Title: Tell me the story... (why so much hate for Gopowercat?)
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on July 24, 2011, 08:26:19 PM
I was talking with Trim on twitter yesterday and I was confused about something. I enjoy this board a lot, but I still don't understand the hate for Gopowercat! I feel like i'm missing the story. Fill me in! Did you get burned by them or something? I'll go ahead and hang up and listen off the air.   :ck:

I don't hate gopowercat. as a kstate fan, It's kind of bummer though. they have the ability to provide great kstate coverage and instead choose to hang out on aggieville barstools all day and tweet Dick jokes to highschool girls. oh well. and by they, I think you know who I mean. it could just be so much better than it is. it's just kind of depressing.

I mean, god forbid that someone with an enjoyment of kstate sports actually has some sort of standard or expectation for something better. there's just a "oh well, better than nothing blind leading the blind mentality" that permeates that place.

I understand why they don't change it....I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  They are serving up exactly what a large majority of our fans want.  Sure it would be nice if it was applied as we would like it, but I have a feeling there is more money for less investment in how they are running it now.

I can understand most of these reasons. I've never been a "member" over there. I've always used friends accounts, and I can assure you that I would never waste money for any message board site. That sucks though. I guess I never understood it, because doing sports radio at 91.9, I use to work with Fitz a lot. He definately "has his way" with the ladies! haha

I get a kick out of gopowercat, but mostly because some of the "OT" stuff is so absurd. 

As far as the sports coverage goes, it just seems like they're a bunch of lazy reporters (save for RC) giving boring information to a bunch of naive cotton-tops.

I personally didn't care for the type of clientele they had been attracting in the last few years, and I felt the quality of the content, overall, was starting to drop significantly.  Less recruiting updates, more game recaps (which I didn't need to pay for considering I got those for free elsewhere), and a lot of the writing was very formula driven.

Cassidy was the only one still writing there when I left that had ability.

And unlike some of the folks here, I don't really have a problem with Fitz.  I just felt like the guys he was farming his work out to (aside from Cassidy) weren't worth my money, and 90% of the people posting on his message boards weren't people I'd want to consort with outside of that message board, so I decided to come to a place where I liked the posters and felt like I got more for, well, nothing.

both of you should trust my tortas frontera Rick bayless ord review that I gave in a diffy thread this morning. move over rob and corcoroach, there's a new sandwich reviewer in town and he's got so many sandwich scoops, you'd think his last name was callahan. it's not BTW.

Hating GPC is like hating your uncle who loves speedboats and Bud Light and says odd, borderline offensive things at family functions. You definitely wouldn't want to hang out regularly and probably don't agree with him on much, but he is entertaining for a variety of reasons in small doses.

Student leaders were unwilling to even take the public transit issue to the student senate for consideration of student fees to support it. With all due respect to students, if they really wanted public transit, one would think they'd have taken a step to increase fees to help pay for it. It was the lack of a long term commitment that caused the tea party commission to say 'no thanks.' I also always thought public transit had a place in Manhattan. But I was surprised at the lack of commitment to a long term plan from the university and student body particularly. EMAW
