Worst Team in the Big East

[SHUHitman]

McBride was the halftime guest on the radio broadcast of the Creighton game.

I'm sure the audio is archived on Shupirates.com.

I'd agree I'd like to hear more from him but I fear the reason we don't is because he has nothing to tell us. The product is a tough sell right now and his job is akin to selling ice to eskimos.

Thanks, will check that out.

I'm inclined to agree, but again, silence is worse than bad news. If people don't see you or hear you, they presume you aren't doing anything. It's an unfair take, but I believe that to often be true in this space.

Tell people what trees you are barking up and let them know they didn't succeed. In no other world can you continually ask for more and leave the investors completely in the dark. This is a new world. We aren't "donating" money anymore. These are investments in the program, with the payoff being wins and championships. If I give money, the team fails, and you don't tell me a damn thing along the way...why would I invest with you again?

Unfortunately, It's all about bringing in money. You can replace all three of them, but at the end of the day their replacements will also fail unless big donors step up.

Felt, McBride, and Lyons have had 4 years to get the big donors to step up. If they haven’t been able to do it, then what is the harm in giving someone else a chance?

Not defending them but they did get the big donors to give for the practice facility which at the time (3 years ago) was the #1 priority. The timing of all this could not have been worse.

I feel like the season ticket renewal request will hit our inboxes any day now. I just hope I’m not drinking anything when it hits so that I don’t have to buy clean up a mess.

You are right. The delusional ticket staff will send it out, likely with an increase and then tell us how if we commit and pay early we can get a SHU beenie!
How about this: I give you nothing. You hold my seats until I see what our team is. Then and only then will I pony up the money.
