I Am Pretty Sure My Editorial Ran in the Greensboro Paper Today

I hope you realize, due to your inability to get any fact you put in your ad accurate, people are going to form a flawed opinion and want to get 2 Wake Forest legends fired. I hope you are sued.

Well, I never really thought of [Redacted] and Wellman as "legends" in the traditional sense. But now that you mention it, what they've done the past few years has been relatively legendary.
 
I was referring to members of our coaching staff. You all do realize this nonsense affects them too, don't you?

Your opinion is your opinion. Your conversations with others are private. However, when you take your opinion to the public, to the masses, you'd better be right when you put something out there as fact. You're messing with people's lives and their families. If you don't view it that way you're being incredibly obtuse.

I can honestly see now why it has been so difficult to get things going with the #BuzzOut movement. Rather than trying to contribute, some of you on here just want to slam people and bitch about everything! Yes, I should have fact checked better. I was in the airport when I wrote this and should've come back home and reviewed it before sending. I admit that. But come guys, give me a break. Stratt and I just spent $260 of my own money for this cause.

LoL at the nitpicking. Nobody is gonna pay attention to some of the things mentioned other than Wake fans. Actually had my co-worker read it and point it out to me this morning and he didn't notice any of the things people are complaining about. Great effort man. The Chris Paul thing was a little weird but fact is there is a lot of lip service around here and not many doing anything about it. Good for you and thank you.
 
Only a Wake fan would remind everyone of the lowest point of CP's career in a letter talking about how great things were. For some reason we all revel in the low points.

We all appreciate your efforts and your heart is in the right place but there are no points for effort in this world - execution is everything.

You are nit picking. It got in the paper. That's all we care about.

Thanks for taking the time to post your opine in the GSO paper...Every little bit helps even if there are minor errors. The intent is there.

To all the experts criticizing you. It is easy to sit in the bleachers as an observer and be critical when Stratto is out in the middle of the coliseum trying to slay the lions!!! To all the armchair quarteracks; Get a life and send your thoughts to the other so called "rags" in the area!
 
Great job dude. I, like most folks here, understood what you meant. People just like to be assholes.
 
Good job.

The haters will point out that it wasn't exactly 3 years ago when we beat Duke and UNC and were ranked #1, but everybody knows what you were getting at. We accomplished all those things under the brief tenure of our last coach, and he was just a temporary fill-in. You made your point well.

You are insane. An editorial, or letter to the editor, is one persons opinion. Nothing more. Just because it is published, it doesn't make it a fact
 
Strattocaster said:
Not sure I would call trying to make something happen an embarrassment but you are right, I did make a couple of mistakes. It was 4 years ago.

To satisfy the haters, you should say 4 seasons ago, because it was not exactly 4 years ago. Geez, fact check your fact checker man.
 
The nitpicking cannibalism with things like this simultaneously sad and hilarious. Those of you with your panties in a wad about the Hodge comment or factual errors haven't done shit about this except bitch on a message board (I'll freely admit, that's all I've done too). The moment someone posts a legitimate action that has been completed, you fall all over yourselves to shit on it. It's sad and pathetic.

Pos rep for the effort, OP.
 
If everyone spent an equal amount of time doing something to further the #buzzout movement, as they do complaining about its execution, buzz would already be gone. And by doing something, I don't mean posting moronic ideas for the next game or posintg on the wake forest message board. Everybody here knows the facts and has an opinioned formed.
