Haters

[mildone]

The problem here is that you project on others your own personal definition of what is considered bad behavior/ethical breach.
Anonymous hyper critical, over the top remarks on a hyper emotional, evocative message board live stream is purely "bad behavior".(or an ethical breach as you label it). That is your & clearly other's opinions. I don't see it as "bad" or "good"or unethical anything...just silly, impulsive, spontaneous, at times immature, & rather innocuous in the end. Who exactly are these dopey game thread remarks (in the name of fandom) objectively damaging ? Why are such remarks so rigidly judged as an ethical breach - minor or otherwise ? Let's talk about the cold pizza my loving wife served me. Now that's an ethical breach to me but not to my relatives in Florida. They love it.
I suppose we can take a poll, but it is probably around 50/50 of those who find game day thread remarks purely" bad" as opposed to an emotional rollercoaster filled with a plethora of both positive & negative remarks often interjected by the same person(s) within a minute or two Ie. bac2therac
PSU coach committed what many thought was a breach when he called out his team publicly.. He did not do this in the name of hate since he clearly loves his players. I guess it worked because they proceeded to win the next few games going away.

You're a bright guy, but your hyperbolic analogy comparing what you personally define as message board related bad behavior/ethical breach (in the name of love or otherwise) is misguided.

Whose personal definitions of bad behavior or ethics should I be using, if not mine? And immaturity, in adults, is pretty widely considered bad behavior.

Also, I referred to the bashing of players as childish or bad behavior. Where I used “ethical breach”, I was discussing murder, or Stalin’s purges, or the entire spectrum of potential bad behavior in general. I don’t think angrily bashing players is particularly unethical. Just classless and childish.

As for me being a bright guy, I believe I’m half an idiot savant. Not sure that qualifies as bright. 🙂

It makes the point that if "caring too much" could be legitimately applied as an excuse for a relatively minor ethical breach, then it ought to be equally applicable to a massively unethical breach. But it clearly is not."

Your words. Not mine. I'm officially confused enough now to throw in the towel.

 

[Knight Shift]

Your comparison is very flawed. Who did I judge? I made a general comment aimed at nobody in defense of our players who were attacked directly which is in fact pathetic. Absolutely no comparison can be made here. If anyone is judging here it is you but I’m okay with it because I’m right here.

I was a team player. If someone takes a cheap shot at one of my teammates I made a mental note and he felt me it later in the game. Someone threw at one of my teammates heads and I was the first guy out of the dugout.

If I hear them saying this crap at games they hear from me directly. Count on that. Ive done it at both venues and nobody said a peep back to me. They knew they were wrong. I don’t judge them. I defend the players.

What is this - I am rubber, you're glue? 🤣 You seem to think every fan should be just like you. A choirboy, never saying a coarse word about any players when they are playing badly. You do you, and let others be themselves.

Your story about you and your teammates is nice, but a flawed comparison. You are a fan now, just like everyone else here. We are all fans here. Just different types.

You've given me crap on the football board for stepping over your "line." And I am probably one of the more supportive, positive fans on the board. But you know what, after last season, which seemed to be a step back, fans can voice their opinions on things they don't like.

Love ya Bugs but I just don’t understand this concept on a fan message board
No players suck and imo no players quit or. Didn’t try…that’s my only no no.
If I think Holy Molly we aren’t scoring 40 tonight, or this going to get ugly boys…. who cares?

That's fine and fair, Zap, it's the "stupid" comments, like "Pike can't coach" and "we don't belong...", or McConnell should be on the bench because he sucks" that I'm talking about.

Inevitably, when we do come back and win, The people that post stupid shit just confirm to everyone else that they are novices. I don't know why people would make comments that can come back and expose them for their stupidity.

I don’t buy these fans who claim they just sit there silently when we’re playing poorly and say nothing. Granted, they may not post it but they are absolutely talking to their buddy, wife, kids, yelling at the TV, etc., about how we’re not playing well, this particular player is struggling, Pike needs to make adjustments, etc.

Sure I say “come on Paul” or “let’s go Caleb”. But I don’t post “these guys suck” or “so n so should be benched”. I’m able to look at their entire career and remember what they’re capable of. I root for them. I don’t disparage the students that are giving their all for my enjoyment.

I was counting my little side bet money last night.
I nice little wager with my older brother Nebraska would beat Michigan State.
I thought I was a lock after 5 minutes of the second half, what a dork I am.
These B1G games are completely unpredictable

Raises hand

It seemed like it would end up closer to 90-25 to be fair

Friggen Mildone is the real problem….it begins and ends with him…😊😉

There's no arguing with that. I'm a total douchebag. 🤣

But I'm a kind and loving total douchebag. So I at least got that going for me.

We haven't had a dork play at the RAC in a long time. In the past there always seemed to be one player per year the student would yell dork at. Maybe the word dork isn't a thing any more
