It doesn't really matter where we are, by the way, just that the reason we are is Rick Stansbury. And that it's bad.

Record ticket sales, record attendance, TV appearances, national media exposure, competitive performance, W's and L's and such have all been washed away by an overwhelming attempt to discredit Rick Stansbury. Personal attacks, selective memory and the alteration of the actual history of his coaching tenure can be found on this board with a simple search. His wife is hated, his kids are criticized for their proximity to the players, his staff are discounted. All of a sudden it is cool to hate Rick Stansbury.

Patronization aside, an ounce of respect might be appropriate. Now as almost to predict the future, there will be responses to me as those ill informed, hyperbole laden statements that are regularly thrown at Stansbury. And that's OK. After all this is an anonymous internet sports message board. But to preempt all of the negative responders, and to quote Carnac the Magnificent, "May a swarm of gay chiggers open a disco on your grandfather."

The end.
and the Choir said AMEN
