Ubi Est Blake James?

Many fans are asking fans like me to stop contributing to the school to show how we fans feel. I still don't know if I can do that or not. I'm really on the fence about it.

Ugh. Please stop supporting this disaster.

This is what they're counting on when you threaten to stop giving them money....that you won't follow through with it.

I heard if you stop donating, even for one second, the university will no longer accept money from you in the future.

I got a phone call today front someone in Blake James' offices when I left an email on Sunday saying I will not be renewing my 5 club level seats.

They left a voicemail and phone number.

Make sure you call them back and voice your displeasure again.
 
This Fake James has the genitalia of a Ken doll.

He keeps his white sheet bright and crisp though.

what many infantile minds here cannot grasp is that by maintaining one's contributions/season tickets, (a) it shows loyalty beyond immediate issues and losses and (b) credibility when addressing the administration. if you are a "stakeholder" with no skin in the game other than your sworn allegiance to the program by way of a message board, you have no credibility. "Mr. James, i post on CIS 500 times a day, listen to what I have to say."

if you are a stakeholder and do contribute, they have to listen to and will listen to you. i am pretty sure Golden was the right man for the job until we overcame the NCAA investigation. i am also pretty sure he is no longer the right man for the job today, but i am not giving up my tickets/allegiance.
 
Hes always going to say the right things, most ADs are like that, everyone was saying how hayden fired lane before he even hit the plane but before that he was saying the same sh¡t to everyone, having said that if blake doesnt get rid of folden he is truely a sock puppet

They may listen to you, but they don't give a ***c what you have to say if it varies from "Go Canes" or "Al is a great coach" as long as you aren't donating huge sums of money. Trust me on this, they really don't care what the majority of Golden Canes have to say. Unless you are donating huge sums of money, you are deluding yourself if you think that your contribution gives you any say in the matter.

In fact, if you keep giving to UM despite the **** show they have put on the field for the last decade, you are part of the problem. Continued contributions are de facto ratification of this corching staff and **** show and they will continue with the status quo.

Great strategy. I hope you continue to visit the restaurant that serves you low quality food with low quality service. You'll show them who the boss is. Keep shelling out that money to show how loyal you are and they will eventually get the message that they need to change (sarcasm). Why didn't anyone ever think of that.

By withholding your money, they will listen to you. So if you donate to the program or buy tickets, STOP, and you will suddenly get their attention. Single individuals may not make a difference but if we collectively stop donating and buying tickets that has an impact.

At least you got a reply. I donate the minimum to get access to road tickets, CWS tickets, NCAA tourney tickets so the little I spend isn't worth their time apparently. Us fans 1500 miles away may not be the ones in the seats every Saturday but we are the majority of the fans.

You're right. An alum who has given up his season tickets for the first time after 13 years (which is a short time compared to some others) shouldn't have any credibility. I stuck with this program through the downward spiral of Coker and the **** show that was Randy Shannon. If that doesn't prove commitment, I'm not sure what will.

To me it's evident that this administration is not as committed to the fans as we are to the university. The only way to send a meaningful message is to stop contributing to the program.
