I can't understand why some on here get so angry about differing opinions. We are not a collection of robots. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and everyone is entitled to agree or disagree. We should be able to do that without name calling or getting ugly with each other. After a season where our Mean Green produced at a level few believed possible, we should be able to have constructive conversations about the direction our program is headed, or at least ignore the opinions we don't embrace. It tiring watching thread after thread get locked. Instead of arguing about a football season that has ended, lets focus on basketball. Both our Men's and Women's teams are doing well. Can't we all focus on supporting them?

I think more moderation is the solution.  There are a few users that regularly go beyond a "difference of opinion" and start trolling other users.  These users are regularly exposed for their unrealistic expectations and lack of fandom.  This is the kind of thing that drives off other users.  I think the board would be better off with more 7-day bans.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      It's not as easy as it was to be invited to the top anymore. Everyone wants to be up at the top, so universities throw money at their programs hoping it happens. In the 80's if you threw money at your program then you had a real shot. Now, it's all based on brand recognition and perception. Though what you are saying has a lot of credence to it, but I think the downfall of the university's athletics started when the university started to push the "university for all" bullshit. And though I think that's a slogan that's not that dated, that's not what I am referencing. I am more so referring to when the push was artsy and music students, and then this liberal inclusion bullshit. Sport people USUALLY don't share those beliefs and/or interests. And when you're making a gigantic bulk of your enrollment that, well, our student and alum involvement turns out to be the result. The drop down certainly did alienate a large % of fans in that window of time, but in the 21st century our problem is what and who we're catering to.

      Kenyon Martin, Bryan Adams, had a really nice NBA career.

      SWAC leading rebounder Brian Myles to announce where he's going

      There are a ton of players still in the portal. It sucks, but we have to be patient and see how things play out. Let the big money NIL's grab up who they want and there will be a lot of really good players looking for a place to land.

      Head coach, not anymore

      Deion here for a good time, not a long time. He may bounce after this year.

      Head coach, not anymore

      I already know about him. Deion was on him all year for his lack of work ethic. EDIT: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/from-colorado-to-transfer-portal-is-there-a-path-of-redemption-for-cormani-mcclain/
