Only complete mental midgets like Vander Blue get upset about what fans have to say about them.

At least our mental midget didn't go into hiding every March and bow out early in the NCAA Tournament.

Oops.

I do not know if negative comments on this board has caused MU to lose any recruits, but I never understood why there is so much negativism towards recruits or our current players.

Great!

Did you also bet that this particular comment would lead to somebody calling you a douchebag?

If so, congratulations!

Maybe it doesn't enter your mind that this very type of reaction turns off recruits parents.  I know it's hard to believe and this happens all the time on this board, but hey, it's all about freedom of speech.

Words absolutely have consequences. Even the ramblings of the self important on message boards.

Could we lose recruits over it? Yes.

Does this happen often? No.

Where I actually see more damage is on the pysche of current players. At TAMU, we attempt to keep the players off the boards but they read them. And it gets in their head. TAMU football fans make Scoopers look like kittens. Players get upset, they take offense, and I have seen it lead to players copping attitudes or even leaving the institution.

I have no problem with what is said here, provided one rule is followed. If you would say it to a person's face in real life, than post it. If you wouldn't have the cajones to say it in person, don't say it on the internet. It's cowardly, IMHO.

"Negative" posting is absolutely acceptable. But there is a huge difference between "Derrick is a poor shooter," "Derrick makes the game 4 on 5," "Derrick struggles with the entry pass" and "Derrick sucks," "Derrick wouldn't start for a division 2 team," and "Derrick is the worst player in the history of Marquette basketball."

Hyperbole is not your friend.

And yes, I would say all of this to someone in person ;D

Don't want this to turn into Dodds Gestapo Board. Got banned umpteen years ago for stating, "who the hell is IWB." Guess I was slightly ahead of the curve, aina?

It's the first merit badge earned by most true MU fans.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
