After seeing Lonergan having about the same record as Hewitt in 4 years, I began to have the "creep" of "they're just going to keep him one more year."
So I am right there with you now that no one at Mason really cares and we are doomed.
Fortunately, I have a great life outside of Mason Hoops. Great job, great girl, great family and friends.
But Mason being in the situation its in and having no faith in BE to be able to do anything about it will always make a small part of my soul very empty.
I never felt like this in my 20 years as a Mason Fan. I don't need us to be Duke or Kentucky, I just want a competitive team that has a game plan suited for every game we play. I just want administrators who are competent and have a coherent plan for our future.
I love Mason. That school has allowed me to grow and have pride in the community I live. As Northern Virginians, we really don't have our own identity. We are lumped in with the entire DC area. I always felt as if Mason gave me as a Northern Virginian something to rally around and identify with uniquely.
Mason has the potential to be the jewel of Northern Virginia. All the talented IT, Intel, Scientists I recruit and hire everyday have degrees form Mason but never claim Mason as their school. No matter how well we do academically, Alumni will never feel that comradery they do when rooting for a successful bball or football program.
