Chesney hasn’t even left yet and many of you have him already gone. Hope he doesn’t actually read these things. If he does leave maybe he’ll be fortunate enough to go to school and program where the fans actually care more about sitting in the stands watching their great team then hanging out Tailgating through the entire game. Not to mention all the students that never make it into the game. And the kids drinking through the game in the parking lots which brings up other issues. The support for the team is poor. I’ve been to many other college environments while traveling for work and seeing student sections that are full and energetic. I was late arriving for a game one time due to a family commitment and while walking through the baseball parking lot , I witnessed a bunch of clowns, fully decked out in their Holy Cross gear with a Holy Cross ez-up, holy cross cups, table cloths, etc. listening to the game on the radio and cheering when they heard a good play, meanwhile, the game is actually going on not 50 yards from them. Pathetic. Way to support the team (and Chesney). And another thing maybe he’ll go to a school that actually has a band that you can hear during the game and before the game and after the game. I remember my father saying that that was one of the things that Rick Carter asked for when he came here years ago. I remember how great that was. There’s a lot of hypocrite HC fans. You want a great coach and you want a great team but the support doesn’t match that. As a whole, I feel like we don’t deserve Chesney or the team that we have had in recent years.

You might consider posting on the football thread. As for bad and unsupportive fans, I think you picked the wrong audience.
The vast majority here are huge supporters of Holy Cross football and Coach Chesney. However, many here, while not wanting him to depart, want the best for him and his family and a step up, as he might see it, we would not want to hold him back.
If he stays, most of us will be overjoyed.

I’m seeing speculation and then I’m seeing It’s a done deal, time to move on etc. No announcements, no facts. Seems a little ungrateful to Chesney. I personally would hate to see that.

Did you see the Holy Cross student section when we played at Boston College? 2 hour weather delay and literally 0 Holy Cross fans left the stadium. |

I understand this sentiment. Crossports is not supposed to be a "rumor board". One tweet from a guy named Seymour Butts with 75 followers has opened a big can of worms. That being said, there does seem to be some legitimate smoke that Ches is indeed a candidate. The news articles, the flights, etc. So tough to draw the line as far as what's in bounds and whats out of bounds as far as discussion. |

Interesting opinions on this thread, but why is this football issue NOT on the football thread??? It does not seem to have any connection to "rules." Can someone move it?

He’s a newbie and doesn’t know any better but to his credit, he moved it to the football thread. Let’s let this thread die from exposure.😂

Yeah, my wife and I were at the BC game and the army game. Letting it die on here but it seemed like a home game which was great. Wish we could have the same energy and crowd at Fitton Field.

Newbie. That’s funny. Been a while since I’ve been a newbie at anything. If being a lifelong Holy Cross fan in my late 50s makes me a newbie on this site then so be it. Ha ha.
