Mathboy - this was a topic of discussion among my co-workers yesterday morning and the general consensus was what I wrote above. I decided to post on this forum hoping I would receive some objective comments (as compared to the other forum where it seems most posters are not as objective). I appreciate Kyle's comments on my post but I do not appreciate your response and in my opinion, attempt to bully me as a first time poster.
BTW, I have been a women's basketball season ticket holder for 25+ years and have watched seven coaches on the sideline. All have their strengths and weaknesses. I don't enjoy watching a program that took so long to reach national prominence fall into mediocrity.
Fair enough Clipper. In the recent past, we have seen a number of "new posters" open their posting career here with something fairly critical. It always makes me suspicious of people whose first post is negative. With a little push, it is sometimes easy to unmask a troll. I like your response. Thanks for taking the time to push back the right way.
You are certainly welcome to express your opinion here. Please understand that criticism is welcome, and disenting opinions are fairly common. I also post on the other board, and I have been vocal in my defense of the most dark of the critics, Michael. You will find that name calling and threats are uncommon here, but do expect people that will disagree with your postings. DOn't take it personally.
As for the program, none of us do not like that it is not one of the national power programs. It is still one of the better programs, year in and year out, in the BIG. It just needs to make that break back into national prominance that it once had, before the merry-go-round of coaches. The debate is how to get back there.
The fact that ESPN recognised Versyp as BIG COY is pretty cool, and can help us in recruiting. I have no issue with her being proud of that accomplishment. She is part of the Purdue family and should articulate the good things about the program whenever she gets the chance. I don't think it self-serving in the least.
