ShockerManiacs Screwing the Die-hards over.

I think there are actually two separate issues smashed into one **** sandwich on this thread right now. One is the non-issue of “intellectual property” theft; the other is the very real issue of this kid being a whiney and entitled little *****.

First, no one would have a problem if students showed up with that FredEx sign to the game. In fact, most of us were asking if not begging students to make this sign. That is the entire point of the thread! Most of us threw out ideas, some better than others, with the intent they be made into signs. Me personally, I would be thrilled if a student showed up with one of my ideas on a sign.

The real issue is that this fan, as dedicated and passionate as he is, acted like spoiled little ****, and then got his way. Instead of embracing the sign challenge and making something positive out of the situation, he contacted the local news and cried about on air, making us all look bad. In life when presented with a problem you can attack it and embrace the challenge or take a defeatists attitude and cry about it. He did the latter, and it wasn’t pretty. Furthermore, there was a veiled attempt to make this about the team and “superstition”, as if the team gives a **** where he sits. In reality it’s all about him and what he feels he is entitled to, nothing to do with what would be for the betterment of the athletic department, fellow fans, or the team.

Lastly, a fellow poster with the means to do so helped him out. It pissed people off to see someone get rewarded for this behavior and thus the backlash. The “idea” theft is just an easy thing to point at, when the behavior is the real issue.

Damn, I went on too long there. My apologies.

Well put

I finally watched the video clip. Just....wow.


Be a man, quit complaining, and enjoy the game this afternoon. Good grief.

My question is, how did they spend 4-5 hours discussing what they wanted to do for the game??

Seems like it should only be a 10-15 minute discussion.

I tend to agree.
