Latest Wessler Article

Since the JS is running a poll to vote whether Coach Les should be fired or kept shouldn't, in all fairness, there be a poll as to whether to fire Wessler or to keep him? How many times do you think KW has voted in the Les poll? His fingers are probably blistered from pounding on the yes key!

I really want to stay out of that...

But if they don't have educated guesses in the least on that...

Its concerning to me....

And I'm fairly certain they are much less concerned about that than you are...


But wait, wasn't it some of you that said you're not a real fan if you take your ball and go home because of a decision being made...


Well doesn't that make the donors who pull money not real fans?

The score is tied 1-1 and we're into Sudden Death...

There has to be a winner and there most certainly will be a loser...


While I may want a change, I will still be a BU fan next year...


Not sure I can say the same for the rest of the population!

The actual butts in seats numbered 7,871, an eye-popping 26 percent no-show rate that was more the norm than the exception. I thought this was unreleased info? Did he make it up?

I don't think he made that number up because I was told by someone with access to that information that the drop count for the ISU games was 7,800 and change.

7,871 is a bad showing for the ISU game, but here's something that's even scarier... Our largest crowd before the ISU game was roughly 6,100 and we had a game with less than 4,000 in the seats. :-o

I would say this is true, barring personal relationships with the coach. I could see if someone was a friend of the coach, siding with him. I cite Chuck Buescher as an example. No one would not call him a BU fan, yet he chose to leave his role with the university for family loyalty, and I commend him. If Jim Les' great aunt, or best friend for that matter, is a major contributor, who would blame her pulling their support?

I hate the thought that high rollers would try to exert their influence, and I hate the thought that people would listen to them. If you are giving money to help your school, fantastic. If you are giving money so you can have a say, keep your money, IMO.

More anonymous sources....:roll:

We've never had butts-in-seats numbers before, so we are comparing your covertly acquired top-secret access numbers to tickets sold attendance figures of the past, and gawking at the difference. Not valid. Give me butts in seats vs. butts in seats, and I'll listen.

I don't know that they are that hard to find out. I heard some similar figures yesterday from someone...

So now you are suggesting the president is not being truthful?

No, not at all. I did not mean that either. What I am saying though, is it is a private matter and I would think the University would only announce anything they decide after the season is officially over.
 
I am convinced no decision has been made, based on an email I received from the president yesterday that says that a decision would be made "once the season is over".

Yes, absolutely. I agree with this statement! I would expect nothing less from the BU President.
 
I think DC has to be right about this one. Doubtful a decision has been made at this point though, certainly, the administration is likely leaning one way or the other. We'll find out soon enough.
 
Oh I am certain a decision has been made...


Whether Les has been informed about it or not is a whole other story..


But why should she tell you, me, or anyone else even if she had made a decision?!


Like her or not, being the President of the University allows her the ability to not have to tell us jack squat til she's good and ready...


There could be many reasons why things have not made it publicly, but my first guess would be that they are waiting til Tuesday to have a press conference after they inform the staff in a Monday sit down...

Believe the numbers, don't believe the numbers. It's entirely up to you.

And I think people were only comparing the numbers for this season, tickets sold versus tickets used. A large discrepancy between the two is something to be concerned about. It indicates apathy. Apathy kills programs.
