Is Bob Marlin's seat even starting to warm up?

Mike,

I took a while to think about your question, and then actually discussed this with my wife since basketball games are something we have been doing together now for 39 seasons.

We have decided that we will no longer attend UL Basketball as season ticket holders. We will also not be RCAF members any longer after this year. We already do not attend Football games.

Next season we will buy tickets for baseball, women's basketball, and softball. We will be giving up men's basketball for women's basketball. We will also no longer give to the RCAF but will instead buy two additional tickets to support baseball and women's basketball. The idea is that the money from season tickets goes directly to the team, and RCAF is dealt out as the RCAF sees fit. I have lost respect for Marlin and would rather see my money go to the sports of my choice than basketball. Heck, I'd rather my money go to the dance team than the basketball team.

I will make a commitment that I will buy men's basketball tickets again when they change the coach. I do not buy football tickets simply because I don't enjoy going to football games.

Direct answer.... my seats will go empty even if we win every game from here on out to the end of the season. If the team goes to a post season tournament I will not go simply because I don't deserve to follow them after taking this stance.

I'm pretty sure revenue from season and individual game tickets aren't dedicated to the sports involved. Instead the money goes into the general fund.

I'm thinking there's a way you can support the sports you want without buying unneeded tickets.

Regardless at the end of the day FarmerBROWN can add or reduce the universities support to any sport making individual donations more show than fact. Perhaps a direct donation once the budget is set.

OldAlum, if you want to donate directly to a certain sport, join that specific teams club. Ie, the diamond club for baseball. Great perks and goes directly into those staff's hands.

Thanks for telling me that. I thought that ticket sales went to the specific sport, and all the others are under the control of Scott Farmer. I'm glad you told me this. Thanks again!

Even those donations are questionable. Sure your money will go to that sport, but that does not prevent the President or AD from cutting an equal amount from the university portion of that sports budget.

Well wasn't the UALR game special. We have an NBA prospect on our team who played on a national team and with the people we surround him with we can't stay within 20 of a team in a lower middle basketball conference. Our team can't beat anyone better than Appalachian State or McNeese State.

Bob Marlin did a fine job at Sam Houston but he has risen to a level that is above his coaching abilities. He is a VERY NICE man and I wish I could say how great he has done at UL but that's not the case.

It is time to cut bait and get back out on the water in a new boat. This time lets get us a captain that can teach his crew rather than hope his mates come in fully trained.

I agree

FarmerBROWN isn't buying up his contract this or next year.

NCAA appearance or bust

We are stuck with him. He has to go through his contract. Nice guy, just doesn't fit the bill.

I like Marlin and hoped he would be a good coach. That's not the case. Can Broadhead coach dudes?
