PenguinNation,
Thank you, but what is there to reconsider? This is the SECOND thread 1AA Fan has moved that involved discussion about the coaching staff. And, this time, he took comments made by myself, Paladin, NebraskaPenguin and a few others, started a new thread in the BS section, and has it so that I am listed as the person who started the thread. And, just so you know, at least 2 posts you made on THIS THREAD have been moved to the BS section. Why, I have no idea other than it is 1AAFan's board, and like the kid that brings the only ball to play kickball, basketball, baseball, football, soccer...etc, he can take his ball and go home any time he wants.
Thus, that thread now makes no sense, given people were responding to comments made by myself and others. And, this thread here is out of balance, because posts have been removed.
YSU now has a high profile, former FBS Head Coach. A person with a long track record. A person who is a lightning rod for controversy, and who really does not care. He is who he is, and dealing with the controversy comes with the territory. He hired a former assistant of his from Nebraska, who is also a lightning rod for controversy, and like Bo does not seem to care. In fact, Ron Brown almost seems to relish the controversy. Then there is the POSSIBILITY of Carl Pelini being a part of the staff. A person who has been an assistant at the FBS level at one of the most well known college programs in the country, plus OU, another FBS program. And he was most recently and a Head Coach at the FBS level, and has controversy in his past from his time at FAU, and the reasons he is no longer the HC. Those are just facts. This is not going away. If anything, it will intensify as the season nears, and maybe even during Spring practice. YSU will get alot of national media attention for mistakes made by Bo, Ron Brown and Carl if hired. They will get little national attention for successes, because of being an FCS program. That is the reality of college football in the year 2015.
So, discussions like what has transpired on this thread, and on the thread about Ron Brown are the new normal at YSU. That is what happens when hiring prominent people who have a history of being controversial figures, and for whom there are hundreds of articles out there on line about the controversies in which they have been involved. I've read comments about Bo and Carl on Nebraska fan boards that I never passed on, largely because they are comments that have no links to back up the accusations. The things I've posted are things found in links on the internet, and also articles in The Jambar, the school newspaper.
What is the point of me remaining? This is far from the first time I have apparently gotten on the nerves of many of the people who post. So, why stay? Why subject myself to this BS? Why subject others to my posts? My life does not revolve around YSU Athletics, and now that I'm in Las Vegas, I also support UNLV as this is now my home. I will just spend my time as far as discussing college athletics on the UNLV message board.
To people I offended with my language, I apologize. Having said that, the language in my post is very tame compared to what you will be getting with Bo Pelini as HC. Not an indictment of Bo, just stating a fact. One he would most likely agree with, and there are also the audio and video readily available.
I let my temper get to me, and for that I apologize. Not for the point of my post, but some of the language. And, I'm leaving the post up to show I am a person prone to allowing their emotions to get the best of them at times, and I'm also willing to admit fault and apologize when that happens.
