I come here, post jokes, opinions, read up on others posts, and overall enjoy the forum in general. However, one 'habit' that I see here OFTEN is the ripping of our student athletes on a regular basis.

I'm as much for free speech as the next person, however, I am opposed to the onslaught of negative comments about our student athletes or Aggies bashing Aggies.

I'm quite fed up with it. I'd ask each of you to consider the sacrifice each athlete makes, putting his body on the line at each game at the expense of our entertainment. Broken bones, ruptured knees, concussions, etc and we sit behind a computer screen and attempt to bash them. Some athletes have traveled a long, hard road to achieve a scholarship or simply walk on to our teams (not just football), and we should applaud and respect their achievements.

I put out a call to clean up the forum boards, treat our fellow Aggies with respect, and keep the criticism respectful and constructive. We are simply better, as a group, than we act on this board.

I've seen Ricky Seals Jones Subway order and really question his value as a human being.

We can still criticize coaches, hyman, jason cook, our marketing team, Adidas, supermodels, pron stars, other posters, their wives, their fat girlfriends, staph and especially liberals right?

I haven't actually seen that that much, sorry. But I'm sure it happens.

It amuses me that Debt will pray for the student athletes before the game then criticize them after on the internet for things he himself is incapable of doing.

You created the standard that only those that are capable can criticize. Don't get mad at me when you realize your premise is flawed.

Lol. My original premise was that you couldn't do it. Fact. Then you tried to compare yourself with an ex college ball player and successful coach to try to make yourself feel more important.

Your right, your original premise creates a situation where criticism can only come from people who can perform better than our players. Its a monumentally stupid idea. And you should feel bad for thinking you are clever to come up with it or that "ya got me".

Is this thread turning into the after party for the prayer thread?

Can't be Honeycutt because he posted it in the right forum. The real Honeycutt would have taken a bad angle and accidentally posted this in the Nerdery.

Good Lord. It should be obvious that there is a world of difference between soberly pointing out a player's specific deficiencies (a la "I hope Sanders can improve his tackling between now and Arky") and gleefully slamming the player himself (a la " **** Bertoilet" ).

The first is ok. The second is not. If you don't see the difference you have some growing up to do.
