Plenty do identify me as one. I'm sure I am from time to time when discussing past mistakes. I try to be fair, but am pretty opinionated like everyone else.

Ree has been getting more upvotes recently. That has to really piss the the idiots you are referring to off. I expect an increase in the frequency and intensity of their posts for the next few weeks.

How petty are you, exactly? Jesus.

Well, I don't. You seem pretty objective to me. Your being identified with the O hater crowd is probably more a result of them egging on your critical posts.

Talking about petty? People downvote a poster because he is too positive, even when he simply posts an article.

I'm not surprised my posts rustled you, though. You are responding in the exact manner I described.

O gets made fun of daily on ESPNU radio. Now this Taylor story makes him look like a coach who lost control. Hopefully he wins some games cuz it’s embarrassing.

I don't see it like that at all personally. Players do stupid shite at every school, every year. The coaches can't hold their hands when they're 3 or 4 states away.

“People down vote”

The down voting is probably due to fatigue over a lot of pro Coach O hype with little results to back up all the pro hype. Canada was the greatest OC ever and within 5 games he was the some kinda devil. Coach O had learned his lesson after Old Miss and wasn’t going to interfere with the O. Only to be obviously interfering with in the first 5 games.

It’s kinda like, fool me once shame on you but fool me twice, shame on me.

All of this will work itself out soon. imo

I get what you're saying, but Miles was a bit different in that he started out at LSU with a conference championship, followed up closely by a national championship. He lingered around longer than necessary though, no doubt about it.

I assume you're talking about Ree. I think people downvote him because he's a raging douche bag, not because he's "positive". But I guess I can't really speak for them.

What? You're the one obsessing over upvotes and downvotes and I'm the one who is "rustled"? K

Sure. But my point is his warts showed 8 years before he was even fired. People defended the indefensible his whole career here

Because he actually accomplished things and got some skins on the wall. Les overstayed his welcome but let's not act like he didn't deserve a measure of cushion or goodwill.

I was never a fan, but his winning percentage was undeniable and I just gave in until I was finally done after 2015.

This has been the dumbest offseason I can remember on here.

Anti-Os: "Orgeron and Alleva are driving this program into the ground."

Pro-Os: "You people are miserable! Cheer for someone else! Eaux is doing great things to build us into winners!"

Summer progresses...

Anti-Os: "You know, we've made some nice roster moves. Defense should be great. Offense has a lot of potential. We have the talent to win 10 games."

Pro-Os: "Whoa, whoa, calm down! Have you seen the schedule?!"


I personally have loved the fact that since January, we have heard about all the amazing things that O has done, yet if he finishes with a worse record than last year its ok because winning isnt really that important if you can just OPEN YOUR EYES and see the improvement happening right before you.

Please tell me you don't expect everyone to grasp this simple concept.

More like trust based on past performance. And when that trust was shown to have been given in error, he was fired.

But hey, you like your boy O's "process". Based on what, I'm not quite sure, but you seem sold.

Says the guy firmly backing the coach with no results.

Priceless.

Wait, what? Who said anything about process? I'm saying that his past results earned him a measure of goodwill and opportunity to get things back on track. He blew that opportunity and was rightly fired.

easy to say when you gush over a coach with no results at all.
