I've never went more than a couple of days without checking out the site since I joined. Over the course of a year the site has been steadily getting worse. Opinions on how to make this program better is one thing but the rhetoric and bashing you have to endure on just about every post is another. I will not post here again unless there is a dramatic tone change on this FAN site. I know there are a number of fans on this site that feel the same way as I do... but its the few that makes the most noise and set the tone of the site. Pardon the drama of an announcement... but my purpose is to let those that share my same convictions, know that I will still check and respond to the direct messages.
Don't blame you one bit. No one is even allowed to talk football here without it turning into a shrill, childish temper tantrum about the staff and school. They can't even stick to relevant criticisms, of which there are many, but have to turn everything into personal attacks and outright lies and slander.
Wish you and your son the best. You provided lots of great insight and info. Looking forward to seeing Shaq in a 'Canes uniform next year. Don't let the crazies drive you away from the program. This site does not represent the overall fanbase, not even close.
