Armada, thats a fine looking dog on your avatar!!!!
I had to switch my avitar back to show you what a really good looking dog looks like.
I am just going to get on here and ask for everyones support at our games this spring... we have two spring games at home (of which i don't exactly know the times and dates right now.. lol). I WILL POST THE TIMES AND DATES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I can speak for myself when I say that i would love for Coach Rich to be the head coach, and I think that how the team performs this spring can help him... We need all the support we can get. If we can prove that we can win under his lesadership it will help his chances. I can assure you that he is more than qualified for the job... So please come out to our games support us!!!! We need it now more than ever!
I can't imagine what you interpreted as bashing Jen Burns unless you think praising Rich somehow minimizes her contribution. I think all the comments above about Rich were in light of the possibility of his promotion to head coach, not to say Burns did nothing. She did a great job of starting the soccer program from nothing and I have never heard anyone say a bad word about her, including in this thread.
I may be guilty of bashing Oakes....okay, I did do that....but I never said anything bad about the soccer coaches. Unless someone took my comment about "hiring someone already at Tech" as dissing the current assistant. Trust me, that was not my intention. It was just meant as another shot across JO's bow. I meant no disrespect toward Coach Burns or Coach Stoneman.
Well for some reason everytime I go to take a picture of Annabelle she has a sleepy look LOL....
BD- what breed is that? He is a good looking dog also, like the coloring and markings.
I agree though I don't think anyone including myself was bashing Jen, she did what she could to get things going and that is appreciated. She was learning on the job and that is difficult. Everyone knows that any coach dealing with Oakes, as an AD, is handicapped before they ever begin.
OK here are the dates and times as promised:
March 24th vs Grambling
April 12th vs Centenary
Both games are going to be in Joe Alliet Stadium and the times are still being determined. I will post times as soon as I know
i've heard that someone donated some money to the soccer program and JO then took that amount of her budget for the year...
Since you obviously coach, I am sure you have spoken to a number of coachs in the sport of soccer. I am personal friends not only with the adminstration but also out of the major sports at LTU I am personal friends with the coach's and or their spouse. I have worked with the soccer program since it began at LTU and I know how hard it has been! When I get to my office I will be happy to name the coach's and school's that have made only positive comments in regards to Jen. My children have attended her soccer camp at LTU in the summer and it was a great camp.
Looking back on this site it seems you have all of the information on everyone that works in LTU sports. I can only attest to the coach's that I am close to and I can tell you that the morale is not good which can't be good for the program or the players.
