Hmm? You gotta explain this one. We have had quite a bit of good news this week.

You may interpret that as good news, but that is only because through the slow roll and successful erosion of expectations throughout a long period of time, Woody has managed to move the Overton Window to the point that the disaster has become interpreted as successful. If the same story had been released 5 years ago or 3 years ago, you and everyone else would have been livid. It is really quite an interesting case study. He got us to the point that we would have been happy with anything. Quite a long way from 30,000 chairback seated waterfront stadium with boatgating.

First, OP is perfectly capable of backing up their hyperbolic post.

Second, the change in stadium design is perfectly warranted based on the insane costs of the Powhatan site and our current funding restrictions.

And even if the stadium news isn't good in your book, that's just 1 week of news. We have had plenty of good news over the last 3 years. Record number of donations in each of the last 2 years. Baseball stadium renovations. Practice facility opening. We just won a CUSA championship last week. New volleyball program starting. We got a women's bball coach who appears to have the program headed in the right direction. That's just a few things that have been positive related to ODU. But go ahead and try to back him up on nothing good happening in the last 2 to 3 years.

I was only addressing last week's news. 9-3 football season was good news (followed by bad news with bowl game and the matchup). The NIT run was good news. The rest that you mention was good news for many, but out of my realm of interest, which is pretty much mens basketball and football results.
