Champ,
While I've let you go relatively easy for your (what I consider at times to be) blind support of Long, let's go back to the first post and tell me how by responding to someone who was denigrating the Techster program and suggesting that I should not care about it because it is only women's basketball is "asking for it."
If you mean because I referred to "ball-less" red dotters, then hell yeah, I asked for it. Red dots are no big deal. The big deal is when someone makes a very bold statement but then they are afraid to back it up by admitting who they are. The ORIGINAL intent of this post was about how important this "women's basketball" program has been to Tech, and how shortsighted it is for someone to make light of it due to the gender of the players. Unfortunately, it quickly turned into how I was somehow trying to make the Techster program more important than the others. That is complete b/s. Read what I said, and encourage your buds on here to read what I said, not read INTO what I said.
So as far as "asking for it" goes, I keep forgetting that I need to include emoticons in my messages for those who are unable to decipher sarcasm.
And now, taking your advice, I won't post on this topic again.
Here's hoping this thread goes away, and that Long goes with it.
While driving home from work yesterday, I was tuned into 560am and the hosts were having a trivia contest. The question was "who is the coach of the Rutgers WBB team?" The answer was wrong and the host commented "Who cares? Its women's basketball".
During the rest of the drive home, I was waiting for the angry backlash from someone like fff. But there was none.
OHHHHH Well, if no one called in on 560am then WHY THE HECK ARE WE POSTING??? Throw it under the bus. Doesn't matter that other places are packing their gyms and have a following. Doesn't matter that Tech has one of the strongest traditions in the country with this program. None of it matters, because no one called in on 560am and knew the name of Vivian Stringer.
This is a HUGE relief. We don't have to worry about any of this anymore.
I will repeat: If you don't care about WBB, then don't post over here.
If they don't care then why are they posting it? I think they are simply trying to antagonize champ. I may not agree with your optimism, champ, but I'm with you on this.
