An extremely personal and important message to all of you guys

That's right Sabres! You need to do well in school so you can find a job where you sit in front of the computer all day and post all the time while at work like the rest of us. ;) :D
yeah, it's no coincidence that's most of our posts happen to occur during work hours. :D

Grades though, will only get you that first interview for your first job. After that, people don't give a rats arse about grades. I don't remember the last time I saw a GPA on a resume that wasn't from a newly graduate. After that first job, the only thing anyone cares about is if you have the "right" experience for the particular job.
 
Sabres,

If you aren't doing well in class then why are you on here all the time posting? You should spend more time studying and don't worry about posting on here all the time. We all have other things to do and heck, on the weekends I hardly post on here at all because I am so busy with other things, like my girlfriend ;).

I often wonder when I'm here at 2 or 3 in the morning and Sabers is also here.

Dude you need to get some sleep.

He's got a good point, Sabres....You're single (I'm assuming) on a college campus (I'm assuming). The next time in your life when you'll be surrounded by 100s of young, attractive, single ladies is........never (unless you become a professor :)) Take advantage!!
 
As a staff member, ramy shouldn't be slamming you for any Kentucky comments. That's akin to "assault under cover of authority".

I absolutely don't do that and all the other posters on here can confirm that. The only reason I lashed out was because of how he said it. I don't get mad when someone says my teams suck or play bad or whatever because most of the time they do :D.

i can confirm this :yes

I admit, I wasn't happy at the time of the idea.

When I did my soul-searching, that coincided with when he officially ended up getting the job, and if you check towards the latter part of the Calipari/Memphis thread, I was more accepting of it.

When coaches make moves from a little-school to a big-time school, I am not pleased with it initially, but as times goes on, I'll get used to it.

It's not an anti-Kentucky bias I have- it's an "I feel bad when the smaller schools lose their coach to the big-name school" thing.
 
Guys, I waited until after the second national semifinal was over (congratulations to North Carolina, BTW- here's to their game with Michigan State on Monday being better and more conpetitive than the one in December) before I posted this.

I didn't want to derail your attention from the game- it's more important than what I have to say, but I wanted to get something off my chest.

I have a lot of emotions on me and I need to pour them out so I can things off my stomach that have been boiling over recently.

This is not an attempt to garner sympathy- this is me giving you the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Since I joined this site, I have had a lot of fun (and always enjoy coming here), but lately, I'm making attention for all the wrong reasons.

I have been screwing things up on here since late March- I've alienated Bill, one of my buddies (I'm not going to badmouth you at all- I would never stoop to that level) and my opinions are drawing more ire these days, and I got on Ramy's nerve by being critical of his beloved Kentucky.

Bill, you have every right to be mad at me and put me on ignore.

Let me say- I have strong opinions on teams, but one thing I would NEVER do is badmouth any site members.

Guys, I'm not perfect- when two teams play others and the team I root for does not win, I won't be happy about it and, recently, it's gotten me in hot water.

I have my flaws, but truth be told, I've got some problems that go beyond this site- I am trying to lose some weight (something I've struggled with my entire life- I'm not joking), I got a really bad score on my recent science test, and I have a semester that includes five very draining classes.

The classes and grades are contributing to something I can admit and will not deny- my posts and their meaning taking a turn for the worse.

(If you were ever to meet me in right life, I am a bit different from my online alter-ego. I talk big on here, but personally, I'm real sensitive and do admit to being emotional.)

Something that is as just as important to me as seeing a team I want to see win win.

I want to be the poster I know I am, but by doing so, I have been doing more bad things that good.

But, as I said before, I am NOT going to leave this site- not now, not ever. I don't believe in quitting- after all, quitters never win, and I don't want to be a quitter- that's not the type of person I am.

I'm going to fight my way through this for I know there this is a light at the end of the tunnel, and hopefully, it'll save me before I burn myself out and alienate everyone on this site forever.

You guys are like brothers to me (or, in Sandra's case, like a sister)- BillD, anders, uncrules, Wozniak, mccoy, cybok, hancox, HDMM, SkyHi, cjwct, mets82, rey, The_Insider, Salsadancer, Black_Hitachi, russ from rhody, boomer, Iceberg, and anyone else that I forgot to mention. I care so much about you guys!

Still, I am not saying you have to forgive me for my bad actions. You are entitled to your own rights, as am I. If you want to ignore me- you have every right to. I am not going to deny you the rights that you have.

I am NOT going to do any more soul-searching and take time off- rather, I'm going to post less if I am not in the greatest of moods. If I'm feeling good, I'll be able to post more. If I'm not or busy, then there may be nights when I don't post frequently on here.

As god as my witness, I am never, ever going to give up. I'm going to keep getting up and trying again.

Now, I'm going to get a good night's sleep- I'll see you guys tomorrow.

For now, good night.

Dude, first off, go out and get yourself the biggest freaking steak you can find, and have a good meal. Next, go out and tie one on. After you sober up, start cracking the books, that is what you're spending thousands of dollars on right now - protect your investment. Last, next semester cut back to 4 classes. I did five one semester, It was just too much. I did the minimum to get my A's, but I came away with little knowledge of the subjects. As for here - remember this - Quality over quantity.

Yeah, the one reason I have so many posts is because I have been here pretty much since the beginning.
