50-miler? That's longer than I normally do. My longest ride in the past several years has been 32 miles. I did do two 20-milers in the same day once, but one was in the morning and the second one late in the afternoon. And, I took a nap in between.
BTW, I ride a single-speed La Jolla Cruiser. Yep. That's it. It's all in the legs.
Keep 'em spinning, Lance!
You're a better man than I am. To ride that cruiser at your speed is IMPRESSIVE and I couldn't do it. Congratulations. My ride is a carbon lightweight with 120 lb pressure skinny tires and a triple chainring. Mine's mostly in the bike50-miler? That's longer than I normally do.

LOVE THOSE LADY TECHSTERS!!
I am sure when the proper administration makes that decision they will hold that evaluation. Until then it isn't our place to do that, we are fans not administration
Puh-leeeese!! Our job is just to follow, not question?!! If you've "invested" through LTAC or in other ways, you're a shareholder. The lifeblood of a university is its contributors and if the admin disagrees with the contributors it better be able to clearly set forth the reasons for disagreement. Demand nothing and that's what you often get.
I see nothing wrong with contributing fans voicing their opinions. Educated opinions are best, though. If you don't follow a specific sport, it is tough to have a valid opinion. I never voice my opinion on baseball, but do follow the conversation about that coach. Anyway, you (of all people) have the right to voice your opinion - after all, you are an avid WBB fan. We have the right to disagree, though. :icon_wink:
Of course you do, but that was not what pg was saying. He said its not our place to make an evaluation, that's the job of the administration. Baloney! It's the admin's job to hire and fire, but we can parse and evaluate every word and action if we choose - and as engaged shareholders we should and do!
You are correct and no one has ever stopped us from doing so before (pro and con).
Let me make it very clear as to what I was saying so that no one is unclear or mistaken. I don't want anything I say to be taken out of context.
We all have thoughts and opinions, some choose to voice them louder than others because they like hearing themselves talk. I am one of those at times so I can own that. I also know that what we want or don't want has no process in the decision making process of what happens at Louisiana Tech no more than us having a say over moving to the CUSA because we didn't like the WAC.
We are fans and while we love to have opinions and hear ourselves talk at the end of the day it is what the administration decides that matters, this is not a reality show where we have a say in it.
Can we make suggestions and have opinions absolutely and we do that all the time. Does the powers to be care about what we have to say, apparently not or we would have won two more national championships by now in Women's basketball.

Hey Phil, always love to read your post!
At least I know you have an bit amount of merit to the words you state my man!
Keep them coming!
I am a LaTech fan and realist. We have a lot of work to do in a lot of programs...WBB leading the way.
Thanks man, appreciate it, I just know we have to work with who they put in the positions they put people in. I don't think at any time while Budke or Long were the head coaches that I ever spoke against them or questioned their abilities.
I always supported them and championed their cause. I am sure that if you look hard enough your can find fault in anything or anyone. I don't see that as being productive not being supportive of the program as a whole but again that is just me.
I always tell people if you can find fault in more than one situation then you may be the common denominator to that issue.
I have had employees that when something went wrong it was always someone elses fault and never their own, the world had wronged them and I just told them " Look you have an issue with all of these people and all that these people have in common is YOU. So you are the common denominator to your issue."
Some people didn't like Budke, then some of those people didn't like Long and some of those same people are negative at times against Spoon. I am not pointing fingers but sounds like the common denominator to that situation is the person that doesn't like them.
Now there are actually two denominators to this, there is the person that finds fault with all three of them and then there is the administration because they hired all three but then again we know how good their judgement is after what they allowed to happen with KM.
I am gonna be supportive of Spoon and work my butt off suggesting players to the coaching staff of players I see here in the state of Florida.
Good post!
