Once you resort to hey I got PMs to prove my popular stance - you are now merging Facebook “likes” into message board banter. You all are missing the obvious point Coach is making . He and his family sit in a section that have very loyal fans . Likely the past 10 years a group of at least 40 folks sit together . We’ve watched newborns grow up to young teenagers , even unfortunately miss a friend that left this earth . The fact of the matter is wether we work for the university , attended the university or just flat out associate with ODU - this is a time of year we all enjoy seeing each other while thoroughly enjoying the game of basketball. Add in the fact that the team at this moment is playing with heart and also in response to the direction of coach JJ whats not to admire ? Assumed authority in knowledge of basketball without a wallet that speaks or supports your criticism to make a true difference essentially is meaningless .

What angers me is the degree in which you guys have been manipulated by leadership into this groupthink. It does make sense why you enjoy these games and if you and your 40 friends were all that were left at them, you'd be fine with it. You don't have to trash the entire program to make your point. I don't think you are consciously trashing it, but I think you are so loyal go JJ and Wood Selig that it is what you have to do to defend them. You can admit that the AD and MBB program are moving in the wrong direction and at the same time enjoy meeting your 40 friends at the games. And loyalty to ODU and ODU athletics dosen't mean loyalty to that little weasel that has lied to you and stabbed you in the back countless times and is running the department like a Ponzi Scheme. The institution is much bigger than the individual.
