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. So by your logic those that have not donated or have season tickets cannot have a worthwhile contribution to the conversation? That seems a bit short sighted and elitist.

LOL. I'm sorry but that's so closed minded/elitist I can't even.

Sorry for having standards. Just seems like if a person truly cares -- and if they want to actually be a part of making the situation better --that they get involved in more ways than just anonymously talking about it. Granted some aren't in a position to, and for them I'm not talking down or insulting them, but, as we know simply by comparing the number of local alums versus revenue coming into our university, it's clearly not a priority to many to be part of making things better.

LOL. I'm sorry but that's so closed minded/elitist I can't even. It is what it is ... My figurative two cents isn't worth anymore than the next persons, however ones literal two cents to the university infinitely trumps those those who don't do anything to make the situation better.

Not everyone has the means to give to the university. Just because someone has less money does not make them worth less as a person and certainly does not lesser their voice/opinion by any means as you insinuated. Don't even see how anyone could argue that.

Don't even see how anyone could argue that. I said in my other post that not everyone is able to give and that's totally understandable. Not judging those people. My point is there are plenty of people who CAN give $100 or $1,000 or more and CHOOSE not to (yet are very vocal about their opinions of the state of State). Kind of like politics and those who won't take the ten minutes to vote because they think their vote doesn't matter and then often being the first and most vocal to complain the world.

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. 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... HALLE-FRICKIN-LUJAH, Brother!!!

Yes, obviously people have the option to donate but do not sure that's a real thing going on that's clear. But claiming it's worthless to read anyone's comments unless they donate/whatever is kind of far fetched.

I guess the more PC way to say it is that I'm more sympathetic to the plight, passion and opinions of those who spend their hard-earned money on a particular sport than those who may not have chosen not to show the same level of commitment and investment in said team. Anyone can say "I want..." Fewer go out and do everything they can to make that desire a reality.
