Take this latest whine about LMU's all-access or whatever it's called. SMCGaels.com has been doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING for I-don't-know-how long. How can someone bellyache about not having something when it's right under his/her nose? Get a grip, for criminy's sake.Maye you had to be here in the 60s to understand really putrid athletic facilities, teams, coaches, administration, promotion, etc., etc. Whatever the reason, most of the belly-aching seems to come from more recent grads. What causes the inability to see the forest for the trees? To not appreciate that SMC teams in men's basketball, women's volleyball, men's and women's soccer and...almost, almost, almost...women's basketball are NATIONALLY RANKED? The men's soccer program just completed a season in which they made it to the Elite Eight in a sport not even offered when I was a student. That is a mind-boggling accomplishment, and adds Coach Cooper to a distinguished list that already includes the twin RBs (well, they're not really twins but are dynamite coaches) and the marvelous women's tennis coach. I know she's good because Freak tells me so, and I believe him.That snide comment about replacing Mike Samuels is a perfect example. What does the poster know about what's going on with that search? Maybe they're being careful, maybe the salary allotted isn't sufficient to hire a top candidate (Mike was brought up through the ranks), maybe a million things. Instead of giving the college the benefit of the doubt, however, it's much easier to snap off a semi-witty crack and admire the handiwork. It's so tiresome it makes my teeth ache.
