I'm calling it a night.
I hope you appreciate that I am really trying to keep this board from turning into a cesspool of negativity during what has been a mostly successful season to this point. It's always a challenge during nights like Thursday and tonight. And it's tough to strike a balance between rationalism and emotionalism. This loss tonight hurts me as much as it does you guys.
Just keep in mind that the players and coaches are hurting, too.
I REALLY don't want this place to turn into the old board. That was a board often worthy of a bad program and I want to turn the page on that downer mentality.
This doesn't mean I'm demanding puppy dogs and ice cream. Keep your criticisms and worries coming, but I will play devil's advocate to keep things as positive as I can. That's the role of a board administrator, not to give into the direction of the wind on a given day, to try to see the big picture and balance perspectives out a bit.
I really am looking forward to the coming seasons and things getting back to normal so we can all enjoy games at the Galen from time to time and really jump start the community we have started to build.
Thanks again for all your contributions.
