Historically Competitive
We can post stats and opinions (and even photoshops :thumbsup all day long with the intent of contributing to the Buzz-Out cause, but ultimately, information has to be in the hands of the right people for it to have any effect on the direction of our team and program.
While my passion, enthusiasm, and excitement for all things WFU have been life-long and unwavering, I fully recognize (and respect) that because of my age & place in life, my opinion likely means infinitesimally less to the powers-that-be of MSD in comparison to the thoughts of many that post and browse on this site. Despite that, I want to do what I can to help this effort. I want this thread to accomplish something real.
For those of you who have a louder (proverbially, of course :squint voice than myself, please share your correspondences with the Athletic Department (and/or the University) in regards to [Redacted] & the direction of the program on this thread. Whether you've written a letter, sent an email, or made the effort to speak in person to a 'decision-maker' at WFU (or have even thought about doing any of those things).... I would like to see this group make an effort to present a strong and united front to ensure that our collective voices are not being drowned out & discounted by the decision-makers as angry ramblings of those on the 'fringe' that are inherent with melt-downs after a loss for every sports team with passionate fans on the planet.
What I hope to create w/ this thread is an easy-to-use resource for those of us who have not taken the opportunity to make their voices heard. I want the posts here to provide something more proactive & in-depth than a simple petition ever could.
Your contributions to this thread should not be copy-righted. If you're reading this thread and another person's letter expresses your own beliefs that you haven't taken the time to voice or to put into words, or even if the measures they've taken just make fantastic sense to you... you should feel encouraged to use them (and modify them) as your own... just make sure you do your part to turn up the volume for the group & make our stance increasingly clear to the people who can actually right the ship.
I look forward to reading the posts on this thread & I appreciate all participation in the conversation. If there is anything I can provide (cleaned up data/stats/quotes you've seen me post, etc) to make your job in compiling your arguments better... I will gladly do what I can.
I am going to put the most obvious choices for where to direct your thoughts here (and update the list as more recommendations are made):
