Way to go Fellas, cheers!
I give Bigdog credit. He has calmed and is trying in a much more civilized manner to get his point accross.
Again, and Rightupinthere's last post hit on it, there is not too much people on this board can do. Some of us are 'influential' boosters and supporters but as far as I know no single person can influence a hiring/firing decision. Heck, I'd be surprised if a band of people on here could do that.
What we are is diehard fans. Starting abrasive talk witout backing it up with specifics and bashing an institution, BG Hockey, we have all grown to love is not a good way to make friends or convert fans to be sympathetic to your cause. Again, I commend Bigdog for realizing most of this and becomming an asset to his cause and these boards.
Fellas, I know it is frustrating and you feel like you need to clear the air and post with that chip on your shoulder. I was a DIII athlete which is a step above intramurals, I know, but I went through a coaching change following my sophomore year and never got along with the new coach. It sucks. They play favorites, you feel like you were short changed.
Just know that people do listen to your statements but it would be more constructive to leave the "Me Against The (Pooch) World" attitude at home and bring your thoughts on specific items and perhaps things will change. You have all pointed out that many people are smitten with Paluch because he played here and they went to school with him, so understand that you have an uphill battle to begin with.
This thread is what is wrong and annoying with message boards. I never thought AZZ.com would become like this, but it has and that is sad.
The kid wouldn't know respect if it jumped up and bit him you know where. BGFan, I think he must have had us confused or combined or whatever. I didn't mention his writing skills but I did ask that he re-read each of his posts calmly instead of posting the first thing that pops into his head and to consider how his posts might be taken by those who are reading it. I tried reasoning but obviously this doesn't work either. Oh well. Many people here have repeated over and over and over (you get the idea) that these guys go to the AD or others in power with facts. Either there are no facts or they just want someone else to do their dirty work for them. RUIT was dead on with his suggested "letter" to the AD. That's about all any of us here could write or say.
