Don Homer/ty97: Look back at Hunting's posts about it. UMD is a whipping boy now.

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Nov 19 '12, 07:41

The only way that this sways me is if the University reinstates the 8 sports that they cut.

The students are livid, it's all because Loh is from Michigan.

Responses:

By the way, the student govt endorsed the move... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:43 2
- Let's put it this way, the student govnt endorsed, the student body did not. They are enraged. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:45 1
  - The whole student body, or the small echo chamber you're familiar with? -- nm - nubby Nov 19, 09:04
This is not meant as a dig: Aren't you often whipping boys in the ACC? -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 07:42 2
- We are the last 2-3 years when we fired the best coach we've had in decades for a pretender. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 07:45 1
  - Turgeon's recruiting (I've said this before) astouds me. UMD is 2-3 years away from being a Top 5 team consistently. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:47
so you're worried they're going to suck even more against stronger competition? -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:42 8
- It sure as f**k ain't going to spur interest in the fanbase. "Oh, we're getting beat up now by Purdue! I'm glad I paid $20 for these tickets!" - Will Hunting Nov 19, 07:48 3
  - Football season tickets are already lower than ever, I can only imagine what happens to bball with no Duke, UNC, NC State, Syracuse, etc. - MDH Nov 19, 07:52 2
    - I think the Big Ten's basketball isn't 'bad'...it's just not aesteticly pleasing. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 07:54 1
      - Exactly. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 08:02
- Look at Missouri. They went from (relatively) strong in the Big 12 to celebrating a victory over Kentucky in the SEC. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 07:43 3
  - true, but that isnt just conference related - tRuMaN Nov 19, 07:54
  - One year is anecdotal data. I can take your Mizzou and give you a Texas A&M. - ty97 Nov 19, 07:44
  - I'm sure they'll be welcome in the Big East in that case. Plenty of chances at a winning record there. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:44
