RE: midseason report card

[ALACOMBE]

Sheez, classic response: that's the way we do it here, always
worked in the past.  It is NOT working and the college game is
about the students (on the floor and in the stands).  If you 
lose that link you are changing the fundamental aspect of the 
game.  IMO you HAVE to go after your own students, and UC should
not take the old fart attitude of too bad for them.

This is the same argument I was making with Huggs and the 
freshmen of TODAY.  They are NOT the freshmen of years ago and 
if you want to reach them, YOU have to change and adapt.  Times
change, you can either change with them or become Archie Bunker.
