Sending messages like that to players is abhorrent. No excuse for it. I know I bad mouth BA on here, but I seriously doubt he reads it. But to direct statements at him in the nature I've seen on twitter and facebook is pathetic. That's the problem with social media. I think it creates a disconnect that allows people to say things they would never say in person. And it's almost like many don't realize that there is a real live person at the other end receiving this verbal. abuse.

Sending harassing messages to a person because you don't think they're good enough in a sport you watch is pretty fricking dumb and pathetic. It shows low social intelligence and/or poor character.

I never argued otherwise. But getting outraged about tweets is pretty dumb and pathetic too. This is a billion dollar business, it's not little league.

it's college not pro sports.
anyone who tweets players, imo (and isn't a coach or friend) is a twat.

Are the players getting a share of that? If not, then the fact that college football is a billion dollar business is irrelevant to the issue at hand.

They get a lot more than that from the school. Stipends are getting increased too.

I never said it was unreasonable to complain about tweets, I said it was pathetic and dumb.

I don't really give a shite. Hopefully our players use the trash talk as motivation instead of being babies about it.

yeah nothing pumps you up like supposed fans of your own team jumping your arse.

So, you apparently agree that the people who direct harassing comments directly toward our players are low class douchebags, but simultaneously think that it's unreasonable to complain about such behavior. That's not consistent at all, which makes me think that you were actually trying to defend the people who made those comments.
