You just proved my point. Squirming? Giddy like a 13 year old girl when he exited? He agreed with almost 90% of what we said. We kept him on for an hour longer than his original intended allotted time because it was great content. We had other topics to cover and knew the episode would run close to 3 hours which it did. But yet, here we are creating narratives again. There’s no debate or conversations in any of the previous post. Nothing but instigations, picking arguments, and name calling. That’s why no other poster bothers to “debate” because it doesn’t exist without an elementary school insult. That’s not showing love for the university. That’s pettiness and salivating at opportunities to argue.

How do you expect to improve unless you are being critical.
How does a Football team improve if you are not fixing mistakes, same with any sport, same with marching band, cheerleading, life, work, kids, religion. If all I did was not push people we would get no where.
Same with the athletic department, you see it and from my perspective if they do not do something they will lose support.
Look you can see what is taking place, that’s why I chose to start this thread to offer solutions.
Not to bash!

And here we are. Sidetracked as always. Again.

I think I got it:
1. This is no longer a debate forum
2. You are for (a) preach the suck, (b) cancel culture and (c) feelings
3. Any poster who comes here with an opposite view in a thread you participate in is an instigator.
4. In fact, you would go so far as to suggest that posters who challenge you view be placed on ignore.

. . . were your feelings hurt when Dave showed up on the last RR with some balanced pushback . . . was that not fair content by Dave . . . or, are you only for criticism, even when it goes far beyond constructive criticism . . .

Instigating, name calling, and picking petty arguments isn’t debating. It’s elementary school pettiness.

Old man hollering at clouds again.
We have never ever once sought to “create a narrative.” We would not have survived that way. What we have done is reflect what the fanbase was talking about at the time and discussed it on the show. That has been the formula from day 1 and it has worked very well.
You, as Robe said often, are like the majority and think correction is criticism. And your betters send you here, like many others, to attempt to clean up their mess. Transparent as always.
I’ll leave you with this. On two occasions, we went hard in the opposite direction of the fanbase. We implored people to give Bob support going into the 2021 tournament and we explained that Mike Des could actually be one of the most important hires in our history and he deserved our support. On both accounts, we received plenty of blowback. But we stuck to our convictions. I don’t recall you supporting us during those times. No, the only time you show up here is to cause division and seek attention. You hide behind this laughable false sense of virtue. You live in a world where you’re some guiding light of reason.
You’re just a miserable old dude with a weird TSAB complex that gets his jollies off attacking the only real fans we have left.

Lafayette would still be mailing out redlight camera tickets from that Australian company if they had adopted your no discussion stance on what can be improved around Louisiana Athletics.

If you actually engaged in "intellectually honest" debate, you would be a much more enjoyable poster. You don't debate, you argue in its lowest form.

You get upset about backwards caps. How weak are you if that offends you?

. . .it does not offend me . . . I just suggested that it would be a more professional look for the podcast . . . and feelings turned it into a mandatory effect of the show . . . time cures all and now you see no backwards hats . . . until the next show, I'm sure . . .
