Posts being closed

[Shooterms]

I just looked back over the last 10 pages of posts (250 threads started total over the past two weeks) and only four of them were locked. So if a new thread is being closed every time you get on here, you must not be getting on much. I've told the mods pretty much anything goes after this disastrous season, but that doesn't mean there are a few exceptions.

If you all want to say "Fire Capel" or "Fire Joe C." or "Fire Boomer and Sooner" go for it. Heck, I've even insinuated in some posts a while back I wouldn't mind if Capel was fired. We've lightened our stance a lot since the end of the season so to sit here and act like we're ruling with an iron fist and locking multiple posts daily isn't right.

That being said, Cline is a truly stand-up and good guy and I've heard his departure is due more to personal stuff and being closer to home than issues at OU.

So, what you are saying is that hysterics over thread closings might be due to things like "jumping to conclusions" or exaggeration or hyperbole? Seems unlikely. I've never seen those things around here before, or on any message board, for that matter.

there have been some threads that i feel didn't warrant a lock, and some that weren't locked that should have been. but that poll served no purpose except getting into wild and unfounded speculations.

Thank you. Finally, someone who gets it.

In case some of you missed what I said when I locked the thread, I'll repeat it here:

Talk about Coach Cline leaving all you want. But we're not going to get into polls and potentially wild speculation and theory about his departure.

I knew what OUHoops had been told about why Coach Cline left when I made that statement. I have no idea if what he heard is true? But I do know that it would be terribly unfair to let a decent person like Mark get beat up, if he took the Marshall job to be close to his family again.

Am I the only one that really couldn't care less about this? The sun will rise tomorrow and we'll hire some new coaches. BFD.

And yes they can close whichever thread they want whenever they want an for whatever reason they want. Period.

Totally agree, lets move on.

I'll throw my 2 cents in.... I don't really care why he left and I'm not upset that he did.

Towards the middle of the season, I privately desired a couple of coaching changes and he was one of them.

With that said...bring in a defensive minded coach! The college game requires defense.

everytime i get on here a new thread is being closed...the last one being a poll on why our coach left...this is a fine question in my opinion and one that needs to be asked...capel has now lost 5 players this year alone and 2 coaches...

What are message boards for if you cannot express your opinion (just like every other message board, just like espn, just like announcers...ect)

lol certain people are closing threads way to quickly...next thing you know another coach leaves and we cannot say anything about it on here, silly.

Waaaaa...

who cares...this isnt your board or your rules...feel free to post on any other site if you dont feel this one allows you to express yourself the way you want too...

Mods, you do a great job here and through all of the issues this team and program has had this year it is amazing how this board is still a fun place to come too...

Some of you are beyond belief with the hand-wringing.
