The "Outrageously Idiotic Past the Point of Comprehension" Statements Thread

The problem comes when you piss in everyone else's cheerios. You may consider yourself a fanatic, but your fanaticism doesn't trump someone else's. When people are pumping sunshine and feeling happy & giddy about the team, it is not incumbent upon anyone, nor is it an infringement of your enjoyment of the team, that you refrain from dumping your version of "reality" on the situation.

If people want to pump sunshine, let them. There's no merit or greater honor, you are not a greater fan, you are not doing anyone any favors, by constantly reining them back in, pumping the brakes, reminding them of problems.

You shouldn't eat Cheerios. Rice Chex is a far superior product.

I mean this is bordering on "you don't get to have an opinion on this team that isn't consistent with everyone else's". I'm well aware I can't stop people from pumping sunshine, but saying I can't offer up my opinion on why we probably should not start complaining about how we are going to be screwed out of the playoff after beating a not so good FAU, well that crosses the line into borderline delusion.

And I haven't once said I was a better fan then any sunshine pumper here. However, the inverse has been true several times.

This board was never like that before. It was a pretty good place to discuss the inner workings of the NU teams. I remember the Callahan teams getting picked to pieces, even the two years that had lots of optimism. This new stance of "this is for positivity first and foremost" is new, and it calls to other troubling issues that I'm beginning to harbor about Nebraska football.

Either way if that wasn't directed at me I apologize.

 
Who would have thought, NUpolo took the "Outrageously Idiotic Past the Point of Comprehension" thread on a tangent.

Before? Before what? I've been a member since 2007, lurked here for about a year before that. This board hasn't changed in tenor much, if at all, and there is no bizarre conspiracy to force everyone to be positive. Bo's PR team isn't secretly behind HuskerBoard, manning the puppet strings.

The policy of this board has never been "you can't say negative things."

What's with the weird fixation with NUpolo?

He's an insufferable cancer that infects every thread, and somehow the rules don't apply to him. I wouldn't call it a fixation, just disease that constantly reminds you it is there. You know, like herpes.

You know, the really weird thing is, I have a very strong suspicion that you two would like each other if you met. Having met you both, I'd say you're pretty similar guys. Both pretty cool, know your stuff, and seem pretty friendly.
