Maniscalco out for the season

In fairness, there was none of the silly talk like this when the news about Taylor Brown redshirting was announced.

That must have been a "fluke".

Thats why I have learned to stay away from rival boards...some stoopid stuff gets said. The same I'm sure when they visit our place. ANYBODY that knows ANYTHING about Sam wouldn't be questioning this.....but I understand thats how rivalries are....common sense often gets tossed out and the stupid rises to the top.

Exactly...I know a poster over on the enemy board (who likely may have posted one of the above comments) and he does it simply to get reactions from people on this board who read their crap. That is precisely why I will not comment here about rival board comments and give them that satisfaction

So....they purposely post ignorant comments?

Well...consider the source

Any idea what will done about the scholarship situation if Sam, TB3, and everyone planning on playing shows up next year on the Hilltop?

In fairness, some BU fans invite the hate.

There's a difference between "hate" and ignorance. If they think it's appropriate to appluad the fact that we've now lost two of our best players, that's fine. It wouldn't say much about them personally, but hateful statements are different than ignorant statements.

There may be only a couple people that have any idea and I doubt they would post their thoughts on a message board.

As with Taylor Brown - this is a ****ed shame and I do wish Sam a speedy and complete recovery.

That sucks about Sam. The kid makes the entire Valley better.

Huge loss for Bradley this year. I applaud him for giving it a try. Trust me same thing happens to Tony Lewis or Alex Rubin and we'd be all over the waiver.

We may make comments that you don't like, but no one has said they "applaud" the fact that you've lost your two best players.

As far as my post about "who gets janked?"... I'm pretty sure I learned that phrase from reading this fine message board.

Best of luck to Sam and TB3 on a speedy recovery.

I obviously can not deny that, however, that attitude also comes across as ignorant because it does not take into account as Cubbie Bear said, the possibility of people simply making fun to get a reaction.

Our fan base has a fairly notorious blogger who spouts off stuff irresponsibly and does many of the same things. Which invites snide commentary on rival boards. And you find it occasionally in threads on this forum.

People take this stuff way too seriously.

If you don't want that to happen or you want it to stop, you must represent BU in an upright fashion at all times.

I'm sure nobody has ever picked up just a post or two from this board in the past. Besides, I don't recall saying those were all of the comments. In fact, I said "just a few of the comments".

I also don't recall stating that anyone "applauded" the fact that we've lost two players.

Again.....I don't recall bringing anything up about someone getting "janked".

And I made a joke on rbf about who would get janked if you have 1 more kid than you do scholarships.

Yes.....I said "IF they think it's ok to applaud" that fact, then I'd be ok with that. It was in reference to the difference between "hate" and "ignorance". I did not say isu fans WERE applauding that fact.

Simple miscommunication.

Here's another question: If Sammy returns, what will that mean for DS? A year working with SM could do wonders for a young player, but did DS plan on coming in playing a ton as a true freshman. Seems like a good problem to have if Les can keep everyone happy.
