An awful lot of hardcore Bearcat fans have been saying this for the last five years. But, if you state that on these Mick Cronin Fan Club sites, you get attacked, called a Troll, and eventually banned. It's being proved out who was dead-on right all these years. I walked out of that arena last night embarrassed to the core. It's comforting to know that the closest thing we have to a shooter is leaving this year and we're recruiting nothing but big men. Add to that the one guy most of us thought has the type of offensive talent we've been lacking, is now transferring to Ball State and you have the sorry state of Bearcat basketball in 2013 in year #8 of the Mick Cronin era. So, with nothing on the horizon to give us any hope for year #9, we"re now looking at year # 10. Does anyone really believe year#10 will be different.
The Cronin era needs to end like the Rick Minter era did. Both were decent coaches, but incapable of taking this program to the next level. Like the title of the old TV comedy said..."Eight is Enough".
For me, the only thing that eased last night's pain was coming on this Mick Cronin Fan Club site and looking at the meltdown from his disciples. I had to chuckle.
I'll be in my seats for every game the rest of this year supporting this program like I Always have, and hoping that Whit Babcock and Santa Ono have finally had enough of mediocrity and dwindling fan support and make the right move to repair this program. After last night, the task is daunting. Thanks Mick for having a full week to prepare for X and giving us that effort. Wow!!!!!
