"Boom, it goes," said the crane, and it was indeed correct. "Boom," goes the dynamite.

Bottom line---It is no ones business who gives what and why. Whether Bossman is giving or not and bragging about it is still no one elses business. I know for a fact that there are several people who gripe about there not being enough money given and then they do not give themselves. Some are members of Highland Hundred who pay their small $100 and never give anything else for example "Tiger Scholarship Fund" and then talk about how they are such big donors. Truth be told, they just want to brag that they are a member of the HH. It sounds like there are too many people looking for an ego boost. Please get off this subject.

Bossman has always made sure that I got a tshirt .
I bought one, eons ago and he has given me one ever since even though I have offered to buy it.
He even mailed me one, one time as a surprise.
If there has been or is a problem with what he does, I have not been aware of it.
I can only speak for myself and I am the first to say that I know very little about anything.
I do know when someone has been very kind to me, and he has.
I believe he also makes sure Kpig gets shirts for the kids.
Just felt like I should defend him by saying what I know.

You have generally good intentions but you can't seem to do anything without obtaining all the glory that goes along with it. You just have to let everyone know YOU are the one doing it and you love pointing out how much money it costs and letting on that you are this multi-wealthy person, and you may very well be.
But I do have to ask you this.
Why do you keep telling these lies that you do to all the people of this message board?
Without revealing myself, I am a person with some high-up connections within the athletic department that knows for a fact that you do not give money to the athletic department, at least not the amount you say you do. Your father is a booster though for sure. The tickets you get to the games are most likely the result of another boosters high donation that you like to claim here as your own to make yourself seem like some high-level booster. And yes I know who you are...Bill.
Why don't you tell people about all that money you donated to the Edgar Scholarship Fund. NOT A DAMN CENT! I know that from talking to those people.
Like I said, you seem to have good intentions and some good ideas but you go about it way wrong. If you think the university won't likely press you on copyright infringement if you go against their wishes you may be sorely mistaken.
BOSSMAN has been around awhile......you have 8 posts??? If you regularly post under another name why change for this thread? I don't know a damned thing about anything but you are the one who seems to be hiding......
Anyhow, Why are you calling him out anyway? What's in it for you?

I think there are some people that are threatened whenever the status quo is challenged.
I do not know if BOSSMAN is doing the right thing, but I know that he is at least starting something that needs to be discussed. I think it is totally time for Memphis to step up to the next level. Getting us recognition with the Black and Blue game IS the right thing to do.
I do not know BOSSMAN, nor have I ever had any dealing with him (to my knowledge). but I do agree with the thought of what he is attempting to do. I do not know his motivation, nor do I think any other person can guarentee that they do either, but the end results would justify the motivation in my opinion. If he gets things done, I think that it is the right thing to do.
I worked for a boss, that in my opinion, took advantage of the 9-11 tragedy by selling American flag items. Now he did not make much profit, but to make ANY profit during that time was wrong. I found it even worse that he said all his profits would be donated, which only part of it was.
I guess I am trying to say that I can see both side, but am glad that there are people out there with good ideas that seem to be trying to do the right thing.

Ok some BOSSMAN FACTOIDS !!!!
Graduated from the University.
Used to be real close to the Pouncer outfit.
Definitely a donor(in his name)Lower level basketball, behind visitors bench.
Very Obnoxious fan.
Had Printed and gave away many t-shirts(I personally helped throw some to students and crowd on more than one occasion)
HUGE TIGER FAN we hardly can talk to each other after a loss.
Has many great ideas and goes further than most to help promote the University, actually follows through with most of his ideas.
Its hard to think of all the things he does I am so mad about this thread.
Oh yea he and his wife are my kids GODPARENTS.
If more people would GET involved like the BOSSMAN instead of just talking about things the University would be in much better shape.

Man, I go away and you guys have a field day while I'm gone. BOSSMAN, you will henceforth be known to me as Billy Blaze. As in Bill Blazjowski of "Night Shift" fame:
"Prostitution, now to understand a word, you have to be able to break it down. PROS - ok, that doesn't mean anything....T!T, ok, I guess we all know what that means, TU, two, well you know, and TION, to shun, to push away, alright, forget about that one"
Now that was a true idea man that utilized other's ASSets to get things done!

I am finding it difficult to read this thread because of Bossman's yelling (ALL CAPS), and the fact that he butchers all grammatical and spelling reason. If you went to the U of M, don't tell anybody - it's an embarassment. A lot of people kind of ignore such things; I think that if you're going to do something, do it right. Have pride in yourself. Don't be a loser. Typing errors are certainly understandable, but the rest.....ugh!
Reading BOSSMANS posts is alot like "fingernails screeching on a chalkboard"!!!!
It's tortuous!!!

No, all caps irritates people and makes you look like your mind has done so much smack that you no longer have control of your motor skills.
You probably would have gotten 75% less grief in this thread if you typed like a human, and not a primate. Good luck sweeping floors.

All I can say is, if you accept being mediocre, that's exactly what you'll get.
As for your last bit, don't ask me any favors.
