I just asked if you spoke to him given he was readily available.
Ive emailed before but never got a response. If we need fans telling an athletic department home scheduling needs to be a priority, we are in bigger trouble than even I imagined.

So if you're from Illinois and your team didn't make a BCS bowl that means you suck?
Hardly.

I'll take that as a no.
And of course no they don't need us to tell them. As a matter of fact, he brought up the scheduling topic himself as we spoke.
Too bad you skipped the opportunity, I think you would have enjoyed meeting him.
With the 7-hour round trip , spring games are pretty much off my agenda. Im sure I would like him, Im sure he is a great guy, but my main emphasis is about the actions of scheduling. He needs to get something done soon in that department.
Dear Mr Frazier, why can't we he like Toledo?
sincerely maddawgz.

Are you sure you actually e-mailed him...instead of his secretary Ms Mickey? Because Frazier does not have a publicly released e-mail address. I once sent one to her, for Frazier, and also never got a response. I don't think its the way to go for getting your point across.
