Title: Getting old fast...
Post by: JR4AU on March 09, 2011, 08:57:42 AM
Getting real tired of CFB fans having devolved to chearing on every scandal of another school...referring to every little or big NCAA violation as "cheating" (as if free tats helped tOSU on the field), and the general sentiment that everybody want their rival or some hated program "taken down".  Its not good for anybody in the game, and trust me everybody's team has their issues.

It is sad.

But then again, one has to ask, "When is enough, enough?"

It's all fun and games when everyone is cheating and your team is experiencing success. 

But what if your team is experiencing success and then suddenly someone new comes around and steals your success?  What if a kid named Jerrell loves Auburn but his mother wants to know what else Auburn can do besides "just" give him a scholarship?  And what if that kid named Jerrell goes to the new guy in town and Auburn burns to the ground because they can't keep up with the extras? 

It's not that I think we should just allow cheating and get over cheering on NCAA investigations.  It's just that I think the NCAA should seriously hammer violators even for small infractions.  I have my own ideas how they can do this, but those guys get paid lots of money to ensure fairness in college sports.

Buying players is cheating.  Paying them is cheating.  Im just sick of the damn mentality of cheering for others getting nailed.  If a school, ANY school is buying players, the should be nailed, but I won't cheer it on.  Beyond that, it is mostly bullshit "violations" that you could find on any campus.

Maybe they do. I really don't care. Not my problem, and I don't align myself with those who act that way.

Have you ever worn a Bama cap, t-shirt or sweatshirt?  Do you have a sticker on your car that says S the coach or 13? 

Yeah.  You're aligned.

This part is true.  The players received no competitive advantage.  But Tressel did get a competitive advantage by playing players that the NCAA would consider ineligible.

Taken from MGoBlog.  Enough is enough, really it is. 

Quote
Charles Robinson, one of the investigative reporters for Yahoo! Sports, was just interviewed on the Waddle and Silvie show on ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago.  He stated that there are two additional high-profile stories he is working on, one which will break within the next few weeks and another that looks like it will break in August.  Mr. Robinson was prodded fairly hard by Tom Waddle, but would not divulge any individual or institutional names.  He was asked to rate the Tressel story on a scale of 1-10 scale, and gave it an 8.  Mr. Robinson rated the story to be broken this month as a 6-7, and gave the late-summer story a 10-rating, without hesitation.

Exactly.  The only reason he wouldn't is that he has nothing or he is still investigating, in that case he needs to keep his mouth shut until he has all his facts and info gathered up.

Every black person is a criminal because some are. Every white person is racist because some are. Anybody who reads the Koran is a terrorist. Every AU fan supports child predators because some sex offenders are AU fans.

You don't understand the word "aligned" nor do you understand majority. 

Simple question.  You're getting on a plane heading out of Boston.  There's a guy sitting in the waiting area wearing that little muslim hat and the muslim robes.  He's reading the Koran. 

How comfortable are you getting on the plane? 

Yeah.  I thought so. 

Until proven otherwise?  You're all Updykes.

I would imagine in the scenario given, the guy would probably be the least threatening. I'm not going to judge somebody I don't know because of their religious beliefs. It's the same shit, different day with you. You have to have a neat label for everybody, because you are a hateful person by nature. You can't recognize differences in people, because it becomes too problematic for you. You're right, everybody else is wrong, and they're too stupid to see their error. When you have met one variety of person, you convince yourself that person represents everybody, and you bury your head in the sand when presented with a variable to that. Because you have already decided what is what, and that's the way it is.

In reality, at this point, you're more aligned with those you oppose than I am, and you cant even realize it. Exact same mindset.

No.  Not everybody is wrong.  Those who agree with me are right. 

I lived for many years in an area very close to Tuscaloosa.  I know you don't know where that is, but I can draw you a map.  The school football team you support has a stadium there.   During those years I met many, many fans.  There were a few who knew how to keep it between the lines. 

Those few are still my friends.  The rest?  Updykes. 

For every one person who understood appropriate boundaries there were 13,000 complete assholes who taunted when things were going well, pouted like bitches when they were not and pissed and moaned about "barners" despite the fact that I never said shit to them and nor did anybody else I know.   They pissed and moaned because I had the audacity to have AU stuff in my office and wear AU gear occasionally.  Your fanbase is the most insecure pack of drizzling fucks I've ever seen in my life.  You spend your entire life looking over your shoulder trembling in fear that Auburn might be catching you.  Unfortunately you're looking in the wrong direction.  We're in front of your ignorant asses laughing at you. 

Fuck the whole lot of you.  I know what you are.  Sure you could prove otherwise but as far as i'm concerned?  Guilty until proven innocent on this issue.

Bottom line, you're fucked up in the head when it comes to judgement. You need something to be pissed off about to feel satisfied in life. You need people to take that out on, so its just easier to lump everybody together so then you don't have to worry about picking the right or wrong ones out of a crowd. Again, your mindset is just like those you described above.

Bottom line: while his percentages might be exagerated...a bit, the premise is true.  Fact is your fan base is represented in the media by the likes of Scott Moore, and Shane from Centerpoint.  That's the group you've chosen to align yourself with...just because...whether you are one of the bad, or not...you are aligned with then.
