Irony, defined

[dylanrocks]

Since it's so quiet on both boards and with the season now less than three months away, I thought this might be an opportune time to ask a question that Fran posed on the other board:

Just what are your expectations for the coming season?

Last year, Milwaukee won just eight games in the regular season, a dropoff of 11 wins from the previous year.

In light of that, I wanted to share with you this statement from an optimistic poster on the Eunuch board in the moments after Rob was fired: "If the new coach doesn't win big -- and I mean right, right away -- Braun should join him on the unemployment line."

Instead, with no promise of anything more than a middling season and with just two team sports titles to her credit in the last three years, our AD just signed a lucrative two-year contract extension.

I would be interested to get your thoughts about this development and the state of the program in general.
