I have been told by Dorothy Mantooth that I know nothing about volleyball so I decided to prove it. You firmly put me in my place without too much hesitation and I now stand corrected. In truth I am a little envious of the great support (in a good way) that you provide for your team. I do enjoy the fun we have chatting about vb and am still learning the sport that has become my obsession.

Apology accepted. The way I see it is we are part of the same B1G family, so to speak. I will always support PSU, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and the whole gamut when you guys are playing teams outside of the conference, because it makes the B1G that much stronger. Normally I loathe commercials, but I liked the one that ran over this past season showing the conference schools on an animated map.
So here’s to solidarity and another strong season this fall. I think the B1G is going to be dominant for the rest of the decade with all the recruits and transfers coming into our conference, so I look forward to celebrating our wins and bids in the tourney!

Vtalk is both a place to share information, AND a place to express opinion. I welcome everyone's opinion, folks just shouldnt make definitive statements regarding things they don't know to be accurate.

It's sooooooooooooo easy to spout nonsensical rhetoric from the anonymity of a chat board. If one posts things as if they were talking in person, eye to eye, things won't tend to get so emotionally over the top. |

This sort of apology-posting and admission of wrong-doing and the effort to make peace with others is going to ruin Volleytalk.
Can't we all just not get along?

How about ignoring obvious stupidity ? By responding to buffoonery with anger and incredulousness, aren't you just propping up and publicizing the buffoon's flawed opinion and in many cases giving them more credibility ? Best to just pat them on the head, move on and add something smart to the conversation instead of using up valuable bandwidth dumbing down the site by endless replies to pure ignorance.

Well, I believe I posted just that. I should have let it stand for what it is. Having said that accusing programs of paying athletes crosses what I hope we all would consider the line. |

One day some one get a wild hair up their A$$ and makes a post that is controversial and they are beaten into submission, and the next day they retract/apologize and then there is a group hug and the singing of Kumbaya.......LOL

That picture sort of implies Goldie got run over by a car. Actually Goldie arrived on the scene much earlier after a hard night of partying. I know because Goldie is one of my party buds. |
