You need to change your avatar caption. Looks like your "USF Pride Through Thick and Thin" is just lip service .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me nothing else matters except the bottom line which is winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the long term, successful BE programs like Syracuse and UConn. They didn't just spring up out of nowhere (I don't think, anyway). The programs grew with the coaches. How often does it work out like the situation we almost had, still may have, with the extremely high profile, established coach going into a program like ours and turning it completely around? Maybe I've just blocked out the situations where this has occured ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That money can be used for facilities, coaches endowment, etc..... I guess you dont really care if your only going to send it for reason "x" or reason "Y". If you had been sending it already and so were all 399 of your cohorts, the AD may make a different decision, but you dont and he cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever watched a Leonard Hamilton Show?I think the pro-Mac and anti-Mac stuff has been gone over ad nauseum. We agree to disagree ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am willing to give more money to end the embarrasment of Coach MAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
