. . . that was when Ragin PAGIN was fun and not completely filled with the negativity and preach of the suck as we have come to experience here and even in the two successful years Levi Lewis QB our team to unprecedented success . . . this place has become a cesspool of opinions especially of late . . .

The dope that turned RP into a “cesspool” complaining that RP has become a “cesspool” is so 2023 it hurts. Lol

Not one counter to the post I made. Lovely. And you’ve already cried us an ocean with your instigating posts.

We aren’t preaching anything. You’re putting words into our mouths. MAT gave you a full synopsis of what RR has done to help the program. We give to RCAF. We show up to games. There’s even fans that have admitted to us that we have kept them from exiting their support. The question should be what have you done in comparison other than pick petty arguments on RP?

-Fast backward to 1770’s
-There is internet
-Instead of Ragin Pagin, we
have Ragin Patriots
-Lots of American Patriots who love their land but NOT how the institution runs it
-The “institution” is GB
-Two camps:
—Those that say “it ain’t so bad,” “really there is nothing the institution can do…” “suck it up”
—Second camp: “You’re right-it ain’t so bad, BUT we can be so much better and be so much more,” and “Stop pumping sunshine up the institution’s arses and make them change….”
You might be right : nothing good ever comes from complaining about “the institution” - just makes people more apathetic…..
(Sarcasm off)

To be fair, several people previously commented on this and other threads saying to embrace the suck or preach the suck or whatever. That didn’t just come out of nowhere. And Vic’s frequent point on here is that RP users are too negative, rather than giving the university and the coaches a chance to show that they know what they are doing.
The rest of RP’s general point is that Vic is the one who causes negativity because he picks fights on RP. Here’s the problem with that idea: Vic is negative TOWARD RP, whereas RP is negative TOWARD THE UNIVERSITY. If I understand Vic’s point (which is a very big if), it’s one thing to constantly complain about the athletic department (what almost everyone does on here) but it’s an entirely different thing to complain about RP (what Vic does on here).
With that said, I completely disagree with Vic’s idea that RP users somehow cause fans to leave or prevent new fans from hopping on the bandwagon. That’s just stupid. Does it foster more negativity? Sure, and negativity is certainly a problem with UL circles. But it makes absolutely no sense to say that RP has any sort of effect on the fan base.

JAB = Vic
You can't make me believe otherwise.

The university fails in nearly every aspect of what they do.
For each step forward, regardless of how big that step is, they take three steps back.
We reward failure around here. Marlin, can’t get anyone to show up to games. Wins against horrendous competition and loses against solid teams. Makes the dance 2 times in 14 years, gets a lifetime contract.
Des drastically needs to improve the teams mental toughness and fundamentals. If he does that he will win. We haven’t seen it through the first two seasons. He could be a home run hire, right now it doesn’t look that way. I hope he figures it out though.
Keep raising ticket prices and drawing less and less fans. Destroying future fans by destroying student support.
Parking…do I need to say anything else?
Tailgating…used to be great, not so much now.
Game day experience….putrid
