Subject: There's NO Joy, No Future, What's The Point ??? Author: FORMERLY NUSuperfan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Tuesday, December 02, 02:26:55pm Author Host/IP: syn-107-145-011-181.res.spectrum.com/107.145.11.181 Even though I basically left the forum, I still tune in from time to time because of my fondness for the core posters here. 1. There's no joy. Self-explanatory. 2. There's no future ? This is the best from now on, with no more Niagara Wall of Fame members to be added. Who stays more than one or two years. Who will be the future stars ? Again, self explanatory. 3. What's the point ? There's none ! We now lose to the likes of LeMoyne and Howard ? The woman lose by 98 points !!!!! Niagara ia an embarrassment to its own legacy. It will only get worse AND its not even GP's fault. High school recruitment is awful today due to the NIL and portal for the low and mid-majors. The portal leaves schools like Niagara with D-2, D-3, NAIA and low level JUCO kids. At this point, just save the revenue and dispose of whatever athletic programs are causing debit problems for the University. The schools we use to beat with ease in the past can now kick our ass.

There isn't a "future". The future is NOW and it's already happened.

Author: Purp 1 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, December 02, 05:38:44pm Author Host/IP: syn-074-070-140-050.res.spectrum.com/74.70.140.50 Unless I can be corrected and I am always open to it, I would like to ask both Fr Maher and Simon Gray why they have been so content with mediocrity....but we have been past merely being "mediocre" for years. I suspect Simon candidly and privately would tell you he just wants to get to his retirement, get his kids educated and get the hell out of here.

I think he's 48-50. I do love his bio "Anne, the 1997 Southern Conference Women’s Golf Freshman of the Year, graduated from East Tennessee State with the lowest scoring average in program history," https://purpleeagles.com/staff-directory/simon-gray/127 He's #2 is Susan, former AD at Medaille https://purpleeagles.com/staff-directory/susan-petronsky/146 https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/local/phase-two-begins-at-medaille-sports-complex/71-13e0b99c-bcf9-4c8c-8f92-6afda1b5fa8b

I'm still holding out hope, faint as it might be, that the men's team will be somewhat competitive in the MAAC and scale the heights of a .500 conference record...not likely to happen but it's all I've got beyond walking away.

It's like the eight track tape. Today they don't know what your talking about. That will be Calvin, Manny and whoever is left. Who?
