Quote from: tiny707 on March 13, 2023, 12:33:49 PMDon Bosco (Dave Maravilla) will never send one of his guys to Valpo.
I would rather have Dylan Haper 6'4" PG from Don Bosco than Flory from Kokomo.

Quote from: NativeCheesehead on March 09, 2023, 02:45:53 PMI have a feeling there will be no "peeps," and it will be business as usual.
Absolutely unreal we have gone a week without a peep. Not even a "We'll be meeting with Coach Lottich soon to discuss the direction of the program."
Quote from: Just Sayin on March 03, 2023, 01:32:38 PMAnd you know, the attendance figures are usually just a somewhat educated guess by the sports information staff. I don't think there's any science to it.Quote from: tjjvalpo on March 03, 2023, 12:07:04 PM
I can imagine it, and it is real ugly! Our average attendance probably drops below 1000!
Average home attendance this year was 1,603 and 32.06% of seating capacity.
Quote from: Chairback on March 03, 2023, 11:44:15 AMThe phrase "just rip off the band-aid" comes to mind. Although I did vote No above.
Wonder if the 24 hour rule is in place on announcing something.
You have to think the quicker you announce something, either way, the better.
No way these discussions or plans, either way, are not waiting for the ok to hit the send button.
Quote from: VULB#62 on February 27, 2023, 05:50:21 PMI think Smith left on his own, frustrated with a lack of support that was probably promised to him when he took the job.
Was Tom Smith's contract just not renewed or was he let go prior to the end of his contract? Anyone from that era know?
Quote from: tiny707 on February 27, 2023, 03:51:56 PMBryce was a freshman in 1994-95. At the time, David Redmon was a senior and the Mid-Continent Conference lost its automatic bid because the "big boys" at the time bolted for what would become the Horizon League. Wright State, Cleveland State, UIC, Northern Illinois, Green Bay and Milwaukee led the exodus. All of them were traditionally better than Valpo at the time.
Valpofb16, when did Bryce start playing at VU? 1993?
Quote from: usc4valpo on February 24, 2023, 03:06:41 PMDon't you mean "progressing nicely?"
I am waiting to hear the spin on how great this program is progressing. I also feel bad for Padilla and Small - I would imagine they would like to improve this but wont have revenue to do this. We are currently operating as a Division 1 program in name only.
Quote from: DuneHwx on February 24, 2023, 10:32:00 AMQuestion No. 1: Do you believe this program can consistently compete for an MVC championship under the current head coach and staff?
If I were the new AD, I'd be scheduling program evaluations with the players of both programs the day after the season ends. That's the quickest way to find out whether keeping either staff for another year is at all tenable.
Quote from: Chairback on February 24, 2023, 10:22:19 AMDid anyone notice how a majority of the students who attended the first half of the Bradley game left at halftime?
6pm start games are great for middle school or JV games. Doesn't work for D1 college games. It's hard to rush from work and get to a game.
Got a chance to spend some time with a group of current students and asked them why students don't go to games. All said team performance and coaching. They were so matter a fact about it.

Quote from: wh on February 15, 2023, 01:41:25 AMYes I agree, the guys don't give up. There are just a lot of bonehead plays throughout the game that leave me shaking my head.
One more post to say something positive on my way out the door for awhile. I was in attendance at tonight's game. While we made a lot of mistakes, the gritty, never quit attitude we displayed, especially in the 2nd half, lasting right to the final gun was amazing. You made us proud, guys!! Best wishes the rest of the way!
Quote from: valpotx on February 01, 2023, 01:31:11 AMI heard this from a reliable source. I certainly couldn't make this up.
Come on, that can't be true? Every mascot has some sort of screen where it actually sits at their eye level. If they don't have the ability to see, that is another major bungle of the mascot/nickname result
Quote from: usc4valpo on January 13, 2023, 10:11:37 AMYes, it sucks to lose your job. But when you are someone who has made a substantial income the last few years ... you would think he has saved a lot. He and his family will be fine, and he will bounce back somewhere else.
64 - I get where you are coming from, and we disagree at times, but this program is a complete mess and change is ALWAYS difficult. A dismissal is never smooth or a Hallmark moment, whether it is in sport or business. We are also talking about employees in volatile positions making great income.
Quote from: valporun on January 07, 2023, 02:38:13 PMHey, Jeff Saturday will be available after tomorrow.
Anyone checked on the dead horse to see if he's tired of being beaten on here? We get it...YOU WANT LOTTICH SENT PACKING NOW!! Look at our interim options...Gore, Bowen, Townsend....MORE OF THE SAME!!! Might as well deal with Lottich until the season ends, because none of the three assistant coaches are going to be a breath of fresh air.
Quote from: AB on January 01, 2023, 09:15:55 PMThe Post Tribune stopped covering the team last year. The Times basically stopped covering the team last year, when Paul Oren left to start The Victory Bell. The Times coverage isn't going to get any better for a couple reasons - 1. The team stinks; 2. The Times laid off its long-time sports editor, it currently has a young guy who has only been around for about one year and he's probably overwhelmed just trying to get a paper out every day. Bad Beacons teams are not going to be high on the coverage list.
Fine line between being critical and being objective. You still want the coaching staff too feel open/comfortable enough to talk. This isn't a power 5 team where you have multiple media members/beat writers and radio covering the team. The team and radio travel on the plane together. Don't want to create a tense environment.
