Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
I actually just shot an email out to Hartwell asking that he ban anybody from ever rankings posters as favorites on this board to avoid hurt feelings. Not that mine were hurt or anything...pilotaggie wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 11:02 amYoung I am offended that you didn't include me on this list. I provide no insight and mostly useless conversation fodder. You have hurt my self esteem so I am going to take my ball and go home. Before I get there I'm going to stop by the AD's office and demand you add me to your list.YoungBloodAggie wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 10:14 amIf I had to pick three accounts on this forum to protect forever it would be:

2. taniataylor. A great second biggest fan of Jordan Nathan and she always gives us great insight into what the guys are thinking.
3. YoungBloodAggie. That dude is hilarious.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
I can think of very few times I had much to argue about Jordan's effort or execution. During his sophomore season, I noticed that he did get out-efforted by the senior. That extra spark that comes when you see the end of your career coming made a difference.taniataylor wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 10:37 amI've been ok with it, if ChicAggie were here he would tell you, WHEN Jordan has messed up I have called it in the chat before anyone else. I raised a boy into a man and I don't sugarcoat anything....keep in mind that he will mess up but overall he can play, so if you can also give credit where credit is due and not always be negative, your comments would be so much more welcome around hereUSUBlue wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 10:17 amSo back to the topic, you understand and are OK will fans talk about Jordan missing a block or dropping a ball? We can actually watch the game and see it for what it is, without having to praise someone just to keep the parent or family happy?taniataylor wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 8:48 amI don't understand why I would have to be removed from this board anyway. In the 2 1/2 years that I have been on this board there has not been one time I have been at all emotional about Jordan, his mistakes or anyone's comments. I have brought facts to this place, based on having an inside scoop. I participate in many discussions and in chat during a game.
USUBlue has assumed that Jordan and myself will just fizzle off into the sunset once he graduates. I am a parent, not an alum. He gauges our dedication by how much money we will or have donated. I have loaned Utah State my son and they have given him an opportunity to earn a degree. I support my son and have become a fan of the Aggies because of him and will stay that way once he has graduated and when he becomes a graduate, he will not forget the Aggies. He and I are forever grateful for his opportunity here.
This year was an exceptional year for them, (Jordan has received 3 game balls this season, so while he may not be NFL caliber, he sure made an impact. He has made great strides in his people skills and maturity & I am beyond pleased with that)
You can go to Mr. Hartwell and say what you want, it won't change anything. I read the rants of the other family and while they may be excessive, I don't think it's fair to single out a player by calling out how bad he or she may be. These athletes give it their all when they're playing and they read this board, you can't build someone up by breaking them down. Sometimes it's forgotten that alot of these athletes are far from home for the first time, maybe grew up financially struggling and are trying to become something other than what their circumstances have laid out for them.
Now that # 11 is gone wherever he's going, and # 12 is off to med school or wherever his dad ends up sending him, no more 3-headed monster in the slot. What this means for Jordan finding an extra gear, I do not know. So many variables, especially who comes in as JC or grad transfers. It will be fun to see how things develop in Spring- and Fall-ball. I see him, if he really does start getting some snaps at wide-out, becoming a possession-type receiver. He's already established that he's not afraid of going across the middle and catching it [most times].
What I'm also wondering about is his blocking. As an upper-classman, will he lead the way with the younger guys and improve his explosiveness there?
So many questions.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Tania, you are awesome! Always been a breath of fresh air on this board.
As for your son. Whose to say whether he is an NFL type receiver or not? So far he has been playing on a team with Green and Tarver, who are pretty dang good, and will get a chance with the NFL. We had a d lineman years ago named Greg Kragen. He was good, but few thought he was NFL material. He was given a chance to try out with the Denver Broncos. He stuck. Soon after he played a little. Then he started. Then he was an All Pro for a couple of years. There was a d back name Earsal McBee back in the mid 60's who came to Utah State to play basketball. He ended up playing both, and then a great pro career with the Vikings. A GREAT basketball player for USU named Cornell Green who was All Pro for several years for the Dallas Cowboys. Didn't play College football.
I could tell you more and more stories about Aggie athletes who were not really considered "pro quality" players.....who made it, and some made it big. My details on those stories may be a little foggy as to the details, but they happened.
So, whose to say where Jordon will end up in regards to the pros....even his wonderful mother? I have seen him work magic with many punt returns, and I am sure there not only more of that, but more as he gets more time at receiver.
I will sit back and enjoy the watching.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
In H.S. Jordan never had to block, the passing game was all about him and the one outside guy. Blocking is new for him since he got to USU. He was leaps and bounds better this year than last as Yost said NO BLOCKEE, NO PLAYEE.....I'm sure he will improve.USU78 wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 11:24 amI can think of very few times I had much to argue about Jordan's effort or execution.

So many questions.
And you are exactly right, Jordan got put behind AV, not because of the skill set because they are about even, but because the last coaching staff wanted the SRs to get a chance to put some numbers up. The start of the season #16 & #11 switched off more, then there was the concussion before the CSU game for Jordan and he lost momentum there.

Thank you!
I think any D1 player has an opportunity to play at the next level if they dedicate themselves to the game. I just don't tell Jordan that's his destiny, if he gets there, AWESOME, but he needs his degree 1st and anything else is a result of the opportunity he has been given on the field and how he takes advantage of that, until then he will contribute to the wins and I'm sure the losses for the next 2 seasons

Blocking is a mindset. Old linemen like me are always puzzled when we hear stories about guys playing however many seasons of little league, 4 years of HS, and a couple of years of college, and are just getting used to the notion that there's another way to be useful than catching or running fakes.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
He's fine, but because he had one last year, that one was very bad (during the Hawaii game) he had to sit out longer - but he passed all protocol within a few days.USU78 wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 11:59 amI'd forgotten about his concussion.

His HS coaches just never taught him the fundamentals of blocking and he just never felt he had to - He was a little spoiled then by the coaches because of his ability. He played corner too and only wrapped up a couple of times, he focused more on interceptions. His attitude has improved so much now and he doesn't play with the sense of entitlement anymore.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Yea, his redshirt year was a challenge. He flat out told both Wells he was better than Rayshad (remember him?) and that he was only starting starting because of who is Dad was....I was soooo mad at him for that but sitting out humbled him quite a bitUSU78 wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 12:16 pmInteresting.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Ha ha ha! I’m not sure Jordan was wrong about Rayshad.
I think Blue is saying more parents should be like you Tania. Critiquing their skill is not saying we don’t like them or they should be kicked off campus. We are simply pationate and competitive. Some parents (Not Tania) can’t see that.

I think Blue is saying more parents should be like you Tania. Critiquing their skill is not saying we don’t like them or they should be kicked off campus. We are simply pationate and competitive. Some parents (Not Tania) can’t see that.
I get Blue believe it or not....

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Although this is a fan's message board and most here are passionate about the Aggies, players should become habituated to the idea that people will criticize their play. This is a sad reality of life that there will always be "haters". Even the people that like you will be critical of you in certain ways. Every adult has to face this reality.bull wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 12:39 pmHa ha ha! I’m not sure Jordan was wrong about Rayshad.

I think USUBlue's request, albeit not put in the best words (strange for a lawyer), is valid because he's basically asking a parent who reads this board and posts here with a certain frequency to give an opinion on this subject.
I'm very grateful that tania finds time to do this because it's helpful for the fans to understand what it's like to be a parent and a student athlete. So, thank you! Please keep it coming.
Regarding critiquing players' performances on the field, I really don't think it's a big deal and I wish fans wouldn't get so bent out of shape about it. The players already know which voices they should listen to most and which ones they shouldn't.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
I was reading the other posts that Blue was talking about and they did get a little butt hurt when their student was being criticized, my point, really was that you can't always be negative. I mean, we rarely heard from Blue during this season, probably because there wasn't too much to complain about. I just would like for him to participate through good and bad.AggieFBObsession wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 12:56 pmAlthough this is a fan's message board and most here are passionate about the Aggies, players should become habituated to the idea that people will criticize their play.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Or you ignore the positive that I post. I remember specifically posting about one of Jordan's touchdown catches where he laid out in the end zone and made a difficult catch. I watch for the very good -- I assume most scholarship players can do the average and don't comment much on those things. So I watch for the very good and the poor. Positive or Negative -- I don't really care how you define that.taniataylor wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 1:03 pmI was reading the other posts that Blue was talking about and they did get a little butt hurt when their student was being criticized, my point, really was that you can't always be negative.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Stating that a player is "limited" isn't much of a statement. 99.9% of players are limited. Even pros. Not every player is good at everything. Nearly all have limitations, things they don't do well.
What I've seen in sports is that some coaches focus on the flaws of their players, constantly criticizing and working to develop and improve that problem area. While it's good to improve weaknesses, you can't do it at the cost of a player's strength. Players and coaches can become so consumed with that weakness that the strengths disappear. Other coaches find the players strengths, make use of them, putting that player into a position where he can excel at the things he does well. The coach then knits players together in ways where each player's strength compliments each other into a team concept. Coaches who do this are usually much more successful.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Exactly what I thought. Positive v. Negative is perception. I haven't said anything negative about Jordan -- he is an average player at the D1 level, and his work ethic and attitude keeps him from making many poor plays. When he makes an exceptional play, I take notice and comment. There are plenty of cheerleaders and bandwagon fans that will praise the average and ignore the poor, I'm just not one of them. No change here Tania -- someone's got to bring balance to the love fest.taniataylor wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 1:30 pmHere we go....I didn't say Jordan specifically, just that you don't have much positive to say which is why no one heard much from you this season.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
I never said only praise should be given to Quinn & you’re the one who also said you knew Quinn’s family? I don’t know his family, I know him, but that never was the reason I commented on threads. My comment was correcting your inaccurate information, that is all. I am also friends with other players I have commented about, I don’t understand how that would lead to talking to the AD? It wouldn’t do anything, but if it makes you feel better you sure could. I haven’t seen one member of Beans or Taylor’s family comment, I don’t understand your distress for this concern.USUBlue wrote:A serious question. Others have fought with Mark Davis about his son Kyle and how good he was or was not, and his transfer; there are many other examples none of which ended positively. Others have come on this board and expected their kids to be praised rather than evaluate their play.
Now we have a basketball family, the Taylor’s, and their friends (like aggieup15) that thinks only praise should be given to the players. It is now considered “ harsh” to say that Quinn doesn’t have great athletic ability or lateral quickness, and had a bad defensive game against Air Force. Only praising his shooting, rebounding and lack of turnovers is acceptable. Apparently we all need to become cheerleaders for these thin skinned families.
So my question to you, Tania, if we post on the football forum that we don’t think Jordan is an all-conference type player, but a solid receiver, Should we just go to war? Jordan doesn’t appear to be an NFL type player, so there must be limitations to his game. Can those be discussed, or by simply having families on the board, have we limited real conversation. In short, Is it healthy for parents and their families and friends to be on these boards where they stop by for a year or two and then leave. Can they really allow others to be objective without their bias becoming just unreasonable I want your thoughts Tania?
Along these lines I am going to be meeting with the A.D. to discuss the appropriateness of the families and their friends to be on these boards. Perhaps there needs to be an AD policy against players and their families being on fan boards. They still can self-promote on Twitter, etc. I can’t think of many situations where families being on the boards has ended well.
Just like you have your opinions, it’s ok for others to voice theirs if they think you’re wrong and can back it up with stats and facts. No need to cry about being a cheerleader or “thin skinned” if people are simply correcting you with actually statistics. I’m sorry if you offend easily, I’m just here trying to voice my opinion on this program, didn’t mean to make you cry.

Now we have a basketball family, the Taylor’s, and their friends (like aggieup15) that thinks only praise should be given to the players. It is now considered “ harsh” to say that Quinn doesn’t have great athletic ability or lateral quickness, and had a bad defensive game against Air Force. Only praising his shooting, rebounding and lack of turnovers is acceptable. Apparently we all need to become cheerleaders for these thin skinned families.
So my question to you, Tania, if we post on the football forum that we don’t think Jordan is an all-conference type player, but a solid receiver, Should we just go to war? Jordan doesn’t appear to be an NFL type player, so there must be limitations to his game. Can those be discussed, or by simply having families on the board, have we limited real conversation. In short, Is it healthy for parents and their families and friends to be on these boards where they stop by for a year or two and then leave. Can they really allow others to be objective without their bias becoming just unreasonable I want your thoughts Tania?
Along these lines I am going to be meeting with the A.D. to discuss the appropriateness of the families and their friends to be on these boards. Perhaps there needs to be an AD policy against players and their families being on fan boards. They still can self-promote on Twitter, etc. I can’t think of many situations where families being on the boards has ended well.
Just like you have your opinions, it’s ok for others to voice theirs if they think you’re wrong and can back it up with stats and facts. No need to cry about being a cheerleader or “thin skinned” if people are simply correcting you with actually statistics. I’m sorry if you offend easily, I’m just here trying to voice my opinion on this program, didn’t mean to make you cry.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
Your wish is my command Tania. Just wanted to make a point and get your take (since I consider you more reasonable), Positive v. Negative is a perception. Jordan has been treated well by me -- he's earned it with his play; not by the color of jersey he wears, the family or friends he has, or any other sense of entitlement. Cheerleaders think that people that aren't cheering are negative; fans wonder why we don't win more and want answers. I get it! My part of this thread is over.taniataylor wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 2:39 pmOMG - I wish this thread didn't even existUSUBlue wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 2:38 pmHey dude, this is the FBall board.

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
USUBlue is an attorney!?!! Seriously? Where did he get his JD? BYU? Is he a personal injury attorney? This may be the most self-aggrandizing, attention seeking thread in the history of this board, and I am somewhat ashamed to contribute to its continuation. I'm going to run to the principal's office? Wow.
Oh, and I agree with all of the plaudits for Tania. She has definitely earned a title. "Mayor of Merlin Olsen Field?" "Her Majesty of Maverik Stadium?" "Goddess of the Gridiron?" "The Lady of Logan?" "Big Blue Baroness?" "The Aggie Abbess?"
Okay, Big Blue Baroness may not be the best choice . . . .

Well given your stellar high school career at Logan High, I don't imagine you should be judging anyone else's work.ChicAggie wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 2:56 pmUSUBlue is an attorney!?!! Seriously?

Re: Tania - Should We Fight?
LOL. So you ARE a PI attorney who earned his JD from BYU? You have no idea who I am. Did not attend Logan High, and did not get my JD from a crap school like BYU. Just guessing BYU based on your attitude on this board.USUBlue wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 3:00 pmWell given your stellar high school career at Logan High, I don't imagine you should be judging anyone else's work.ChicAggie wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 2:56 pmUSUBlue is an attorney!?!!

LOL @ scheduling an appointment with the AD because people don’t agree with everything you say on the internet.

I'm actually really smart, probably smarter than you are so if you disagree with what I have stated in this post, you are likely wrong (and dumb).
