Thanks, David. I had forgotten softball started this early. I was not familiar with girls’ softball until my daughter played from Jr. High through High School and in a summer league. I thought parents could get upset at my son’s baseball games, but some of the girls’ softball parents could take it to a new level. Overall it was an enjoyable experience for me as a parent.
We now have a better overall record and better SEC record than MSU. In fact, we have a 3-2 winning record in the SEC. I think a lot of MSU fans believed they would run us out of the gym. It did look that way at first, but to the team’s credit, they fought back and took home the W.
People over there are reacting like Neal burned down the Lyceum. He made a comment in the heat of a moment that he admits he should not have made and wishes he could have back (all stated in his apology). Some posters are acting like the bloodthirsty crowds in the Roman Coliseum or the judges at the Salem witchcraft trials. Bottom line: Neal should not have made the comment, and posters should put down the torches and pitchforks.
I applaud David for setting up this board and running it as a civil board. Some boards have let personal attacks and name-calling outweigh content and information.
Surveys repeatedly showed that a majority of listeners did not approve of “Shock Jock” Howard Stern’s antics and content, but they watched him anyway. The reason: They wanted to see what he said next. I think that’s why some posters stay on such message boards. They want to see what certain obnoxious posters say next.
