George will find a way to argue with anyone, on any post. I truly believe he's on a fishing expedition at all times You mean drunk, crazy with heatstroke, and cantankerous because the fish aren't biting? Yeah, I get that. |

No, "never disappoints". One should know what they are dealing with when they engage. He never fails to be who he is. One should not be surprised. Refer to the common definition of insanity.

I tend to disagree strongly in baseball and basketball (and even then, he pumps out some great scheme stuff every once in awhile), but I have personally found George's takes in all other areas are generally pretty solid. He tends to be too down on baseball and basketball. (I remember him badmouthing Larnach during the 2018 National Championship season, just as an example.) Things are not as bad as he tends to make them out to be in those two sports. And they probably are not as good as I tend to make them out to be. But I will give it to George that he plays the heal well. |

RGeorge, may I say this with all respect, you are a contributor and I enjoy reading your comments. I will take the liberty of speaking for myself and a few other posters. I think we understand "potential", "unproven". "speculative", "untested", and all of those other descriptive adjectives we see posted when discussing anything beyond last year. We get the point, you are not the only person with a keen eye for the obvious. If we couldn't talk about the next game, next year or any recruiting class, we would be restricted to discussing our last game, last season, and OSU baseball history. That would severely limit our fun, restrict our speculation, imagination, and dreams. Any conversation about the future would be verboten because it is unproven.. This board should be a topical mix of what has happened, what will happen and what we think might happen. Rather than your constant reminders to "temper" our enthusiasm with those constant "Doubting Thomas" caveats we see, why not develop a boiler plate reminder leading into your posts - something like, " What can go wrong, will go wrong", or "there's no half with the glass, it's empty". When I get stoked about some kid that throws 100 mph and he just committed to the Beavs. I don't need to read that a) he hasn't thrown an inning of college ball yet, b) his secondary stuff might not be good enough or c) his arm might fall off, or some other "rain on my parade" comment. . . . you're bringing me down, man. Yes! I hate it when people say things like “how about we let the coaches decide” or “just worry about the next game.” That’s what the players and coaches should we’re fans speculating, predicting, hopeful is what it’s about. It’s for fun that’s why people enjoy being fans. No one knows what will happen and that’s why underdog stories are fun. Relax! |
