Norm Peterson Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 After living through the absurd amount of bitching on this and other boards for the last couple of years of the Doc Sadler era, I was expecting a coaching change would shut some people up. But after reading through some of the comments on the game thread today, I've reached a painful conclusion: Some people have their bitch boxes stuck in the "on" position. They apparently feel themselves entitled to a winning conference record, near-perfect execution at all times, players whose facial expressions never betray frustration, and free Runzas after every game. I'm sorry, but I thought the coaching change would shut some of you Debras up. Sadly, I appear to have been wrong. Sorry for those who might be offended. (Actually, tough crap -- I've had to endure your garbage these last several years so now you can endure some of mine. Or just not read this.)

Norm Peterson Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 ..and to top it off, we are in the game!!! Oh, no we aren't. We've lost it already. Down 2 with about 4 to play. What are you talking about with this "in the game" stuff? Bugeaters1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hskr4life Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 One thing that irks me is how when the other team goes on a run.... we're done... game over... pack it in. When we lose a few games... season over... pack it in. Noah121, Bugeaters1, BLB115 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hskr4life Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 The only good thing about the season being over is the fact that I don't have to read the negativity in a game thread for 8 months. The bad thing is now I have to read all the negative threads that are going to be started for the next 8 months.

Norm Peterson Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Wait we are the best fans in the countr... When the win. I have never believed that malcontents on message boards are somehow representative of our entire fanbase. And thank goodness for that.

hal9000 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I don't include in game threads as an exemplar of the true negative nancys out there. There are lots of good fans who make comments during the game in the heat moment that are negative. Those comments get a pass from me. Maybe you just shouldn't read the in-game threads.

Get out of here now!I will say that I feel that the board has changed some this year, but much like the basketball season next year will be better. And we still have the women to worry about, because we know they are going to get screwed with their seeding. Bugeaters1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree in a sense... There are some good fans who get caught up in the moment and post some negative things. There are also those who post negative things in EVERY SINGLE GAME THREAD. There are also ones who post negative things EVERY TIME WE ARE LOSING OR LOSE. Those are the ones who Norm is mostly talking about. The "seasons over" comments halfway through Big 10 play... the Miles is a terrible coach here and there... the bashing of players with little support... I could go on and on. It gets old... and all it does is bring the board down. Yeah some call themselves "realists" but give me a "fakest optimist" over a "realist pessimist" any day of the week.

Nighthawk Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 It was still a fun season no matter how you shake it. I got to spend time with my dad, who just turned 73, at the games. Yeah losses can be disappointing, but they are a part of the game. Red Rum, Bugeaters1, Silverbacked1 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad thing is now I have to read all the negative threads that are going to be started for the next 8 months. You don't have to read them Kinda hard not to. It's not like it's a thread clearly about Creighton that you could just choose not to read after looking at the thread title. In the game thread, you'd have to read the post before you can decide not to read it. And that's not really possible, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
