Actually, I am removing what I originally said to just include the same thing: COlonels, don't ruin another productive thread with your hurt feelings.

Wenna to address your point in this thread I completely agree and have felt the same way myself. Well of course you would because you're the one in question here making the bizarre claims What proof do people want when they ask for it? I do not keep every recruiting history, I don't download every team every year from every world. Sitemails get deleted after 40 days or whatever it is. Don't claim it if you can't back it...or at least ADMIT that you can't back it...you did neither.

If you don't trust my knowledge of the game and understanding of it's history, so be it, I feel that is your loss. My proof is my experiance. That's reassuring, especially when you spell experience wrong. I think you're a great player and coach in this game...does that mean you have a memory of an elephant...nope. Understanding of its history is a BROAD statement, no? I should believe "my enemy" just because he thinks I should? Great logic.

It's going on right now in the JUCO thread.

It's great that vets want to respond to questions based on their experience. That's awesome and helpful, but it turns out zhawks' experience-based opinion was wrong. Someone provided a response from CS.

Here's what I've been seeing lately: vets are annoyed and, consequently condescending, because they are being questioned, even when they have a right to be questioned. New coaches aren't being as gracious that vets are taking the time to answer their questions. It's going both ways.

LOL!!! That CS response was vague at best! Exactly what gil was talking about... misreading CS responses or reading into them more then what they say

Case and point.

Zhawks - in my experience, spending more money doesn't help.

CS- spending more money can help.

Yeah zhawks, it doesn't mean it will, but apparently it can, which was the question originally asked.

Now zhawks is apparently defensive and claiming that the rest of us are misreading the CS response, even though I have a pretty good grasp on the English language.

The vets need to stop being so defensive and need to consider that they may not know everything. That is just as much a part of the problem, in my opinion.

I think at one point he might have had all 12 players being SFs and they won the championship.
