Yes, it's entertaining. I've loved posting in game threads for a lot of years. Others see things I don't. Hopefully, I bring something. It's one thing to be critical of a player when they make a mistake, I have, but it's another to call them trash. Doyel has a long history of the latter.
Pdub had enough and stopped it for a while. I fully support this.
It's surprising to me that you are taking this stance.
Not sure why. I've been critical of doyel in game threads for a very long time. It isn't like he got a permanent ban.
The "very long time" part is relevant. We know now that doyel's purpose here isn't to rile people up, and this place has plenty of those types that freely walk around. We just disagree with doyel's pessimistic, off-the-cuff takes. If you've been a KU fan long enough, and both of us have, we all have a doyel in our KU friends group. We routinely tell that guy to shut the hell up, but I'm not going to oust that guy while letting trolls infiltrate and hang around. Especially if I am a dumbass moderator that preaches being a "freedom of speech" warrior without knowing a damn thing about what that actually means.

True.
Or when you defended the illegal play on the 4th down for OU KU.
Maybe that was it.
Or maybe it was both.
The KU-OU ban was one of the most deserved bans ever--you're an admitted instigating troll and this is a KU board.
The chiefs ban, if true, is outrageous, but you deserve one of the shortest leashes here.

He shits all over KU players every damn game, every damn year.
and posts tweets.
thats 98% of his posts.

To me, this is two separate issues. There are obvious trolls and Pdub puts up with a lot from them. Whether they should get the axe or not is another discussion.
In this instance, Pdub got tired of doyel's shit and put him in timeout for an hour.

If he only did the former, he would have been gone long ago. We have 2 decades worth of posts to know that he has multiple personality disorder when it comes to KU: game threads vs non game threads. Doyel is a humongous KU-homer. A guy like MICH shits on everything KU with much more regularity and in all threads. And yet I still think MICH should be allowed to stick around.

This is a fair point and if the one hour thing is true, I agree it's less egregious.
But this is also the national tournament and to the board's credit, some people really like coming here, and have good reasons for doing so. You said yourself that you liked and needed these game threads for your own reasons. I think doyel needs these game threads, too, maybe for different reasons and certainly a different style. We were all on edge during the 2nd half of that game last night.

I didn't see any of doyel's posts, but even if he literally called a KU player a piece of shit, the precedent is that is allowed.

Yeah, I get it. I still support Tdub though.

All of us need to vent sometimes and use the board for that. I enjoy the ribbing we all get here. I deserve the slaps to the head. Here though, I have to respect that PDub was changing mojo. I can't argue that it didn't lead to the win. Even though I picked up the Georgia Tech nerf ball,

He got two one hour timeouts.
I have given others timeouts before.
I enjoyed reading the game thread v Texas Southern. Of course it helps if KU is destroying teams. But there was also something missing from the thread. Last night the gamethread was back to "normal" and with us struggling and Creighton shooting lights out, I just wasn't feeling it. We immediately went on a run. I needed a break.

I think it was our faith, PhD. A shared vision and a quiet Doyel which won the game and made the team think for a time they would get through this. Almost like a holy vision without Planned Parenthood clinics in flames.

I don't think it was deserved. I think I said the kid made a smart heads up play to grab the ball from his teammate.
But you're entitled to your opinion.

No thanks. We need Dave or 1 of the other "bigs" in.
The run that changed the game was with Wilson at the 5
But that's how you use small ball. To change things up, throw the other team off. It's like playing a zone, the other team isn't prepared for it. But it doesn't become your base set. If they game plan for small ball we just get outrebounded and give up layups. But it's great to use in spots.
Self went away from it as soon as they brought Feazell back in. He was worried about matching up with a big who scores 3ppg. I think that's dumb. Our run immediately stopped and Creighton came back.
