Re: Deal or No Deal

[Justin Register]

I just hope that no one from the team reads things on here very often.  I
don't think that hearing how bad you are, embarrassing, pathetic, would be
better with the old coach, can't win 10 games, etc. helps at all.  These
kids realize that they are at a disadvantage.  Mick realizes that.  I don't
think those of us that positively support them disagree with that.  Yet it
does no good at all to bash them day after day.

I know this is a forum for all opinions, and I respect every one's views,
but the constant negative comments do get old.  We used to be in
CUSA....easier road for any coach compared to the Big East.  Even when we
were a high seed we never were really any one's pick to win it all,
excluding in 2000.

Whether we win 5 games or 29 this year, tearing down Mick and the team
doesn't help.
