In that other thread you've heard it was hard on him, his teammates weren't good, he wasn't put in a situation to succeed, it's other players on his team people were mean, he loved Auburn his entire life, and now nobody knows his sacrifices. 

I’ve never seen anything like it. Related to sports, at least. Proves that most people are incapable of changing their minds, regardless of all the evidence.

It’s definitely a divisive issue for sure, but I think most, if not all, want to just move on.  It’s similar to when Gus Malzahn was fired.  It took forever for the threads to stop and there is still some residual hatred if you go on the “Rivals” side.

It’s like when you go through a bad breakup when the other party is in the wrong.  Just move on, hate will only do bad for you.  Jump on that Tinder.  Go order from the menu again.  So what your Big Mac at McDonalds sucked.  Let’s take you to Chick Fil A and get you a Frosted Lemonade.  😉

It will always be divisive when you have badly bias people in the fray. Everyone has a little bias but when you have people who are ignorant in their bias , that they double down on it, there will be no moving forward.

What does any of that have to do about Bo holding his team hostage for recruiting then leaving.

And I guess I'll assume that if someone checked your old posts there would be none of you offering criticism to any player on this team?

It’s like when people use scripture to fit their own agenda . It’s ridiculous

Or can't admit it. Both are bizarre and pathetic to me. But shouldn't be, because as you said it's more common than the alternative. /rant

What I hope, naive though it may be, is that at least some of those folks learn from it and take the opportunity to challenge their assumptions a little more on the front end going forward. Or at least acknowledge the superficial reasons for making them. 

Every kid that walks into that locker room might be the leader and competitor and baller that so many of y'all just assumed Bo was. Be open to that and let them show it. 

Edit: Per usual, someone else said it shorter and better. See @DAG's post above.

I agree.  I don’t think that will ever go away.  It’s kind of like in politics.  There will always be a group that will never change their mind.

I am just ready to move on from it and focus the attention on TJ, DD, and Holden when he arrives.  It is Gameday, after all!

Concerning Bo Nix, "Let he who actually played college football cast the first stone".

Truth is, most of us on this board have no idea what determination, dedication, sacrifice, and toughness is required to play any collegiate sport much less SEC football.

"It ain't rude if it's true".

100% man live my life like that, I ordered a rare steak last week and it came out charred black, but I thought to myself. I've never been a cook at a restaurant, so really I'm not allowed to hold an opinion on a product I've paid for.

Based on that logic , why are you even on this forum.

I come on this forum because I love Auburn and Auburn football. Also, I want to learn more about football and there are some knowledgeable posters on here that sometimes offer useful insight into the game and that I can learn something from. That's it.

I try not to criticize players and I hope that I haven't. They are just (18 to 23) years old, and I know I did some stupid things when I was that age. Coaches are a different story. I complained about CGM a lot and Stephen Leath for the completely unjustified contract.

Well that can’t be completely true because I know for a fact you were criticizing CBH about his play calling so no that’s not it. You throwing stones and hiding your hand? “Let he who coached college football throw the first stone.”
 

“We definitely should have gone for two at this point.

Nothing else makes any sense. By not doing so we agreed to match our red zone offense

up against Bama's. Not a good idea.”
