I can assure you this is not the case......I have subs to other sites and it's nowhere near this way...Of course there is some bickering back and forth. I have to honestly say that most of the peeps on the other boards do show a lot more respect to others than what you find here. They don't have peeps running GIFs on everyone either. I enjoy a lot of the gifs until they are used to down someone in place of typed words...JMO

I am so glad my life is more than a sports message board. More than sports. More than caring what strangers on an internet think or don't think.
Ketch, just for the record, I still love this place and the jerks that post on it. Even the ones I've blocked. Even the attempted trolls. It's just for fun for me and it should be for everyone on here.

1/16 3:22 AM[/B]Taylor, I've watched you a number of times of TV and I believe you have the right idea with your cleavage. Every person has to have a hook or they're soon forgotten. Use it or lose it. However, you get on camera and cover it up with your beautiful hair. You set your hook up, then cover it up. That hook is what made Dolly Parton and others famous. Others in your profession use that same method to their advantage. Erin comes to mind. Do not hesitate to do so or you will lose out on opportunities. It's still a man's world out there and they will say, well, Taylor is not afraid to get in front of the camera with her boobs showing so she's got the balls to get a job done. Pardon the pun! TAke it from someone who listened to men in boardrooms who made decisions based on that. If a woman was not afraid to talk and not afraid to use her female assets, that's what the bigwigs look for. Trust me. I heard it all the time. I know it sounds bad but Erin and all the others have done whatever it took to get to wherever they are; don't think for a moment they haven't. A woman in a man's world still has to do whatever she has to do. It sounds bad and you and Erin and everyone else can deny whatever anyone says you did but if you turn someone down you've turned down your opportunity. By the way, I have no dog in this fight. I'm retired. I just think highy of you and want you to succeed. Anyone who tells you I'm feeding you a line of bullshit is feeding you a line of bullshit. You be sweet as you are and don't sweat the other things. In the long run they fade away. Don't get mad at me for telling you this. I only mean good for you.

Could we subdivide the blog
by content before or after posting like
We do the corral
Political - the corral
High school recruitment - another new blog
Anything on Mac or Deloss - Another new blog
Basketball and volleyball - new blog
Baseball and golf and track- new blogs
It would make the board more accessible for those with particular needs and let the 'Mac and Deloss have there own area
It can be done but might take one additionally staff
Ok to criticize, but no reason to bring down the whole program base on 1 or 2 over. The hill hirings.
The loyal fans are getting upset with the naysayers

I've actually been a member since the day this site started. Been with Ketch since the 360 board. Not sure why the shield says 12 months and not particularly concerned about it.Originally posted by Los Corralles:

Exactly. I wish the mods would aggressively delete those accounts. They are easy to spot.

I've been noticing that most of the crap threads are started by posters I've never seen or heard of before.
Hornbacker - stick around, this too shall pass.
It's a bad time in the Longhorn nation. Lots of adversity right in front of us. People react much differently to adversity across the board and that's what you're seeing.
This board generally goes as the program goes. It's a great place to be when things are good. A not so great place when things are bad. It's just been a long time since things have been this bad.
We should probably find ways to stick together, better understand each other, practice some restraint and respect, and this board becomes a much better place. But it's tough when there's so many trolls roaming freely.

Good point Salty. Been discussing this very thing tonight in an email thread with other posters.Originally posted by Salty Mule:
I have many of the same feelings as the original poster with the exception of Taylor's cleavage. The problem with your response Ketch is that many of us think this board and you should have higher standards. Part of what made this board so much better than all the others was the combination of great info and incite provided by moderators and just as importantly, it members.Originally posted by Ketchum:

We will continue to do the best job we can to police the boards and take out the trash, but there are a lot of angry people right now and they ARE Longhorn fans.
It's a tough passion to have when the return on the investment is way behind and the last three years added up have taken a toll on people.
If you see specific posts or posters that you believe are an issue, I encourage you to email. help by being part of the solution. It helps to have eyeballs that will help.
Unfortunately many of the great members have been unfairly treated poorly. These are people that help build this site reputation and are now being told to "stop being puzzies and just accept that". To say just accept it is a shitty answer to a complaint by many. Hell I am angry but I am not on the site berating other members just because I am angry. Yall have no problem keeping the political post and breast off the site shouldn't that hard to keep a few obnoxious members off either.

Using the ignore function works for me. Cannot stand the negativity. I probably have 50 or so of the negative guys on my ignore list, and add to it daily.
something like this I suppose.....Originally posted by Reverent Horn:

FYI< I'm the one that had the pleasure of notifying Taylor of this thread's existence.
I'd like to think that's the case, but when you have more than 13,000 people it's hard to get everyone on board with this way of thinking.Originally posted by IMFletch:
I don't think the expectation of allowing dissenting opinions while mandating civil behavior is an unreasonable one.
Pretty much summed it up perfectly.Originally posted by Reverent Horn:
That is not the situation. You are correct, there are two camps: Those that want Mack gone and never stop posting their negative crap over and over; jumping in on every positive thread to spew their poison. And the other camp that also would like to see a coaching change, but has accepted the fact that the decision makers have decided to give Mack another year. Those of us who feel that way still want to support the program, talk about next year, etc... without having to have the naysayers bring their negative perspective to every thread.Originally posted by CM286456:
It appears this site is divided into two camps. Those that want to force change and those that don't. If a person wants Mack gone then that person is negative and should be run off the board. If u like things like they are, then your a sunshine pumper who has lost touch with reality. Which ever side you take that person is attacked and insulted. There has to be some middle ground here because everyone has a right to an opinion.
The really sad part is this is what is happening "inside the 40 acres". There is not a lot of positive things happening for Texas sports right now.
They have a right to post their whining, but damn it is exasperating.
