You are absolutely right 85 and thank you for making my point as to how hypocritical this board is. nobody other than you found offense with my terminology of the players who left.
and I would guess if certain other posters here used that same description, you wouldn't have raised a finger against those other posters to defend those players would you? it's only when I degrade a player that you get all huffy about it. Why do you hold me to a different standard than anybody else? it's almost as you're stalking my posts waiting to pounce
Should we actually call a player who never played a down and left after one year a Boilermaker as you suggest? Or should we instead refer to them by their true name - a student athlete? that's what they really are, and that's what we should refer them as.
there are a lot of student athletes out there using their athletic skills to try to get an education. and some of those students athletes go to different universities. but you have no problem calling them or their fans names, do you? you've been calling those student athletes names since 1985, and probabl y before, and you have no regrets or remorse, do you? Unless they transfer to purdue.
So let me take my Purdue hat off for a minute and put my USF hat on. if I was from USF and used a different name, and called Hazell's players' losers, you'd probably agree. if I put my IU hat on, you'd call me a troll.
the fact is, you hold double standards for certain posters. and you always love to argue with certain other posters. and yo u always defend the fort against whom you believe to be IU posters. and you love to attack MSU.
the facts are brohm asked and encouraged a lot of players to leave. Why? because he found better players. and some players left for other reasons.
You can keep getting all over my case if you want. But NOBODY else did. and what's that say about this board? They basically agreed with me. They LOVE name calling.
Bigs, I didn't make YOUR point, I pointed out the massive holes in your point.
What's more ... I made MY point.
Even more, I'm not "stalking (your) posts, waiting to pounce", your posts just beg for a facepalm... followed by a slow, (sometimes not so) patient explanation of how off base you are.
I haven't begun to get ... "on (your) case". I point out the obvious, no doubt. Which, I guess, you could take as getting "on (your) case". There are so many more I just look at with a furrowed brow, shake my head, and move on.
And, yes, I have called out other posters for making such disparaging comments about our student athletes. Clearly, you're not paying attention.
What's more, I don't ... "defend the fort" ... or any such stupidity. I certainly do call out the IU losers who just cannot live without the validation of people on the Purdue forum. And, when they claim "IU" in their moniker, I think it's safe to say they're IU fans. (Not sure if that one escaped you or not, but that's a pretty good "tell".)
Now... if you don't like my responses to some of your really odd takes, and if it gets under your skin THAT much, you might want to avoid posting.
Or not. Doesn't matter to me. If you choose to post, (which, I hope you do) stop your d@mn complaining.
For the record, and since you asked, I don't like referring to any student athletes as "losers". I'll leave that to you, no matter what hat you choose to wear (as if it makes a difference).
B*tch about Purdue all you want. If there's merit, fine. If you're just going to trash players and coaches like you've done before, you'll be called on it (whether I call you out alone or not, I don't care).
