Agreeing with Pitt on some things
Yep, I am on a few points.
Number one: BOYCOTT ALL ETSU ATHLETIC HOME EVENTS. After hearing countless rumors on some of our coaches not being supportive, TO HELL WITH ALL OF YOU! I say don't go, and if you do go, wear the other teams colors. Marky you've said it all along, and now I agree.

Number two: FIRE DAVE AND PAUL. I'll also add to that Barbie Breedlove and her lard ass, Wilsie Bishop for being incompetent, Wayne Miller for incompetent bozo. Go back to selling cars you old fart.

Now is the time as they say in hockey to take the gloves off. Don't buy ETSU shirts, don't go to games, don't support the teams, and have nothing positive to say. Fact is we're winning the right way? We have the lowest collective GPA in the conference, by far the lowest GPA among basketball teams, we're not recruiting first of all American athletes, second of all Tennessee athletes, and thirdly local athletes, and no Tony, KNOXVILLE DOESN'T FREAKING COUNT! And oh wow, the volunteer jv coach at Science Hill turned HBIC of volleyball recruited a girl from SHHS last year (who quit the team by the way) and one girl from South this year.
How bout our softball team-they're almost .500, yet couldn't score oh VHSL group A power James River right now, and I'm not sure they could beat John Battle OR Gate City.
Collectively the grades suck, the players aren't graduating, and the fact of the matter is that it DOESN'T MAKE A RAT'S ASS HOW MANY FACILITIES YOU BUILD, you're now a second class university, with second class athletes, and will be treated as such. I've always said we can blame previous administrations for not having its' act together, NOW I CAN BLAME YOU DAVE AND PAUL. THIS MESS IS ON YOU.

Dave can be fired- if enough pressure is put on. And I hope he does, im sick of him.

But Paul Stanton is not going to be fired, its not realistic. At the end of the day, although athletics are very important to a university, school spirit, etc., academics are more important. And the man has done(or at least been perceived to have done) a good job with academics. The faculty love him, the media loves him, the Board of Regents love him, hes just not going to be fired at ETSU no matter WHAT he does with athletics. I believe he could literally drop all sports and still not be fired (as long as he didnt say anything insensitive on the TV or radio).

My point is that attention should be placed on Dave Mullins if everyone thinks a change in the administration should take place.

Im not sure what the chances for Dave being fired is either, however. Even though everyone knows he hates football, he did protect himself alot with the student vote. Bad leader, but good politician.

Both Stanton and Mullins are lousy leaders and good politicians.

And I'm sorry, but I think it's a flimsy arguement to give Stanton a pass because of an academic rise.

What is the role of Stanton in academics? Seriously. Does he personally hire professors (no). Has he taught a class?

The Med Tech Corridor has been a disaster. Athletics have been a disaster.

The art dept. building is in such a state of disrepair it literally has been falling apart to the point of people getting injured.

And University High is so obsolete it has two bathrooms- side by side- for both genders because it is a relic from the days of segregation.

Great moral undertone you're giving the impressionable minds of 5-18 year olds there.

The job of a College President is to define a College's Mission and Make it High Profile.

Well, let's look at the college mission.

"One of the Top REGIONAL schools in the South."

Yet it isn't. It's defined as a commuter school. That means people aren't coming to ETSU from Nashville or Chattanooga, but rather from Johnson City and Kingsport where they don't need a dorm.

And the athletic department- well, that goes without saying.

Now- on to the other parts-

A- Faculty Love Him- I'll buy the medical department, but he's so pushed the medical department ahead of all the other departments that's very debatable.

B- The media loves him- The media is afraid of him. It just takes one guy with guts- whose management won't sabatoge him.

An editor, an operations manager, or a news director with guts can change that all around.

C- Board of Regents Love Him- I'll buy that. If the TBR is going to play favorites it's going to be to UT-K.

However, here's the deal. I'm told Stanton will be gone in a couple of years. Retirement, term limits, whatever. I don't understand it fully but it goes without saying he won't be there forever.

IN THE INTERIM it is important to give them as much criticism as possible. They've been given kid gloves to date- to the point when football was dropped the public perception was "Oh, it will come back!"

That needs to stop.

It's called equal time.
