Let’s imagine CB during the Boise game as you propose
“Gee Golly - shucks. I would have liked for a tackle to occur there.”
“Fiddle dee dee - another Boise State touchdown. That was a surprisingly wide chasm for him to run through.”
“Well, I heard he used to be an MMA fighter. That’s nice.”

Why is it ok to attack players and coaches on this board?

Like you said “it’s a sports message board”

Oh, come on. Griping about coaching is the oldest form of fan dialogue. It comes

Personal attacks on the coaches and individual players is lame. And there are

Haha, I don’t understand why anyone would talk like that in public.

And yet, that might still be better than what we actually got during the Boise game

Define attack. Criticizing play calls and scheme is not a personal attack. Critiquing play is not even that.

There's a line there. I agree with you in general but it's possible to overstep

Criticism of performance isn't attacking.
RootieBoy

It doesn't help much. But, there are actual personal attacks – most aimed at one

Agreed. Key word is "performance".

Personal attacks are wrong. Criticism and praise of games are part of fandom.

He has a serious crush on Tuiaki, I wouldn't take it personally.

I think the board does a pretty good job avoiding personal attacks

Can we at least complain about the weather?

Define "attack"

Because Tuiaki is likely making more money that most of us, and I'm helping pay

Does NIL change that? Legitimately curious

No idea. Haven't considered that at all yet

I'm positive they coached a terrible game last week.

That's great. When being critical, a little humility goes a long way.

100%. Anonymity makes it easy to cross the line. Cleaning up trash improves CB.
