I think differences make for good message board discussions but people shouldn't have such thin skin that they can't handle it
if they encounter an opinion that differs, or if they encounter a viewpoint that differs from their favorite journalist.

I don't have a favorite journalist but I agree with the first part of your post??¦

But there are a few people who seem to disagree with all 36,000.

I think those people are now on the "other board."

"few" is the key

"few" is the key

Hard to disagree with the majority of the posts. They are mostly facts on recruiting by other schools, coaching changes etc. So I find the statement that so many disagree with your posts an exaggeration. You are just keeping us informed.

I have heard about some of the coaches' opinions on how they see the team, the returning players, and the freshmen so far in practice. If anyone would like a brief summary, send me a PM.

I'm guessing they still spend time here.

Only a guess?

I Like To Know How Things Were

I like the information, even if negative, about the regime of Coach Ford. It helps me to understand how this regime is different and better. I depend on this forum to learn about what is going on daily and how it compares to the past. It helps put everything happening into perspective. Living 3 hours away makes access to local media kind of difficult.

I am anxious to internalize that we are headed in the right direction. A direction that will make us proud of the Braves again. There has been such a devastating downward spiral. I am glad for the comparison of what is good to what was bad.

I like the content of the forum. It is pretty positive. It is pretty objective. It is fair and accurate.

Keep on keepin on!!!

Rambler (Loyola) Madness was last night
..kinda seems the crowd was pretty small with the students jammed into one corner so as to make it look more crowded

...

You can actually count the fans on one side of the arena on one hand

Manual's Jeff white won the "Shooting Stars Competition" with Milton Doyle winning the dunk contest

Lot more students than Bradley has at any event. Hope that changes.
