It won't be scientific, but I'm just curious if the opinion "balance" I'm seeing in some JOL threads is really there. I sense there's a plurality of Category 1's, but then again, some JOL members don't post a lot. We'll see.
Select Category 1, 2, 3, or 4.
*** If you choose Category 4, please post an explanation in the thread below.
Thanks,

SATURDAY (December 21st) LATE PM:
Copy/pasted from post below:
So, we’re at the closing time for this poll.
I mentioned this in one of the threads, but the Rival’s poll software only allows a limited number of characters when creating the poll choices. Therefore, I had to be brief when designing this.
I realized that many JOL posters would have overlapping and conflicting opinions about the category options, so I intentionally designed this to gauge the significance of the more “emotional” fan sentiments compared to the practical realities of where college football IS at the present time. “Category 4” was placed in the mix for JOL posters clearly not wanting to pigeonhole themselves into such finite stereotypes.
Now, for a few personal observations:
- I expected a more even distribution, along a bell curve, with Category 2 being the peak. Obviously, that’s not the case. The threads / posts here on JOL led me to believe that Category 1 was much more prevalent among JOL posters that this poll suggests.
- Advocates of the various categories were ALL OVER the transfer portal threads yesterday. The rapid growth of those threads speak to the … “popularity” of the topic.
- @WaCoJacket is clear and concise in expressing the Category 1 point-of-view.
- @TBuzzIE is equally adept at expressing the Category 2 perspective.
- Some of the post replies in the transfer threads yesterday … were surprising … or over-the-top … or eye-rolling worthy … or profound … or flat out wrong. THAT … was something to see among this fanbase.
- One thing is certain: We ain’t clones.
That is all.
