RE: Well...

[Bearcat Tom]

Speaking of UCATS "reaching out to fans", I received a get this...UC hat w/ 
new C-PAW logo from UCATS yesterday with insert stating "thanks for your 
support, etc.".  I have to say I cannot remember UCATS ever do anything like 
this during basketball season.  It was almost always football related.  This 
along with Goin's parting comments shows to me just how damaged the athletic 
department is right now.
