Topic:  Now what are the lasting thoughts of this year's team? Author Message Kevin Finnegan General User Member Since: 2/4/2005 Location: Rockton, IL Post Count: 1,164 Status: Offline     Now what are the lasting thoughts of this year's team?    Posted: 4/4/2014 11:52:16 AM  It seemed at the end of the season that everybody fell in love with this team, this 'pack'. They fought hard and were never out of it. Now, things don't appear to be as they seem. Maybe this wasn't a close-knit group. Christian has bailed. It sounds like Jon Smith left the team because of Christian. Setty calls a change at the top a 'blessing in disguise'. Mo becomes a footnote in the minds of Bobcat fans. Owens is gone as a recruit. I'm not sure what my feelings are about the season, but they're definitely souring by the minute.

With every new tidbit of info that comes in, my assessment of JC sours more and more.  Kind of like the opinion I had of him when he was "the enemy" at Kent.  What the heck is/was going on?  Two straight years at the end of the season we hear about this kind of unrest in the locker room.  You've gotta wonder if the coach(es) is or was the problem.

It also makes me think of why Aaron Fuss was so important to this team. Could you imagine if he wasn't at Ohio last year or this year? The locker room would have totally imploded. Having a guy like that who's been there with them since the beginning is huge.

I am ONLY looking forward and want a new coach named quickly.  Then I want him to sit down with players and recruits and try to salvage what is now a very bad situation. Looks like whoever the new guy is will have about 10 spots to fill the way things are going...time to stop the bleeding!

We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I thought what I thought of this year's team.  I admired it's togetherness, tenacity and achievement despite injuries and what appeared to me (at the start of the year)  to be questions about the quality of the talent. That's worlds different about what I may now think about JC in light of events that happened after the end of the season. Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!
