FungoHighly Regarded and Beloved Old Timer

After reading and posting for three years on a college fan message board I will give you some advice. Be careful what you say and how you say it. Be thick skinned because fans have no compassion for parents and no tolerance for player errors. For the most part they support their COLLEGE ...NOT the team NOT the players or NOT the coach. The majority of posters are armchair quarterbacks and are continually changing lineups and critiquing every player at every position. If your son does great on Sunday he’s the hero on Monday but if he does poorly he becomes a terrible burden and needs to be benched. I've seen more than one parent get highly upset over the un-moderated college message boards. The only player that is safe is the one on the bench.
