Football program blows out WVU in the Pinstripe, Basketball team makes it to the final four, Lax team to the championship game. It was about as good a year as the school has had overall.

Last year football team in transition, ok season under the circumstances, Basketball team starts incredibly strong and collapses at the end with two straight first game exits in the post season, lax gets destroyed multiple times early in the year, recovers, and then loses to Bryant in the first round at home. Last second wins over BC and Minny are the only thing to keep the year from being about as bad as this school has had in a while.

This year, football appears to be in free fall, hoops could really struggle in ways we aren't used to, and lax is facing another ACC meat grinder.

Times call for a strong manager with an attention to detail and a lot of good will stored to guide these programs through rough times.

This school could be making changes/transitions in all three programs in the next year or two, and not in the best of circumstances.
 
I'd just like to interject briefly to say that I don't anticipate the hoops team struggling "in ways we aren't used to." There's a lot more talent on that team than a lot of people realize. It's not a Final Four team, but it's a team that could surprise a lot of people. In Kaleb I Trust.

You may be right, but a lot of questions right now. Kaleb is struggling to master the point position and offense will be hard to come by. But they may surprise.

Enormous pressure on Joseph. We've had lots of freshman points in his position but this year we don't have much around him coming back who have proven themselves night in and night out. I think reaching 20 wins will be a big accomplishment if the upperclassmen don't make a big jump this year.

Your right but the difference in talent from the fball team to the lax team is night and day. They will be a loaded senior laden team most likely a pre season top 3 squad. I'd give my left --------- for the fball team to have half the success of the lax program.
