When you think shortspace has a clue

I think we need to start a thread...and I will do it if need be...

but we need a thread that calls out what we dislike, or like; about our fellow posters...just to keep everybody in check...

 

who's in?

[OliviaPope40 6,424]

When I can never pick a player and always change my alias.

When your free throw percentage matches your shooting percentage from 3pt.

 

When the other team's players all get their career bests when playing IU.

 

When the other team has more blocks than you have 3 pointers

 

When we are having discussions on forums why students are not showing up for the home games

 

When Rebel has been MIA for 3 weeks now and counting

Bad idea. Many "pumpers" have left this board or post much less, due the the lambasting from the "realists extreme" (I differentiate extreme bc I enjoy true realists who respect others, not so much the extreme ones who only want to belittle others by making them feel stupid for differing in opinion). The mob mentality here right now wouldn't be conducive to constructive criticism.

I like the concept! When I moved here from 247, I checked to see if certain posters were here, because their posts were what I liked.

I was a CBS'er from the beginning...

it was good...ok...it was ok...

I was told to make the move to 247...and I did...

 

I ran into a different type of IU posting/gathering...

I pissed off some peeps...

then...

 

I was told to come here...I was told that I would be welcomed here...and I am...

 

I'm just trying to fit in...somewhere...

people tell me how they feel about me on BTB all the time. Haha. I'm just a rabid IU sports fan. Riding the roller coaster. Always excited about the next win and in fear of the next loss. I just wish we were a better basketball program overall. Tired of the losing and especially the excuses.

BTBanners is great though. The name calling gets a little much at times but I really enjoy the diversity of thoughts and opinions. Whenever I need sunshine pumping, I know where to go. :).

My basketball friends in "real life" are ruthless towards Crean and the state of IU basketball. Think Dakich, unfiltered!

When, while coaching youth ball this morning, I was told my team's Defense could teach IU a few tricks.

Oh yea. I could be labeled a sunshine pumper compared to the majority of IU fans I know in person.

lots of my friends have just plain given up and have become fair weather fans.

Jim Jackson starts saying that Luke Fischer reminds him of Cody Zeller.

I agree for the most part. I do think some of the pumpers were by far the worst perpetrators of the discouraging constructive criticism, and one still is (we all know who I am talking about). Both extremes suck, but it wasn't one that s causing people to leave the site

Yeah, the extremists exist for both sides.  There definitely were, and still are, posters that can't handle their beloved Tom Crean receiving event he slightest amount of criticism of any kind.
