The use of the term "next year", the words "if only", and the phrase "because of injuries" as they pertain to Aztec Football threads.
They have become as redundant as a couple of the more "vocal" posters here.

Wrong forum. There is a feedback forum that is ideal for suggestions or complaints. This would fit right in...  |

I don't know whats worse on this forum....People that complain about Aztec Football or people that complain about other people complaining about Aztec Football. Huge difference. Those folks with issues about the football program are on topic--namely sports at Aztec Mesa. Others spend their mental resources (some with very little to spare) attacking those who criticize the program---and those who run it. |

Others spend their mental resources (some with very little to spare) attacking those who criticize the program---and those who run it. It's one thing to give critical feedback of a program or people leading a program (in your case Rocky Long and Jim Sterk)...it's another thing to carry out what seemingly appears as a coordinated personal vendetta by attacking these same people over and over and over again...100's of very similar posts (many times highjacking posts that have nothing to do with Rocky or Sterk)...offering no new information but laboring the same points and name calling (you have mis-coined the phrase "Rocky Retread" when referring to the leader of our most successful coach since the late Don Coryell...despite the fact that he has had only two D1 head coaching positions in his entire career) ...yet your rants continue ad nauseam... For every one of your (and select others) attacks...there needs to be a response...otherwise if it goes unchecked it will tacitly appear that you (and your cohorts) are speaking for the majority when in fact you are on the fringes of the minority... If you simply stop your relentless personal attacks against our leaders...then there will be no cause to offer a defense in absentia... |

And then try to tie the hands of those responding by taking away legitimate responses by "disallow"ing certain phrases. |

Unless you are Rocky Long or Jim Sterk there is no need for you to defend them. They're big boys getting paid big money. They can handle a little criticism.

If you simply stop your relentless personal attacks against our leaders...then there will be no cause to offer a defense in absentia... I would suggest that you study more carefully. The only time that I "attack" a poster is if they've first taken a shot at me. They don't like what I've said about the program, and they turn it into something personal. The anger emanating from some of these adolescent posters is palpable at times. If you feel a "need" to respond to my comments, feel free. But don't be shocked if I hit back. |

The only thing I am inclined to disallow is a win by UW over our AZTECS!

I didn't write that you "attacked" posters...only Rocky Long and Jim Sterk...relentlessly...(unless you inferred that when I wrote "leaders" I was referring to posters)... |

I am not the President of the United States...but I'll defend the office (regardless of who is the current office holder)...because he (or some day she) is the leader of my country...in the same way the head coach of any Aztec team is the leader of my team...and I will not defame or disparage but rather protect and defend my leaders until which time they are not... |

Hmmm. Thanks for the clarity, although a bit disturbing. But I'm fine with your "defense", as long as it's not loaded with a personal attack. |

No one is threatening Rocky. He can take a little fan criticism. |

But then how would they start threads with "Next year, if only we get a new coach, we won't lose these winnable games because of injuries"

What we need is little icons below our screen names verifying who's a donor ($ or $$) and season ticket holder (football icon, basketball icon, baseball icon, etc.) of which sport(s) so I can ignore the long-winded nonsense posted by those who have nothing below their names.
