Let me just say this, - be very, very careful what opinions you make based on anything posted on a fan site message board. This can go many different way. Most of us have no idea who each other is in person. Keep that in mind. I've been on here for years and recognize many who have been as well. But we have come across situations like this before.

IF, and I want to be very clear with the word "if"....if this is what's actually happening (a parent coming on here posting this), I think it's beyond shitty. For a parent to come on to a frickin' fan message board and start stirring crap with things that are shared and confided in with a TEAM - in a closed locker room environment - it's pathetic. That act and motive in itself is a cancer to any team. And remember what the "filter" is in this chain of info. Likely a disgruntled son who isn't playing, isn't playing much, or is deep on a depth chart. This speaks volumes about what type of family you are dealing with concerning the parent and son - if true.

The bottom line is no one must stay on the team. Guys leave all the time nationally. If a player is unhappy, then he can leave. If a player doesn't like the coach, then don't play for him. If he doesn't like the school, go attend another. But it's pretty disgusting to hide behind a keyboard and spread bias opinions and news in this context. There are two sides to every story, and if this is true, we are certainly hearing one bias side of it and not the other, which could completely sway one's opinion. Just remember, none of us on here were in that locker room to hear whatever alleged words or messages were shared in that locker room with the team and players. Remember that before jumping to any conclusions.
You have little room to talk...You are the biggest doom and gloomer when people leave...you make Eeyore look like Tony Robbins. That said...much of what has been said on here seems to have the ring of truth. We have OL in the portal already...guys with some time in the program and/or experience. I see the failure of the OL to be a coaching issue as much as a player issue. One of thm is a true freshman. The others have had time to build strength. The gains you see early on are usaully the biggest gains you'll see when starting on a strength training program. Why are those guys still so weak?

Seen a lot of coaches come through this school ..some were great...others not o much. I've seen enough to know this guy isn't one of the greats
I may be doom and gloom about things on here, that’s a fair statement, just as you often take an a-hole approach when disagreeing with someone by throwing your weight around to edge a point. But that’s me being me and you being you, and the bottom line is, we at least care about BG or we wouldn’t be saying anything at all, even if we disagree in the process.

But that’s not the point here whatsoever. The comment had to do with this board. It’s a message board where us fans come here to celebrate, vent, discuss, agree, disagree, etc. I actually find it beneficial to see differing opinions at times, even if I disagree. It’s how you keep an open mind to things. But that’s just it, we share and express a lot of thoughts opinions - good or bad. But that’s not the crux of the topic is here. I find it beyond shitty to see what seems to be transpiring on here with this current topic. It’s beyond bush league and is a cancerous tactic. It’s one thing as a fan/alum/parent to come on here and vent. I get it, we all do it. But it’s a completely different tactic to relay filtered context from a disgruntled party one here like this. That’s not venting or complaining, that’s a deliberate toxic tactic.
GO BG!!!

Stage 4 of a terrible coach. Telling people where they should post about said terrible coach.

I'm surprised that there isn't a Facebook group for it.

I'm tired of every thread on here being full of grievances from the same few people. Little discussion of value any longer. It's disappointing.

The coach BGSU could have had Jim McElwain is leading 28-10 in the 2nd quarter. He is a missed fg vs Northern from a 2nd division title in 3 years.

We've often had a parent or two on this board. IIRC Corey Partridge's dad was fairly vocal about Brandon...as was Sean Ellis dad (what a character that guy was). I welcome that perspective. I think we're kinda at the point with this mess that any idiot can see how bad things are. People discussing that on here isn't going to make things worse
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.
