Message: [QUOTE="wfschrec, post: 1157464, member: 361"] Ok so our situation isn't great but let me ask you this: 1.) Did Boehiem spend his practices plugging his players with basketballs and being completely verbally abusive? 2.) Did SU hire someone with a history for being completely abusive as their AD? 3.) Is SU draining the state funds to maintain their AD? 4.) Is SU so desperate for excitement that the fanbase storms the field after beating a 2-3 squad? 5.) Is the administrative staff at SU responsible for bringing in a crippled football player for a commencement address ... says just kidding then says ... oh ok, you can speak? 6.) Is the SU staff running around making off-color Sandusky jokes? (Note this really doesn't bother me that much but they have apologized for doing this and running the T-shirt campaign so it bothered a lot of people apparently) 7.) Ah hell do I need to keep going at this point about decommits and all the other stuff that has gone on with RU and how fans outside of our scope see them? I have cousins who actually went there and think the school has become a complete joke and no I am not joking. I get your point about Farve and Montana however it works in both directions, you want to dismiss him because he came from D3, it does not mean he won't succeed and if last season was any indication he did run the offense well at the tail end of the season. From the perspectives of perception as a whole our problems are smaller. Yep we have had bad press conferences and a coach came across as arrogant and jaded ... big friggin deal ... look at how Herrmann looks ... it isn't even close and she is the AD. Look at the areas you are picking on with the respect to the football program and then compare it to that train wreck on the banks of the Piscataway ... its not even close, they are a bigger joke in hoops. You are looking at it from the wrong perspective and FWIW we were a better team last year and won a bowl game ... don't really feel that has any bearing on the disaster in NJ. [/QUOTE]
