This is true. I had him going Saturday, but I was nice and told him I was trolling. Because I'm such a nice guy.

Z loves him some Cuonzo and hates him some Bruce.

I respect Z's opinion and I like reading his recaps, but we disagree on a lot when it comes to coaches.

What was the troll?

You've been drinking haven't you? What's next, the obligatory "I love you, man". :lol:

Thanks but you give me far too much credit. Nevertheless, I'll just save this post for the next time you email me in a fit of rage about some moderating choice I made. :)

I have not been drinking, though I wish I had been.

"Fit of rage"? Really? Is that how I come across? Sorry if that's how it seems. Guess it all depends on perspective. I'm not always good at conveying myself in words.

And no, I don't give you too much credit. I don't always agree with your mod choices, but at least you're willing to address it. I can respect that running a site like this comes with a certain level of insanity. It must take patience to juggle the personalities you have to deal with, myself included.

I strongly dislike Bruce, but only because I find complete stupidity in the actions that led to his downfall. I have problems with people that don't admit they screwed up when they obviously screwed up. Imagine how different things would/could be if he had simply admitted to committing a secondary violation.

I think he's starting to lose the Zo love a little bit. After Percy Harvin got hit helmet to helmet I called the NFL soft. He started talking about protecting players, I kept pushing the soft thing. He was getting a little fired up. I finally said I was trolling, he said I should have kept going. Lulz

I was just kidding about the fit of rage. How about passionate, is that better?

I enjoy interacting with all the personalities for the most part. And while I appreciate the compliments, the site runs me more than I run it. :lol:

It's easy to become disgruntled with mods sometimes, I understand that. But most don't realize how much the moderators put into helping me out. From the outside looking in, it's hard to imagine some of the things we have to deal with behind the scenes on a daily basis, and just like everyone else, we have our good days and our bad days. But without them, this site crashed and burned years ago.

:hi:

His stupidity is indefensible, but Pearl admitted his screw up, just not as soon as one would have hoped. It was an absolutely idiotic thing to do and it cost Pearl his job and three+ years of his career. He'll be the first one to tell you, in hindsight, that he was a moron.

Awesome. :lol:

I really think Cuonzo is in over his head but he's not a bad coach. Unfortunately, he hasn't surrounded himself with very good assistants and I think that hurts him during the games.

In my defense Z has openly said he likes when I get mad and has been trolling my niners.

I'm sure you are a good sport about it. That's the difference between you and a lot of others.

I agree about Zo, the aggravating thing for me is the teasing of greatness followed by a total **** up of a game. He's pre game prep has gotten better, but in game adjustments are terrible. Basketball is my favorite sport so it frustrates me. The bball forum argues about us being a bubble team or not, honestly we shouldn't even be in that position. With this talent we should be playing for seeding. Rant over. Lulz

It's all in fun, haters gonna hate. Ask 95

My problem, if he hadn't been caught in the lie, he would have been perfectly content with the lie. In other words, if he hadn't been caught, he would have been okay with committing a major violation to cover a minor violation, thus jeopardizing our program. It just wasn't worth it.

He tried to cover up a screw up with a screw up and when that failed, he finally admitted he screwed up.

It's part of the game. He snitched on programs before we hired him and don't know what all goes on during recruiting till it forced into the media. I just miss his passion on the court. Martin sits on the bench with a towel sweating. Need more effort and the T A&M game was a total let down.

Bruce got reckless. If he had gotten away with the lie, he'd most likely have become more reckless. The more reckless he became, the more potential damage he could have caused the program.

Bruce doesn't regret that he lied and put his team at risk. Bruce regrets he got caught in that lie. He doesn't care that he screwed up, so admitting he screwed up means very little. What Bruce cares about is he got caught screwing up. If he could go back in time and change his decision, he probably would, but what would be his motivation? Would he do it because it was the right thing to do, or would he do it to save his own ass?

I don't know. I guess I have higher expectations of coaches than others. I understand every coach looks for that edge in recruiting. I understand other coaches routinely break the rules and fail to get caught. I understand it's a competitive business and your job rests on your W/L record. But I believe a HC should represent his university with integrity, and I strongly feel Bruce failed to do so. I can overlook having kids at your home when you're not supposed to, but I can't overlook lying about it. And I don't think Pearl regrets the lie, just that he got caught in it. That's a problem for me.

I probably just muddled the waters even more, but that's my take. Trust is big to me, and people who lie so easily disturb me.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Night all.

My first thread was just like every thread, which was just like sex for the first time and every time, satisfying, engaging, provocative, and all you would want out of 5 minutes of effort.

I have a lot of ex's that would've loved 5 minutes.
