The negative threads won't stop. They can't stop.
I do like the "ignore" feature but realize it is often undone when people insist on using "reply with quote". I hate that because it often forces me to read the stuff I'd rather ignore. I use the ignore feature to eliminate trolls and sky-is-falling mouth breathers from my view. There are lots of sky-is-falling mouth breathers right now. The offense and the team isn't as good as I had hoped so far, but after any loss or a win like the one we had this past Saturday, I always take a break from GopherHole to let the mouth breathers spew their stupid ideas, and complain. It just won't stop. It has gone on since long before I found this board. I just do my best to work around it and take a break when needed. It is too bad it is so difficult to have good discussions about the team's shortcomings here. I'd like to have a sane conversation about things like the offensive difficulties, suspect play calling, and the pattern of thin skin comments that are made by Kill when times get tough. Good topics to explore but unlikely ones to end in valuable discussion due to all the calls for firings, jerking QB's on every incompletion, etc. that accompany every Gopher loss (or win that isn't impressive enough).
I have seen enough this season to wonder if this team won't duplicate the previous two year seasons in wins. But, I'll be there to enjoy Gopher football either way, and I am hopeful big strides are made in the coming weeks to get the offense in gear. Meanwhile, I guess I will have to count tough times like this as a blessing as it allows me to more quickly identify those unrealistic mouth breathers for a trip to my "ignore list" shed.
