Who did I specifically call a "Saul-o-holic"- ???
I was simply agreeing with those already using the term.
And just for the record, the program existed for 105 years before Saul arrived. He's barely a footnote in the big picture and anybody with 6700+ posts should be able to recognize that. Very sad if they don't. Where this blind loyalty to a now ex-coach comes from, is a mystery. It would be nice to see more people positive about the late Larry Hunter instead of worrying about the recent ex-coach who previously had no connection to Athens or the school or the basketball program.
My assumption is that you inferred that I was one, among others, after I made the comment about my amusement over your defensiveness over someone else questioning thoughts about one hypothetical recruit. My comment has less to do about Saul himself than your general tone and specific word choice on your comeback in this case.
It feels as though you think we can't like Saul and/or his family as human beings, AND be decent or respectful towards him or his recruits/former recruits, while also being excited for Boals and the future.
And before you make some snappy, subject changing comeback, yes, you have made constant (in my opinion unnecessary) jokes about Nate Springs (and others) for the last year. THAT is what I was referring to when I got a chuckle about your reply to longtimelurker about a hypothetical recruit.
Lastly, thread drifting.....regarding Larry, it would actually be nice to see some memorial to the late Larry Hunter done somewhere inside the walls of The Convo.
