ECA hands down for SDSU.

I'll go with copter for us... This version of him, the one that got banned not so much. ;)

Mug for Nevada

I'd have to go look at some of the other fantasies for the rest of my picks. I'm on my phone waiting for my oil to get changed, which makes it a little more difficult.

i actually like fresno state fans who take the trouble to follow the team to games over here. 

 

but saying any fresno state fan on this board represents any better or worse would be aking to proposing theres one guest on jerry springer who is most emblematic of what that show is about. 

 

like you all, theyre all there b/c they are all cut from the same cloth, and there isnt much for either group to be proud of.

 

An insightful post?!  You're stepping out of character, brah.   :ph34r:

San Jose State
Announced: 85,235
Scanned: 33,892
Percentage: 39.8%
Actual Attendance Per Game: 5,648

Bulldog8588 for SJSU. The lack of regular employment or a life allows him to constantly monitor this board and talk all things SJSU.

 

Well played. And 100% accurate.

 

For SDSU, I haven't a clue. Don't the rest of you hate all of us equally?

Boom goes the dynamite.

No...you guys are alright.  Quick take from me is that ECA and Dirtball are very straight shooters and conversational in a honest way, which is good...K5 kinda ruffles some, but he brings, hands down, some of the best FB and conference knowledge to this board (no, K5, I'm not kissing your as.s...just an honest observation)...and even you, SGF, have some decent takes IMO now that you've finally put to rest your over-use of the word "butt hurt" for 15 months.

Yoda ain't around as much anymore....he's the old curmudgeon, tho. ;)

Let the record show that, while I may be an old has-been (or never-was, depending on your viewpoint), I still saw that. So I'm not dead yet.

But I can't argue with you either. Life isn't nearly as much fun for me since the MWC became the WAC with a new name. Who do I rail against? What injustices can I seek to set right? Sigh....

Yoda out...

After deleting some of my posts and closing the offending SteveAztec thread, a couple of elites have been able to open it long enough to respond to me anyway.  And since I can’t respond on a closed thread, here is my response…

Other than the initial inquiry, this has never been about letting Steve post again; I doubt that he even wants to post here.  My complaint is about his treatment on this board and the failure of admins to control attacks on him – and worse, to sometimes participate in those attacks.

Steve was first banned on the SDSU board.  When he was banned, it was a sufficiently controversial that they started what became an 8 page thread on the topic to justify the decision (https://aztecmesa.proboards.com/thread/9747/steve-aztec-longer-member-board).  It is clear that Steve had support in the community and there was some criticism for the Board Administrators for having failed to “expel the dozens of people who've been taunting him.”  (And take a look at the thread that I bumped; initially it was supporters happy about Steve getting a radio show.  Then the haters arrived.)

I can’t say if Steve took it too far in response, but I will say that he denies most of various accusations and adds important missing context to others.  But I wasn’t a party to any of the events and can’t say who is in the right and who is in the wrong.  And I have to admit that if half of what has been said about him is true, depending on context, I might well have banned him too.  Or more likely I might have banned those who were taunting him.  (Steve had lost a brother-in-law to suicide and there have been a number of memes of people blowing their brains out, as well as posts blaming Steve or his sister for the suicide – and admins apparently let it go.)

I am in no position to evaluate the truth or falsity of the laundry list of claims made on this board about how Steve responded to all this.  My complaint, however, is about his treatment on this board.  I may be wrong, but his banning on this board at least appears to have been less about what he did on this board and more a carryover from the SDSU banning.  The same taunting continued – more suicide memes – apparently ignored by the admins. Utenation supposedly posted the first and it is explained away because he didn’t know about the suicide.  But was the post taken down?  Was an apology issued?   Indeed, for years, admins on this board have allowed Steve to be vilified based on little more than anecdotal hearsay.  This is a privately owned board, but it is not a private board – anyone can join.  And more than that, It’s not an anonymous board; people know who Steve.  You have a duty to protect your posters from libelous statements and unproven allegations -- especially when, having been banned themselves, they have no ability to defend themselves.

Even Retrofade (who says he’s not a mod but can post to closed threads) put up a “blowing his brains out” meme several years ago.  He knew that Steve lost his brother-in-law to suicide, and he now says that “Steve is a mentally disturbed individual”, which is libelous by the way, but excuses his meme as nothing more than being in “poor taste”.  Apparently it is okay with the board's current admins to taunt a "mentally disturbed person" because the post has never been taken down.  The poster has never been admonished.  And there has been no apology, unless you consider "he deserved it" to be an apology.

In my view, you owe Steve an apology for the treatment that you have tolerated and, in some cases, engaged in.  A former Aztec board went out of business when sued (not by Steve).  It won’t be the last one.  You need to fix this.  You need to administer your board and prevent libelous and incendiary attacks -- hearsay-- on posters.

I don't hate San Diego State or it's posters one bit. You have to care about someone before you can hate them.

I own a vehicle likely worth more than everything you own combined and just flew first class (including a ticket for a 2 1/2 year old), round trip to Las Vegas and I'm not 35 yet. When you accomplish something outside of finishing a book, let me know. When's the last time you saw a 2 year old fly first class in their own seat? Don't tell me about elite.
