Twenty win season not too shabby. Time to move on to football.

This board has always been super tame compared to other boards, though. It continues to amaze me at how much power some people think the Green and White Club had. We were a social organization that provided a great tailgate experience for minimal cost, hosted and paid for the annual senior recognition banquet, endowed a scholarship for deserving athletic department volunteers, and with the help of various sports teams put over a half a million dollars into the budgets of olympic sports teams. Nobody ever called us to see if a coach should be hired or fired or what we wanted the logo to be.

Not only did we lose Campbell and not only did Carter (and Dartis) take on a Herculean load but this team was also down Gollon, Wadley, and Khari. Add in lingering (small) injuries to KK and Taylor. Seems very reasonable to me to skip anything that isn't the NCAAs or NIT this year. What a day at the Convo.....Wow!
