    You see the impact trolls like Okeechobee Joe have? We spend all of our time talking about him. That's what they want.

    Because I forgot to say how much I respect the job Napier has done. Kids are making grades, we aren't reading about them in the papers, and they play hard for the team. That's hard to accomplish.

    Kudos to Napier for building the kind of culture we can be proud of.

    When the mods stopped moderating I started using the ignore feature.

    But I still have to watch a lot of people arguing with, and about, trolls.

    If you don't have the self discipline to ignore trolls then please the ignore feature.

    In general, I think the "ignore" option is kind of dumb. If someone is posting stupid stuff, I rather enjoy telling them so.

    But...in the case of Okeechobee Joe, since the mods won't shut him down, maybe we should all revolt and put him on ignore. Perhaps then he would go away.

    But how would we know?

    I like having players that are academic athletes. I’m not saying be a Harvard but it shows other signs of discipline for off the field. Our players sound eloquent in press conferences. Brain smarts carry over to the game, and maybe it costs us a little in recruiting?, while there’s certainly players out there that you can just run the Forrest Gump offense with.

    UNC basketball should have had a title taken away for giving grades for classes that never met. They didn’t have to because non athletes could also enroll. What a bunch of garbage and now their new coach is a known cheater. I appreciate this news.

    It's probably better to ignore the thread rather than the troll..Since it's happening on many threads, eventually I'm having 2nd thoughts about participating at all in this website. I can only come to the conclusion he is sanctioned to participate, which is giving me serious doubts after all these years to remain here. IMO, it's becoming a cesspool.

    It really isn’t. It’s one guy. I didn’t like the heavy overreaction posts that flooded this board earlier in the season. But I understood their frustration. The vast majority have come around since. It’s really just a few boneheads …maybe, one in particular, that some threads go sideways with reach for attention.

    Id trade a team 2.5 and Nattys all day long.
    I care about Baughs GPA as much as I care how much Shands Dr's bench.
