I will be more than happy to come to a tailgate, podcast, or barbeque and tell them my feelings straight to their faces.

That's not doing it directly either. The players won't be at a tailgate.

You yap like a little dog and talk more about your own bravado than anything of substance. Criticism is fine, there's a lot of room for improvement. But you don't seem interested in any sort of constructive conversation. Go beat your chest somewhere else.

My bravado is pointing out the facts. And its the facts that no one else wants to point out, but me. And if people cannot handle the facts, they are too soft and/or too sensitive. The roster has holes, we have lost 7 in a row, and our recruiting is still in the basement. These are not opinions, these are facts. And I am the guy that is going to reveal the truth because that is what I do.

That's not what you're doing. You're being a little troll ***** and I don't like it. You were criticizing BEFORE the first game. Now you only say "we lost 7 games in a row, our players are soft, wah, wah ,wah".

Say our secondary is suspect. Say our pass rush didn't get much push. Say our receivers are undersized and aren't getting separation. Say you don't think you saw Wilson make one really good pass on Saturday. Hell say our whole program is in the can if you want. But don't keep ******* doing it and making it about you you arrogant pissant. You're ruining the board for others. Take your Uncle Rico sideshow and weird obsession with the Monarchists somewhere else.

I mean, the VT/ODU boxscore is there for you to google if you do not believe the stats are real in regards to our sack numbers and pass yard totals. I am not making anything about me. Am I ruining the board for the good or for the bad? I guess if I am getting this kind of negative reaction from someone, I must be ruining their personal propaganda and spoiling their koolaid. I'll just take that as a win on my part.

Yep - this is what I was getting at.

That is what my seat is for at SB Ballard. And I sit close enough to where I am in shouting distance.

I'm sure those around you love being seat neighbors.

I do not care what my seat neighbors think of me. Some like my shouting, some do not. But I could really care less of what they think. You win some, you lose some.

And let's be real here, by the end of September alone, we could have just 1 win and 10 losses in 11 games. The fans need to open their eyes and brains and see this. I am not trying to be a prophet here, but there is a high probability that this can happen. I hope I am wrong, but yes, that contributes to my "attitude" because people fail to realize the FACTS on here with this program.

It's funny, I haven't seen anyone on here, including the Monarchists (who do at times, in my OPINION, have too rosy of an outlook), claim we didn't have personnel deficiencies. I haven't seen anyone state that they are happy with the FACT that this program has lost seven games in a row. I think a lot of people on here agree with you that we want, and expect, to see more improvement than we have. It's just that most of us don't feel the need to be all bent out of shape over it. Life, in fact, does go on, regardless of the results of 12 Saturdays a year.

Sure, life does go on. But when is the losing going to stop? When is the dark cloud going to disappear over this program? I feel like the time for "ROSY" went out the window after BW's last season. Our program is on the fringe right now. We have been leapfrogged by everyone around us, even including JMU who is new to FBS. This program needs to get to the level of App St, Liberty, Boise St, Western Michigan and make bowl games consistently every year or every other year. There is no reason why ODU cannot get to that level. We should not be having 3 win, 4 win, 1 win seasons consistently.

I agree with this part. But you have to give RR and the team some time and let it all play out. We just lost to VT. Are you really surprised by that? It was a tight game until the second half fumbles. There were some decent things to take away from that game and some reason for hope. If Louisiana comes to Norfolk and beats us by 20 then your arguments have more weight. But give the team a chance. Its basically a new team this year. And even if it is another 2 or 3 win season, RR will likely be back next year as this is only his fourth (3rd of playing) season. He'll get one more try IF, this year is a bust. Its too early to tell, and too early for this level of frustration.

I am not going to sell my soul until Ls turn to Ws. We could end the month of September with only 1 win. I am tired of woulda coulda shoulda. RR has stated how we "missed out on opportunities" in so many post game press conferences now. After a while, the same message becomes stale and things need to change. I am expecting responses against Louisiana from the secondary, offensive, and defensive lines. That includes more sacks, better blocking, and not getting beat deep on long balls. I want at least 5 sacks this Saturday and a forced turnover from the defense.

The Monarchists need to sell tickets to the RallyFox’s appearance at their tailgate, because whewwww boy that’d be entertaining! Also . . . W T F ?

You really think anybody gives a rats ass about what you want? I believe we all get it. You're frustrated, angry, and ready for a change. OK, so you believe the world revolves around you. It does not. You seem like one of those "special" fans who wants everyone to believe you're the ultimate fan because you care more than anyone else. We have all seen this before, and it is a tired, boring act. Get over yourself.

The world does not revolve around me. However, if this program has a heartbeat and a pulse, a response is needed. I do not consider myself a special fan at all. I do not try to brainwash others with hokey propaganda. I do have expectations of this team. Shouldnt all fans have those? I do not think I am different there from anyone else. I just state what needs to happen in order for us to progress and get better.

You haven't stated what needs to happen for us to get better that I have seen. You instead have called players soft, which they are not, and if you knew anything about what the players go through just to compete at this level, you would not have made such an outrageous statement.

Therefore I am closing this thread for lack of redeeming content
