You're hilarious Erik, and I know you're never going to stop bashing this program, or more specifically... Rocky Long. Ever. Or at least until he's fired or wins the national championship. On second thought, you'd continue to bash him for months after he was fired, if that ever happens.
So have at it, bash away. Best of luck for all the good it's going to do.

Hoobs, do you remember when I was one of the few people defending the hiring of Rocky? Do you remember when I was calling for patience during his first two seasons? Do you remember when I said that he's a good coach and deserves a chance? Well, all those things happened. And the team regressed and my position on Rocky Long changed. And just like it changed before, if he proves me wrong by winning 10 games in the regular season and follows those wins up with a Bowl win I will gladly change my position again. I just don't see that happening as he's never done that before as a Head Coach or as a Coordinator and the same problems we've seen over the last few years continue to be problems now, even though he's had years to address and correct those problems. But if he does I'll be 110% behind him again. Fact.

I did not get to see the game... Erik, we won, right? In past years we've lost games to inferior opponents, but not last night right? Just checking.
I don't like to make these things personal, but you've kicked people off the board for being far less annoying, who were making much more valid and valuable contributions than you in your multi-thread meltdown.
Show some class and perspective, or ban yourself until you can.

I don't mind calling a moderator out. You can't "call a moderator out" if said moderator confuses post critique with personal attacks. Better just to ignore said posts.

You must love mediocrity, huh? Going to meaningless bowl games just because we beat the worst of fbs and a fcs team. The 8 wins when we would be winning 5-6 games yearly against a average schedule, right?
You must have been a huge ted tollner fan as well.
Nah, I just hate mediocre fans. Sorry I didn't get the memo that it isn't okay to just point out what needs to be improved... you have to do the keyboard equivalent of jumping up and down and throwing a tantrum while you're at it. Isn't criticizing the fans the way you have this morning the same thing? Throwing a keyboard tantrum because you don't like the posts? How does that make anything better? It just ratchets up the conflict, and that is completely unnecessary. Can we all agree that we want the Aztecs to win as many games as possible and look as good as possible in doing so?

Observations aren't excuses. Plays like screens and slants didn't happen, power runs and tosses were rare, even though we frequently use them. Now you are bringing hyperbole to your negativity. Again, the O is a concern. You are so busy being a downer you don't see that no one denies that. Your meltdown on this board is just a pathetic showcase of a fan who looks to be proven right on the negatives more than just enjoying the positives, even something as simple as football being back. If you were only in one thread, sure. But you have posted woe is us on four threads at least. More widespread negativity than constructive dialogue. I enjoyed watching that defense, enjoyed a more sure QB than we have had in the last couple years. Concerns are the OLine and the receivers. There, that wasn't hard to do. And we are not the butt of jokes, don't be obtuse. Very well said. Wait, we were just displaying our gamesmanship by hiding the razzle dazzle hidden in our playbook? We didn't want to tip our hand to future opponents by showing them tosses, screen plays, and slants. Makes total sense. No wonder some people get on here as moderators and ruin our recruiting and team morale.

I hope it's not a serious injury. We need all hands on deck this season... Even in the thread, your negativity exudes through. Let's make a deal....you post no negative threads until at least October 1. Deal? That way we have four games under our belts and have a thorough view of our team.

You are completely imagining negativity there. I hope it's not a serious injury. Nothing negative there - I want Lomax to be OK. We need all hands on deck this season... Nothing negative there - every team needs to be as healthy as possible, and because of our G5 status we have less depth than the big boys do, so to have a successful season we need all hands on deck. What's negative about that?

I'd like to think that a 10 win season and a win or two against P5 teams would simply rally everyone around the team the same way that the men's basketball team has. When you look at what happened at Viejas with an older coach in Steve Fisher has done at a place with no resources and very little positive history you can see that the upside potential, the ceiling, is actually much higher for our Aztec football team than even our basketball team. That's the challenge for this team. Get some wins, people will get to know the players. In all sports... winning fixes everything. That is absolutely, 110% correct. Win against a solid P5 team (not just one that's down and having a 4-8 season) and get to 10 wins in the regular season, and win a Bowl game (all in the same season) and that would stop ALL of the criticism and bring everyone together. This program has had the potential to do that for decades. We've just haven't had the right AD/HC/Coaching Staff combination to make it happen. Uh, BS. No matter what this team does, you will scour the performance for negatives and then run to your keyboard like a kid to an ice cream truck to share your spew.

So we should stay silent while a poster posts negativity on every active thread? Got it. Actually, yes. Everyone has a right to their opinion - not just the ones you agree with. If you still have a problem with this moderation philosophy (no personal attacks or criticisms of other board members, including mods) then feel free to share your thoughts on the Feedback sub-forum ( aztecmesa.proboards.com/board/1/feedback-announcements-administration-help ). We are actually VERY responsive to feedback on that forum and by PM. You would be pleasantly surprised. Why was honey badger allowed to post his vile about JJ so long despite numerous "reports to mod?"

Hard to believe that someone posting honest opinions could possibly change anything. I think you give me far too much credit, Silvershark.

Why was honey badger allowed to post his vile about JJ so long despite numerous "reports to mod?" Because on this board, one is allowed to personally attack SDSU players, coaches, administrators, announcers, etc, but NOT individual posters/moderators. Whether or not you agree that this is an appropriate distinction to draw is irrelevant. However, if you criticize the contents of a post by certain posters, said critiques may be inappropriately considered to be personal attacks and they will be deleted. Whether or not you agree with this is irrelevant.

Against Cal? And Penn State? You know as well as I do that we're going to get dominated by both of those teams. This wasn't just a preseason game. This was Smith's audition - his chance to show what he's got against a patsy. Well, we found out he doesn't have much. Inaccurate arm. Made worse by receivers who couldn't get open and a line that was barely adequate against what should have been a totally inferior opponent. You have to see that the offense only being able to score ONE touchdown is a serious indicator of a serious problem. I don't care how vanilla the offense was - we should have had the size, strength, speed, and skill advantage over USD to allow us to score at least 4 TD's offensively, even running the most basic offense. WWWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAMMMMBBBBBUUUUULLLLLLAAAAAANNNNNNCCCCCEEEE!!!! You are going to feel foolish later in the season. You mean he doesn't already?
