Well I was the one who started this thread and really the intentions of the thread was to get a feel about who all was coming back on the team. I really just wanted everyone's view, and I really didn't want it to get this bad on the thread. I will keep my comments and how I feel to myself, and for the good of keeping everyone happy, I will try to keep my comments directed toward the season. I want this team to do good more than any cougar fan, and I will leave the suggestions to the ones who is up there on the hill. If it don't work then it is on them. All I want is those young men up there to give 100% to there program and the coaches to. These kids should look up to the coaches and I hope they do. Whatever the problems and issues they have, I really wish like you said Charlie22 to get together and figure out what the issue is. We should not be talking about this with two months left till the season starts. Our neighboring counties is not having this problem and all I wanted was to see those boys work hard at getting back where they was at. I really do wish that last season is the last time we get that bad for a long time. It has to take four things for it to work. 1)Players have to commit themselves to this program, and if they can't lift at a certain time, then they need to find somewhere they can. If they can't condition at the field, then use the one at West Whitesburg. 2)Coaches have to be a father figure to these kids. I don't care if they do bad, then you better take care of them and there families. Winning is the main goal, but the relationships you have with players, and there families last a lifetime. Don't tarnish it or it will bite you in the tail. 3)Administration has to give support to all athletics, but especially the ones you invested the most money in. These team can help you with revenue or they can hurt you. 4)Fans and booster have to help this team feel special. I am just a guilty as some others in here. I will stick to just cheer and root this team on. I got carried up in what was told to me, and let my emotions get the best of me. The rest of the fans that felt my frustration know what I felt, but at the same time should try to motivate the players and give them support. All in all I really do apologize to all parties who I offend, and I will try to be the best cougarama supporter and fan there is.
