re: On B/R: Why The NCAA Is Destroying Their Credibility and Integrity

Can I have you publicly say you will make an apology thread and say you are a homer when Lowder goes to FPMITAP and Auburn is struggling to keep accreditation?

bleacher report aside. thats a good write up

The content wasn't bad but the style and usage was pretty amateur. NTL, I think we all agree with the point of the piece. CFB is a mess...lack of institutional control on the part of the NCAA if you will.

I own the day Auburn's accredidation is endangered.

Yeah because it didn't happen six years ago for the same reasons we are bringing up today. Thanks man, but you'll probably need that money to prop your single wide up on some new concrete. I'll just take the apology.

Look forward to playing you guys next year in Dallas, should be really good.

And by the way, Cecil will probably get him a new double-wide with a concrete pad.

Help me understand

Some of you don't like Bleacher Report because anyone can write on it and they can pass along fiction as fact.

But at the same time, you guys like Tiger Droppings. You look at BlueTuna's thread as pass it along as fact, is that not fiction (some of it may be true, some of it may not be). It's yet to be proven fact

But the bottom line is, Bleacher Report or not, the article is a solid read.

I am still waiting for somebody to come out and discredit the actual article.

Take away from Bleacher Report all you want, but this article is good, and isn't a reflection on the satire and fiction that is sometimes on Bleacher Report.

What does that have to do with anything that is stated in the article?

If you can, please discredit anything that is writen in the article?

That is right, you can't.

Last time I check, this is a college football message board, what exactly did I do wrong other than post a link to a well-written article about college football.

amazing article. i think you should be running the NCAA alone because i think you know more than everyone on there combined and can get much more work done as well.

Since it's BR, hardly anyone on this forum will actually bother with the link...

but the fact is it's saying pretty much what all of us (perhaps excluding the barn homers here) are thinking.

There's a huge difference between TD and B/R. TigerDroppings is a message board and everybody knows that. People post and say whatever they want on here but people don't try to bullshite you and pass that off as actual journalism. That's where B/R goes wrong. Bleacher Report is exactly as it was described earlier in that it's a website where anyone who has an opinion and working knowledge of a keyboard can participate, but the people who run the site try to pass all of that off as some sort of objective journalism which is clearly bullshite.

We hate B/R because stupid people find links to B/R articles in Google searches (one thing they're good at is SEO... really, that's the name of their game, to post a bunch of shite that people will find on Google so they can make ad revenue), read them, think they're some sort of well-researched, nuanced, insightful pieces of journalism (when, really all they like about it is that the shitforbrains who wrote it said something that they agree with) and then post them on here with something like "check out this article I found!!11!"

Oh, and half of the stuff written on there is poorly written anyway.

Basically, Bleacher Report is bullshitting everyone by attempting to come off as some sort of legitimate source for news and analysis. Tiger Droppings doesn't do that. TD doesn't have an identity crisis nor does it try to make itself something it's not. This is a board to share news, express (dumb) opinions, talk a little shite, make fun of Renardo Sidney, etc.


ETA: And, if you say it is, then I'm sure the actual article itself is fine. Just know that a lot of folks on this board, myself included, don't read Bleacher Report articles out of principle for the reasons stated above. Deal with it.
