In your head you probably think you are a rebel standing up for LSU.
In reality you're are just a huge douche and probably should have been banned .

I'll go on record and say that for a long time I've really liked Rob's takes on most topics...specifically things we tend to agree with when I was still posting on the PoliBoard with regularity. I've always found him to be reasonable and someone with whom I tend to agree and respect the way in which he makes his points.

That being said, I think he's gone off the fricking reservation with his takes on Miles and the current "state" of the program. I don't find the same reasoned arguments being made in favor of his position here that I've seen on other topics on the other boards. Here it's mostly raw emotion, which does not serve his argument well.

While I'd argue (and have in the open) that admins ought to be handing out bannings left and fricking right for posters who seem hellbent on turning this forum into a damn shite show, I don't agree that Rob is one of them...yet. I just think he's wrong...he's not trolling the board.

ETA:

With this take, however, I agree completely.

I really think the fundamental problem is that there really is no excuse for COMPLETE ineptitude in the passing game at a school like LSU,

And you know...that's the thing. Those of us who get railed for being positive about the program do not blindly follow either the program or the staff. None of us think the program is without fault and neither are the coaches, included the head man.

But...and it's a REALLY big but, it's become almost IMPOSSIBLE to have a reasoned discussion about what constitutes actual issues on this forum, because far too often people who are clearly mental are running around making wild-arse claims that paint the program as run into the ground and being run by a lunatic. Frankly, I have no interest in wading through all of that to find the occasional valid criticism to discuss.

So...I'm left "blindly" defending the status quo because I won;t engage in every ridiculous argument. When the day comes that the riff raff are shown the door and adults can have honest discussions about the program we all proclaim to love, then I think we'll all be better served. I'm not including you, Rob, in this group btw...
