You are probably right Bryce I'm sure I am being an ***, but put yourself in my shoes. I've been saying these things for months, and all I heard in response was a bunch of BS like:
Addition by subtraction.... Manginious, Wally the Wizard.... Paul the master motivator...
Nothing concrete was ever discussed in retaliation. It was all hypothetical BS. All anyone had to do was look at last season, look at the roster, and then look at this season. It was that simple. There were very few Cyclone fans who wanted to look at things logically, and this "holy **** what just happened?" feeling is where that gets you. I apologize for being this blunt about it, but seriously you should all know better than to get sucked into such crap. Rhoads and JP put lipstick on a pig last offseason. The Mangino hire was the big sell this past offseason. All of it has been a big distraction from the fact, and the fact is the coaching staff isn't that good. Rhoads isn't a head coach at this level. He hasn't been able to get good enough talent to Ames in order to compete, and he's struggled mightily to develop the talent that he does have.
It's very frustrating from my perspective when I've been saying these things and not a single person wanted to hear it.
As a veteran of message boards with about 10 years of experience, both as a legitimate poster and a troll I just wanted to quote this post so I could say I quoted one the funniest ******* posts ever in the history of message boards.
(The bolded section is especially hilarious.)
