With our improved record this year and hopefully building and improving our record year after year, our overall Media Coverage will increase. Maybe even spark some interest in getting a contract to broadcast our games on MSG, Yes or the new Mets network.

WE NEED A NEW COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING THE UNIVERSITY!!! WE HAVE SOO MUCH TO SHOWCASE!

IM SOO SICK AND TIRED WATCHING Xavier, LaSalle, Rhode Island, Dayton, St. Joes Commercials during media timeouts. Why cant the great A.D. and staff get the ball rolling? How much would a decent commercial cost to produce using real students? 50K? 100K? 150K? Why doesn�t an alumni step up and get the ball rolling??

I just dont understand this. Wouldn�t this be the next logical step after getting our early 90's looking Website revamped?

Some of these other commercials show casing the other schools look great. If I were 18 again, some would actually make me want to check the school out. WE NEED TO SHOWCASE THE GREAT THINGS WE HAVE TO OFFER!! IT�S EASY, RELATIVELY CHEAP AND WOULD PAY OFF TEN FOLD.

FRANK AND STAFF PLEASE TAKE A BREAK FROM YOUR DAILY SOLITARE AND TETRIS TOURNAMENTS AND GET THE BALL ROLLING.

We don�t even need Denzel and Mary Higgins Clark, use the students. Xavier had an excellent commercial today during the game showcasing the campus and the students. Plain, Simple and to the Point!!

WHY ARE WE ALWAYS 10 STEPS BEHIND? WE REALLY NEED A NEW A.D. WHO IS HUNGRY, PROACTIVE AND WANTS TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING FROM DAY ONE!

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY-WE HAVE THE ONLY TENURED A.D. IN THE COUNTRY!

Frank & Co. might be playing Tetris and Solitare, but I doubt they're having tournaments. That would involve competition, and they've proven time and again that they're no good at staging competitions. Totally agree about the commercial, but that's probably more of a University responsibility than the Athletic Department's alone. However, the AD could volunteer Fordham athletes to appear in NCAA and A-10 spots, and I haven't seen any of that. Finally, I'm not sure whether the proper term for Frank is a "Tenured A.D." or a "Sinecured A.D." . Both are probably true. (NT) -- John, Thu March 10, 2005 15:33:59
- Very outdated, the new games is Spider Solitare. Might be to much for Frank to handle though. Who knows though, everything else about the Athletic Office is outdated though. (NT) -- Ram04, Thu March 10, 2005 16:50:25
  - Outdated? Why, is playing tetris on an abacus outdated? (NT) -- FXL, Thu March 10, 2005 16:59:08
    - It's impossible to play Tetris on an abbacus, give them a little more credit. I think they might be able to play it on their PCs running Windows 3.1 or the original Gameboy. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Thu March 10, 2005 17:14:19
Frank doesn't do quite a bit, but a commercial is likely not his responsibility. We probably employ a public relations type who should contract the job out to professionals. (NT) -- Jimbo65, Thu March 10, 2005 15:50:12
I'd put up billboards, right outside of St. John's (among other places)...Fordham Basketball...There's a New Game in Town (NT) -- FUman'00, Thu March 10, 2005 17:52:19
The commercial came on during the game and everyone at MJ Armstrong's gave at big old raspberry. I think it called for a flagrant foul as well. (NT) -- Ram '91, Thu March 10, 2005 23:48:46
