Does anyone know why....80s Bear felt the need to post an "I quit" anthem?

I am not clear on this one.

Is it simply because he cannot take the fact that our fan base has returned to being a limp wristed society?

hope you stick around Jim, I liked your posting. Keep up the good work Ashley, Colt and Brian. No reason for the inmates to run the asylum around here. Baylor should be a beacon of light out there. We will rise again.
The past is last! Be a champion today!

You know, you could tell people "sorry" and walk away. Or you could show people "sorry" and stick around and just dial it back a little. We all go overboard -that's life. Especially when you're passionate.

That's why God invented Grace. It's not really reconciliation if you just say you're sorry and leave. Anyone can do that. You don't even need grace for that. The REAL challenge is to stick around and do the work. Try. Push. Grow. Use grace when you have to.

We all suck sometimes, dude. We're all Baylor Bears. We need to stick together.
In other words, "Stick around and conform." Premium pomposity at its finest.

80'sBear RD2... you get it. You understand who the real villains are in our misery. You understand that resistance and voting with the pocket book is the best path for improvement and maybe the only one. You understand Texas football and winning football.

We need more of people like you not less. Blind support for below average will deliver us just that.

But if you need to move on, then so be it. But I think you should change your mind.

Are you reading this 80s bear?

Come back when you're ready to grow some balls and be a man, you *****!

Until then, go hide in the towels section of bed bath and beyond and wait for the missus to TELL YOU when you can leave.

The rest of us will be stirring **** up.

when I clicked on one of PAID TROLL cinque's trot line hooks, my window's Ghostery extension went into action like a Patriot missile battery next to the Gaza strip, blocking sixteen INTRUSION BOTS...

I fear Jim may already have been compromised... I saw Vlad, on a Lake McQueeny boat house dock, doing what curiously resembled push ups, on the bottom side of a Hillary look alike blow up doll....

One of the two or three good guys. Usually wrong on politic board but was never offensive.

You guys are keeping the wrong posters.

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!

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.

Come back Mr. Ward.
Keeping the wrong posters? Sounds like he was given a very brief time out and now he is taking his ball and going home. Nobody is making him leave.

He announced that he was leaving Baylorfans 5 times in May, 7 times in June and 4 times in July. He's said in at least 17 posts here that he was leaving. He's posted almost 2,000 times in less than 3 months. He ain't going anywhere. This is his social outet. He will 100% be back here, whether under this name or another. Like pretty much everyone else here, he's addicted. I like the old coot. He's funny as heck. I don't take any offense to what he says. He's the poster child of the negative old guy yelling at kids to get off his damn lawn, which is funny in and of itself.

You are so right! He's a good old coot. Wait, I'm older than him. Oh well, we'll not talk about that. ha

I don't think I've ever responded to you prior to this. It just suddenly struck me how disappointing it is to lose a long time poster that showed good humor and loved Baylor, but we have to keep your pathetic ass.

You are a cool guy and a decent man with a good sense of humor. I remember watching the Rice game with you and we were so excited because we were about to score 70. We've gone from that to watching folk celebrate a close loss to Wva. Rough

I know you love our school and like many of us it kills you to see whats happening

Such a broken world we live in, and now this...a grown man baring his soul over why he'll no longer be posting on a message board. I just don't think I can take much more. Let's all meet for gelato and share our feelings.
