Special year in Basketball

[cajun4life]

I am confused by this post. Are you really pulling against the guys who chose to come here and represent the university on the court. If so, you are actually telling Jordan Brown you don't want him to be rewarded for his efforts. I don't think that is the case.

That’s exactly what I am saying. It has zero to do with the players on the court. Everything to do with a regime change. It’s past due.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I like what I see but we lack some frontcourt depth and overall production from our reserves plus we've seen promising starts before end up in duds.

We also have not played a true road game. The ETSU game was a semi road game due to their proximity to to Asheville. Let's see how we do next week. A tough trip does not mean we can't have a good season however. Guys need to learn from the adversity they will have on the trip. The guys do have a team first mentality as evidenced by the 20 assists they had last night. They also are somewhat responsible for the improved student support as players themselves have been promoting the games on campus.

SMU and Drake will be real road tests.

I don’t care how much I dislike the coach of any sport as long they are wearing vermillion and white I will pull for them.

Example. Marty Fletcher, Jerry Baldwin and others.

Everyone has their opinion and I respect yours. Personally, I could never pull against guys who wear the Ragin Cajuns uniform in any sport, regardless of the coaching situation. That usually takes care of itself. I think most fans will agree with me in that they never pull against the Cajuns. I can tell you by the work they are doing the staff believes they will be successful this season and be here next year. Every competitor will have the same attitude. They know if things go south, a change is likely.

Wow. Your hatred for Marlin has you openly hoping we have a losing season. What a terrible attitude for a cajun fan to have. We should never hope any of our teams lose. For someone who goes by cajun4life, that attitude does not indicate you are a cajun for life.

Ouch

You just can’t pull against the athletes who wear Louisiana across their chest . . .

Hoping for a team to lose and pulling against these hard working gentlemen who represent us and devote their time and energy to something we claim to be proud of has to be one of the most perverse and foolish attitudes I've seen on this board. It's embarrassing.

Rooting for a team to lose is unfair to the current year players.

Keeping in a mediocre coach who puts a team together every 6 years is unfair to the players the other 5 years.

Which one is supporting losing more?

Are we talking about players who choose to play for said coach? Those players? It’s unfair they are coached by the coach that recruits and signs them? This is your contention?

. Players on squads that had little success or mediocre success came here voluntarily. They were more disappointed than the fans that better results were not obtained. Few thought their lack of success was due to the coaching they received. Now
If you want to say some of those guys wOuld have been better off playing elsewhere, I would not argue.
