Spare me the snarky personal comments. I've ignored all of them til now. Yeah, I think Holtz is a terrible coach (along with Spoon and Sim). There's no denying that. I called Holtz a terrible hire from the first moment it was rumored, and last season provided some strong evidence that I was right. Needless to say, of course I hope I'm wrong about that. However, I think Skip is ultimately responsible for our football program right now, but never have I said it was all Skip's fault.
I'm sorry you don't like what I have to say. That's fine with me. I try to be objective and real with my posts. I'm not gonna stick my head in the sand and act like nothing's wrong when there is. But to insinuate that I am doom and gloom Negative Nancy complainer all the time is hogwash. If you disagree with me, discuss why you believe your opinion is right and min"
e is wrong. Don't resort to petty name calling.
- Who was the biggest supporter of the Mike White hire when others weren't on board with it? I was.
- Who was the biggest supporter of the Tommy McClelland hire when others were displeased? I was.
- Who is probably the biggest Reneau defender on this board? Me.
- Who is about the only poster on here with absolutely no problem with juco recruiting? Me.
- Who never bashed BVDV or Reneau for the bowl fiasco like almost everybody on here did? Me.
- Who led all of the "Tech Trolley" stuff in Dykes last year? Me.
- Who never bashed Dooley or Dykes after they left like so many still do? Me.
- Who didn't hound the admin over the delay of the SEZ project? Me.
- Who has started more positive academic threads on here than anybody else? Me.
- Never do I bash our players. I'd never call our players "garbage" or other posters "douches" or say I "hated" our 2012 team like T1 has recently.
I could go on and on and on with all the positive stuff I post on here (or negative stuff I don't post), but you'd probably just choose to ignore it.
Obviously I like to share my opinions, but most of what I post is objective information that I choose to share with BBB. It's neither positive nor negative. It's your choice if you wanna draw negative conclusions from what I post, but that does not make what I post negative. If you are reading negativity into everything I post, then you have me totally misunderstood. I also think I use decent discretion on what I post on the open board vs. HOF BoaRD.
On the other hand, coaches and especially our admin are fair game to me because they are getting paid. Expressing displeasure about coaching is limited in what it can do, but calling out our admin usually gets their attention to make things better. I believe it's our job as fans to keep our admin accountable because if we don't, then nobody else will. I hold Tech to high standards, and I post what I post because I want what I think is best for Louisiana Tech.
