Message: [QUOTE="ASweet3781, post: 4040891, member: 1926"] I noticed our women's soccer team got pasted by BC 4-1 Sunday. This would have been unheard of 15 years ago. With all these big fancy athletic facilities on campus now this slog backwards needs to stop. We are living off basketball and field hockey the last 10 years with little help elsewhere. We hired Auriemma and Calhoun in a span of year. Ask yourself, what truly great coaching hires are we making the last 20 years across the department? Umass won an men's hockey title this past year. BC won a women's lacrosse. Northeastern played for the women's hockey championship. We will soon have better facilities. Why not aim for higher in these sports and fix the men's and women's soccer deep slide? If we are going to raise the white flag and field an incomprehensibly bad football team for going on a decade, you better make sure historically strong programs that made us one of the top 20 athletic programs in the country didn't go in the sh *tter. Or build new top programs across the department. We are doing neither. [/QUOTE]
