No. 1 seed in the Midwest

Wolegib, I truly have sympathy for you. Truly. Unfortunately, it isn't for the reason you want.
Hey Wole... Do you remember when you purposely BAITED members of this group. Just so you could then attack their comments. You even admitted that's what you did. Seems you may have gotten off on the wrong foot. I am glad most of your posts are replied to, at least I can see the ones that are the most remarkable ... for whatever reason.
 
I guess you forgot when we played UW this year in the big 10 tournament and also when we played them in the NCAA tournament. It’s hard to beat a good team 3 times in the same year. It’s also hard to beat a good team twice in the same year. If you have any further doubts, just look at Duke verses nc state this year!

There are many other examples I could provide
We did not play UW in the ncaa tournament lol. And I said the BTT is irrelevant. Facts are we played teams better the second time we played them in almost all cases incliding TN and gonzaga in the big dance. There are multiple factors that will affect this but I think the facts speak for themselves.

This. He baits people and so he can attack them even though the only member of this board who actually believes he wins the argument is Bigelow spelled backwards. He brings up his son all the time but if you say anything bad about him he makes it personal. Stop bringing your personal life into this board as a point of attack and no one will attack your personal life.
 
I knew you would go there ! Or perhaps it would be doo dah day!

There is always somebody here who just loves to send personal attacks at me whether I posted anything in a thread or not!

Yup. Just open a thread and there is a personal attack.

The problem is this board is not anonymous! I’ve had personal attacks against me on this board that revealed my real name, shared my Facebook information and even my personal pictures. They made it personal. And for their efforts, they were applauded and encouraged by others to keep it coming.

There are more harassing insults about my son from people on this board than posts from me praising him. I would post more about his accomplishments but I fear people like you would go to his real job and harass him much like he was harassed in high school when he couldn’t bring our school the state championship they wanted! Do you realize how emotionally hard it is to give 100% And having your own fans boo you because you fell short and didn’t win? Do you realize how much pressure and pain a player goes through when they miss a critical free throw? Or how much despair they go through when they lose a game. When someone heaves up a game winning 60 foot shot.

Many of you are quick to criticize others and bad mouth other fans! But you hate it when other fans bad mouth you or call you out for doing so!

There is a reason my son did not play basketball or football for Purdue. That reason is personal. He’s now a coach where everyday he has some fan berating him and wants him fired because his athletes didn’t bring home a championship! Being a coach Is a very tough job. It’s not steady employment. My son has had three jobs at different schools. in 3 years! Why? Not because he was fired. But rather because he was successful.

However, no matter how successful a person is, there is always someone on the internet who knows who you are and loves to hide behind the anonymous mask the internet provides you.

I once lived in a small town of Carterville, Illinois. That’s the same town Coach Herrin lived in and also Coach Painter lived in when they coached at SIU. That’s also the same town SIBoiler lives in. I attended all of my son’s high school basketball games. I sat in the front row! I heard the boos when he missed and the team lost. It’s funny as a parent you rarely hear the cheers. So, SIBoiler, did you ever cheer my son? Or were you one of the many who was never satisfied with his efforts? I’m sorry my son didn’t deliver that state championship. But as a parent, I know him many physical injuries he suffered . I don’t know how many emotional ones he suffered. He kept those injuries inside!

It’s amazing after being put down so many times for so many reasons by so many anonymous people. That my son still chose the coaching profession. He doesn’t talk very much about his athletes success or failures! One of his athletes is currently having academic issues which is affecting their performance! Who gets the blame? The professor? The athlete? Or the coach?

We celebrate Painter’s success today. But what about the Tennessee coach? He also gave it his 100%. What if he were your son?
There are probably support groups for this. Seriously. I'm not sure what your son's troubles in life, serious or not, have to do with anonymous people belittling YOU on a public message board.

If you have such a problem with how people treat you here, why don't you just remove yourself from the issue? The more you go on ad nauseum like you just did here, which was 100% unnecessary and irrelevant, the more you bring shit upon yourself. If you don't see that, I can't help you. I have a son who has certain issues too, but you don't see me looking for sympathy or bringing him into conversations that have nothing to do with him do you?
