Title: Anyone else noticed that...
Post by: 🏀 on March 15, 2014, 12:33:19 PM
The new posters and negative posters generated during this disappointing season, there is a sharp increase in the use of Warrior in the screen names?

Haven't noticed. But the warrior name for MU should be re-instated.

Cue up the postings such as: "will never happen" and various PC comments that it is racist, or discriminatory, or demeaning.

Yes now that you mention it.  hmmmm, maybe Willie is branching out, also interesting that he replied 10 minutes after you mentioned it.

I was more looking at the older alumni.

I recently read an article about the surge of 50+ age group online presence, particularly in social media and online forums. The author further dove into the particular use of these vehicles for complaining, negativity and attacks on subject matters that they wouldn't normally express in the real world.

The Willie conspiracy theory is more fun.

I do find it interesting the number of old farts that post here and obsess and bitch about relatively meaningless crap. But then again who else would have time to continually post other than obsessed nerds or old farts. 

Some old guys are entertaining, what would this board be like with out the Keefes or 4evers of the world.

Let's keep it clean here, Keefe. We need more skimpy pictures of Israeli chicks--like a full frontal of Natalie--not just a lame tease.

And I like how somebody here implied that we 50 plussers are starting to use the social media recently. I have been using the telephone and phonebook for plenty of years, already.

Somebody should take a survey: How long ago has it been since you wrote a letter for the mail?

Your age discrimination is getting in the way. You have no idea of the age of most of the posters here.

You know what I find really dumb is the number of posters here that follow tweets and instagrams of potential recruits. Pretty lame. Now what age bracket do you think those guys fall into?

Yes agree, lame.  

Its not that hard to figure out approximate ages of the posters by what they post. Not all, but over time, most.  I happen to be over 50 so no discrimination from me. I don't really care what anyone's age is in relation to what they post.

Warrior?  Yes.
50+  A few years to go, and getting there gracefully.
Negative?  I don't think so - excluding a few well deserved rants about our PG situation

I think 50+ers may be just getting caught up with what the other "age brackets" have been doing for years now.

I'm not even halfway to 50  ;D

I prefer the moniker Warrior over Golden Eagle any day. But I chose to be TAMU Eagle instead of TAMU Warrior because I was a Golden Eagle. I didn't know how the...how did hairy put it?....old farts would react to a young whipersnapper using the mascot of the Golden years when I lived in just the Golden Eagle years.

As for the whole age thing. I joined because I miss my university and talking Marquette basketball. Not even just Marquette basketball, but college basketball in general. It's selection Sunday and all these f**king farmers can talk about is if the Texans will draft Johnny Football.

Well I'm well past 50. I joined here in 2006 so I don't think I have added to the number of warriors on this board. I don't think that the increase in complaints and negativity have anything to do with warriors or golden eagles; just a very disappointing season. As to folks over 50 complaining and being more negative all I have to say is here in Jersey we had a prominent case of an 18 year old suing her parents forcing them to pay for her college simply because she did not want to follow her parents rules while living under their roof. Talk about an entitled generation.

Don't have an exact figure but it was enough to make the upper management pause and consider turning it down. We took it because...well...our basketball program really needs something to hang their hat on since Turgeon left.

Getting DOS to run on an Apple IIC is actually a very impressive technological achievement.
