This news is a letdown. Its going to take a lot to recapture the fan base. This is sad.

Apparently the dopes on the propaganda page (Facebook basketball fan page) were not even aware that “Marlin’s success was in question.”

Yes, really.

Maggard: "tournament play showed us what we knew we were capable of doing."

Actually: Tournament play showed us what we knew, Marlin teams underachieve all year and try to suddenly "turn it on" at the end.

Yes, really.

It's as magical as the UL football fan page....

These basketball cultists will blame everything, even a podcast that barely even TALKS about basketball, except the actual problem. It’s remarkable.

Take a step back and look, EVERY team we have has cultists.

As far as Facebook fan pages of anything, look up the phone number associated with it. It usually makes sense then.

I was thinking the same thing. Marlin should never be in the same sentence as Coach K. Good Lord, this AD is clueless and will forever mire in mediocracy.

If you read some of the comments there, they're the massive diehards of the basketball program. But I notice that there's a sense of "groupthink" to the point where I am not sure if some of them really know what most fans outside of that group really think about the program. The fact that one person had asked why the university has to publicly address this issue tells me that some of them only see the program within those few diehards.

As far as the actual decision, the administration decided that one more year was good enough. No matter the reaction, we have no control of that outside of whether or not fans decide to support the program.

On Scotts show someone emailed saying they were excited for Marlin to be back .... Scott told them they were in the minority lol

I still can't get over buddy on the propaganda page asking if "Marlin's success was in question." That's some next level delusion ____. Like Rustonia level.
