CPJ Theme Over/Under

[85Escape]

I'm curious what people think about how long it will take for 75% of the posts on this board to not devolve into a CPJ/Anti-CPJ pissing match. This includes accusations of others being pro/anti CPJ, innuendo that someone's opinion is less valid because they are clearly pro/anti CPJ, or any other childish behavior related to it.

208 weeks or longer

About a year. After a 9-4 season in which CGC wins ACC coach of the year, then pulls in a top 20 class, all will have seen the light and there will be peace on the board.

But then someone will say we would have won 10 running the option.

Not trying to be a party pooper but isn't this type of thread an indication of people not letting things go?

 

[85Escape]

Lol! No, it's an indication that we have WAY TOO MANY threads that turn into useless infighting. So, by being absurd, I was hoping to shine a light on that in a way that caused people to consider their actions. But if it offends someone's sensibilities please just delete it. I think I'm out.

I refuse to participate...DOH!

What can you do? At this point it doesn't seem to even be about CPJ anymore. It's more like a personal venom.

We gotta get our minds right. You save that kind of hate for U(sic)gA.

Making fun of those people for bringing up the past may be positive.

Lots of self fulfilling facts.
If the + - keeps going , there will be fewer threads and fewer people that are not - or +.
Then they just post short sentences or questions on one thread --- they approach 100% and one surrenders and we drop to absolute Zero
I am giving 5 weeks as my guess

It's going to take a while to purge the cult mentality that was developed here.

Given the comments in the thread already, I am taking the over

This. This is not helpful.

I suggest a simple test before you post:

1. Did your post support GT?
2. Are you hype?
3. Does your post support the current team and current staff?

I thought it was a funny idea for a thread fwiw.

It’s never too late for you to return to the fold and sanity.

People were comparing CPJ to CCG CGO his entire tenure. It definitely felt like more than 25% of posts eventually devolved that way. Hard to imagine our fan base will change that much.

 

[RickStromFan]

If we win more than 7 games, it'll be a version of "See? Look at how much better he did with the same players CPJ had!"
If we lose more than 5 games, it'll be a version of "He's gotta get his players in here first before we judge him."

It'll be the same stuff said about Gailey for the past 11 years - variations thereof.

Human beings are funny animals. Fans at all universities are about the same in that regard. I don't see GT fans as being all that different.

Zero is the chance of cgc ever getting a passing grade - to we like him - from the small hyper active group who see a trigger in every thread.

I was, in fact, expecting 9 or 10 wins with what we had coming back, conditional on Benson returning to health. I'd be surprised if we even sniff 6 wins next year, given that we are going through transitions on both sides of the ball. I've never believed in this "I adapt my offense/defense to the players" stuff from OC/DC types.

But I'd say a year too, no matter what. It's Coach's team now and it's up to him to make that work. Hope he does.
