Great post Glide - I knew there was a reason you were one of my favorite posters! I agree with you completely. Yeah, we have to deal with some jerks and trolls (including from our own fanbase) every now and then, but it adds to the overall experience that the good ones get through.
We got our butts kicked, and if the UT people that want to remind us feel they need to do it, let 'em do it. It's worth it for all of the good people that have come around.
What I don't like - and what really offended me - is when someone tries to come to my house and tell me how I'm supposed to live in my own house. You want to come to my house and say "scoreboard!" or all of the other insults about our team, our performance, our fans, whatever, that's your prerogative. I don't have to like it, but it's part of the experience of having this board and being a college football fan. I can live with it. Just don't try to tell me how to react when I'm disappointed about my own team.
Oh, and if the poop story at the hotel is true, I want those a-holes outed. I don't care if they wear the same purple as me, those people are an embarrassment to humanity.
