" They deserve everything we can do to pick them up and carry them until things get turned around"

THEY deserve...THEY deserve? What about what the Fairfield supporter deserves?

THEY are getting $150,000 scholarships. The coaches are getting paid well and earn a living. What about providing a competetive product so that the fans get what they are paying for? What about providing a winning program for fans and alumni to get excited about?
Fairfield has a horrible overall Div I record and have been even worse in the MAAC. How long do you think we can support this kind of performance?
WHEN (if ever) WILL EXPECTATIONS RISE ENOUGH TO FORCE THIS UNIVERSITY TO MAKE A SERIOUS ATTEMPT TO PUT A GOOD SPORTS PRODUCT OUT THERE?

I am not talking about this team specifically - I am talking the history of Fairfield basketball.
It is early in the season, but most of us have seen enough. In fact, most of us knew before the season began that this team could not win because it didn't have a frontcourt. Some of us were distracted to some extent by the report of standout freshman players - which, it appears, were false. Yes, Han looks like he has potential.... just what we need, another 6' guard.
I am tired of people blaming the fans for losing basketball teams and poor attendance.
Lets assign to blame where it belongs---- to a lack of will at Fairfield University.
