You will never get a truthful answer.

If you want a good barometer for how positive or negative we are as a message board, please visit the Memphis board on here. We're practically a utopia in comparison.

I have a buddy on the VT 24/7 board...some of the things he would tell me that were said about Fuente this past year on there.....yikes! We are good here.

What I am upset with is your timing. Believe you me, these athletes read your posts and put yourself in their shoes. Their coaches are the main reasons these athletes are here. They spend the majority of their time with the coach and his staff. When they go to a university like ours, they rely on the coaches and more often than not love their coaches and they are busting their tail for them and for you. They want to win even more than you do. Yes, we have had a bad season and you have a right to be upset. I am as well. I am sure everyone that is associated with the team is as well, including Coach Jones. They play hard for him and theirselves and when they read this stuff, it hurts them and alienates them. I read all of the statements about Coach Rahne and that really bothered me. I know they read this stuff and that is a fact. They understand people get upset, but when the season is still going on, we need to back them as much as possible and when they hear your comments about them and their coaching staff, they look at it as an attack on their family and when they think we are against them and their team, of course people will want to leave. The decision belongs to the athletic staff, the same one that let a lot of beloved coaches go when they declined. I will always trust their decisions, because they pay them and know them way more than we do and understand if they need to make the switch. If it was left up to this page and us, no coach would last 1 or 2 games. I am sure they will research it heavily and make the right decision for the players, the school and yes, even us! Hang in there folks. This is why they make the big bucks. You have your rights to post whatever you like, but guess what, so do I. I am not mad or nor should you be. We are all brothers and sisters of the Monarch nation!
I am just reminding you of the fact, people do listen to what you say. Love you my Monarch brothers and sisters.

You’re peeing into the wind with certain posters on this board. They wanted to fire JJ during the year we won the CUSA tourney. And then they celebrated when we lost to Purdue.

I really have a hard time believing that anyone posting on here would do such.
