Luke, I will let you know I am not pissed at your decision to take the post down. The squeaky wheel got the oil and that's how it works. Transfers happen, some appear to be more legit then others. When Grimm transferred to Regina there were very legitimate concerns that caused it. Sports were of little to no concern at the time. It didn't stop the private bashers from bringing it up then and continuing to do so. Few if anyone asked or wanted to know the reasons why and I wouldn't have shared it if they did. It still gets brought up as 'proof' because there isn't a whole lot else for people to hang their hat on. So now it moves to WB where a string of coincidences seems to have occurred, when faced with the scrutiny that is far less then what Regina has faced they have chosen to mount the complaints and build up their outrage over the event. In my opinion it looks like the old school playground 'you can dish it out but you can't take it' situation. I expected better from them. I wouldn't like to see how they would respond to the lies, innuendo, fantasy, deep digging and presenting of opinions as facts that Regina has. I have taken personal shots directed at me and no complaints from me. It's a message board and not personal and I am confident in how I approach my posts on this board. The reality is this board would go crazy if the following scenario played out.
Mid season transfer
Kid has apartment in new town
Parents still live and work in other town
House in other town is not on the market(last I heard, last week)
Sister still at the other school and using house as address
And yes I am aware there is dissatisfaction with the other school
Regina has been jabbed at for someone transferring as a freshman, 7th grade transfers, foreign exchange students, kids who play little to not at all but did change schools. I would hope that the people who did some of those same things would be able to handle it when they are faced with a small amount of scrutiny. But it is what it is and not much will change. I will continue to hear that this is the year Regina falls, heck some have said a losing record is possible, some kids who didn't play much last year will step up and people will be looking for their names on previous years roster, people will jab at the coaching staff, location, recruiting, that they don't work any harder or smarter then anybody else so let's just get it fired up and get going. No complaints from me Luke.
