2009 Sunbelt Recruiting Rankings

_ Look pal, you take many things said here and turn them completely around. I did not say the administration was doing a "fine" job but rather, I asked how you bangers can sit here and say that the current administration is failing us when the key components have been in place for such a short period of time. All they've done is do improvement projects to the exhisting structures we have. The school system is in the middle of athletic and academic budget cuts and some of you sit here and complain about the administration and their lack of fortitude for removing coaches for inadequate performance and insist that they put these ghost funds into better coaching staffs and better facilities. In a world where we are not strapped, sure I understand that but you are apart of the same freaking group that blames everybody else when something goes wrong. We lost that game, I blame the coaches. That player chose to transfer, I blame the coaches. This tends to be the trend. I remember your rediculous rants after we didn't get into the I-Bowl and you wanted Bustle gone. You spoke completely irrational and realized you were wrong. I'm not going to do that here but I'll call you on your BS! _

I never called for Bustle's head when the I-Bowl issue transpired. You went back to mid-year posts about me being very upset with the coaching staff over player and play-calling when we were hobbled at QB. You twisted my words. Your "puzzle piece" concept is off in relegating the responsibility to all parts equal. The admin is the host of the puzzle. I was making it clear that "fans" are not the problem and never have been. They do not and will not miraculously begin giving and giving more money by being guilted into doing so... if the guilt message is even getting to the majority of them.

I have always stuck to my guns that our admin is at the root of our issues. I do not want a single coaching "change" until this admin releases the logic of how we are "improving" not just "changing" coaches. I don't belly-ache like some of these panty-wasted whiners about every damn thing about our school. I focus on the source... and I know I have it correct.

I have praised and celebrated the new facilites, our hard working contributors, and have never diminished their importance. But, I find it the over-ripe time to get the "right" private funding system in place. I know how the old one works... small click and hat passing. It has a choke hold on our program.

I have never ever banged on "ghost money" being spent on anything. I am no part of a group of "freaking people". My opinions are my own. It is the administration in charge of and being paid to plan, organize, and orchestrate the athletic department that will either get this ship righted... or we go back to rolling dice and hoping. Does that mean I am not a big fan and that I am not putting forth my money? No. I am.

I have slammed the snot out of the nothing-but-doomsday-dummies on here. So, do not group me with the chronic complainers. I may stop short of kool-aid euphoria, but I am a highly motivated optimist. I simply expect good solid thinkers, paid to do the business, to step forward and do what other successful athletic departments are doing. They are out in front of their fanship, are very vocal, and make real commitments to measured success.

What "key components" have been in place for only a short time? If there are "key components" in place, and I don't know about them... it is the best kept worst secret ever. We are always spending what little money we have on something, if that is what you are talking about. Have you not seen a pattern? Announce something... build something... but never really get over the hump.

How about we all take a trip to our competitors' dens? Do you not think they are not announcing, building and passing the hat just as vigorously? Those who succeed have elevated high-end private funding systems. They have community juggernauts on board along with the entire fan pyramid that not only fund modern marvels... they make sure the public servants elevate "their" game. They stay on them... because they are invested in the outcome. That is what makes things tick in this world, whether some culture-limited, academia-gifted, real-world-crippled, forever-losing, moron likes it or not. Peace Zephyr. Your Pal, J1M

Suitable for framing...

For what it's worth, I think you and Zephyr are "dead on balls accurate, it's an industry term"...

[DestinCajun]

_ ...and if we can't or won't pay that, whether it is through the general fund or through a booster, then we should drop football, seriously.

You could be losing it, seriously.

[Civil Cajun]

_ T, you ever notice how you sound like a broken record? I know you've explained this at least a half a dozen times since Feb. 4.

Z _

CDS huh? I am just telling you what I see, I am not sick.

[anhil8tor]

Think we could ever aspire to "Be like Troy?"

They were competitive in football, now competitive in baseball. If they finish top 5 in baseball... it might be the year of the trojan!

You are right, your opinions are your own however it seems that you have little patience for the opinions of others. If you would like to resort to name calling, do it in a PM where I can address it there.

What name did I call "you"? You contact me via PM if you need to address me personally. I cannot deny your comment about my lack of patience for the opinions of others... but I don't believe I called you any bad names. The "moron string" was meant for our prior administrators (and current if they do not act soon). Is that what you took as a direct insult?

Yes, I apologize if it wasn't directed at me but it seemed vague in its direction.
