Find it odd and a little amusing a thread giving opinions on the future of the baseball program is locked for perceived back and forth negativity. My goodness/ why have a forum if those “ opinions” cannot be shared?
Look/ I understand how things work at Jax St./ had a parent work there for nearly 30 years and knew every school President and head football, basketball and baseball coach on a first name basis for most of that time.
Nobody has gone over board with anything in my opinion. The school always is in need of some outside objectivity. But certain people in the administration have always liked to “ control” narratives. Have seen it done many times at the school.
It is obvious a change needs to be made. And soon.

I will say this and I’m done with the subject . You know how when you go to the mailbox and get all those coupons and what you do with it . Some clip em and others throw them in the trash . Without really looking and thinking about it . That were the mail out for tickets going without me even opening . When people start doing that , you got a problem on your hands . I don’t care what the sport is . We suppose to have a Gamecock club I have yet to get a email or anything in the mail about it . How are you going raise money if nothing is known . That’s a problem as well . I am done with the subject for now . If the thread that lock is deleted know I said they could do it . If they wanted . |

I found out about the Gamecock club during basketball season and asked questions to find my answers. I never received anything from athletics until I purchased my first season tickets many years ago. Since then, I have received things multiple times a year. I would not expect JSU to mass mail things to those who are not interested, but market to those who areare. If you want to know about this the Gamecock or anything else call and ask and they will share it with you. |

If I wasn’t here I would still think the Gamecock club was no more . They channel this through the alumni association and they don’t do a darn thing. But we also lack marketing and part of fundraising is marketing . I have never seen a table set up for people to sign up for the alumni association at any sporting I event I been to . I certainly never heard an announcement for home games. It’s more like they don’t wanna bother anyone . |

I am just stating that if you are proactive you generally will get better results than by waiting. |

That’s what scares me about the move up . Greg should have had someone under Ed meeting people and letting them learn the contacts and the sure I will give folks . Have a relationship built with these people and be able to work the room . I have never seen the room workers anywhere at the club level or baseball field. It’s been a while since I been to basketball but I can’t imagine it’s any different. This all falls under the AD and Kaci because it’s under the alumni . Fund raising drives should be announced the first home football and give the final total at the end of the season . That’s when the most people are there . I told y’all that ain’t hard stuff |

The short answer is that this is a moderated forum and at least two mods were tired of the bickering. If two or more moderators agree that a thread should die, it does. It wasn’t point counterpoint, several posts had skirted the line of name calling. The forum rules are posted at the top of each board, and several had been bent if not outright broken. We welcome discordant civil discourse, but every post shouldn’t be negative or insulting. If you read this forum regularly, you know that I am not a Case supporter, but even I had grown tired of the back and forth.
There’s your answer, as per rule 4.
No one has been banned or locked…only a single post that had grown tired.
I just found out that a friend of ours has passed away. I don’t know the details yet, but a single locked thread isn’t really a big deal. In the future, if you have a question related to moderation send a message.
