OldTimer’s Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

Me too lol. I am the ultimate lurker. I just like getting tid bits of info here and there. This is almost my main news site for VOL stuff. And whenever I have something very limited to add I will try to be helpful. But that was clearly reaching for something to complain about. I think we all have to keep in mind these are college kids still, but to act like the baseball team are thugs sure is something. Have they made mistakes? Sure, what college kid hasn't? Especially when you are passionate about something. But it was clear this poster was just trying to be negative for the sake of being negative. IDK how good of an AD Danny will end up being (I personally think he has been great) but point to actual facts, not dislikes.
Lucy is nothing if not opinionated. 😇
 
Still can’t believe @knoxvol52 doubted me on this one last week..

If this message was coming from anyone other than me, I get that it would carry more weight. Many here don't like what I have to say about Kelli, but I have twenty years of experience in this industry and I have published academic research on organizational communication in some well known scholarly journals. That doesn't mean anything to you - I get it, but I'm telling you, this is a textbook case study in public relations. It is never a good thing when the AD goes silent and you're an embattled coach.
 
Right there with you! You can ask anyone in this baseball forum and they’ll tell you that I’m one of the last ones to make anything personal(just don’t ask @Volstylexx because he likes to make up lies about me, due to this whole thing with me and his sister...)and I always respect others opinions. I’m as laid back as they come but sometimes stupidity infuriates me and I can’t hold back.

🤣 I see you everywhere on tv but yet did not see you at Easter dinner. Carla was disappointed to say the least.
