Yeah, I knew something was up!!!!! You guys try to say I'm so negative but if you just looked around a bit, you can pick up on these type of things.
I'm getting word that Bullock is a done deal. Ineligible. My people around that situation are saying that it could possibly be worse. I knew there was a reason the Boss's pet got quiet all of a sudden.
Oldeschool, this combined with Smalley's injury can really hurt those predictions you were making. There's no way this should happen. Bibbs can't hold every girl's hand, but what's her accountability measures around there?

I looked at the box score from last night's game and noticed that Bullock's line score was blank. What's going on here? Anybody that knows anything about how this works knows that she is supposed to be playing by now. What's going on here? man, you take the least amount of information to draw the maximum amount of conclusions. just because bullock's box score row is blank, all of sudden the sky is falling! geesh, i can think of a bunch of scenarios as to why her box score was blank but i'm not gonna jump to conclusions over a box score... For people who know about bball, a funny looking box score is all you need sometimes.

Damn dude, are you seriously waging a holly war against the Lady Aggies basketball program now?
We get it. You don't like A&T. You don't like any A&T athletic teams. You don't think Bibbs is a good coach. You are best friends with Robie Pride and since he is gone you want everything to fall apart.
But really, you've got to step back and realize that you are just sounding like a hater right now.
You are coming off about the same as getuprams, but at least I can respect him because he will tell everybody that he supports WSSU. However, you masquerade as a A&T alum and try to sew seeds of doubts and negativity at every turn.
You don't post anything after a A&T win, but at soon as something bad happens you act like you just won the lottery.
Celebrating because a player is ineligible? Rejoicing that Smalley may be injured? Hoping that A&T will not meet preseason expectations?
I mean, what is your end game? This is an A&T fan site. Do you want try to make it so everyone is not a fan of A&T, like you?
Do you want everyone to stop supporting the program? Do you want us to replace Bibbs with Robie Pride?
What are you trying to accomplish besides spreading negativity?

Only an idiot would celebrate someone's injury. I haven't even made mention of it. That's just you wanting to paint me with a bad brush. 2. Show me where I've celebrated her being ineligible! No smiley faces, no lol's, nothing man! Once again, that's just you wanting to paint me with a black brush. I spoke about how bad we needed Bulluck. Go back to every post going back to last year about how I love her game. You're turning into oldeschool. You see what you want to see. You can't back up anything in that post with evidence in my posts. You're just mad that I was right again and it appears that I know what I'm talking about. Looks like you're the one that's.............................."touchy feely".

I know its not all flowers but dude you are really one of the most negative people I have ever incountered I can be interested without being a "fan"atic. I'm trying to figure out what I said that was so negative. I saw something, said it doesn't look right, and guess what? IT WASN'T! And it was a big "wasn't". So, the problem is not with me, it's about how you feel about the truth being presented to you. Grow up a little.

Yeah, this is getting out of hand. And really it's my fault.
Everyone knows I am one of the most patience people around when it comes to things posted on this site (see getuprams) but if folks are just using this as a platform to bash A&T athletics, annoy other posters and settle personal beefs, then I am gonna need to be a better site administrator.
The bottom line is that is an online community and if one person is doing their best to cause discord, then that person maybe should not deserve to be a member of the community.
Let me think about this.

Discourse? By posting the truth?
Read it again. Nothing negative was said. Wow, you're taking this to another level. I knew you were emotionally vested but this is something.
But it's your show, and if I'm not welcome, then you don't have to kick me off. I'll just leave man. It really, really, isn't that serious. I've said before that you've got a good site here but obviously, I mistakingly thought that bouncing different perspectives around was welcome.

No, this has spiraled into something much more that just different perspectives and posting unpopular information. There is obviously some agenda you have here, whether you want to admit it or not. We all know that, so let's not play dumb.
You have been a longtime member of this site and, in my opinion, a valued member. You have added a lot of good information to this site over the years and have been apart of a lot of good discussions.
However lately you have developed a new persona where you just greet everything about A&T with sarcasm and negativity. You have criticized just about everything and everyone associated with this university. You pick apart nearly every press release that may display A&T in a good light. If A&T signs a player, you look for red flags. If A&T beats somebody by 18, you look for problems in the box score. You belittle other posters on this site for being "fan-atics" as if that is something to be ashamed of. This is, after all, a fan site. It was created to give A&T fans a platform to discuss their school and the various sports programs here. We welcome visitors from all over, but we ask our guests to remember that this is, first and foremost, an A&T fan site.
Of course I am emotionally invested. Look around you. Do you think I, Craig Turner, and the Click would spend so much time and energy creating this beautiful website that you are reading right now if we weren't emotionally invested in this university?
Do you think guys like Decks, Aggie77, Aggie Groove and others would donate so much of their own money to our online fundraisers if they weren't emotionally invested in this university? Even guys like Dooms can be critical of a lot of things, but at the end of the day you know they will give their right arm to see the university flourish.
Basically, most people who post here are emotionally invested ... except you.
Well actually, I think that deep down inside you are emotionally invested. It's just that the emotion most of us have is pride and love for A&T, while the emotion you seem to display for A&T is far too often hate and pain.
I have never met you before, but you seem to be a pretty intelligent guy. Over the past year, you have been one of the most prolific posters on this site, and I viewed that with gratitude. As someone who created a website that people from all over the world feel compelled to visit, I am appreciative.
However, for some reason you became increasingly vindictive and hellbent on proving to everyone that you are totally against A&T. You make negative comment after negative comment and then try to claim that you are misunderstood. It started with Coach Eaves and really mushroomed after Coach Robinson left the women's program for A&T.
Trust me: I have no hard feelings toward Robinson. He may very well be a class act. I don't know him from Adam. But for some reason, you went on the warpath after he left, started making slick remarks against Coach Bibbs and did everything in your power to prove that the program would be nothing without him. Why you came up with that theory, I have no idea.
But trust me, you are not the first person who tried to use this site to settle a personal beef. It's the internet, there is a lot of anonymity involved and folks can pretty much say anything they want without consequence. I have only had to ban two people in the history of this site and one of them was an A&T employee who only used this site to secretly bash his fellow co-workers.
I personally love free speech and want to make this a comfortable environment where folks can talk about A&T athletics. The good and the bad. I have been critical of Eaves at times, but I will also champion his successes,interview him and his players, and work hard to promote his team. Why? Because I want to see A&T succeed. I am emotionally invested in that.
But when everything you create is just designed to downgrade my alma mater, I don't know how I can just stand pat and continue to allow it.
Like I stated before, what are you trying to accomplish here?
That is a question you need to really think about and figure out. The answer will most likely determine your future on this site.

Here's my agenda................................NOTHING!
I am simply stating my opinion about very selective things. If I was against A&T, you'd see me all over this site like getuprams. But you don't see me on the football board. You don't see me on the firing squad asking for people's jobs. I talk about what I know, and I know bball. I know bball people and at T, I know coaches, administrators, study hall people and the list goes on. So I share my opinions.
I hold so much stuff back (like everybody does) in attempt not to shed negative light on people and also because this is not the forum. Some stuff just shouldn't be shared. But you have an issue with me saying a kid is ineligible, or that we played zone all night, or that Eave's style won't win anything. And when things change, I speak up positively. Like Eaves' recruiting this this year! I had nothing bad to say.
What this is Thrilla, is that you guys don't like that a lot of my posts hold substance. I don't know Bibbs personally and don't care to. I have no reason to attack her. I haven't talked to Rob for quite some time so I don't even have anything going there. What I post is one of 2 things.
1. How I feel 2. What I can verify.
I mean, since you' obviously want to ban me, do a little homework first. Go back 2 years ago and see where I was criticizing the lady staff's in-game coaching! This is before she became the messiah. So to suggest I have an agenda is crazy. It's baseless. Sure, you give me Robie pride, I give you teacher's pet. Yeah, I play that game. Yeah, I go back and forth with oldeschool b/c we both think each other is clueless. But outside of that, I'm really not giving you anything. The guys lose, I say don't worry, we'll do very well in the conference. The ladies lose, I say nothing. I mean, I didn't even comment on the debacle last night. Go read the thread. I said nothing. Go look at the other games. I said nothing. So when you say "But when everything you create is just designed to downgrade my alma mater, I don't know how I can just stand pat and continue to allow it".........my response is What the heck are you talking about?
You're saying this now when it can be argued and verified that I went at Eaves 10-15 times harder over the last 2 years. And you've even gotta admit, that I've eased up off of that by like 90%!!!!! Recently, I've hardly posted any negativity unless I was sarcastically responding to someone attacking me. So c'mon man. You've suggested I was gay up here, you've suggested I was a man fan of Rob and I just ignore it and stay on bball issues.
Now I post that Bullock is ineligible and you go berserk. So c'mon man, you can't be serious. So ban me if you want to ban me. Just don't say it's because I have an agenda. You've checked my IP, I don't work there. I'm not banging on coworkers. I'll get banned because my opinions are not in line with others and that's it.

Where have I ever suggested that you were gay? I don't know you and I could care less about your sexual preferences. That is just a bold face lie and it shows that you are desperate to strengthen your argument.
And no one here is upset that you posted that Bullock was ineligible. Actually, I believe it was another poster who first broke the news here. That kind of information is useful on a fan site. I had no idea why she and Alford didn't play in the LLU game, so if that information is indeed accurate, why would I get mad at someone for posting it?
I myself have posted about other players that I learned were ineligible this season, including Quintin Crosby and Eric Houston. What I don't understand is why you feel compelled to imply that Bibbs was responsible for the girl not passing her classes. That again is a example of your pattern of sewing seeds of doubt and discord.
But really, it has gone way beyond that now and I am not really in the mood to continue to go back and forth. You may not realize how you are presenting yourself to other members of the community, but I encourage you to take a step back and rethink your ultimate goal here.
If you call yourself an A&T grad and you don't want A&T to be successful and you don't want to support any of the athletic programs, then why are you on a A&T fan site? That seems to be an oxymoron to me.
If I didn't like civil war history but spent all my time on a civil war history message board just so that I could criticize different aspects of civil war history and belittle civil war history buffs, then sooner or later some members of that message board would wonder what I was doing there. They would probably conclude that I just had an agenda to be disruptive to their online community and that my issues went way past civil war history.
The same thing would happen if you joined the VCU fan site, introduced yourself as a VCU grad and performed your same negativity act against VCU athletics.
Please go back and re-read my prior statement and think long and hard about everything I said. Don't be so quick to reply back just so you can have the last word.
But if you are going to continue to carry on the same way you are now, I don't think this is a site you should be a member of. There are other sites that are probably more suited to your passions and outlook.
