Successful people have a positive outlook

[bocabull]

To the people out there continuously criticizing Capel, saying how bad we are, calling Cameron Clark a bust, repeating over and over how many games they think we will lose, predicting an 0-16 Big XII record, etc.

You are either trolls or losers. The constant criticism does not reflect as poorly on Capel or OU basketball as it does you. You won't hear a successful person pointing out and repeating negative views day after day. Losers do that. It is a reflection on you. You do not expect to win in life.

Everybody knew this year was a total rebuild because we had 4 McDonalds AAs who are gone. 1 who underperformed a bit and 2 who were disasters. Capel is a winner. Always has been always will be and he is already well on the way to fixing that specific problem.

Love the name calling. Very productive.

We weren't that good last year for the same reasons we aren't that good this year. We don't look that well coached.

What a joke. I am as successful as I need to be and more. Quite happy that I get out of bed every day and kick ass. Loser my ass. I have won more sales awards for fortune 500 companies than you have fingers. You are way off your rocker boca.

Your statement is correct. Successful people are for the most part positive people. Constantly being negative creates a self fullfilling prophecy for those that are negative, thus all the arguing on the board.

boca's tone may have been a bit harsh, but I re-read it a few times and I don't see anything in it that is offensive. Perhaps it touches nerves in people, but OP is talking about constant negativity and pessimism. That is, in fact, not a recipe for success in much of anything.

 

[StoopsBros]

FYI, I'm not calling boca dumb just the thread itself.

Let's all rejoice about how great the basketball team is & have a kumbaya!!This board had nothing but Sunshine Pumpers on it all summer & those same pumpers now are backtracking as fast as they can..Go Sooners!!!!!!!!!!

So winners are people that get on sports message boards and tell people that they arent winners if they dont think good things about about OU college basketball?

Interesting....

This thread is going to get real interesting. I'm attentively watching it.

Oh and someone define success. The OP may define success as money while others hold different things in higher regard (family/etc). Interesting indeed.

I've been as positive as one can reasonably be throughout that losing streak. However, flame posts like Boca's serve no constructive purpose.

 

[sooner8]

No,winners are something that have teams to brag about!!Losers just complain.Right now most OU fans are conplaining!!Go Sooners!!!!!!!!

So calling people on here trolls or losers is ok?


Winners hate to lose and not make excuses when they do, they get up without brushing the dirt off. Boca's post could not be farther from the truth in this context.

I am in sales and am a proven winner and always stay positive. My feelings about Capel underachieving has nothing to do with that. It is me calling a spade a spade. When the glass is half full or half empty it's always have full. When the glass is empty, it's empty. This team, coach and program has an empty glass (and empty arena).

Losers make excuses and winners say, "Deal the cards again!"

 

[seniorsooner]

This thread has a very positive outlook.

I'm a deadbeat loser. I wish I had some internet fweinds.

 

[htownSOONER]

Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and smash the prom queen!
