Ok so for some reason today I found myself wondering if we have any decent receivers coming soon.

As of now we do. But hey, remember when this staff refused to engage(other than text) a Top 100 National WR from Orlando because we didn’t know if we wanted him? Wonder if he might’ve been a better overall fit than the Whole Foods bag boy walk-on we inexplicably targeted 16 times today because we “had no one else”? Oh, I doubt it.

Still buying that ridiculous story, eh?

I’m just not big on stupidity. Not ok with it in my personal or business life, so why this?

Btw, if you go back to my posts when that happened, I cautioned that we’d end up dismissing kids or not accepting their commitment, and then complain that we don’t have anyone(ala WM 2013). The first question I asked today in the box? Who is this barista #16 and why is he playing?

Our staff moronically confirmed they only texted him.
Jesus Christ, you guys are just unbelievable.

You were one of the few rational fans left in the Gator Nation. With you now no different than MatthewM, there's really no one left.

Sorry if this post makes you leave the board, I know that's the trend these days.

You can ask me to leave, and I may do so. Up to you. Otherwise, I’m good with disagreements. Especially when I’m right and you’re wrong.

And ftr, I’ve never been rational. Have you read any of my more personal posts in the Lounge?

You had to bring up WM.

Now I need a Snickers.

Why would I leave? You brought up the notion.
Over the last year, we've had several members just up and leave the board when I said something insulting to them (comparing you to MattM is quite an insult, one of my worst ever and maybe over the line). They didn't used to be so thin-skinned, but it's a trend now. Two of them PM'ed me to tell me to "please delete my account". :rolleyes3:

Personally I think a lot of die-hard Gator fans have become more casual fans because of perpetual mediocrity. Maybe that's why, they just don't care enough anymore.

That last line says volumes...plus, lots of them have died since we were relevant....and, face it, american football isn't very popular in Asia, so most of the students don't have any reason to care either.

I’m not thin skinned, so that’s no concern. I actually think that’s one of the worst qualities this board could exhibit. Also, btw, the comparison of me to Matt M is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read on this board.

And btw, I’m still right.

Man today really killed any chance of BN for some fans.... @soflagator you're my favorite poster, pretty even keeled usually....if you're this far over BN thats pretty bad and speaks volumes to what Gator nation is feeling right now. I think better days are ahead still, hopefully everyone in the dumps will come back around and give it a chance. Otherwise the next few years on here are going to be miserable.

I’ll be the first to admit that this is a residual impact. But today was complete failure to do your job. Do you know what would make me feel better? If Napier would give up this week’s salary. There are homeless people under 75 who accomplished more this week than he did. The 95 people likely doubled his productivity. Show some balls and win this fan base back.
