just trying to raise the level of discussion on this board ---been hinting at this for quite a while now
I am not a monitor or moderator ---and don't want to be. Use your posting privileges how you wish.
[As an example of what I am talking about, what purpose would it serve for me to start a thread now on this board to point out the poor football results of MSU for the last 3-4 years? Such has already been discussed on the board at some point. It is certainly not new information. The MSU fans/supporters on this board agree and don't accept such results as the best MSU can do. They want and expect better. So, the only possible purpose such would serve would be trying to "pile on" or "flame" or irritate, etc. ]
I would much rather read about an MSU insider's opinion/information re what specific plans Croom and staff have to improve the program, number of wins, etc. Ditto UM and its plans to improve. These are just a couple of examples.
"Piling on", while being a "master of the obvious" doesn't really qualify as real analysis. Take a risk, and tell us something we don't know, or your take on something that may not be obvious or is not being discussed ad nauseum. Nothing wrong with opinions and expressing them with some analysis to back it up. We all turn out to be wrong at times.
Yes, UM sucked in football and basketball this year. This has been discussed. This is universally agreed upon by all UM fans on this board, and gleefully concurred with by all rival fans.

It is what it is ---- a big ol pile of cow dung. What is done is done and is now history. The real question is : will things be any better in the fall of 2006?
