Blake James being interviewed right now

[Canes21]

At the basketball game.


-One of the top academic institutions in the nation, top in state
-We're a football school, we can win in any sport
-UM is a real leader in the nation
-Sky is the limit for all sports
-Investing is a priority of his, it is how you grow a brand and program
-Developing the donor base is important, we've doubled the donor base

And like that it is over. So there you have it, "investing in athletics is a priority". You've said it, now do it.

 

[nycane]

we're a football school?

 

[Canes21]

We used to be, but those are his words. Right now we're a basketball school. Haven't finished a year ranked under Golden. Finished ranked 5th in basketball and are 17th right now.... yea.

 

[Jsily]

I been underestimating his sales technique. It's familiarity is unsettling

 

[We the Boss]

Show and prove.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

**** him, he is part of the problem

 

[tomi]

Seems like Al is just a extension of Blake

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Seems like Al is just a extension of Blake

yeap Blake will be gone next year too, another idiot who might be swinging from AG nuts too

 

[HurricaneBob]

It starts with Blake

 

[nycane]

starts with donna. if she orders the hit, he is pulling the trigger

 

[CanesAreAble]

Blake is a fundraiser. That's what he knows.

The decision to fire Golden won't be made by him.

 

[hoover437]

As an alum, so sick of the top academic crap!!! We are not Harvard, we are trying to win football championships again.

 

[Gatorhater]

Blake is a fundraiser. That's what he knows.

Fine! Go raise enough funds to fire this bum and hire a real frigging top football school HC. Oh, since the donor base is so satisfied with football team and is growing so much, grab enough for a frigging football stadium too.

 

[NVA CANE]

Blake is a fundraiser. That's what he knows.

The decision to fire Golden won't be made by him.

Yep. But doesn't he want to make his mark? If I were in his position I would put a list of coaches together make calls to gauge interest and work behind the scenes to fire golden. Why not attempt to make a name for yourself and impact the program? I just don't understand.

 

[arizonacane]

Really Blake; donor base has doubled with the POS football product your putting on the field? I would have to say this an outright lie. Reality is that the donor base has contracted by 50%.

 

[z3c The Don]

Blake is the AD version of Al Golden

 

[cubin10]

we're a football school?

NO were a football school

 

[The Franchise]

No substance. Empty sock.

 

[TreOFive]

**** him, golden and their dyke pimp....shalala

 

[alnwpi]

Maybe it has doubled but I doubt it stays doubled the way things are going
