during b-ball games? There are literally dozens of them that are often merely incoherent and incongruent stream-of-consciouness type observations that literally have nothing to do with football. Please create a single master GAME THREAD prior to tipoff and then post and aggregate all of your thoughts, feelings and observations about the game, basketball and Brownell there. The Football Board thanks you in advance for your consideration and attention to this matter.

No one even looks at the basketball board. Why would they post there? It's essentially the equivalent of posting into Quarantine. Or the Donor's Den.

I get that, that's why I didn't ask them to post on the basketball board.

Oh, ok. I just read the subject line. Your post had too many words in it.

For future reference, what constitutes too many words?

Is there a range or a magic not to exceed number? Does it change daily or even hourly based on your mood? Maybe you can quantify it (assuming that's not to many words)?

It seems as if it's over three lines, I'll just skip it.
Ain't nobody got time for that. You were cutting it close.

I space my lines out - so it seems like not a lot of words.

Kinda like this
Fire Brownlee
He has sucked and suckled as much as is humanly fathomable.
Glad we got the win last night.
Win the next one !
Keep overcoming the doorknob that is also our "leader".
See - this has as many words - actually more - but you read it due to spacing.

but rather the actual word. I stopped at incoh….
something or another. Scanning ahead I observed several words with numerous letters that could be a stumbling block.

I think the basketball board should be the default board when it’s basketball season.

You'll see a lot of baseball poasts in the the basketball forum if that were true.

Maybe, but a handful of us are football year-round. Maybe the basketball fans might realize nobody goes to the basketball board because nobody wants to read posts about basketball...just sayin'
I thought it was a good suggestion...make a game thread and everyone watching b-ball posts the moment-by-moment in there...I doubt you could herd all the cats into the box though.
I think we'll just have to man up and put up with b-ball posts on the football board. There could be worse things.

Appreciate the support. If the mods were motivated they could shuttle these in-game posts off to the basketball board themselves, but apparently they have more important things to attend to. That's fine. I get it. Hence my direct appeal to the b-ball posters and my suggestion for a single game thread, but still here on the Football board.
I will also add that are actually a LOT of us that are football year 'round. Not just a few.

I'm confused ... Is this a Football post or a Basketball post or an Amphitheatre

Bumping this up as a gentle plea and reminder to our b-ball brethren.
