I’m glad bball season is over, those last minute collapses sucked. Since our bball loss yesterday we have crowned hockey tournament champions. A wrestling national champion and now some good news for the football team. Let’s go

Warde may be okay at managing some stuff, but as a football season ticket holder and occasional basketball and hockey game attendee, I think he is horrid at improving the fan experience. Ever send a note to Warde? You will get crickets. The rest of the athletic department will respond and even as bad as Dave Brandon was he responded. I no longer donate to the athletic department, just NIL now because of Warde.

Any AD who is involved in the fan experience should be fired. Full stop. This isn't high school. That's not his job.

And sure, the person who does that that job ultimately reports to Warde...but so does the person who is over academics, or broadcast operations, or athletic training...but Warde isn't tutoring JJ McCarthy on Business Law, nor is he filming Softball games on BTN, and he isn't the expert ankle taper just because he's the AD (and ultimately those areas are part of his department).

Also, why in the world would he respond to an email...do you realize how many emails he probably gets a day? Again, this isn't high school.

Do you write to the president and expect a response? And no, not of the United States...I mean of the University. If you wrote to Jim Harbaugh, would you expect a response? Why in the world would you think Warde Manuel is going to respond to you? He could, but that's not a reasonable expectation.

 

People have this weird idea of what ADs do...and love to complain about them not doing a job that they aren't paid to do.

…former Notre signee…committed to Michigan!

Its 2023. I’m not celebrating until he has signed on the dotted line. And even then I will have an eye on the portal. Not just Brandyn. Everyone. I do wish I didn’t need to feel this way.

“I do wish I didn’t need to feel this way.”

You don’t need to. I’m an old guy and it took me many years to learn to stop worrying in advance about things that haven’t happened yet, especially if they’re things completely beyond my control.

What a goober post. This brings no value to the board or something good happening to the player an team.

 

And you dont need to feel this way. You are the only thing making you feel this way. 

Its not a badge of honor to have your favorite team feel that way. If they do, you are doing it wrong or should find something new that brings you joy. But you are doing it to yourself my friend.
