With all due respect, Chaves needs to go. I am so sick of hearing all the important committees he serves on and how much the suits love him. Our programs have never been in this bad of shape across the board in all my years following them. The only coach that should be safe is Eric Schmidt. All the others should have to earn contract extensions instead of having them handed out like candy on Halloween. The disastrous Bubba extension in March 2024 cannot happen again. We have to choose what we want to become going forward. Do we want to continue down the road of mediocrity, underachievement and being overshadowed by the other Dakota schools? Do we want our hockey program to decend into mid-major status and give up our well-earned status as a blue blood in Division I hockey? Or do we want to set our sights upward? Basketball programs that regularly compete for Summit League tournament titles. Ditto for volleyball. Football regularly competing for MVFC and FCS titles. Hockey regularly competing for NCAA titles and taking a back seat to no one. I know which one I would choose. But the current high school-esqe regime in charge of the athletic department will never get us there. #replacechaves

I do not think Duluth will be bad for much longer.

There are only 6 points available each weekend. But at this point, I think it is too little, too late.

A season of underachieving against inferior opponents has consequences.

So we moved up to Division I over 15 years ago to be average? That is 100% unacceptable. And I would hope all supporters of this institution would agree with that.

Based on his decisions, I don't think Chaves looks at wins and losses at all. And that is unacceptable. I do not want to be the Rutgers of the Midwest. And that is what we are becoming.

Should our decisions be influenced by results or lack thereof? Because in Bill Chaves' athletic department, wins and losses simply do not matter. When I say that our athletic department is being run like a high school, that is what I am referring to.

The overall level of mediocrity in our athletic department is simply unacceptable. The idea that Sather is untouchable is proof of that.

Our last NCAA tournament win back in 2021. My, those were the days.

My thinking as well.

Two I think. But your point still stands.

He wasn't kidding. I wonder if he thinks the Earth is flat too?

Always loved Office Space.

Go tell parents who have lost a child to suicide that it's not a real thing, if you have the guts (which I seriously doubt). And you should definitely leave it at that, since you have no idea what you are talking about.

Maybe you think it's a joke, but it's not.

Mental health is no joke. People should get help if they need it.

Well that's encouraging (sarcasm).

Speaking of the CFB, I think that warrants additional discipline from the NCHC.

It does feel good. But let's remember it's against a team with a losing record that does stupid things like the CFB.

That Saturday game vs. WMU really sucked the enthusiasm out of me for this season.

Idk, some people here think Emery is a liability.

And he's sat down. These lineup decisions have been somewhat baffling.

It's obvious that TJ was the favorite of the coaching staff from the beginning, so I am not surprised.

Stubborn? Sounds like a couple of other coaches on campus. One has been replaced, the other should be.

Okay thanks.
