Do you guys seriously think that the ladies on campus believe that? Do you ever wonder if they are laughing at you after they walk away?

No way!
I'm not buying it.

There are a lot of crazy names with different mascots... it's not a big deal.You're being evasive. You made a highly incredible statement as LU's mascot, and then you proceed to start a tasteless fire the coach group.
I said last night at the game that if we win I'll delete the facebook group. We didn't win.
If we make it to the NCAA tournament, I'll delete the group and apologize to Coach Dunton for making it.
As far as Stewart is concerned, I was actually routing for the guy when he played here, but it's hard for me to support him as he berates his ex-coach. Sadly, he's been overcome with some deep resentments regarding Dunton. It's a shame. He owes Dunton more respect than that. Afterall, It was Dunton, who gave Doug a chance to play D-1 ball in the first place.Obviously Doug had problems with Coach D (the two names could probably be reversed. Doug never peformed up to his capabilities) and he's not allowed to have a bad experience with the guy?

And if Doug carries his resentments to level that he has, then he opens himself up to a little criticism as well, especially since no one on this site has the nerve to defend Dunton.As far as Stewart is concerned, I was actually routing for the guy when he played here, but it's hard for me to support him as he berates his ex-coach.

They have every right to not defend Dunton as you do to defend him.
especially since no one on this site has the nerve to defend Dunton.I would disagree with that. There was a love-fest for RD after the Winthrop game. You've become so defensive to the defending of Dunton that you're missing the support that is being thrown his way. We all have our opinions of RD, some good and some bad. SJ has said it best, when he deserves praise, he'll get it and when he deserves criticism, it's coming his way. It's the nature of the coaching beast.[/quote]

It should in fact be denounced.

Nice try, but love-fest is hardly the case. And some the things said about Dunton on this site extend far beyond criticism. It's been unprincipled at times, to say the least.I'm not denying that. Some of the things said on this board have been extremely inappropriate and shouldn't have been posted. That doesn't speak for the rest of us.

regardless I don't really care what you think of me or liberty...you say you support the teams so fine...support the teams...you just should learn to think before you type
lureal wrote:paradox you are on point! remember that Proverbs 6 declares the wicked man sows discord and continues to pronounce that the Lord hates one who sows discord among the brethen. so yes dickens and others have attacked, misrepresented and lied about Coach D. and when they do that in a public forum they are opening themselves up. however the ultimate referee is keeping score. so as elicoolbreeze saw i believe coach will walk in faith of his God given vision for LU hoops. we all have the opportunity to use our keyboard and the way we handle our own business will not go unaccounted for by God's balance sheet.All I can say is Wow!!!!
The man went 2-1-2 out the gate had a down year like Coach K, izzo and calhoun are experiencing. now it looks like our program is stronger then ever as we move forward. the staff is is unified and the young talent is obvious. God bless the dunton's.
