tr- i think that it is safe to say that everyone on this board was from the beginning of TOT's reign pulling and hoping to rebuild the b-ball program from the ashes that it seemed to be in for many years outside of a few glimmers of hope over the last 15 years....I think we all thought that within 3-5 years we'd have at least the 2nd best program in CT....you have to understand though that when things continued to be sub-par many fans became frustrated and wanted to blame someone....last year was a let-down...we all expeccted more from the team...probably too much....the idea of playing in the new arena would somehow transform the team into superstars...we all wanted to believe it...there were a lot of mental on-court errors which made you think.."who is running this ship?"...TOT was trying everything ...including the 5 men hockey rotation...I mean that flies in the face of the way 99.9% of all d-1 coaches coach....you had to think twice if you follow any kind of b-ball...with that said...the team this year has shown they can win the close one...everyone was so quick to say that losing these games last year was the coaches fault and now that they are winning those games they are giving credit to TOT and his staff....rightfully so....everyone that is close to TOT or anyone that has ever met him...even in passing is pulling for him...i mean, he is an alum...also...remember that most of the people that post on this board are the best fans FU has...the most loyal, the most dedicated, the most willing to sit and watch a game with no heat on in the new arena (Yale game)....anyway...I hope you get my point here...there's no doubt you are a fan and will be for years....so is everyone else on this board....understand though that people do get frustrated and better they take it out here than yelling stupid remarks during a game....your glass is always half full...good for you for remaining positive....i actually believe that we can win the MAAC tourney every year...even when we really have had some bad teams....everyone is entitled to their own opinion but it's unfair to say everyone is a whiner on this board....okay ...I've said enough....Go Stags...beat manhattan!...by the way...I would re-new his contract

You're right, Liz. TOT walks on water and we should all be sent to hell for not knowing he's the messiah. You want the truth, Ruth? You have no clue.
