SOMEBODY STOP THE MADNESS!!!

Here's what I posted at the end of last season. i haven't posted on men's basketball all year. I rooted for BG even though i expected exactly what we got. I actually thought they could and hoped they would make a run after what the Evil Genius said in his postgame the other night. But alas another .500 season in sub-par conference.

Congrats to the BG Women. What a fantastic year once again. Coach Miller and his staff and players are just phenomenal.

What I don't understand is why can't we ask for that for our Men's Team. It seems like 50% of this sight is okay with our results this year and with the direction Coach Orr is taking with this team. I read comments like this was a 'good year', a year that provided 'a lot of satisfaction as a fan'...I am paraphrasing. The fourth year of program should be the culmination of success and I personally don't like to hear, just wait til next year, the team is young, we got some studs, yada, yada, yada.

I'm excited where our football program is with Coach Clawson, he has two more years in my book to have a team that's in the heat of MAC Championship contention. I don't think giving four years to any program to succeed or else, is too short amount of time.

I am open to listening to answers to this question, and I welcome the debate:
Why can't we expect our men to be as successful as our women?

-or even-

Obviously our Women's program is special, so answer me this question. Why does it seem like asking for our Men's program to be half as successful as our women's program is too big an ask?

I'm from Detroit. I've lived through the acceptance of mediocrity of Lions Football and THEN Matt Millen running the team further into the depths of hell for eight years. I didn't want him around after 3, I'm sorry if I'm not patient or come across as a negative pain in the tuchas, but I just want our team to be in the 'F'in' tournament and I just want it sooner than later.

I truly appreciate the opportunity to vent - I love and respect this site. I love BG and our athletic program even more, and especially BG Men's Hoops. I just want to see something worth being excited about, and right now, I feel like I've felt most of the last decade...very disappointed.

"March Misery".....it's how BG does men's hoops this time of year.

And how stupid is the MAC media for voting Murphy from Eastern Michigan as Coach of the Year.
