Subject: Re: Get a life Author: Nick Butler [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:59:57 11/01/09 Sun In reply to: Ex Lion Fan 's message, "Get a life" on 11:23:22 11/01/09 Sun Unless he calls his players "drug-addicted losers," Wilson deserves, and will get, one more year. If they gave Bob Naso five years, they'll give Wilson five -- for a variety of reasons, not all football-related. The main one is that he deserves a chance to show what his recruits can do as seniors. Garrett, McElreavy, and Shoop were shown the gate early for reasons that went beyond simply losing. What worries me is what level of performance the administration will consider acceptable for this year and next to extend his contract. I still think we're looking at 2-5, 3-7 this year. Suppose he goes 3-4, 5-5 next year. Would that be considered acceptable progress? It shouldn't, but I think it will be. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Obviously I was upset with the game - guess I think too much about the program. I have the deepest respect for the decent guys who play on the team, coaches, and our supporters. I had a wisdom tooth extracted Friday - does that explain it? As well, it never makes me happy when we lose - but overall I say, best of luck to the Lions the rest of the way. But honestly, can we get a winning season some day?

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Ex Lion Fan says sorry Author: Roar [Edit] Date Posted: 21:29:21 11/03/09 Tue Way to repent, Ex Lion Fan, and your frustration is well undertood -- the Yale game was certainly one of our top heartbreakers of all time. As for a winning season, we had one only 13 years ago (8-2 in '96), and more will be coming, so don't despair. When I was there we even won the Ivy League title, so I know it can be done.
