[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 70479, member: 231"] MBob seems to be a pretty level-headed AD, no complaints here. I have made it clear before that I don't understand advertising negativity as it is so clearly counter-productive. I was at a certain game where a QB made a timid run to the sideline and way too easily coughed up a fumble at a critical point in what ended up a loss. A woman in front of me turned to tell me (we had not spoken at all prior) that if she "never saw another option offense again it would be soon enough" to which I responded "if I never see a so-called pro offense again it will be soon enough." Of course, the fumble had nothing to do with the play call (I think it was play action pass anyway, as in a "pro" play) or the offensive philosophy overall but was a terrible individual play by a QB. I actually do not particularly care [I]what[/I] offense is run by the team I root for; the decision on offense is not mine to make and requires expertise. I am a Falcons fan as well so have two quite different offenses to follow in football. I can even be a fan of Matt Ryan despite the pain I felt at his destruction of Tech when at BC. But the vitriol and strongly irrational opinions of those who full-on despise option football does tend to make me more defensive of it. I am not really as much defensive of an offense or even a particular coach though as I am defensive of the team I root for. My point in responding to her contrariwise was more about suggesting "why the flip did you feel compelled to tell a stranger (albeit another Tech fan) how much you hate the offense? Particularly when offensive scheme is not to blame for what just set you off." Was she looking for moral support? Maybe someone can start support groups for people who hate CPJ or option football. But [I]at least [/I]she vented in the heat of the moment and not on public forums that Tech's recruits visit. Misery loves company and miserable people have this urge or compulsion to make their misery public. However, doing so is immature, illogical, counter-productive, and just plain pathetic. It is far better to try and be slow to criticize and then to do so in appropriate places, times, and ways. MBob is right that Tech has nothing to be ashamed of in how it handles its business academically or athletically. This pride should be put more on display as it is enticing to others and thus beneficial and productive. [/QUOTE]
