can't teach you anything - if only because you started out with..'I feel' - everything you attempt to do/think/or learn from there is skewed due to the emphasis on 'feeling' rather than thinking
you got your feelings hurt somehow/someway with or about the isu program
no one can teach you anything until:
1. you move on from having your feelings hurt/get over it
or 2. you learn to think critically
jmho - your mileage may vary
(now go on and spout your nonsense)
hahaha, classic spartan! i love it
..i better not do either of your suggestions or else you might have no other reason to post on the den!!
and loosing you would be tragic, like loosing that neighbor kid "gabe" who never really contributes to the group but you kinda like having him around cuz he balances things out somehow. dont go anywhere gaber (can i call you that now?).
up for the challenge said:
up for the challenge has officially retired from this website so I will not be posting anymore and I will not be reading this site anymore. Good Luck Bengals, I will be watching your games next season win or lose.
i'm calling this a third-person fake retirement...(again)
ps challenged has somehow extrapolated blackfoot's original comment as an insult (that being that challenged would eat a cowpie if zam offered it (hilarious btw)). this of course is not an insult, while perhaps crude and vivid, it really only depicts your (up for the "cowpie" challenge) blind and reckless abandonment to follow and trust zamberlin (note: not isu football, but zamberlin). unless you consider your "blind-faith" a personal flaw, i wouldn't take it as a personal insult when you get called out on it.
furthermore you'll remember that before the extension was announced, you got on here and guaranteed to us all that zam would be getting an extension. you did this for weeks! and you did this when there was no logical reason for anyone to think that, based on performance, zamberlin deserved any kind of extension. so you're either some kind of prophet (which i doubt) or you were privy to information due to your
CLOSE affiliation with the department. that's why we all thought you were mary ellen (or at least i did).
Anyway Tiger, I don't publicize dissenting opinions of the program or coaches here on a public forum, because I don't have to. I just meet with someone and talk to them, which I have very easy access to, and I understand you guys don't, hence a forum to air that stuff...I totally get that. But yes, I have had differences with coaches and administrators before, and I have no problems talking to any of them...I think I have earned respect because of that. However, I'm a team guy, and once we have a decision, I'm on board, and off we go, because that's how a team should work...at least in my frame of mind.
i misunderstood what you meant by "carte blanche" sid. thank you for posting this tho, reading this gives me peace of mind. obviously you have to be a team player, i understand that. call it my wild imagination but i get this hunch that you're told (one way or another) to do damage control on the board. for whatever reason that is my (and perhaps others) perception. However, hearing that you're able to voice dissent for things which you dissent upon is encouraging. you're in a better position than any of us to influence the powers that be. i like thinking that you're not just a mouth piece or utensil for zamberlin propaganda. again blame my imagination, but that's kind of the way i thought of you on this board. i'll do some reformations in the way i see the sid.
here is a big question i have, which you may be able to shed some light on: how if at all does this board effect the individuals who make the decisions around you? obviously there is a degree of importance given to the den since you take the time to contribute, but is it just a recreational outlet
OR are you able to take anything from this forum further?
..one more question, in regards to the OC search, can you further shed light on zamberlin's goals such that is he:
A.) looking for a guy who will be able to bring in a preset offense (such as this fabled spread), or
B.) for a guy who can come in a "tailor" an offense for the current personnel?
i guess the differences here is a focus on the strengths of our personnel vs. the strength of a particular offensive scheme.
