It was an ugly game against Cinci and SMU did not play perfect, far from it, hard to watch at times, but SMU had chances to win the game. Once again SMU was playing with a very short bench and foul trouble. I really am looking forward to the day when Jank gets the opportunity to coach SMU with a full roster. Support our team.

so what was he doing in 2017 when he only had 6 (sometimes 7) and a tougher non conference schedule?

Meanwhile, Feron talks about "getting over this hump". Presumably a reference to being short handed this season due to sanctions and injuries? Our guys would have to win both home games this week to have any hope of getting over that hump this year.

If having a little class makes you a snowflake, then fine, call me a snowflake.

If Feron was walking around after the game and said that comment, would you really beat him down like that? I'd hope that you would just appreciate the kid for sticking up for his coach and his school and let it go.


To you and Abu: I’m not calling you a snowflake. I’m saying that your one specific recommendation of not writing back to his “Dont be upset with my coach” is of snowflake logic. I’ll reiterate my point: 1) He’s in college and an adult 2) He utilized a public platform and addressed it to the community who wants change. Those two items right there, for any person, are valid reasons to be open to public criticism. I do and will not understand how he gets immunity to that because to me that logic is of the snowflake mentality.

So you think HoopmanX's response was inappropriate? That is what '11 and I were responding to.

I say good for Hoop for challenging him (in a respectful way, of course).

Assuming he means next year when we are fully restored of scholarships. Unfortunately, Feron doesn't see that we will have significantly less talent next year and the dumpster fire will continue due to lack of Jank recruiting.

Sure, he put it out there and opened himself up to criticism. But you still don't have to be "that guy". Again, there is zero reason for any of us to tell him that his friends suck. What is the purpose? Would you really do that in person?

My response is to not be a snowflake yourself. Instead of hiding behind the internet and responding to a 19 year old, nut up, walk up to Turner at the next basketball game and tell him how you feel about the program.

Make your opinion known to someone who it might actually have an impact on. Talk to the people that you are actually frustrated with. But don't take your frustration out on a kid who is just trying to stick up for his coach and his team. You are just unleashing your frustrations on someone who doesn't deserve to hear alumni telling him his friends suck, and you are doing it because you are too much of a snowflake to talk to real grown men about it.

How's that?

How's that?


Once again, you are deliberately using a post someone made, the 'your friends suck', to further your argument when you know full well that nobody on this thread supports that individual tweeting that to Feron.

Classic strawman argument.

What you won't answer is our specific question. Was HoopmanX's tweet inappropriate.

And one final note. Feron is using Twitter to make his opinion known to as many people as possible. When someone retorts, they should be afforded the exact same luxury. When done properly, whether in the courtroom (Arkpony) or on social media, everyone benefits.

Agree with So_Cal so no need for me to reiterate it. Also for fact checking, I can’t find a poster who said “your friends suck”.

Also what is the point of twitter if not matter what you post is still “behind a computer screen”. In that very instance would end all conversation and you would essentially have just Instagram. So basically the recommendation is to end twitter?

Since neither So_Cal or I posted anything to him; I’m not sure what you’re asking us. We are simply defending Hoopmans posts because it was perfectly valid. The kid is at university and an adult. He should be able to handle criticism in an open forum. I’m not sure how that’s considered crazy. If college isn’t the cutoff, what is? When they’re finally on their 3rd job? This is what I’m referring to a snowflake mentality. If you are “defending your coach (or professor or boss or politician, etc), you have to expect counter arguments.

I'm with JasonB. Feron's post showed a lot of class. It's ridiculous to think an anonymous person responding on twitter could goad him into badmouthing his team. Best to just leave those discussions to the fan sites.

See y'all at the game tomorrow! Have a 6 AM flight (ugh).
