And, it is not right of you, 11:25, to tell either of us what we should do or could do with our donation. <br />I am not happy with what has gone on with men’s basketball since Major was hired.<br /><br />I give money and have done so for over 20 years because basketball lured me. Football excites me and I would give more to support it if I thought basketball was pulling its weight. No matter, if I pull my money, I would choose to and ask for it to be used for football. <br /><br />I find Brad Lambert to be an honorable man and have not had the same feeling with Alan. I don't think Alan is a bad person. I think he is a weak person who has not displayed leadership qualities with his ever-juggling roster. It’s only 13 kids. You have 4 coaches. Do the math.

But I've donated a few thousand to the program myself and I'm not donating this year, either.<br /><br />I became a fan and fell in love with the program when I saw the support given to Charles Hayward. I loved how he remained a full member of the team during his illness, I loved how a seat with his name was carried to each game. I loved how he remained on scholarship even after he lost all his weight and I loved it when he came back. I loved how the fans helped raise money for his family a house after his passing.<br /><br />And I fell out of love with the program when the atmosphere completely changed. If a player fell ill today, he would be immediately forgotten and speculation over who would get his scholarship would be instantaneous. You rarely hear 'fans' support the team. Most just slam Lutz's integrity, slam the players, stalk high school recruits, and engage in petty, negative grudges with each other<br /><br />Fans who love and support the school find so much static from the school if they want to try to tailgate, or sell t-shirts, or take photos. Our leaders are polarizing idiots.

You want to take our sports out of the craptacular Atlantic 10 to the even-worse CAA and win LESS championships.<br /><br />But at least we'll be in a conference with Towson.<br /><br />- The school has a great track record IN SPITE OF Judy Rose.

The problem is that we got spoiled by Mullins/Watkins/first 5 years of Lutz. Don't forget that Lutz didn't take us to the NCAA his last 5 years, and one of those was a 20-loss season. His last season, we were 18-5, then completely collapsed once we got into the meat of the A-10 schedule, including the infamous UMass game where he sent 6 guys onto the court after a timeout. So Major comes in and sees he's got a bunch of guys who are head cases, ball hogs, and who all think they would win the NBA 3-point contest. He demands they play defense, and they didn't know how - plus, none of them could shoot. <br /><br />The comparisons to Godfried are apples to oranges. State had a talented roster and a rotten coach. We had Lutz, who is a good coach, and a roster that had very little talent. So the Lutz recruits begin leaving the program in droves. I have no problem with this. It's not just me being a homer (which I am, and am not ashamed of it), but every coach of a non-BCS school should be given 4 years to build his own program. It takes that long to have a complete, 13-man roster that are all his recruits. I will give you that Major is running off the last coach's guys so fast that you can make the call after the third year. <br /><br />I agree we are in the wrong conference - but I think we should be in the Colonial Athletic Association in all sports. The A-10 is a good men's hoops conference, but it is the worst conference on Earth in just about every other sport. Note that other than men's hoops, we have dominated the A-10; we have won more than 30 conference titles in other sports. The baseball team has to win 50 games AND the conference tournament to get to the NCAA because the A-10 is so bad. <br /><br />And yes, I will continue to defend Judy Rose because she has a very good track record of coaching hires - including men's hoops. You may not recall, but she got the AD job in the '90s when schools across the country were forcing their most famous coach to give up the AD job and just be a coach. We did that here, forcing Mullins to give up the AD job and Rose was hired. She hired Watkins and Lutz, as well as Loren Hibbs and Jeremy Gunn and the last 3 golf coaches who bolted as soon as they got the team in the top 25. Although we haven't played any games yet, I'm confident she hired the right football coach as well. Her only glaring error was getting us in the A-10. I'll pass judgment on Major after his 3rd season, and on Rose if Major, Lambert and the new soccer coach flop. <br /><br />As for Sherrill, why be up in arms? What did he contribute the last two years? That's right, nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
