Correct. I think the fan sentiment around Ford was really warped by the last two years under Crews. The talent level dipped so sharply that we were all begging for recruiting instead of looking at the big picture. I haven’t gone back and looked but I’m probably one of those willing to or wrongly look past the red flags for a guy who had charisma and could bring in recruits. 

Yes. It’s on Vimeo. I can’t get a link right now. 
 
it’s called the Gray Seasons 

See the thing about that is…the criticism of May has nothing to do with on field winning or losing. Rather the dysfunctional culture under his leadership. 

Working for the Big Ten Network as an analyst 

The online campaign to dump Ford and hire Schertz/not hire Ahearn had a definite effect on the decisions made in the last few weeks.  
How can you not see this?
Burnergate doesn't happen without the online pressure.  That embarrassment was the tipping point in Ford's tenure.  There was no coming back after that.
The AD's office is still talking about the box of clown noses.  It was a big black eye for them.  May might still have them, he did for several weeks after.
The silly multi year flirtation with Blake Ahearn was put down completely by online pressure.
Schertz as a a candidate was enhanced exponentially by the support of him online.
But yeah the grassroots thing was stupid.
The AD, Board of Trustees, and big boosters all read this board and Billikens Twitter.  What we say does influence and shape their decisions.

You thinking this isn't already in the works, and not grass roots is adorable.

I would have advised Michael not to wade into those waters. 

Old school Billikens com type stuff. 

Correct. He could also have resigned and retired leaving the department and boosters without a figure head. Kinda where ISU is at. It’s not totally dissimilar to Biondi/Levick dynamic. 

nearly a 100 miles is not a home game.   
second, "jack a 3?" the timeout is likely called to calm his team.   get them in the right frame of mind and put everyone in the right place for reactions.    the play was likely always give the ball to a certain player that is best at creating his own opportunity.
third, the team lived and died on the thinking "we shoot threes or we get layups".   you can bet a layup in that scenario was unlikely to be allowed by seton hall.  remember there was a noticeable difference in size between the two teams.   seton hall was going to push and block the drive.  so if you are a great 3 point shooting team with only seconds to play, take what they give you.   besides, he got fouled on the shot and the zebras as expected for a team not a power conference team got screwed.
it's ok joey that you dont know anything about basketball.   i just appreciate so much you are a fan.   not a billiken fan, as you have shown the last few days you are already a schertz hater.  but if hating the billikens is going to be your M.O. for the forseeable future, i guess we just have to live with it.   keep up the great comments that gives us all an opportunity to comment.   makes life fun. 

This guy hasn't seen a movie since Grease. 

I realize this is going to come off nitpicky but a bit of me doesn't like the attitude of talking about Schertz like that when he's been so adamant to not speak on the situation. Seems a bit rude. Idk. Not shooting the messenger, Drew.

How fuoking dare you! Another coach stolen from ISU. So god damned insensitive.

Also the kind of thing that could blow everything up.

How is the corpse reanimation science coming along? 

The Vermont coach really the bed not fouling. Does she have the under? 

If you’re as worried as you say you are about it collapsing because of May, I’d probably ya know hold back on him. ISU is going to lose Schertz because of AD/University dysfunction. I’d prefer to deal with the necessary evil. But that’s just me.
