What I didn't expect was what I saw Tuesday morning and early afternoon. We as Hokie fans seem to be intensely afraid of rejection. Let's examine the two cases individually. I have a password over there, but I've posted maybe 5 times at best.
Some people enjoy hanging out with the other side and trading points.
TheSabre was a bit farther gone than that, though. And finally, you had the flamers, those who buzz around every college football message board under various disguises, playing off the Hoos' general irritation with us to further fan the flames of riot on TheSabre. Some vocal elements of his customer base were screaming for a change, and he saw no easier way to deal with things than to muzzle Hokies until he could get an accurate measurement of the feelings of his board. As it appears to have turned out, most of the Hoos over there would prefer to have us to kick around, as long as we behave appropriately. TheSabre is a business aimed at Hoos, just like HC for us.
