Just give it a rest. What is so hard about going to the off topic UST thread to discuss your tommies?

I was doing some research: The independent think tank...Iowa Research Institute of Online Polls suggest that statistical studies indicate a plus or minus 7.1% for margin of error. Seems pretty much a tossup?

+ or - 7 as a margin of error is a bit absurd. Besides you're now down by 20%.

I vote we keep it as is and have this argument until the end of time.

Am I a competing University with the Gophers? No. Just because you want the Tommies to get props at this site and I don't doesn't mean I hold any sway here. I come here to read about the Gophers and what's happening in that circle. I don't come here to read about St Thomas players or their goings on. That's great stuff for a dedicated St Thomas website.

Give up on your control issue. Clearly UST talk and other non-Gopher chat is included under the acceptable umbrella of GH under College Basketball. Like it or not, it is acceptable. Other teams fans come to GH and join in with the chat and its been generally accepted. But often they bring an interesting perspective. And yes, I remember correctly, a couple of them eventually being banned.

This is really not that difficult. Just don't read the UST talk. Obviously you aren't interested in UST talk and thats OK. There are threads that I ignore and never read. But others do. BTW I am not a UST fan nor alum. I just find the UM/UST topic interesting.

Or we could limit the argument somewhat. Two out of three days ain't bad as an option to end of time.

Most interesting revelation for me... !'m a Tommy fan now!
Who knew?
My "fight" however goodnatured is all about censorship. I'm ambivalent about St Thomas.

Probably tied for first on my list...I do not like Wisconsin or Iowa...always disappointing if the Gophers do not prevail but, those two hurt more. I'd be very disappointed if a precedent is set and they are the next to be banished because somebody from Wisconsin posts too often so we eliminate Wisconsin rather than the offender/s.

Just don't get the St Thomas hatred.

Your equating sending a neighbor who has stayed too long and needs to go home with hatred. I doubt many have hatred (unless you're an alum of a MIAC school), but rather it's an annoyance the the neighbor won't take the hint and go home now.

Vote Yes if you feel St Thomas basketball discussion has no place on Gopher Basketball Forum.
Vote NO if you would prefer to make the choice whether to read about St Thomas basketball on Gopherhole's Golden Gopher Basketball Forum. Basically leaving it like it was last basketball season.

This isn’t TommieHole.com. Start your own Tommie website and see if there is enough interest.

I don’t give a rats ass about St Thomas, just sayin

I find it ironic that apparently the one “Tommy Board” that exists you literally have to go through a vetting process to get an invite to. No one had a problem with this, but if you prefer keeping the gopherhole for the Gophers then it is censorship…weird.

I think "hatred" is a poor choice of words. It's more like a deep-seeded territorialism being displayed by loyal Gopher fans over a lost puppy out in the cold looking for a warm place to poop.

Anyone on either side of the debate complaining about a dedicated UST thread on the OTB is being irrational and uncompromising IMO. Maybe charge GH users $10.00 per year if they want access to the thread and send that $30.00 to Dinkytown Athletes?

Now if we really want to have some fun with it, put the new thread on the Politics Board and let 'er rip.

Same with me. But this isn't about UST or the Gophers.

This is clearly about discarding and removing any and all discussion from the main GH site that includes UST due to the whims and demands of certain posters who choose to read the posts rather than choosing to ignore them. Discussion which is fully acceptable under the current umbrella of Gopher Hole policy. Yet discussion involving fans from other teams or other basketball related topics are allowed.

Whenever there is an off topic site about UST I likely won't go there. I could basically care less. What I care about is the process and decision that the ownership GH has exercised under their rights as owners of the site. Either stand behind and allow "college basketball" discussion for all or remove it from their policy statement.
