Horns247 Board

Bobby poked the bear yesterday and we see this today? Just how bent out of shape did he get?

I don't know where you heard that from, but prior to joining I found the rep to be a great site to get the best analysis and info but the board and discussion were lacking a lot due to cliquish behavior with a small poster base.

You're welcome to your opinion, but I just don't think it adds much to the conversation here.

Jesus Christo, Burton. Ketchum is so thin-skinned (no reverse pun intended), I can't see how you would have thought it would be taken in jest. The guy bristles at even the slightest slight even after all these years. C'mon man, it's pretty hard to believe this was all in good fun.

Oh. Well in that case I defer to you Mr. Shakespeare. :)

I agree, but everyone loves drama on the Internet because it's somebody else and not them dealing with it. It's like a movie

While you are actually 100% correct, I realize that for years I have largely tried to ignore the crowd you discuss.

yes they are here, yes they can be annoying but as the board has grown, they have become easier to "read over" so to speak.

Perhaps I am envisioning a board where the discussions rival the quality of the work of Gerry Jeff Walker bobby Allen Dave etc etc.

86 upvotes, none down. Good job all.

Especially Texags, however, don't forget about OU.............They do still suck!!!!

Bobby,

You sir are a class act, way to go and be proactive with the issue!

Never understood the whole Ketch hate thing; it does no one on this board any good and it is a waste of time to be frank. Especially to those of us who have never had any association with the Orangebloods site.
I have never been a paying member of a Longhorn site till I joined Hook'em.
I got hooked the first day and quickly realized I love recruiting. So thank you ALL for the quality input!

I, personally, have never said anything about ketch. My main concern, however, is losing the freedom of speech. Profanity is something that i can see being asked to not happen. But most people who write actually pay to voice their opinions! Attacking Ketch as a person is wrong, but just like the athletes he covers and evaluates, his work can and will be weighed and criticized. If he cant handle that then maybe he's in the wrong business. Thats just my opinion. I mean no disrespect to bobby or anyone who immediately agreed with him. Its just sad that freedoms are being removed because everyone wants to be politically correct.

THats 5 different people expressing their opinions. If they dont want that then make this a free site and they can control every aspect of it. But dont take people money and then tell them they cant criticize another authors writing. They put it on here because they want to believe people think the same way they do. They same reason we subscribe to this site. Lets not be blind. Aggies are criticized just as much. First its ketch, then it will be dont say mean things about aggies, then what next?

I wasn't saying I feel it's that way, I was giving what I read when I was doing some research on this site to see if I wanted to try it out. It's just a rep that's out there, good or bad, but I think the board is evolving a bit into some nice discussion topics like the recent ones on RSJ and even the Barrett no offer thread.

As always though the big draw here is the info and analysis and that is spot on. I've been impressed.

I don't know, Alan might jump you
