The Old Dominion message boards lit up Thursday night like Mick Jagger’s birthday cake. So did Twitter.
Hundreds of fans ranted about ODU’s 0-3 start, the worst in school history, especially with the team’s biggest home game ever coming up next weekend against Virginia Tech.
An aside here: I’d like to caution a handful of my friends on the Internet that college football is played by kids. Many of them are teenagers. Most aren’t old enough to drink. Some are adults, yes, but to most of us, they’re still kids.
They read what you write. I’m not stomping on your First Amendment rights when I say it’s not cool to trash kids when they don’t play well, especially when they’re playing as hard as the Monarchs are playing.
