How many years do we have to suck for the pumpers to realize that it’s not being negative it’s being realistic to talk about our failures.

In every single thread? And then start new threads for it? Do you really think that the "pumpers' don't see any shortcomings, or don't get frustrated? We do, we just choose to not bring everybody else down with the constant grinding and negativity.

Exactly. Reminds me of a quote:

”If you run into an a$$h*le in the morning, you ran into an a$$h*le. If you run into a$$h*les all day, you're the a$$h*le.”

Some posters who have contributed real substance to this board still cannot grasp this logic.

Those assholes have built credibility over the years! I can’t believe you’d even try to compare Archie to them!

I love the fact that if you just simply want to have threads, on a discussion board, that aren't bombarded with the same negativity over and over again, and instead use those threads to actually discuss things, you are pumper. I also love the term pumper. But I move to refer to anyone who is not a pumper as a dumper. It's the pumpers vs. dumpers everyone.

So because I'm tired of reading negativity in every thread or don't constantly post negatively about every game, etc. I'm a pumper? Lol

If you’re not constantly negative you’re not intelligent enough to realize what’s going on. It’s impossible to understand the current situation and post positivity. Also, if you don’t post that you want Archie fired you completely support him and the direction of the program.

In the same way that the dumpers are called negative, yes I guess.  It's a dirty game .

But I agree with the pumpers, this stuff should stay out of this thread

I guess we can just repeat that all we need is a shooter and next year is the year.

As long as it’s in another and not this one people can repeat whatever they want

I heard this on the Maryland/Wiscy broadcast last night.  180 meetings and the first where both teams are ranked.  I wonder if there are longer streaks at the major conference level.

Florida State at Clemson, will be interested to see how FSU plays on the road in conference too.  The ACC seems like it's a bit down this season.

Both sides can be quite extreme.  When I voiced my strong desire to not hire Archie, I was laughed at by pompous posters who told me I don't understand basketball.  I heard it for a couple years until more people on here got vocal about his deficiencies.  Then we were told we're only being negative.

In retaliation I've engaged in rhetoric myself.  In truth this board is full of very intelligent people.  The dumpers are not just negative and they know basketball.  The pumpers are not just pumping and they know basketball. There's just so much rhetoric from both sides.

I think one problem with this board is that most everybody post anonymously so they can go overboard.  Obviously that's not exclusive to this board, it's the anonymity of the interwebz.

I'll see myself back to the negative thread.  But I ask that you let us have that one to vent.  Don't bring your pumping in there!

Didn't have to face OSU's leading scorer, now this. Miami was also down 2 starters when they played them. 

 

Purdue is going to be that team that ends up 13-7 or 14-6 in conference and everyone is going to wonder how they did it.
