Strictly age-related, I guess, but I have a tough time making out what the images are supposed to be.

To quote Mick Jagger, what a drag it is getting old.

Also, am I no longer a mod?

Quote:Your signature doesn't just contain orange.... IT CONTAINS THOUSANDS OF TENNESSEE FANS FOR WHICH IS THE REASON YOU HATE ORANGE!! It's even a picture of a game where UT blew out Memphis!! It's even a picture of a game where UT filled over 1/3 of the entire stadium at your own house!!!

*yanks hair out*

you must be color blind...that's Memphis (blue) v. Mississippi (red) in my sig.

that's a VAST majority Memphis crowd...i believe we won that game 44-34.

they are ugly and the orange MUST go...it's pretty simple.

They are still ugly today.

I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse, but total votes even show more unfavorable votes than favorable. If you are gonna ignore what the people want, at least change the Mods icon. If not, put my red "X" back...please.

Here is my poll from the Memphis board. Apparently not many come over here to see this poll, but it is overwhelming against these icons.

your position is irrational, and thus void, as long as you have orange in the avator and sig that you CHOSE.

No it's not. The only orange allowed anywhere in Memphis merchandise and logos is in the Tiger. Therefore, your position is irrational, and thus void.

Is it realy this hard for y'all to understand, or do you just enjoy being hardheaded?

how can you hate the color of your mascot based on the fact that its your rival's color? there is no light blue on Duke merchandise, there is no red on Tech merchandise. yall are the ones with the issue here.

kpig, I don't have a dog in this particular hunt, but since I did throw my two cents in on a similarly minor point, I feel totally qualified to chime in here.02-13-banana

Your point is very easy to understand. You've made it quite clear. It's not irrational to hate orange but love it in your mascot. It's absurdly compartmentalized, but not irrational. It IS irrational, however, on the basis that EVERY sports fan hates SOMETHING about SOMEBODY in sports. Feel free to hate whatever you like but don't forget that there's plenty of fan hate to go around. You want the operators of this message board to react to your hatred of orange? Fine. Pick a color that NO ONE ELSE ON THIS BOARD will hate. What'll that get us? Black and white? Puce? Mauve?

Now, you'll probably say that not enough of us really hate colors like Memphis hates orange. Maybe, maybe not. But the point stands: this board has to suit a lot of people. Trying to cater to everyone's needs is impossible, and can be an awkward precedent for the Admins.

Do I see your point? Yes. But there are litterally hundreds of other colors to choose from. The only one I, and anyone else from Memhis has a problem with, is orange. Is it really that hard to change?

Besides this, it doesn't look like, based on the results from all polls run on the subject of the icons, that there are very many people that like them at all. Period. So are they gonna just get shoved down our throats anyway?

Well said....

P.S. How did you expect to get any real results from your poll? When you ask the question like that, the only way to answer is to side with you.



How would this poll turn out?

Was Hitler a great guy or what?

1. Man was he awesome and that mustache kicked ass.
2. He was single-handedly responsible for getting us out of the Great Depression....You go boy.
3. He wasn't that awesome.

That poll is completely biased. If you had used the same poll and not said ANYTHING negative about them, I GUARANTEE you would see different results. But if people think that some Tiger fans think that they are "uggggllllyyyyyy", then they must be..and Tiger fans have to have their way.

Sorry to inform you kpigout, but there's a lot more than just Memphis fans here. A lot of us like the icons. Quit griping about a freaking color. Step down as mod if you care that much.

The lobbying by you and SCC too poo poo this poll hasn't even gotten you to break even. I'm willing to say if I lobbied like you two have only on the Rice board, the results would be pushed back towards 3:1 ... 5:1 for.

Don't tell me what to gripe about, and don't tell me to step down. How stupid is that? As for alot of you liking the icons, your own poll begs to differ with you. They are ugly and they clutter the board. Can you not read? Just look straight up.

No it wouldn't. It's your poll, with your wording, and more folks dislike than like the stupid icons. So does this mean you are gonna ignore the results of the poll? Yes, or No ?

How about you just make your own, post a poll on them, and lets see what people think than. 5 bucks say people will still complain no matter what. It's just plain irrational to think you can please everyone.
