You want reality? You want to take actions that will improve the board? Hear us, do something about it.
Your facilities suck. Yeah, you bled your booster club to afford upgrades like a saloon where there is NO ALCOHOL, and your sports facilities are barely on par with other programs. Hell, your recruiting board is either blank or filled with kids from years ago. Where is your planning for the future? You are still playing catch up, you'll never land those 4* and 5* posters because you settle for low to no talent posters and allow them not only starting positions but let them run most of the high profile plays that others watch and groan. THAT is the face of your program....negators. Folks will claim that is our fanbase, but maybe that's just the people that stay tuned because that's what runs rampant.
You have no special teams. You have two phases to your game, PF and Sports. That's it. And on each side of that ball, you have groups that run 2 plays over and over ad nauseum. A real Head Ball Coach would have benched those that can't be team players, and likely would have kicked some of those pansy ass pumpers off the squad altogether if they can't put some meanness in their game. The PF side of things has a lot of energy, a pretty clear definition of who it is with a few players throwing contrarian comments to keep things 'balanced' :rolleyes: but they are just decoys that nobody takes seriously.
If you want to take this program to the next level, put a bar into the saloon and allow (require?) drinking and posting. That alone will draw more funding, more participation, and more diverse (incoherent rambling) input from a broader spectrum of people. Have bouncers and an ID check if you feel you need to keep up pretenses, but for GODS sake, get us some alcohol. Kick the top 5 posters out of the Sports section. Negator or pumper, doesn't matter - lock them out of practice for a few weeks so they know what it's like to not be the best retard in the romper room; and more importantly let the other voices get heard that are constantly shouted down. CREATE the void from those that dominate with nothing new, and see what fills it. Couldn't be any worse. And when your team captains are let back in, they have to conform or get benched again. Also, issue badges that say "I'm a level xx fan of program yy". You always want people to say what program they are a fan of, and members question one another's allegiance...make it publicly visible and re-instate the 'Gator Fan Level' system from years ago so we can e-dck size against one another more clearly. Lastly, Take the PF and apply language filter - I don't mean to **** out certain words, I mean have whole threads appearing in Russian so we can understand from their perspective how much they actually helped/hurt our political system, and perhaps we can find the right way to work with them to get who we want as President instead of who they think we should have. Make threads about ISIS appear in arabic for similar reasons - help us understand from their perspective, help them feel it is a safer place to spout their anti-Ameicanisms...heck, make threads in Swedish if that makes them feel more at home.
Bottom line, other than getting the site off the ground, you've left it to the inmates to paint the place, bring their own furniture (and piss on it), and generally add walls randomly then create windows and throw bricks through them. You've chosen not to decide, and you still have made a choice (/Rush
). Own it. This multi-personality mess is a reflection of it's creator. Good morning, dad. Koo-koo-ka-choo.
