Ok Jim, I know you are reading, I see several very flip messages here by folks who don't get it. Have no idea why you are in the top 10 flagged.

I supposed decency, with a good sense of humor doesn't go over well.



Hope you make it back here, several of us look forward to reading your good natured ribbing, and unique sense of humor. These boards certainly need that.

I would guess that Milli Vanilli is responsible for a majority of those flags
No, he only flags Mothra.

Maybe. But Ashley or Brian mentioned that most users read but near post. Don't underestimate the silent army at Baylor that disapproves but doesn't want to get publicly involved.

No kidding. Start a thread and reveal who all has flagged who and watch the world burn.
The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order.

It would be a disappointment not to be on a list with our true friend and loyal Baylor brother.
Arizona State has USC this week. Ought to be big day on weekly update/ robe touching thread. Haven't checked on FAU but I am sure they ll have more competition than North Texas band's football team.
The robe will be flagging.

80-90% of the community don't post on the board.

Jim admits he went over the line in his post and he got the 1 day ban. It usually lets a good poster calm down instead of hammering the keys. You'd laugh if you knew some of the others that have received it as well. Good friends of mine have had a 1 day ban when they lose their head. But some need more time to collect themselves and will get it here or elsewhere.

Perhaps he's gotten the message that sending henchmen to coerce victims and their families out of pressing charges is wrong. I'm hopeful he will see the light.

HEX TEX! HEX TEX! HEX TEX!

"To be, or not to be- that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die- to sleep.
To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause........"

HEX TEX! HEX TEX! HEX TEX!
Retreat Hell! We just got here! The 2/5

Please present this evidence. I'd genuinely like to see the evidence, not online reporting but actual proof.

Otherwise, don't slander someone.

it's ok. we never had fans anyways until about 2009-10 ish.

You must be new or a paid troll. Bf had the most ravenous fans who were and are loyal to the program and the university. We sat through Roberts, steale and Morris. I sat in the stands when corn put up 49 in the first quarter. I And so many former bf posters paid our money and dues going to games, organizing watch parties when we had to pay insane POV prices because we were so bad no bar would carry the game unless we ponied up. Your user name says it all. Many of us kept the faith and spent our money. We saw and paid for the dark times. We don't want to go through that again. That is one of the many reasons this abortion called the process pisses us off. We've been to this rodeo and it sucks

Now go die in a fire
You're kidding...? Thanks for the threat, but you're completely insane if you think any of those things you listed are unique to us here in Wacko.

I'm assuming you're one of the fans that think this is all a big conspiracy against CAB too?
No I don't think this is a conspiracy against Briles. I do think that the situation was handled piss poor. We were becoming a big time program with a board and fixers playing the off the field game like an fcs school.

And that wasn't a threat. It was a request.
Sorry didn't mean to trigger you.

Jim, I did everything that I could
But your fever just wouldn't die down
So I tied your horse to the wagon bed
And last night I brought you to town.

But when I got there you were gone Jim
And there was nothin' nobody could do
I bought you a suit and a tie Jim
And today I wore one too.

Jim I wore a tie today
The first one that I ever wore
And you'd have said I looked like a dummy
Out of a dry goods store.

Jim they said a lot of things
But I don't know a thing they said
My mind kept wanderin' off down the trail
Back to the times that we've had.
(Wind her through sun and the rain)
And for gold on the cuff
We've done everything in the book I guess
And a lot they'd never thought up.

Well Jim, you're ridin' on ahead
I guess that's how it has be
But when you reach those streets paved with gold Jim
Stake a claim out for me...

After having some time to reflect and think after my 24 hour vacation this weekend, it is with a heavy heart that the time has come for me to say goodbye. We certainly now have a kinder and gentler brand of football at Baylor and I guess the same thing can be said for the message board. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The only thing for sure in this life is that things are gonna change. I have certainly always been opinionated, sometimes crude, and a little rough around the edges. It was certainly never my intent to "attack", bruise egos, or hurt anyone's feelings. For anyone that I have over all these years, I sincerely apologize. This applies to friends and foes. I have known many of you for sixteen years since signing up on baylorfans way back in 2001. In my opinion, different viewpoints are always healthy and most everyone here always seemed to have the ability to "get mad and get over it."

I realize my anger and frustration over the killing of our football program has led to my undoing. I hope Matt Rhule can get us back to where we need to be, -I am pulling for him. More than anything, I hope our beloved Baylor University is able to somehow make changes necessary to once again bring honor and integrity back to our school. I want us to once again set the example and be everything that a Christian institution should be.

Lastly, I want to thank Brian, Colt, and Ashley for my time here. Special thanks to Jason Stewart! We have had us some good times!

Best of luck to each and every one of you. Life is short. Play hard. And don't forget each day is a precious gift. Take Care and SIC 'EM BEARS!

The moderators on this site are exponentially better than the ones on BaylorFans. Jim should have been banned a long time ago. Now let's return to the topic of football!!! Enough with this talk about a former poster.

well that was very sweet and I almost cried but didn't! You need to get yourself back on here and share opinions. I'm older than you and I'm sure I'm wiser. lololol This to will pass. You just a need a break! You and your sweet family enjoy the rest of the year and watch our Baylor Girls's Basketball team. Baylor want give up and neither should you. Love you 80's Bear.
I like that you two can disagree and remain so nice to each other. You both are great examples.
