Unfortunately, the lack of interest on this board is directly related to the position of JFJr and how his out front necessity to be on and make news, influences many potential fans to stay away. It's sad that few local residents support the athletic program regardless of their beliefs, as sport fans.

LU has been more prone to take 2 steps back, then 1 step forward recently, and with a grand total of 1 FBS playoff appearance, that's simply not enough to generate fan interest. As others have stated, the woman's BB program has taken a recent tumble but Coach Green is a proven winner and one can believe he will again compete on a high level as he moves more towards athletic players vs. large, less athletic slower players. This future success cannot be felt with Gill and the FB program. Does anyone feel excited and highly optimistic about the current status and future of the FB team?

I watched the JMU game as they beat, at home NDSU to advance to the FCS championship. It was only 2 years ago that many felt, including myself, that LU was on equal footing, and some felt LU exceeding JMU's on field success. Does anyone feel that now?

JFJr, you've dragged the perception and success of the program to lows with your offensive and unwise actions and missteps. This week I was called by a Flames Club staffer asking to renew my membership with a contribution. I regrettably told the call I could not financially support the program with the recent actions of JFJr. And it's a safe bet that there are many other potential fans who are lukewarm about LU, not exclusively because of on field success, more because of in school blunders by JRJr.
