Oh that's perfectly fine...

I'm well aware my posting habits can rub many the wrong way. But I'm always going to be passionate about athlete's rights (and especially their well-being). And if in the midst of that it turns some away from me personally then I'm more than ok with it. No one here knows me personally, so I have no reason to lose sleep over them not liking me as a person or a poster

Each of you can send your apologies to Darius Maddox at any point now...**
GCHokie34 • 03/22/23 01:47 PM ET
Pedulla is treated worse on this board. **
Big D • 03/23/23 02:58 PM ET
Here’s a good rule of thumb. Just be nice.
Squatro • 03/23/23 02:10 PM ET
It’s also a lot easier to be nice. I took some time to realize that but

Glad to hear the family is better.

Glen Allen Hokie • 03/22/23 10:51 PM ET
Pretty sure it was directed only at the ones with unwarranted comments.**
Jbohokie63 • 03/23/23 08:31 AM ET
I feel that the only people that took this as broad are the ones it was..
HOKIE75-79 • 03/23/23 07:42 AM ET
Bingo!**
Femoyer Hokie • 03/23/23 12:03 PM ET
Absolutely. He does it continuously and takes away from great basketball
VintonHokies • 03/23/23 07:28 AM ET
Great news delivered in a less than great way**
ombandit • 03/22/23 10:50 PM ET
I'm not here to deliver good news and have amnesia about how he was treated
GCHokie34 • 03/23/23 07:16 AM ET
You accuse folks of taking the low road, then you do the same...
ombandit • 03/23/23 11:14 PM ET
Here's the thing, though.
Will StewartAdmin • 03/23/23 08:25 AM ET
This thread is fascinating. Shows how thin and thick skinned people are.
Hokester • 03/23/23 09:30 AM ET
Don't count me as someone who is confident in anything other than hoops...
GCHokie34 • 03/23/23 11:29 PM ET
There is a general distain and lack of respect for expertise these days
VTKev80 • 03/24/23 06:00 PM ET
I totally agree with you and hope my post did not come across as snarky.
Hokester • 03/24/23 09:33 AM ET
Not at all! I agree with the sentiment around many coaches
GCHokie34 • 03/24/23 11:59 AM ET
Charles Barkley got into this criticism of coaches the other day.
Hokester • 03/24/23 02:25 PM ET
Ain't that the truth. I go to the internet for my medical advice. Then I
IB4TECH • 03/24/23 02:17 PM ET
Maybe get rid of the daily ***** thread, then...😜**
VT_Consul • 03/23/23 08:35 AM ET
Mute HokieGT and that thread will disappear for you.
Will StewartAdmin • 03/23/23 09:31 AM ET
Yeah, that thread is getting a little long in the tooth.**
Hokester • 03/23/23 09:01 AM ET
He was out for family matters. Took it for what it said
UberHOKIE • 03/22/23 10:50 PM ET
This kind of *****ing can do actual harm**
GCHokie34 • 03/23/23 03:40 AM ET
It's a message board. Not the BOV
UberHOKIE • 03/23/23 06:48 AM ET

I approve this message **
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/22/23 06:50 PM ET
I hope Darius comes back next season. Anybody else?
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/22/23 06:32 PM ET
I think Maddox’s mid-range ability was sorely missed.
marcbvtgm • 03/23/23 07:20 PM ET
His dad was ill AND he’s leaving. Not mutually exclusive situations **
JackDSML • 03/23/23 09:15 AM ET
I never insinuated it was.**

TomTurkey • 03/22/23 06:59 PM ET
all you have to do is put Maddux in the keyword for search and you will..
HOKIE75-79 • 03/22/23 06:38 PM ET
I am amazed at some of the blow back comments towards GC's post...

GCHokie34 • 03/23/23 07:21 AM ET
If a message board is like a cocktail party
st_andrew • 03/23/23 07:24 AM ET
Because I don't care if anonymous people like what I post on the internet?
GCHokie34 • 03/23/23 07:31 AM ET
Yep, the good Rev was the top dog for sure and his presentations were
Nortazhokie • 03/22/23 08:15 PM ET
There's one explanation for someone that likes to blame a group
WildTurkE • 03/22/23 05:34 PM ET
Some "in the group" can read and move on. I give GC 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿.**
TomTurkey • 03/22/23 07:02 PM ET
I doth think you protest too much...**
HOKIE75-79 • 03/22/23 07:01 PM ET
I agree, and think there is a group of those here today
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 07:19 PM ET

Lol... thanks for showing those for us, GC. Shows exactly what you mean.**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 07:18 PM ET
put Maddux in the search box key word and the links will be provided..
HOKIE75-79 • 03/22/23 07:03 PM ET
? GC said he would if asked? I don't understand your comment.
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 07:13 PM ET
I do apologize!! after reading a couple of your other posts, I knew I was
HOKIE75-79 • 03/22/23 08:09 PM ET
No worries. I guess we have all made errors like that. I know *I* have.**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 08:10 PM ET
I agree. But the problem is those who think their opinion is fact & attack
13HOKIE • 03/22/23 05:43 PM ET
Pal, you might want to look in the mirror.**
seacain • 03/22/23 04:30 PM ET
The treatment of him on this board was a disgrace this season.**
Gobbler-100 • 03/22/23 04:14 PM ET
glad Papa Maddox is on the road to recovery
ShockWaveVT • 03/22/23 04:08 PM ET
you can just say who the person was instead of saying "each of you"
hokieton • 03/22/23 04:01 PM ET
We don't have to defend what we didn't do **
TomTurkey • 03/22/23 06:53 PM ET
I'm sure that's what he means**
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/22/23 06:52 PM ET
Who? Whatipostlike?**
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/22/23 06:29 PM ET
For one.**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 07:14 PM ET
I doubt he can recall everyone to whom he refers...
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 05:36 PM ET
He knew they wouldn't apologize.
TomTurkey • 03/22/23 08:05 PM ET
He could do that, but he never does. He likes to tar all people who ever
IronBlood • 03/22/23 04:20 PM ET
I listed specific examples above...
GCHokie34 • 03/22/23 07:30 PM ET
Sure, after the fact. You also continue to be bad at math. 6 posters != 70%
IronBlood • 03/22/23 08:22 PM ET
I don't see where he shot everyone. I don't even have a mere flesh wound!**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 09:18 PM ET
another protestor**
HOKIE75-79 • 03/22/23 08:48 PM ET
I'm not a bad guy. I'm not dead. I'm not even shot. I'm not even offended. **
TomTurkey • 03/22/23 08:44 PM ET
I think you'll recover! 😊**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 09:12 PM ET
TSL limits the pics to 4 per post...
GCHokie34 • 03/22/23 08:39 PM ET
Zing!**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 09:13 PM ET
Stop clouding the issue with facts! 😉 (TIC)**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 08:02 PM ET
Each of you?**
extremehokie • 03/22/23 03:55 PM ET
GC loves to throw little jabs and shade at Hokie fans, it's his shtick**
Apex-Hokie • 03/22/23 03:59 PM ET
Shtick? Pointing out ignorant people who are wrong due to ignorance?
hokieZ71 • 03/22/23 08:00 PM ET
He's correct and justified in this instance**
tylerhokie • 03/22/23 05:38 PM ET
And multiple times he conflates non-TSL content with TSL users
WildTurkE • 03/22/23 05:04 PM ET
Fans get emotional, true... about strategy, recruiting, officiating, etc.
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 05:51 PM ET
I'm guessing maybe 3-5 posters said this? Is that what this whole thread
WildTurkE • 03/22/23 06:04 PM ET
I think it was more than you say, but maybe just a few making many posts
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 06:55 PM ET
Do not try to make this about GC. The board has been full of know it alls.
HOKIE75-79 • 03/22/23 04:21 PM ET
GC made it about himself with the way he worded his post. He wanted a rxn
Apex-Hokie • 03/22/23 04:41 PM ET
Whats worse? Those that revere his every post vs those that disdain him
HokieRat • 03/22/23 05:23 PM ET
Yes
TomTurkey • 03/22/23 06:57 PM ET
You lean on the overly revere side. But just my opinion, through experience**
HokieRat • 03/22/23 07:50 PM ET
I do? Really??
TomTurkey • 03/22/23 08:49 PM ET
Amazes me how the poster *making* the post, is the lightning rod here...
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 07:57 PM ET
I agree with you, but its the ripple effect that agitates me personally
HokieRat • 03/22/23 08:25 PM ET
Aren't you doing that very thing? The fact this thread is as long
UberHOKIE • 03/22/23 10:45 PM ET
I think we left off at the next 🍺**
No_Limit_Hokie • 03/22/23 11:42 PM ET
Maybe he does it because a number of Hokie fans deserve it.
Walkin` Willie • 03/22/23 04:01 PM ET
Bingo. There's way too many s*** heads on this board.

UTPr0sim • 03/22/23 04:41 PM ET
What exactly would people send apologies for? **
VT Pez4Life • 03/22/23 03:11 PM ET
The post is a euphemism for "get off of DM's back."**
TomTurkey • 03/22/23 07:14 PM ET
For saying things like " it appears Maddux has quit."**
vtbball80 • 03/22/23 04:09 PM ET
For being whiny sports fans who say he abandoned the team. Several on this
HokieAl • 03/22/23 03:48 PM ET
Nice tweet from the Mom. Hope he can come back to the squad.**
Maroon Baboon • 03/22/23 03:06 PM ET

Wait to see if he plays with the team, takes more time off, or transfers to
HokieRat • 03/22/23 05:20 PM ET
Similar to recent attacks on football players without any proof
