If my child decided to run away from home......I could explain it away by saying it is the "age" we live in. I could make excuses to justify in my mind...why it wasn't something I could have changed. Or I could look at the problem my "family" fostered and attempt to change it.
That's the problem. Change is feared....for so many reasons...but it is truly what is necessary.
We are "losing" the talent on these teams! Because they are quitters? I don't believe that. These kids have a small window to be successful in their collegiate careers...and they see apathy! They see attendance that is negligible, a fan base that lives for football and no hope on the horizon for change. These kids are sold a song and dance on how they can make a difference...be the start....of something great! They are young...and they are not patient....like a lot of you are. I would assume that staying the course is a sign of patience.....and not apathy...or worse yet...stupidity.
I am not blaming the fans. This is entertainment and you pay for what you value....what you enjoy. There hasn't been a lot to enjoy over the years.....therefor a lot have chosen to "change the channel".
I would hope things couldn't get worse....but maintaining the "status quo" is even worse. Something has to change.

So....1AA locks a thread about basketball......stating football has started and no one cares about MBB.....then starts a thread about a new basketball signee? Go figure. Pot...meet kettle.

Better yet...after doing the math....get rid of "tweedle-dee" and "tweedle-dum" and you can apply the $111,000 in savings to Slocum's pay. They don't seem to be allowed a whole lot of input.....and Slocum could be rewarded accordingly. Of course though.....who would do the post game interviews with Rob?

Lots of numbers to digest, Penguin. Don't rock the boat.....shatter the dream....blow the smoke away. Mirrors and smoke have fooled many a "viewers" over the years. Often times hard to digest the "facts"....that's why we rely on stats so much today......they can be formed....like clay....to be whatever item you want to portray.

Guess it goes to show.......you can win without a "top paid" coach. Bonuses? What a novel idea. Think the value of the bonus would be more than offset by the benefit the university recognize? Utter brilliance!

1AA........open your mouth and remove all doubt. Geez....I can't believe what you posted. Sarcasm, I hope? The rim is at 10'....not 11. And as for the kid who works to get to 80% shooting?......sign him up w/ Slocum! I will personally fund his scholarship, take his classes for him and attend all games! Of course, it will only last one year...until he gets fed up with the program, coaching, apathy, environment etc...and transfers out.
By the way....where are your football seats located.....the 110 yard line?

One thing has always confused me when it comes to you, 1AA. You are more content to invest in "B" movies, better known as 1AA football, when you have the stage to produce "A" movies, known as the NCAA tournament. Guess it all goes back to confidence. You have no confidence YSU can compete in basketball...yet still believe they can be the big dogs in football. You are willing to take no chances otherwise........yet won't admit that what was....was special......and will probably never occur again.......! Move forward and quit trying to reproduce the past. Sequels always fail.

Great comparison 1AA. You're comparing a coach who wins 30 games a year, sells 15000 tickets 15 times a year, ranks in the top 20 each year and competes for his conference title annually.....to a guy who has never won 30 games in a year( or two years combined), sells 1500 tickets max, won't even play top 20 teams, and hasn't sniffed the semifinals in his conference tourney! Stick to your Rock band comparisons you made on the other thread, that way I won't know if you know what you are talking about.

Where will the women bowl, 1AA? I would presume that these are off campus venues. Any sport we might win at I am all for.
