lol... as long as I own and run this site, it will continue. :-) It's just how I roll... ;)

And I see your Cuthbert and raise you an Ambrosio!

As I foretold in last week's prediction thread, order will be restored and a calming effect has set in over AZZ.com with the posting of Elisha Cuthbert pics.

My flag is still outside the house.

TG does point out more facets to being an alumni and I have noticed a twin bill of Hockey after the Kent State game that will be attended...if not by 5 of us,... then at least the same two that have flown to Mobile twice and have roaded it up to places like Buff, OU, the MCB, and most recently at the "away" game in Akron.

And Grant, thanks again for maintaining this board.

I've held off on this post for a bit....... age and experience have taught me not to get caught up in the hysteria some people thrive on. I agree with what everyone is saying to your various posts. Do yourself a favor.... change your username and change your tone..... No says you have to be happy about the current state, but calling people out is juvenile..... This is not Columbus... this is BG.

There are similar threads and posst on message boards for other schools. And there was a "FIRE HIM ASAP!" rant going on at one of those sites and a former coach stepped in and I think he has the right attitude. So I am posting his comment here..... Just insert BG for Miami... Hockey or BBall for Football and I think we can begin to take a healthier attitude.
First of all let me state that there is no one on this board who is more disappointed with the current state of the Miami Football Program. Three consecutive blow out losses to UC makes me ill. Consecutive losses to programs like Temple and OU are also extremely hard to swallow. After spending sixteen years of my life helping the likes of Randy Walker and Terry Hoeppner build this program, it is crushing to see where it has gone in the few years since I left. However it is more disturbing to me to see Miami people fall into the obscene practice of calling for coaches jobs on the internet. I find it extremely distasteful. We are better than this. As coaches we all know that our jobs (and our ability to take care of our families) are only as secure as our next victory. The season will play out as it may and decisions regarding the programs future will be made. I just hope that we as Miamians can concern ourselves more with what we can do to help the program rather than calling for people's heads. We all care very deeply about the program. Lets concentrate on being constructive.
Now - I know this coach. I would call him an acquaintance. We have met numerous times over the years through mutual friends. I have the highest regard for him. He and his wife are the nicest people you could meet. He played at Miami and was All-Mac. He bleeds Miami. It was a shock when he left Oxford after 22 plus years being involved with the program. He is now working at the professional level.

To take Coach's comment and transfer to BG..... I would hope that we as Falcons can concern ourselves more with what we can do to help the program rather than calling for people's heads.

Furthermore...... if we all know where you worked and what you did.... would it be fair for us to come here - under an assumed name - and demand your ouster or to call you out for any support you might give to others in your organization.

Roll Along.

I knew you were too good of a Falcon to not come around. :wink: My flag is still out there, too, though my other option is my Browns flag, so I don't think I could win this weekend.

Mines still up too. My options are an Indians or a tattered American flag that I need to replace. So suffice it to say I didn't have an options either. :wink:
