Alright I know there is a lot of projection and mopery. My point of bringing up my tenure is that I don’t have much of a history of being a **** on the boards. Critical and at times negative? Sure. Guilty. But I want you to walk through the thread and see what I was responding to.I don’t care about tenure. Contribution and impact is more important. There’s better opportunities on here where people shill and slurp or just hate on everything… or more relatedly, if an “insider” were on here bully slurping and ridiculing people for asking a question and not 110% slurping because they don’t have connections. That I get the annoyance and anger at. As you can see from the posts’ screenshots, that didn’t remotely happen here. This was all manufactured hostility.
The central point that the now departed poster was making was that it seemed like we were in it less than reported based on the commitment announcement
In this post, it’s accurately pointed out that we aren’t even mentioned as a destination for himOh nevermind. They just said he's announcing between Lsu, Usc, and a&m.
This re-affirmed and purveyed the same sentiment about being “seriously in it.” This was the post that the poster was responding to.I guess I haven't been paying attention but when did we get kicked out the race? Thought we were seriously in it.
The now departed posted this message, which I read as a rebuke of the sentiment of thinking we were in it more than we were when the options around the selection did not match that. If you look towards the beginning of the commitment announcement, I posted a gif indicating I didn’t think he was coming because the insiders did not give me that assumption. . The revelation that we weren’t even an option during the announcement was not expected given the info we have received, however.Never were in the race, “insiders” tried selling the fan base Miami had a chance
Your own post indicated you felt the same wayI didn’t think we were getting him but I’m a little surprised we weren’t even close.
I’m definitely not a rainbows and butterflies poster, but I think I caught a stray here. If I have crossed the line from critical and mopey to a ****, then that was not my intention. I am generally verbal about my disdain for posters narratives, and comments that unnecessarily gas up the masses and when the hype doesn’t materialize it’s somehow the general fans fault for being upset. I understand there is a thin line you have to moderate but I think you can understand why people are irritated and upset about the way things have unfolded. I don’t think this current environment of high expectations has been created out of nothing.
Anyway - enough energy for me on this. It’s clear the boards are becoming overly negative and that’s now what we want
