Put it all up there.
I'd like someone in the media to ask that question to Dr. Maggard or anyone who can answer it. At least the darn outright Conference Championship. I'd want to tell anyone who is willing to listen that we won! I do it, for sure.
Someone should...its not a loaded question, but one that has to be asked...Quote:

They sure know how to stretch out a "banner" year.Quote:

I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation besides just being incompetent & apathetic to the umpteenth degree.Quote:

Why the disconnect for football?
We should have something that everyone can see that recognizes our Big West Championship, Sunbelt Championships and National Rankings. This is not hard. This is inexpensive. This is very effective at building cULture and intimidation.
This issue is CENTRAL to the cULture. It should be the guiding light of the program.
There is a lot I don't understand about this university, but its failure to do this is the most baffling.
It's almost like they are expecting NCAA sanctions and don't want to have to take it down.Quote:

It’s clear that they don’t want athletics to become important. Fossil DNA will be strong for multiple generations.Quote:

Sorry but a banner doesn't intimidate anyone.Quote:

There is no foundation for future success unless one embraces the success of their past.Quote:

It isn't about intimidation dumb dumb. It's about the pride of ownership of excellence. You don't put banners in stadiums to scare other people. You put them in places of respect. To be honored by your future players, fans & coaches. If the reaction by those players & coaches is right, they will do the intimidating.Quote:

And I would have hung right over that bell no one wants to ring. This administration reminds of the song American Pie. They are the most depressing group of supposedly educated people on Earth.
Excuse me, but doesn't the school across the basin have something called "The Intimidator" ?Quote:
