Since it has been slow on here

This may have been discussed before, but this would be kind of cool against a team that USU is a huge favorite to beat. Taylor U students stay quiet until after the 10th point is scored then they go crazy. They also are all costumed up.
Here it is:

The Silent Night game looks like a pretty fun tradition, but it brings back nightmares of the protest game against Denver after the apology letter where the student body was silent for the first several minutes. I forget how long. The team came out flat and we lost the game. Some of the players were quoted as saying that it definitely affected them in a bad way. We all know the story of the next several years of Aggie basketball after that point.

It's possible this would be a fun tradition... just brings back really bad memories for me.

I kind of do too. In fact, when I first changed to this avatar, @ProvoAggie actually threatened to ban me. I'm surprised he hasn't already to be honest.

I support banning Treesap until he changes his avatar back. Your avatar became you. When you posted, in my head it was Silas posting.

Guys... Let's give him some time as he mills it over.

Frankly, I like the new. Silas was one of my all-time fav Aggies, but never did like it for an avatar. Just another opinion!

I tried to name my third son Silas. I was close to putting it on the birth certificate while my wife was recovering from the delivery. I did not do it. But to this day, I call him Silas and not the name on his birth certificate. Many of his friends and teachers do too.

Oddly enough I tried to name my third son Treesap.

Thank God! I was pretty depressed not seeing that avatar around.

Please don't do that again.
