A rant to the regular members

GumboBC · 05-27-2004, 01:40 AM

I must say that I've been disappointed lately by the lack of response by some of the regular members. This might be the off-season, but there's a lot of news coming out about the Saints lately. And most of its been encouraging!

One of the more interesting things being reported lately was how John Pease was working with the defensive line. Is this just big news to me? Evidently so, since no one has really commented on it but Danno.

Another thing is the "weekly chat suggestion." I haven't seen anyone reply to it. I think its a great idea. Is no one interested?? I think its a great idea to get the writers involved in the discussion of the Saints. I don't know about ya'll, but I can never get too much info. on the Saints.

To me the off season is like waiting to be born again. I search for every morsel of information I can get my hands on in hopes of gaining even a flicker of hope.

I search the sprots page and the internet for any small glimpse of hope that we might have improved. Now granted, I never find that "big name" player we just signed, But, for me, I just have to get my Saints fix.

I occasionally see lummOx around. I'm sure he'll get back to posting on a regular basis at some point. Personally, I'd like to hear from him more often. lummOx usually brings a different view than most and I enjoy hearing it.

Danno seems to be returning from his vacation. Good news there.

Pak. I don't know where he's been. But, it would be nice to hear more from ya.....lol

08 -- I'm sure you can find something to get on your soap box about... If not just make something up like you usually do...LMAO

B&B -- You're as knowledgeable as they come. How 'bout sharing some of that knowledge more often?

JKool -- You've brought a lot to this board and I really enjoy reading your posts. Keep up the good work.

SaintNik -- Same as JKool. I really enjoy your posts.

WhoDat -- Well, what can I say. He keeps me from overdosing on the sunshine. WhoDat is a great contributor to the board.

Gator -- Maybe your busy studing. If that's the case you are excused. If not, we would like to hear from you too.

saintfan -- I see you logged on. I know you're there. How can the sushine club compete if you're not here? Now's not the time to take a break..lol

Ok, enough with the ranting. I know I left some folks out and I want all of you to know I like hearing all of your opinions too.

One last thing: HALO -- You're not immune either buddy. I see you used to post on a regular basis. We'd like to hear from you more often. Really, we would. Well, I would. I'm sure eveyone else would too.

Wow, i have to say that my feelings are hurt that i was left off. I think it is because i am sarcastic and sometimes i like to disagree with people just to make an argument...but i am little fun.

I really do level with you when it comes to searching every possible source in hopes of finding something new to read about the Saints. I dont know what i would do if i couldnt check up on them two or three times a day.

So, remember me next time or i promise you...well God help you if i am ever forgotten again.

LMAO!!

I\'m a smart dude, man. My plan was to purposly leave you out; knowing you would be hurt, thus I knew you would be sure to respond. :P It was the perfect plan...

JimBone-- Sarcastic, or polite. I enjoy your opinions. I tend to be more optimistic than some and I really like hearing both sides.

Oh, next time I go on one of my rants, you\'ll be at the TOP of the list buddy

JimBone · 05-27-2004, 02:08 AM

Well, your plan worked as i have made a pledge to answer every post on here with a good mixture of truth, belief, and sarcasm....sit back and enjoy.

WhoDat · 05-27-2004, 02:45 PM

saintfan -- I see you logged on. I know you\'re there. How can the sushine club compete if you\'re not here? Now\'s not the time to take a break..lol

Saintfan? Lurking in the SHADOWS you say? Has he fallen into darkness? Is the sunny disposition fading?

C\'mon Billy, Saintfan rarely comes out unless it is to pounce on me, Gator, or 08. Let Gator post one time and he\'ll come running in here like gang busters.

(PS - I bet this one drags him out of hiding too.

)

Danno · 05-27-2004, 09:41 PM

Started a new job, no internet...
Must do all from home, phone modem...

Cable modem definitely in the near future...
Over...

I must say Gumbo, things are slow on the board, but this is the lull before the storm.

We have an unbelievable \"watcher\" factor here, more so than any others I\'ve been involved with. I challenge anyone who claims to be a regular to roll call on this thread. If we don\'t see everyone answer this \"call-out\" then maybe bandg.net is DOOMED. OOOOOW!

I\'m calling you out! Let this thread continue until it is completely answered.

Halo=here

Danno · 05-28-2004, 07:17 AM

Danno - here
Tweeky - here

I\'m here, but refuse to argue the same points over and over again. Your point about Pease sounds great, but I\'ll wait and see what happens this fall. Don\'t know the guy, can\'t really speculate on what he\'s doing to make the line better, the only thing I can judge him on is performance, and that won\'t come until the season starts.
You left a few guys out of that list, by the way- subguy, whowatches, D_it_up2...I\'m missing someone else...hmmmm

Much appreciated on the acknowledgement of being a regular, B-n-B. We Tech guys have to stick together. :P . Anyways, yeah I\'m here. I\'m here every day, and I\'m also like B-n-B. Most of the posts lately have been redundant. They\'re just covered up well with different post titles. I don\'t necessarily think I have to post 20+ times a day just to be noticed. I give my input when it\'s something I\'m interested in. When it\'s something along the lines of the field turf in the Dome, who the new wide receivers coach is, or Jim Haslett taking a big dump on the 50-yard line saying all the while that it\'s a representation of his stint in New Orleans, I am just not that interested. I love a good debate when it\'s a good topic. Aaron Brooks was a good debate about a year and a half ago, but when it\'s the same crap over and over it gets mundayne. Have I rambled long enough? Probably so, but I love this site. This is possibly the best site I\'ve ever been associated with on the net. I enjoy seeing all of the different opinions of the members, because everyone in here thinks with their own minds. I\'d love to join in on the forum chats when work permits me to do so. I work graveyards, so I have weird sleeping habits. I just know that no matter what, I\'m a regular here and am so glad that I stumbled on this site a couple of years ago.
