Lady Duuuuuuuuuuuukes!

We've now won 8 in a row. Imagine how we'd be ranked if we didn't lose the CAA opener against W&M, who by the way was blown out again tonight.

Agreed, that step back! Only thing better was her next trip down the floor with that screen and she hits the three to put the nail in the coffin.

Jaz and the ladies crushed tonight!

OK rant time. Tonight's broadcast by Stretch was probably the worst I have ever tried to watch. Can't say watched because most of the time it did not move.
CAA has to be aware of the problems with Stretch but they do not seem to be able to do anything about it. I looked on the CAA web site to see if I could find a contact
point to rant to but I was unable. I emailed Curt Dudley and asked him. I realy hated to e mail Curt but tonight I was on the verge of pulling my hair out. I just want to
watch the Dukes in real time. Is that too much to ask?

Ok rant over. Back to our regularly scheduled post game celebration.

Great win by the Ladies and great performances by Jaz, Muff and the rest of the team.. Nice to see Destiny getting some minutes tonight.

Northeastern on Sunday and then Drexel in Philly next Friday. Hofstra game at the Convo a week from Sunday will be big!!! Need to pack the Convo!!

Go Dukes!!

I hit your level of frustration a year ago. It sent me over the edge. It was most frustrating that Stretch wanted to email me back and forth while a game was going on. Then they had no way of seeing what they had just asked me to do. I was having to copy and paste their previous request and then tell them what change I was seeing. I simply lost it with this lack of customer service. Then, Mike Carpenter defended their service.

I've said to hell with any attempt to help JMU or Stretch in making this a better product. Stretch says they have very few complaints. Well, the reason is that there is no way to reach them. They have built a wall around their company and care not to hear complaints. I continue to believe that if someone would simply take ownership of the product/service, both from within Stretch and the customers this could be resolved. Because JMU is getting the product on the cheap, they think it to be a good deal no matter how frustrated the end user may become.

W&M lost their best player with a year ending injury a couple weeks ago and hasn't put up any type of fight since then. JMU loses Precious before the season, and Perez a couple weeks ago, and we keep getting better. Just goes to show you the depth that we have and nobody else in the CAA can even dream of having.

Says a lot about just how good our coach is too. Credit to Kenny and the entire team for being able to make adjustments after losing players. That's not an easy thing to do, and the team is doing a very good job at it thus far.

I thought we would be middle of the pack in the league after one of the earlier games. Kenny is the man. And props to the players. Impressed.

I have had some success with pulling out and replugging the modem plug before the broadcast. It may have been coincidence but the broadcast did not freeze up.

I emailed Curt Dudley last night just to vent. Felt bad about doing it but I was just so frustrated and did not know where else to turn. Mr. Dudley was very nice, got back to me very quickly and said he would pass on my rant to JMU and the CAA. He also gave me a point of contact at the CAA so I will resend my "observations" to them and see what happens.

Not expecting anything as I am sure Stretch has a nice contract with the CAA so why should they do anything. Just hope when the contract is up the CAA says See ya Later and finds someone else. This is having a major impact on their viewing audience and I hope they are cognizant of that. Also hope they take the guy who recommended Stretch and string him up by his thumbs for pushing such a c*** products. We as fans deserve much better. Hi def video is of no use if you can not watch it.

I feel your pain. By the way, I know it's bad when the most positive poster on the board has reached his breaking point.
