Stop the whining dude.

In your last post on track you didn’t write anything about the track team going for number 104. I’d bet Nestor and co. were paying attention to baseball, softball, and even golf and tennis closely because number of posters were putting up content alerting the whole community that those communities were going for NCs.

If you care about track so much then you should have made that effort before.

As N and others have said number of times already, none of us are paying them to work for us. They are writing about what they want. And if they miss something then those who are interested should fill in the gaps.

Stop the bitching.

It makes you look whiny and ungrateful.

I know this should be obvious, based on the far superior quality of writing here, but BN is not the LA Times or the Daily News. You do not pay a subscription and, thus, you don’t have any right to whine or complain about lack of coverage.

Bluestreet is 110% correct. BN thrives because people contribute the content they are interested in. If you want to see more track coverage, then sit down and write it up. Being in exile (and by exile I mean the Bay Area, where the only time UCLA makes the news is after they give Stanfurd or Cal a beatdown), I’d love to read all about how our Bruin track stars are doing.

Less whine. More writing.

You say I’m whining, bitching and ungrateful. Where did that all come from? I said Nestor et al. are doing “an extraordinarily fabulous job with everything here” and that I have “utmost respect”.

I merely pointed out that the track teams deserve support of all Bruins and that we should not overlook them as they are still in the thick of an NCAA title run now.

I wish I had the time to give regular updates and recaps on the track teams, but I don’t. The info is available on the official site.

I also think seeing as we are all die-hard Bruins through thick and thin, there is no excuse for rude personal insults. We’re on the same side bro and we need to stick together.

Here ya go…

entitlement? ungrateful? Whoa this is just weird now. Duuude…

Rich, you gotta realize that Nestor and the other managers do tons and tons of work for this site, and so BN will get pretty defensive if someone criticizes any of them. I think that’s where bluestreet and norcal are coming from.

At the same time, I didn’t take your post as whining so much, as it was someone putting in a voice for the track program.

That said, rich is right in that we are all on the same side here, and of course we will all be supporting our track program. Here is the link to the site for those who are interested.

I was “forced” to be a supporter of the track program when I was a student – my dorm room in Sproul overlooked Drake and I got to hear many of the track meets loud and clear on Saturday mornings, whether I was in any shape to hear them or not!! Go Bruins!!

I’m not sure the structure of the meet is conducive to an open thread format (I used to be a swimmer so I know how that goes), but we could always try it out and see how it goes. Believe me, it was not a slight on the track teams that they have not been mentioned. We simply have not seen as much interest or participation in it until this diary. I encourage you to keep it up. As bluestreet mentioned, many of us would be far less informed about the baseball team without rye, and the same goes for softball and daynuh and many others.

Rich,

Thanks for the reminder about the T&F NCAA’s. I was wordering if we were still in the mix for additional NC’s before the end of the school year.

So when is the meet, and do you know who is broadcasting it?

I’ll be watching for our Bruins at the national meet. I love T & F, and my neice is quite a high jumper, so I really do watch and enjoy the “carnival!”

And Fox, do you just know everybody? ;)

Love My Bruins
