I admire your enthusiasm and affection for your basketball team ED. The same goes for the vast number of posters here. I happen to be among you. Frankly though your analogy misses the mark. :-) -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

Depending on your taste, Angelina Jolie is winning the NCAA Championship and Jennifer Anniston is making the Final 4 or visa versa. RE has taken us a long way in a short period of time however if we were in Jolie?Anniston territory we wouldn't be having this discussion. Instead we managed to earn one of the last NIT spots one year. Perhaps a better analogy is we went from the teenage boy who watched porn on the internet (yes we were that bad) to getting a fairly cute date to the junior prom and a tad more homely one to the senior prom.
This a forum where differences of opinion are expressed. RE has to understand that he needs to improve in order to get the prom queen. The players need to understand the same thing. Criticism is fair if it doesn't go out of bounds.

You plain and simple can't build an NCAA program that quickly without cheating. I know Everhart will get us there, but the point, I think, is that is has to be sustainable, the way it is at Xavier and Temple. And no, Ron's job is not in jeopardy. I guarantee, anyone efforts to make noise to get him ousted, the noise to support him will be much greater. And there will be big-time support behind it. Not aimed at you, TMH. Just a little venting on my part. (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, August 15, 12:53:04pm
