I think it's more about expectations than caring. There are people who think that because of our past, it's not realistic to think we can become, for example, a top 10 program in basketball. And because they think that's not realistic, they postulate that we cannot attract a top 10 coach. Which then weakens the argument for firing the current top 150 coach. Setting aside for a moment the fact that we do not have the political will to fire said coach at this time. Or that we can clearly hire a Rick Barnes or Chris Beard level coach.
I think CDC has changed the paradigm at Texas. The next basketball coach we hire (assuming CDC is still the AD) is going to be better than Rick Barnes or Chris Beard.
Great post.
It's also why I can't help but push back on the narrative that CDC HAD to hire Terry. A top 10 program--which Texas strives and has the resources to be--doesn't automatically hire an interim coach with a mediocre track record as a HC because he coached half a season and makes the Elite 8. They do their due diligence. If Terry is the guy after weighing the options, then so be it. And, who knows, maybe they did kick the tires on a few potential candidates quietly before deciding to give Terry the reins.

What gets me is that posters antagonize Derka even in the fucking Rick Barnes thread. Almost a decade after his firing. If ever there was a place on the internet to let Derka cook, it's there. Instead, some purposely seek him out to prod him, then act indignant when he "Derkas it up". No shit, Sherlock. It's the RICK BARNES thread. Derka is INCREDIBLY easy to avoid with almost zero effort. Unlike the trolls, he sticks to a small handful of threads. But it's clear that some take pleasure in the drama that Derka creates.
You don't have to like him; you don't have to sympathize with him; it's not your responsibility as an anonymous message board poster to look after his mental health or make him better
...but how big of a piece of shit do you have to be to actively try to make him worse, so you can point and laugh?
That said, I understand the predicament that it puts the mods in having someone who takes his standing and treatment within the community so deeply personally. Deriving self worth from the internet is a dangerous game, so, if this ban is permanent, I sincerely hope a lot of good comes out of it in the long run.

You mean to tell me that his exemplary "trigger discipline" that the right jerked themselves off about for months wasn't taken into consideration???

That's not what happened, he has actually said what happened several times and I've confirmed it.
I told him to ignore motown or I'd do it for him (which btw has been done and he didn't even notice because he doesn't actually care - which is the part that none of you seem to understand and continuing to give him the benefit of the doubt is not only stupid, but it's the reason we are all having to even deal with any of this bullshit)
He went on a pretty significant unhinged rant and personally attacked me.
I ignored that and told him he can comply or he can move on from the community in very clear terms.
He told me to go fuck myself, which in my very clear terms is like yelling "IM BANNING MYSELF"
This is correct. See AnimalTabacco and Immortal13 and a few others.

14 minutes ago, BeardIP said:And I mean, come on @MotownHorn if Derka is even 50% accurate on his characterizations, no matter what happens here, stop being a sick bully. You are mentally ill yourself if you are getting your jollies by harassing and triggering people suffering with some variety or modicum of mental issues.
Here is the best path forward:
- First and foremost, @MotownHorn publicly commit to stop being a jerk and a bully.
-
Next, @Derka use the ignore feature and recognize that @immamac isn't out to get you and persecute you but there is a point where his personal sympathy must give way to his management of this board he owns and there will always be warts.
- As part of that, Derka stop throwing @blacklab under the bus and appealing to him because he's gone above and beyond due to you being a great guy IRL and him being a great guy with a good heart IRL, but you are burning a lot of goodwill the last 2 pages.
- Lastly, Immamac reiterate your general tepid appreciation for Derka and his value as a very long term member of the community and that harassment of any kind isn't cool, apologize for probably agitating the situation a bit (e.g. posting a banner, impatience in your earlier responses, etc.) but also re-establish the rules of engagement and consequences and once we've reconciled all this, give some grace to everyone in the form of a last and final chance before permabanning anyone involved.
This is my ruling and consider the mediation period over.
Remind us again how many times you have been crowd-sourced?

Karl Rove can suck it. We're in this mess because of people like him.
100%. But how insane and terrifying is it that Karl fucking Rove is now a RINO? Where's Johnny Sack to tell us that it's the left that has moved to extremes, and the right has generally remained the same?

People still trying to create a stir--in 2024--about what athletes do or don't do during the national anthem can get all the way fucked. Find some hobbies.

The relief is for all who resonate with the humor in the posts. I'm not posting in order to fit in with people's perception of the thread's history. I'm not excluding anyone intentionally. If you don't resonate feel free to post your own.
Just find something funny that doesn't look like it's pulled straight from 4chan.

It's hard to fathom how tall these mother fuckers are off of the basketball coach. Dude looks like Lurch. I'm 6'3" and I get "how's the air up there?" jokes and assumptions about what collegiate sports I must have played. Bitch, I'd be undersized for a point guard in the NBA.

He's lucky that the NFL hasn't had any issues recently with wide receivers street racing and hitting female motorists. Or Chief personnel driving recklessly.

Both testaments? Are there only two?
Do you think the character of Jesus in the Bible was a real person who actually existed? If so, why?
We don't have to do this. Everyone can get in their jokes about religion, while still allowing others to hold onto their faith without having to explain themselves (so long as they're not pushing it on others or using it to justify intolerance).

Does it matter if Donald is collapsed on top of his golf bag by the 2nd fairway?

Of all the terrible things said about Donald Trump over the years, you know this is pissing him off the most.

Times have changed. The paper that took on the Catholic Church and exposed Watergate wouldn’t be wasting its time writing a 7500 word mildly critical profile of a swamp trash women’s basketball coach.
You are aware that the Washington Post prints new articles every day? That's a lot of content to fill. They can't all change the world. You've got to be shitting me that you think they backed down because they feared litigation from swamp trash lawyers.
