Breaking -- Shocking PSU Defections!

[PSUbluTX]

FLAW Radio is reporting that three-quarters of the PSU wrestling team have declared they will sit out next season or transfer to less successful schools immediately!

In a statement read by player spokesman, Sault Shaker (affectionately known on and off the mat as the "Menacing Mennonite" due to his aggressive wrestling style and flawless corn row braids), the wrestlers stated that they are ashamed of their blue and white privilege. They said the embarrassment of riches at PSU was ... "just gosh dang embarrassing."

The statement included a list of demands to keep them at PSU. Chief among them was that PSU donate its 9.9 wrestling scholarships for the next 3 years to perennial underachieving programs, like Iowa and Rutgers. Some team members appeared confused when Shaker seemed to call an audible and inexplicably added one more demand to the list: the immediate addition of an upper division wood-working and furniture making course.

Stand by for updates!

Between stupid posts like this one and the threads started by GhostK with the stupid responses to GhostK's posts, this board is becoming unreadable and annoying. IMO, the board's quality is suffering. I suspect the only people laughing at these posts are the posters themselves. The mods should put a stop to the nonsense or the board is going to become a shell of what it currently is.

Good post. But let's not hold back. Need to point fingers

I'll start. It's MemeGod El Jefe's fault

I go to the Rutgers/OSU boards for wrestling info.

Btw, shitposting is not just a BWI problem. I think Reddit is to blame. I don't respect shitposting like I respect trolling because good trolling requires nuance. That said, I did start a couple shitpost threads after nationals.... and I do have at least one recurring shitpost contribution (Cassar shirtless pics).

That's OK, one less Cassar calendar to buy this Christmas.

The problem is we can’t all be Slush. And yet we’re tempted to try.

The problem is we can’t all be Slush. And yet we’re tempted to try.

In fact, even Slush can’t be Slush, based on the reaction to the last effort. And even Spyker can no longer be Spyker. And Jim Carrey can no longer be Jim Carrey.

The edge and the acceptance are hard to maintain!

Well.....there is the ignore button. If nobody reads they can't respond = If a tree falls in the woods...........done.

Dang, tough crowd today. Apologies for causing some of the crankier board members heart palpitations. Guess I should’ve posted the continuation of this joke in the other thread. But WPB, lumping me in with GhostK? Ouch. That was under the belt. You, sir, win the Burgermeister Meisterburger award for the day. It’s the off-season, no need to be a stick in the mud over a harmless (if failed) attempt at humor.

I thought it was pretty funny, but would have gone over better on Sunday.

I don't mean to lump you in with GhostK or be critical of you in particular. If my post lumped you in with anyone, I believe it lumped you in with the posters responding to GhostK's posts.

If your post was the only silly post on the board, I wouldn't have posted what I did. My post was intended to be critical of what I view as an overwhelming silliness that has taken over this board at the expense of real wrestling discussion, which is what I believe most come here to read about. I understand it is slow in the off season, but to have to wade through the unusually high number silly posts to find relevant wrestling content is, to me, annoying and lowers the quality of this board.

The responses to GhostK are apparently attempts to annoy GhostK into submission. However, I appear to be collateral damage as the responses are annoying me (and apparently others) into submission. This annoying trend of how this board addresses a perceived troll needs to be nipped in the butt now or it will become the typical response to anyone who is perceived as a troll. If GhostK is a troll who nobody wants to hear from, simply ban him.

Fair points and gracefully stated. Thanks for sharing that perspective. I learn valuable things about the sport almost every time I stop by here. I don’t mind wading through the humor to get those nuggets of info so long as it’s not mean spirited. I’ve been lurking for the past couple years but only recently discovered that there is a free acct version that allows me to post. I’m amazed by the wrestling knowledge of people on this board. No promises, but I will try to restrain my level of silliness. If that doesn’t work, throw me on your ignore list.

You're exactly right about this. People made a fuss that GhostK was going to ruin the board like he or someone like him did to some other board. It's like everyone said, I'm not going to allow that, I'm going to ruin the board first. So, you can ignore GhostK and get rid of the ridiculous threads but we shouldn't have to do that. The board has become an unreadable joke.

 

[Dogwelder]

... People made a fuss that GhostK was going to ruin the board ... It's like everyone said, I'm not going to allow that, I'm going to ruin the threads first ...

After I fixed your word for you (bolded) ... Bingo! You have identified the sound strategy.

Instead of letting someone else ruin the entire board perniciously using toxic waste from the shadows, with everyone feeling powerless and wondering “what’s happening?!”, some superheroes decided to ruin specific threads, identified with the tag “GhostK”, using puffy marshmallows in the sunlight with everyone knowing what’s going on.

Under the superhero regime, you *know* the GhostK threads have no wrestling content so you can skip the entire thread. The alternative woulda been that you had to enter the thread because some nuggets of gold woulda been in the toxic waste. If a person cannot appreciate the difference between the two scenarios, then that person would not be a thinker and would be incapable of choosing the lesser of two evils—he or she would be like someone who chooses to die of a simple infection because the medicine tastes bad for 10 seconds when eaten.

Sorry it’s that way for you, and that you are apparently being forced to endure the suffering. Different strokes, I suppose. Some enjoy only documentaries while others enjoy a broader range of tv programming. Seems like a waste of energy and emotion to rage against the television for playing both when it’s so easy to just change the channel.

I actually didn't have a problem with your post although I can see why you took it that way being that it started this thread. I just responded here because I agreed with what WPB_lion said about the GhostK threads

Thanks for all that you do.

And what is your plan? It's easy to complain about others' solutions. What is your proposed solution, other than to do nothing and repeat what happened last time?

I didn't have any problem with anything he's said here, but if he is what you say, then he should be banned. I'm not sure why we're waiting around on that. Seeing that Tom has joined in on the mocking of him, he must believe it, so ban the guy.

To be clear, I have ignored him so I don't see the mess any more. I ignored him because of what those threads are though, not due to his initial questions/points being so offensive. I guess I'm just naïve.

 

[nerfstate]

Is this the grievances thread? Here's mine. Sick of reading about Hawkeye Report in almost every thread. Doubt that will change though, and I can take it.

I kinda like the Ghost threads, especially after it was explained to me. I'm actually annoyed when someone posts something thoughtful/relevant in them.

Oh, also, I read this thread's title as "Shocking PSU Defecations" and I thought someone had gone on dates with Goodale again.

Sounds good. I agree with you. Just banning him would be the cleanest solution.

I've figured out how to describe KK. Imagine that Ali G. or Borat does his "I'm a dummy, and I say dumb things to get a rise out of people" schtick. Then, imagine that he does it but without the genius and without the humor. Then, he refuses to stop. Then he tricks unsuspecting people into joining him as he hijacks every thread into ridiculous, Ali-G.-level-stupid-but-not-funny tangents. Then unsuspecting do-gooders defend him as a well-meaning simpleton, well after the old-timers have concluded that he is not well-meaning nor sincere.

 

[Gray52]

It’s the off-season.... nothing is too corny, lame, OB, or boring... post away and save the criticism for in-season. All good.

Amen! It is becoming a board of silly comments and inside jokes that have nothing to do with wrestling. I suspect most of us come on the Wrestling forum for wrestling news and discussion. Hopefully, this board can return to that. I know people who don't come on the board anymore because of what it has become. We have the best team and coaches in the country and I'm sure we can come up with a lot to discuss or talk about.
