Go back a page.  I was "attacked" for a "winning the offseason" banner comment.  A joke if you will. 

That's all I am commenting on -- tempering the optimism.  It's great we have new guys, new roster, etc. etc.  But my fear is the new boss is the same as the old boss.  I have been on here saying -- show me, first.  That's all.  Some of you all are insane.  

Not sure why it's your job to temper anything? As far as the "joke if you will", you're making the same snide remarks in every thread, about every other post, gets very old. Go to the Complain here or Fire Woodson thread and kvetch to your heart's content. It's really difficult to keep any positive attitudes when people feel it's their responsibility to bring them down

Get over it.  Make a sunshine pumpers only thread then.

Then what was the fkg point of spending $6 mil.  Just to be mediocre?  

Those are my expectations every year -- I expect to be the best.  Not the dumpster fire we have been.  Mike Woodson himself said "compete for championships."  Well, we're waiting.  Reality is we'll be middle of the pack again, first weekend exit.  

That's what you think, correct. 

It's just trying to shove it down other's throats, in EVERY thread, EVERY day, that's gotten a little overboard. I feel like there are two-three threads flat-out dedicated to taking sh*ts on Woodson, staff, and whoever else to suffice some on here's constant need to poop on things. Just do your pooping there, mercy, is that all that hard of an ask?

Ok. then you should be asked to stay on topic in this thread and every post NOT on topic should be deleted. 

Now we've found common ground.

Hey; you expect us to be 17-3 in conference this year and I am much more negative.

I'm okay with your sunshine pumping; that's all I'm saying.        ;)

Do we or don't we want to compete with the best programs out there?   If we do, then we better set our expectations at their level.

In summary; "Only poop in the toilet."

I said one fkg thing about "winning the offseason."  You guys need jobs.

1) Yes.

2) Probably best to state that in the "Expectations for 24/25 Season" thread.

Your comment said nothing about winning the offseason, only suggested that we may be "locked out" of in-state recruiting (at a time when we are involved with multiple in-state prospects). People are tired of digs from fellow fans and that goes both ways, not sure why you're surprised your joke did not land. Nobody wants to get flak for rooting for their team, whatever that looks like to them. Virtually all of us feel the same way you do (show me first) yet do not feel the need to reduce every conversation to "bUt MiKe WoOdSoN" 

There is a thread for tempering optimism or even downright negativity, not this one though. 

Stuhoo has already unpacked how you're "misreading the room" with your "tempering optimism" ... but yeah, some of all the other posters are the insane ones (just like some of all the college professors ;)

You have me rolling about the bold. I'm dead. For you old people, that means I'm laughing very hard.

Payne committed to Texas A&M, another center we missed out on. He visited and everything.

Did you expect us to have a chance after Ballo committed? Not sure that was likely to happen given the market for Payne.

First, in line with the new forum rules, this thread is about the transfer portal.  So what is a HS recruiting tweet doing here?  Second, if anyone who thinks a few meetings with some in state dudes means we have the state locked up, they're delusional.  We'll have the state locked up when they are committed.  

But yeah, lets go.  We're back baby.   Woody's cooking.

Do we need a backup? Or does Ballo play 40 minutes? You guys are no fun anymore.

And decided to go elsewhere when Ballo committed or did you think he would of been fine in a reserve roll after starting for Minny last year?

Don't worry.  Woody's got this.

Anthony Leal is our backup. Thought that was common knowledge?
