Again, if this were some run of the mill, "I'm worried about the state of things" thread (of which there were plenty) you'd have a better point. This, however, was not a run of the mill thread. This was the pinnacle of nonsensical hyperbole. THAT is why it was bumped. Because that level of silliness needs to be ridiculed.
As far as "fairness" is concerned. Nobody ever forced anyone to put fingers to keyboard and declare that the sky was falling. Desiigner put his (screen)name on it, as did everyone else. If a poster is so concerned about people pointing out when they were wrong, then don't post in the first place. Otherwise, it pretty much comes with the territory on message boards, so just deal with it.
Yeah, you did, I'll give you props for keeping an even keel. I thought we were in deep trouble.
Holy cow you sound like Tuco in the other thread a couple of days ago. Let it go.
This where all the level headed posters are bragging about not acting ridiculous? This was from January 19th. Guess I'm pretty awesome too
Yep, I'm somewhere in the thread saying I was officially judging him due to how bad the WV game went, and how things looked for personal, rotation, etc., and how he wasn't acting on things in the moment very well...he's even talked about it after the KSU game in regards to Young, etc. I think in both seasons he's had some form of 'this is my call' moment at a crucial time and it's paid off.
Also, it's hard to tell how much real buy in there was in December or January, but all indications are that it's occurred the past 2-3 weeks.
Whatever he's doing currently is working, because it was a year ago that ISU was also playing probably their best.
I let it go along time ago, had completely forgotten about this thread until someone had to dig it up after last nights game.
Almost every bracketology site had us in the tournament at that point. It was never as bad as some made it seem
So much win in this thread...
Glad he corrected things. Things were NOT GOOD mid season and I will absolutely stand by that. Anybody that lived through the dark ages (McDermott) should realize we don't take the magic for granted.
People who lose their **** over how a sports team performs really deserve to have it brought back up later when the sky doesn't fall.
In theory they should learn from it.

This thread should win an award for sporting the stupidest ******* title ever. And when I say ever, boy do I mean EVER!!!!! Holy ****
Things were not good, but even in the good seasons there were mid-season slumps. It never failed, the sky was falling, the team was lazy, heroball, students and old people are killing Hilton, on and on. Yet things were never as bad as CF seemed to think.
Can we just get the "see Prohm can only win with Fred's players" threads out of the way now? Better yet, the Prohm is dumb because he "chose" Carter over Ernst threads every time Ernst goes for 6 and 4 for Xavier.
