You're going to be waiting a while on that one, they can't answer it because there is nothing they can show that backs up anything they say. All they talk about in regards to the banner is how embarrassing it is for the fans. It seems like all they care about is how they're perceived by the rest of college football fans, which is weird.

When a player likes Mike James tries to tell you how it hurts, why wont you listen? Geez.

when player(s) like Philip B, J. Gonzalez, Sherko Haji-Rasouli, and Romberg and others say they see the problem, why won't you listen? Geez. Let me put it another way, did Mike James win rings? Did the others that have spoke out win them? Geez. I am sorry some folks are coddled and feelings are hurt, but there isn't no crying in baseball, and football gives a **** less about it.
Geez. Carry on with the everyone gets a trophy mindset instead of one earns it.

And there are players like Andre, Kenny, etc who carry themselves with Class and would never do what Buchanon, Gonzales and Sherko have done. Do your homwork , there are examples of how to carry yourself and how not to. Earn it not **** about it. Making noise about what is wrong in a manner that hurts the program not matter the head coach is not how to do it. Do I think we have a Coach who can do what Saban does, nope, but I will work that in a manner that does not hurt these kids or the chances to get better next year. Always have always will.

You mean when Golden invited former players to watch film sessions with the current players and Romberg asked one question about why they scheme and what the coaches taught the player on one play, and that basically ended the players being allowed around the current players....

Listen. I wanted Golden to work out more than anyone. I made my own avi with a golden southpark theme. It's just he is too hard headed and won't listen to others, including JJ and such. He has ****ed off the local coaching for recruiting. He has lived in a bubble. He has let friendships get in the way of jobs.

I hear ya and you should hear me screaming in the living room watching games, just feel some things should be handled the Andre way! But that is me!

Then he probably shouldn't have said it.

"there are sick and hungry kids and you are raising money for _____________________"

doesn't matter.

I guess he would prefer instead of supporting the banner, people take thousands away in the form of not renewing season tickets (people in close proximity)
or stopping their financial support of the university and athletic department (in my case).

**** on outta here tar heels fan.

I see that it's difficult for you to understand that there is a major difference between what you originally posted and what Mike James said.

Mike James essentially said it's an embarrassment for folks to spend money on a banner when there are kids dying.

His point was about the juxtaposition of spending money on banners while there were kids dying.

He didn't say you had to spend your every cent on dying kids.

He said don't spend A CENT on a banner while there are kids dying.

It was about the worthiness/importance of the endeavor in the grand scheme of things.

But I can already tell that this idea/theme is a bit difficult for you to get a hold of.

Well said - now you see how people twist messages. Mike James said some class things and the folks replying show how they are gutter trash.

If you really were on board with what MJ said, you would say the same for any frivolous spending. Don't spend a cent on meaningless football tickets while there are kids starving. You know, the grand scheme of things and all. Or is it your opinion that football tickets > starving kids??? I know you won't respond because you chicken littles never do. You just put people who obliterate your positions on ignore. Just like the imbecile with whom you are in agreement.

Oh I will reply chicken little. My values system is that I must give back to my community - Time, Talent and Treasure. I donate my time and Talent thru Habitat for Humanity and my treasure thru several local charities. I fail to see how donating to a negative banner fulfills any of my values - for my community or my family time - which includes season ticket SUPPORTING the canes. Am I frustrated at things , of course. But there is a way to take care of business , and loud Neggies who bring nothing to the table do not get any support from me. Did that help you, may not see you response since you are on ignore!! LOL!

I'm not sure why so many people worry about how others spend their money. I bet if you give me 5 minutes with his credit card statements I could find quite a bit of waste, meanwhile while kids are dying.

I like Mike but give me a break. Why is it so terrible that people contribute their hard earned money towards a mission they believe in and a team they are passionate about. I just think there is a better way to have answered that question.

I hope they fly another this weekend... maybe Golden can continue the trend of winning on days a banner is flown. I'd be fine with that if we beat FSU. And if we lose at least Golden's slurpers can stop saying "Golden 3 - Banner 0" as if it's a good thing our coach needs people calling for his firing to finally get off his *** and do his job.

Hope you are not one of the fans making fun of Al's weight.

don't have to, even the non-mope squad admits it. When your waist size is bigger than mine, you have a problem. Old Al got a problem, cause I am a fat *******.

Last i looked Al has lost a lot of weight. He is also 6'3 and a big man you appear to be short and fat. If people are going to get personal about weight they should have to submit a picture. Most of you posters with thousands of post who sit on their *** most of the day are more along the obese size. Al will be here to 2020,you fat ***** will have along time to monitor his weight.
 
Holy ******* ****. Do you people have NO SHAME? There's always a player or two to blame for our losses, there's some reason or another why we have player after player decommit. Quality wins? NONE. But you all have some excuse for that as well. And now, NOW you're willing to go to war over the ******'s weight? Jeez, burn this place down. This is the softest so-called "fan" base that I have EVER seen in my close to 30 years as a fan. Jerome Brown and Alonzo Highsmith would tear your collective heads off and **** down your throats for the *****assedness displayed on this site.

You gals ain't Cane fans. You are Golden Girls through and through.

There are three major components that make up a football program.

Players
Fans
Coaches

Two of those three are givers. One taker. My loyalty NEVER rests with the taker.

nah, I'll probably be dead by then; which sucks cause I will never see a successful coach at UM again at the current rate.
 
You are fat and out of shape and that is right out of your mouth. Go on biggest loser and lose 70 pounds and maybe i won't **** you up to bad.
 
To put it simply, you don't tell another man how to spend their money. Everyone is free to spend their money the way they feel fit. Doesn't matter if you don't like it because you can't do **** about it but complain.

Got MS and Cancer, hard to lose weight when you can't stand straight up or walk straight at times. Before both about 6 years ago, I was 175 - 180 at 6'1".
