Why do you think "they" would tell you any different? Were you about to donate $100k and "they" said "nah were good"?

Exactly. I don't like the overly smarmy May but I think May is here to stay so long as the old boy network is happy and the budget isn't fuoked. This is probably too simplistic but I am looking at this from a dollars and cents point of view. We know there are a number of big $$ people behind basketball and soccer and those sports are 1 and 2 in revenue generation for the dept. so, on some level, it makes sense that May caters to those 3 programs and those teams get run of the facilities (maybe it is not "fair" but when does that matter in real life). It would also then make sense that May would run the rest of the sports programs on a shoestring to make the money work. Now if baseball or track began to generate real revenue or donors, then I am sure May would build a stadium or give them a free breakfast but until then he will let them eat cake like the rest of the "peasant" sports.

At the half, the fan walked down to the area above the hallway where the refs go to their break room and screamed something like the above at the refs. The older balding ref told DPS he was kicking the guy out of the game and he had to leave the arena. 3 DPS officers then talked to the guy and it seemed like he was going to get to stay. But then one of the officers went back to the referee break room and checked with the ref who said he still had to go. It was strange because I am sure these refs routinely hear much worse than what this fan said.

I feel your pain. This board has devolved into a den of cynicism and sarcasm. It seems to be dominated by angry, underemployed and unfunded millennials (+ ABomb & Brian) who have a lot of time on their hands. Any disagreement with their party line leads to group attack and shaming which drives those posters away. Oh well.

Yes, he has been hurt for a few games. Last game Travis said Thames took himself out of the game and said he could not go any longer.

Sorry, I have no other accounts. Just more evidence that you are deranged. I have to believe a lot of people think the same way we do; we just don't post 100 times a week like you and your cohort. Many, like me, probably rarely posted until this site became unbearable with continuous repeated negativity from a relative few posters.

Seems to be a very snowflake attitude. Buck up buttercup. You are supposedly a fan of a mid major basketball team. All you have is hope. You know going in that each season will likely end in "disappointment." If you need to protect your fragile feelings from disappointment then I suggest you become a fan of a team like Duke or Kansas. I really do not understand how some people doomwatch their favorite team.

Travis Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is real

I am not defending Ford. I would welcome a change as would most people ( I think). It is the repetitive posts that are killing me. That guy has said the same. thing a million times over the last year (maybe slightly exaggerating) - that is the "unhinged" part. We get it no need to keep repeating it.

This is the kind of repetitive, unhinged post that the circle jerk thread was made for.

To TheA_Bomb I will now leave this thread and let the circle jerk with the other nattering nabobs of negativism continue while the silent majority of Billiken fans realize this will be taken care of after the season by higher powers than a bunch of MBMs. When it is taken care of by those higher powers, please feel free to take all the credit.

Saying the roster is bad or recruiting is down is saying these kids suck. If you were one of the players on the team, isn't that how you would take it? My only defense of Ford is for what he said yesterday. There has been circle jerk of constant negativity from a relatively small amount of posters who say the same thing over and over in almost every thread. I kind of agree with him that it is a bunch of guys with nothing better to do.

Please go away. You are one of the more toxic/disturbed people on here. He has a bunch of kids - many of them freshman - who likely read this board and definitely read social media that says they suck and their coach sucks. What do you expect him to do? Agree? Of course, he is going to stick up for himself and his guys. It is also a great rallying cry for the team to prove the haters wrong.

I am pretty sure it was Dalger. I believe Ford yanked him after that and told the staff something to the effect of "Dont let me put him back in."
