They raised their children in Harrisonburg. All of their friends are there. I think some of you forget these folks are people like you and me. Money is not the sole motivation for waking up every day. Quality of life is important too and Harrisonburg lends itself to a good quality of life.

As much as we may criticize administrators, coaches, players, etc. I think most folks are venting that said person isn't performing up to certain standards or expectations, vs having a personal grudge. We do sometimes cross the line and it is unfortunate. But how nice a person is or how good their intentions are has very little to do with measuring performance and results.

Alger and Bourne absolutely have their strengths and everything they do may be (in their minds) the best for JMU, but I personally feel they are not the right leadership to take JMU to its full potential. My loyalty and passion are for JMU and while I may tolerate an under-performing bagger at the grocery store, I don't have much tolerance for it when it comes to my alma mater.
