Classic Jimmy O maneuver! First: BIG Promise. Second: Oh Crap... I shouldn't have shot my mouth off, but it sounded sooo good. Third: Scrounge around in the dark and realize I can't fulfill my promise. Fourth: Avert attention. Fifth: if problem is not yet resolved Make up an elaborate excuse throwing blame on the innocent. :bigcry: Sixth: Repeat steps Four and Five.
Hey it works for your Idol, why not employ the same strategy.

Although I may not share your opinion, it is still your opinion. The biggest problem I have with you is your use of multiple identities. You have even used more than one ID on the same thread. I just wish you would use one identity. I agree that you should not be banned for having an opinion contrary to the majority. If you were previously banned, it may have been because of your use of multiple identities and not because of your opinion.
I really do want to see an AD Q&A whether it is on BB&B or another forum such as latechsports.com. BB&B may not be the best place for the forum.
My preference for an AD Q&A forum would be a quarterly meeting held in the TAC before a sporting event. Reservations could be required and a meal could be prepared for those in attendance paid for by those in attendance. You could limit attendance to CHAMPS members and charge $25 a person for the meal and admission. This would give people with questions the opportunity to directly address Jim Oakes with their questions. I can see where he might require written questions screened by someone.
Many TECH fans I know do not even read BB&B or any internet source but they also have concerns about the direction of TECH athletics. There needs to be some kind of forum that would allow fans to ask questions and get answers. Perhaps one of the local newspapers (Times, News Star, Daily Leader) would be interested in sponsoring an AD Q&A forum once in a while. The reporter or TECH Assistant AD for Media Relations could serve as the question screener to prevent open hostility towards Jim Oakes. The reporter could then report on the meeting for those who were unable to attend.
Would you run something like this by Jim Oakes and/or Adam McGuirt - Director of CHAMPS? I mention Adam because he might see this as a way to increase CHAMPS memberships and as a money making possibility for CHAMPS.
Having other identities IS a reason to get banned. Wake up! The rules apply to you the same way they apply to the rest of us, and they don't change based upon your willingness to accept them. Unfortunately for you and Mr. Oakes, the truth works the same way; it is what it is and you can't change it.
Your poor thing. Don't go out of your way to do us any favors, okay.
Dude, if you're going to have multiple identities, you really have to be able to employ different writing styles. Trust me. You should go ask PRD if you don't believe me.:icon_wink:

Glad to see this is still going on I'd love to see this guy in real life (not a threat... just curious).
I believe T's post sums up what we all expected anyway- we have just now been given confirmation.
You may have just sold a few extra tickets to that game. As for me, I seldom attend Techsters games except at the WAC tournament. I'll get a report from any posters that arrange to meet you.
Going back to the intent of the thread - is there any possibility of you setting up any kind of AD Q&A forum?
Oh, hell yeah. Vette was talking about us coming up this weekend and me hunting on their family property. I think I can convince her for us to leave later Sunday. I'll let you know if we're still coming, and you and I will definitly meet, if you're being honest. This'll be a real treat.
