I agree 100% The current state of the MAC reminds me of teams in the Colonial Athletic Association a few years back where they were pretty much going through the same situation. VCU, George Mason, Richmond and Old Dominion all left for the exact same reason we are enduring in the MAC. Good point. I often wondered why a team like Saint Louis University is in the A10. Reputation???? And I wonder how they are doing. My buddy was an IT guy there. I mean a private Jesuit college laying people off? I'm sure athletics has to be affected there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. He will be missed more than most fans will ever imagine. Obviously Terry Pluto hasn't read ZN.o where several fans have stated they are bored with winning and are looking forward to our 15-17 win seasons ahead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think a lot will agree that something like that would happen next season whether he was here or not, unless some players REALLY develop. Its almost a certainty now that he is poaching our players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use a little comedy around here right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing DK and the Pittsburgh media cover all of this hurts. A) because I'm reading their positive, hope-filled articles and B.) Because I'd love to have that kind of coverage here.
