Do you teach pre-schoolers? And then you have the impertinence to say no offense intended. Pretty passive aggressive behavior there. "Please henceforth objectify your responses"....Yeah, I'll henceforth get on that for you. Seriously, who do you think you are to tell me how to respond? Oh, and my pre-school friends enjoyed the IUPUI game, Wake game, the Coppin State game and even the ODU game, as painful as that was for us. One friend I brought went to ODU, so he got "enjoyment" from watching that game.
I never said that we should lose every game. I'd like to see the boys win in spite of Mooney. I don't think you can connect those who want Mooney gone because he's a bad coach with wanting us to lose every game (it sounds like you've made this connection). I'd rather not see us lose games we should have in the bag and Mooney get free pass after free pass by the access cravers. I'd like to see some accountability here. Right now I'm not seeing it.
I understand the flavor of the board is negative towards MBB and WBB at the present. It has been building for years and I don't think the "few" members of the boards are the only people. I believe it will likely continue until there is a change, either with GREAT results on the court or in the lead seats. I don't like the negativity. The purpose of my curious thread was to see if others were experiencing the same as me. The comments I hear off boards are the same or worse than I read here.
I'm ready for more actual basketball games to discuss.
I don't believe he/she personally attacked you in this post. If I'm understanding correctly the directive is NOT to personally attack others here. The negativity will continue until such time as a change is made in the program and/or there is success. There's nothing wrong with negativity. Personal attacks and insults are never OK on this or any other message board.
I'm thinking I might have felt offended at this post if it were directed at me, but hey, that's just my perception.

^This.The negativity around the program is worse in real life/real time than it is here on this board. People in my basketball circles consider our program to be a joke right now. For me, that's reason enough to make a change.

This is my experience as well. People who know I am an ardent Spider fan like to make fun of the state of our program now and deride me about it. It's all friendly banter, I would return in kind when their programs are down. But I have friends who are fans of VCU, W&M, JMU, UVA, and Tech and they all laugh about the state of our program. Obviously, VCU fans are the worst offenders.
Is "We might be better off if we continue to lose so we can get a new coach"; the same as "I hope we lose"? If so then I am guilty and will not make the statement again.
To Ulla: I am 70 years old and longevity doesn't run in my family. Although I am in good health, I can't be sure how many "next years" I have left. So while I respect your support of the coach, please quit dangling the carrot.
To VT: I am a retired police officer
I have 4 children, 2 stepchildren, and 6 grandchildren
I live in New Kent Va
I hate celery and political correctness

Rick, I've been liking your posts for a long time now, but really celery. There are far worse vegetables than celery. Cauliflower, Kale, and any of the Southern leafy vegetables that you have too cook for hours on end with bacon just to make them moderately edible.
Celery has a great crunch, excellent dipping potential, good with peanut butter.
97, I respect your opinion but you will never sway me on celery, I don't care how much peanut butter you use.
Now steam a large bowl of cauliflower, add one stick of butter, a cup of half and half, and garlic salt. Blend well. BETTER THAN MASHED POTATOES (gravy optional but recommended)
PS bacon grease works in everything
