Renaldo Woolridge

I'm not a hater, I dont hope guys do bad but I do try to be realistic and take off the orange glasses and I'm sorry but Woolridge is simply not good. He did pretty decent playing extended minutes against a very very decent Charlotte team but he will be a liability if we don't get some guys back going into the SEC schedule. I love the people who when their guy has one good game in a 30 game basketball season come on here and say "Told you all I was right". Consistency is what makes a player good. Any night can be a guys night to get hot that night doesn't make him all of a sudden a great player. Woolridge will never be a major factor here and him being forced to get more minutes is only going to show this more.

Ah, yes the "realistic" crew that conflates this idea with criticism or dogging someone/something. I don't care whether or not you post or not, but don't pretend to be a victim if you are going to be negative about the program on their website.

This is not their website. This is a fansite and if we can only be positive then why even discuss. You sound like the guys who tell people to leave the country when they didn't support Bush.

Who cares what star level some service gave him at this point? It's what he can contribute and my argument was that he could/will contribute to this program as opposed to those who were saying he was "worthless" and a "waste of scholarship". He's not. He'll get his opportunity now and do some things to help us.

As far as the rapping, I've never understood why that's such a big deal other than the fact that fans see him doing it and get pissed because he's not spending 12 hours practicing in the gym. There are other things they can do, you know.

This I will agree with you on.

My thoughts exactly. Thank you. That being said, I hope he steps up and contributes, but I just don't think he has much of a ceiling.

Hallelujah. I'm stunned the Pearlophiles don't just spend their time at utsports.com waiting with baited breath for Drew Edwards to dispense his hard hitting insight. If criticism of Lord Bruce bothers them so, that's probably their best option.

There are without a doubt more looney posts on here than there ever have/will be in the football forum. I will give 100 dollars to anyone on here that can outplay and or outrap Swiperboy. Some of the things that are said on here are cartoonishly stupid. He has 0 basketball skill??!?! Do you think before you type? He is a waiste of a scholly?!? Asanine. He's not tyreke evans or deonte thompson, but come on guys, geez. I can watch every kid in america and find 2-3 things they don't do well, but to say he's worthless? A little silly and IGNORANT. Please, I understand if you don't like him for whatever reason, but use your brain not your prejudices to type.

So you're bothered both those who criticize you for your criticisms? Yep, that makes sense.

I'm not bothered at all. I'm not one of the people around here babbling about what does and does not constitute a "real' fan. I was a UT fan long before Tanning Bed got here and I'll be here long after he's gone.

I don't see anyone in this thread throwing the "if you don't support the team you're not a real fan" angle.

Speaking of cartoonishly stupid, the prejudice comment ranks way up on that list.

Quick update for you "papa", I said prejudice. You obviously think the only kind is racial. Well that's one of the many kinds, another of which is not liking renaldo woolridge bc he raps (I was refering to the latter). There you go bud!!

Great point. It made your previous one much better - I guess.

Your edit just made the whole thing more senseless.

"Now Jimmy, let me tell you, your grandpa was the smartest poster on VN back in my day. I tell you, them other posters didn't stand a chance when they lined up with me."

None of this silliness, which, judging from your blather elsewhere on the site, is your standard, is bolstering your ridiculous argument that people on here need to bea able to beat the kid to evaluate his play. Sadly, that idiotic point is the better of the two you offered up. The prejudice gibberish, followed up with a definition and some tangent about rap, was monumentally stupid.

Haha, I'm reminded of Buckwheat on Little rascals with the dollar at the end of the fishing pole. Haha

He's worth a scholly but has a lot of growing to do. With the size he has, he should be attacking the basket instead of looking to shoot from the arc. I was really impressed with how well he attacked the glass and thought a few of his drives were impressive.

Who said you had to be positive? I just said this is a fan site and those criticizing shouldn't play victim when people are not responsive to their constant criticism. It shouldn't be surprising to people that fans on their team's website (or a site supporting their team, if you want to be technical-although I think you understood me the first time) might not happily accept the kind of crap spewed here by some. Spare me the victimization or "freedom of speech" whine.

Oh, and no way in hell would I ever support Bush. I'm probably one of the few here who gave money to the Obama campaign. Not related to the topic, but anyway.....

The point of language is to communicate to an understandable point. So yes, he did. Most people that are focused on the content rather than "haha you misspelled this word, or used this incorrectly" understood exactly what Unimane posted. (You did too, you just like to get you hatvol pom-poms out any time you get a chance.) I'm so sick of you guys little elitist "were NAGative about everything" circle-jerk. You guys should all meet up and kiss each other and draw up half court offenses or something. Better yet, move to Indiana and become a bigten fan instead of cluttering up the VN with your constant negativity.
