For the past few months (since the end of basketball season) I just do not feel a connection with the
university sports programs. A lot of grumbling, player defections and dismissals, poor coaching
decisions, etc. etc.

Football: The university tried the infamous "let's see what this under qualified man can do" only to
be sadly disappointed. So, what do they do? Let's try this mistake again. Its not fair to dismiss
Ron Ianello without giving him an opportunity. Really? Ianello is likely to fail. He has already
created turmoil in his program and he has not even coached a single game. Just an overall bad
feeling about the state of affairs with in the football program.

Soccer: While pleased with last year's performance; how can you not be; there is something just
not right. Player defections with excuses. The university dragging its foot; so to speak; over
upgrading the facilities which the program earned. Feeling of tension is what I get.

Basketball: What idiot tosses out a slimy rumor of a major player defection in the midst of turmoil
within the men's basketball program? Darn good thing I'm not a moderator. Or, bingo ... banned.
That was the worst "joke" ever on this board. Coach has his hands full righting a badly tilted ship.
It is not often that a team produces a 24-11 season and leaves its fans with a sour taste.

Athletic Director: No leadership. No vision. No plan. Hire your cronies. Grade "F". blah

UA should distance itself from this website, at least as far as direct contact with fans is concerned. But if they are wise they will continue to use back channels and indirect communication to get out the information they want heard. It's what Texas is doing with their Rivals board, manipulating the information being sent out to give themselves an advantage.

How would UA go about distancing themselves from this web site? Is their distance from this web site currently less than infinity?
