Growing Pains: Student Tailgating

[Ragin' Caleb]

conversation is good whether you agree or disagree with her. Indifference is killing our program, not disagreement.

Dr Maggard should proceed forward full speed ahead. Student numbers at the game were all the proof he needs that he did the right thing.

The article that was written has no basis in reality. Frankly, I feel sorry for her.

[CajunJeaux]

Twitter and credible should never be used in the same sentence.

The looks of her "responses"? You mean, her friends? C'mon Jeaux, you're smarter than that.

You can't please everyone, that's correct. So let's attract football fans, and the rest will be welcomed when it's time to join the bandwagon. Oh, and WIN.

Be careful what you say...because the reality is a lot of people discredit message boards, when in fact very good ideas are born right here

I didn't get that from visiting her page. Did she or someone else write something to give you that impression?

When responding to the SGA she said “were your efforts towards all students or a certain demographic?” Basically did you only ask/listen to the white kids? There were a couple other comments like that.

I got a text from Dr. Maggard this morning asking if I had time available on Bird's Eye View today for him to come by.

Why, yes. Yes I do.

I was going to write my own piece but I'll wait until after today's show.

What time do you expect him to come in?

Her original intent (taking liberties here) 'Some (3) didn't have fun' is no big deal. Extrapolating it into some bigger picture is where she went tangent. Common media tactic these days; making more of a situation than what it is.

Jonathan Stove was right (taking liberties here) 'Fun is what YOU make it.'

The guy who goes to the dance and stands in a corner, asks no one to dance and doesn't interreact is correct. 'HE didn't have fun.'

The wall could be right next to the dance floor (tailgating right next to the field) it is up to each individual to make the best of any situation.

She made multiple comments about the "demographic" who was consulted with on this supposed survey and the one who wasn't.

[CajunT]

She used social media to form her opinion...the same platform you preach is where everyone needs to go for information...so now Twitter isn’t credible?...look, I don’t agree with her, but by the looks of responses she is getting, theres obviously a contingent of students who don’t like the situation...again, I don’t agree with here, we/the admin won’t please everyone, so don’t twist this against me, but there is obviously not an interest from the student body as a whole and the issue needs to continue to be addressed to improve the situation

Look very closely and you will find her following on Social Media is mostly her friends, which hardly represents any diverse group of opinions. She had a right to write the article but it is factually inaccurate. She does not have a right to her own truth. That my problem.

[CajunT]

When responding to the SGA she said “were your efforts towards all students or a certain demographic?” Basically did you only ask/listen to the white kids? There were a couple other comments like that.

Which is a failed fallback and weak position when you have no factual argument.

Would be great if he would commit to coming one the show every other week or so.
