Let me put it this way... think about what I am going to say and don't just react to it.
You buy a car. A nice car. The type you've always wanted and you spend a pretty penny on it. Then you discover the engine is shot and you spend a lot of money at the shop to get it fixed.
You get the car back and it... kind of works. The clutch sticks a bit, one of the windshield wipers doesn't work, and you are consuming the oil production of Saudia Arabia to keep it on the road. But it rolls!
You take it back to the shop and they tell you've fixed everything the car will drive like a dream. Great, this is your dream car and you can't wait to drive it. Then, you take it home and the engine and transmission both immediately fail.
Now... would you be upset about both the car and the shop?
People are upset about the coach and the team right now. Frankly, telling them they shouldn't be upset about it is in its own way a worse melt then what they are doing.
They have every right to be pissed off.

No, no, no!
You must stay loyal to them and keep buying their product and services, because its what the campaign says.

What part of acting like a child on a message board is going to help the football mess we are in?
That's what I'm saying, suck it up buttercup.
Not one time did I say we should like what is going on
To answer your question though, a car is more important to me than the Hogs. It carries my family around and costs the equivalent of many years worth of athletic donations. Might as well have thrown out an analogy that includes asteroids hitting the Earth

Exactly 3 games into the season, and you nancies are jumping off the ship like rats. Its as if the majority of you gutless sons of bitches just started being fans of the Hogs 5 years ago.
When I give the athletic department money, I can feel however I damn well please. They want my(our)money. When I give someone money, I expect a good to great return.
Gutless is someone who doesn't give a shite.

Feet, you are welcome to stop donating at any time. Nobody is forcing anything on you, but being a bitch on a website with no affiliation to the program is only making you look sad

upset about two things they can't control
I took lefty's OP to mean people shouldn't be upset over the uncontrollable.

well yea, but that's not very smart to let a game affect them that way. perhaps these people should see a psychiatrist \
also being upset about a car that affects getting to your job that affects your income is different that worrying about a game.

Then why are you posting here?
Nobody is acting like a child. Outside of possibly you looking for some sort of reaction, just as a child would do.

Your right. I give money to McDonald's and expect filet mignon quite regularly
And if I don't get it pronto, I throw a hissy fit in the parking lot and make everyone look. All this after I spend months bragging about how good their food is

You're in my thread
Trollin is not necessary with most of you Lilly livered a holes
Spend the offseason talking shite, then stay in your cave of a team board and cry your eyes out. Get out there and take your lumps

I know I'm not going to convince you, because this is your particular melt. You have every right to melt down the way you see fit.
But... you order filet mignon and you get chicken nuggets. Now you have every right to be upset. We are getting chicken nuggets at filet mignon prices.

People are annoyed, particularly at our HC and our AD, for a very good reason. A fairly high percentage of our posters buy season tickets, some to multiple sports, they donate money to the University, and generally support through purchasing merchandise and other acts. We aren't talking pocket change here, some of these folks dump a shiteload of money each year into the program. Right now they are legitimately upset that the money they've spent is getting tossed in the toilet. So yeah, they are pissed off. Considering the way the team has played they have good reason to be.
This. They want to solicit donations and other shite from alumni and supporters. We expect at least a minimum return on investment. Right now, I don't even feel that I've gotten a decent return on the Razorback dog shite scooper I purchased, much less anything else. Essentially, I am purchasing the right to bitch when I donate or otherwise support the flaming shitwreck of a program we have. And it helps lower my blood pressure and relieve stress. The hogs are my dammit doll.

We are paying high prices because we live in Beverly hills, and we ain't moving
So is firing everyone after 2 years the answer?
