A response to our "All Weather Fan"

Greetings from Baronville!
Well we've encountered some resistance.... from students and administration alike. But we're trying for a peace offering with administration, but with our "all weather fan", let's respond to your post. For those of you too lazy to click on the comments link in our assessment of the St. Vincent game, I will repost his comment here:


Man, after the obviously qualified hide-behind-my-computer-blog-coach(charles) noted such a great improvement in play following the St Vincent game it sure would be great if we had an update from him regarding the away game at Hiram tonight....win or lose he obviously knows more than the man hired to actually lead the team (and the years he has spent ACTUALLY on the court coaching).... oh wait, he only bashes the team when it doesn't take a toll on his gas card....

First of all my all weather friend, we are not here to bash this team. We are here to give our opinions. We give credit where we think credit is due, and complain when we think something should be fixed. It's our opinion. And so far we have been equal opportunity employers, when a player does good, we say good job, when he does bad we say so. And as far as the coach goes its the same thing. When he does a good job we say so (St. Vincent), when we think he didn't we'll say so too (JCC). We love this team, the athleticism, the youth, the leadership, this university. We aren't here to bash. Show me one place where we have said somebody sucks at basketball. Or should quit. That's bashing. We don't do that. We respect the players and what they do. But a little constructive criticism, or praise for that matter, doesn't hurt anyone. We aren't mean. Otherwise I wouldn't be so nice right now.

Second we might not be coaches, but we've played one in a blog. Kidding. But seriously everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you want to create an all love fest blog go ahead. Conform to the University's unwritten policy of criticism is a sin. But we are trying to give our opinion, with a humorous twist on it. That's fine to disagree, but don't challenge our decision to "hide" behind our computers. We did that on purpose. There was already a witch hunt to try and get us out. And I don't see you using your real name either.

All three of us have prior playing experience, one of us even at the college level. We might not be coaches but we can still figure out that if you're going to keep 32 players on the roster, you might as well use them. Especially if they have some real talent.

Finally, we, like yourself, are college students. This blog is something we do to get out our "creative juices" and show our love for sports. But we're college students first. No I'm not going to travel 2 hours to go see us lose by 20 when I have exams starting the next night. That's too much pain for a recreational hobby. Obviously this team means a lot to you. Did you go (And it doesn't count if you had to go as part of the team or a manager, etc.)? If you didn't go and are worried about last night's score we still got it for you. It will be coming soon after this post. But in the long run we might go check out some away games, but for the most part we'll update you on the scores, but not much else.
So that's what we've got to say to you Mr. All Weather Fan. Calm down a bit. Don't get your panties all tied up in a knot.
It's just a blog.
It's just a game.
It's just a 1-8 D-III team.

Otherwise stop being an ass. My firewall I "hide" behind can't block that.
