Question -- What are the main differences between the MAAC and the CAA in your opinion in terms of fan support, gameday atmosphere, alumni support, etc ?

Brady -- "The biggest differences, to me, are the better resources, arenas and crowds that the CAA attracts to its venues. The other difference, and it is significant, is that most of the programs here in the CAA have a much larger and stronger demographic, in part, due to the very large alumni base each school yields. JMU really has state-wide appeal. In the MAAC, that is definitely not the case. It is more local community based."

I really keep my fingers crossed this guy falls flat on his face.

He was terrible for our program.

I think he is just blowing more of his lies up the local JMU community's ass. The Poughkeepsie faithful have already gotten this pile of crap when he was our coach.

JMU is irrevelant to 95% of the state of Virginia and the 5% that cares will soon see this wolf for his real colors.

In about two years the JMU community will be flocking to this board to compare notes and by then our program will be flourishing under Chuck.

Does he really think that fans, students and alumni of UVA, Virginia Tech, Virginia Union, William & Mary and all the other colleges in Virginia would drive out to the middle of nowhere (Harrisonburg) to see a CAA game? Heck, they'd probably rather drive to Maryland to see the Terps vs. an ACC opponent!

I'm not dumb but JMU does have a wide base. Wikipedia says that it has 17,000 total students, 16k or so are undergrads so that's about the size of 4 Marist's.

Also Virginia Tech is the one in the middle of nowhere, actually the corner of nowhere.

Statewide appeal is because JMU is a public school.

I think you guys need to get over Brady leaving because he did what he thought what was in his best interests, which he has a right to do. You can think that oh he must owe Marist somehow because they gave him a contract but he needed to do what he felt was in his own interest so he thought to moving to a bigger program.

So stop being so bitter.

He certainly doesn't have to bash his former school and the conference we play in at every opportunity he gets.

He certainly did not have to leave the cupboard bare when he left.

He certainly did not have to exclaim unfinished business while he was looking for another position.

I just wish he would shutup.

And oh JMU is not a relevant program in VA.

Just Brady shoveling his crap yet again.

So everytime JMU loses it puts a little smile on my face if just for a moment.

Author: GGaff [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 10:42:12 02/28/09 Sat He's a bit out there. I agree. JMU doesn't have any bigger following than Marist. Chuck will out recruit him. I di like Wells and Semenov. If Marist had them this year, they would have been a top 4 team.
