Congrats to NP and nice to see HC having some real input into FCS decisions. Nice compliment in the release: "at Holy Cross, where he has revitalized the athletics program and transformed the athletics culture to put the Crusaders back into the national consciousness."

A bit hyperbolic and certainly written by someone not completely objective.
I believe that the culture in the athletics department has transformed but we're still in the national unconsciousness with an occasional flash in the consciousness of the average sports fan.
But in a world where perception is reality, perhaps building that perception through constant repetition will bring about the reality.

I think young Pine is trying but some of the self-congratulatory back-slapping is a bit off putting imo. We may be getting there but we ain't there yet in a lot of ways.

One might think that we won the League's Presidents Cup or whatever we call it

Probably worthy of a short announcement to keep people informed but "third Vice President?" So, does that mean next term he becomes the 2nd VP and the following term the 1st VP and then the term after that becomes the president? That's a long way off even if one year terms. He will be long gone from Holy Cross before he ascends to the presidency. But at least he is one of the many VPs!

This year's football and basketball results will be a good indicator one way or the other. Mate has been here awhile. Positive results should be on the way.

The baskeball results from two years ago were "a good indicator". "Positive results" have already been seen.

How about .500 in each football and basketball?

Taking nothing away from the tournament championship of 2 years ago, even CWC said to remember that we lost many more games than we won that year and last year was a major disappointment as most people's expectations were raised. Losing Malcolm might have meant more than we thought it would.
Now, let's see if the team can exceed expectations this coming season as expectations are much lower.

And to share some Milan Brown insights (looks like he is still COC assistant):
C'mon, admit it, you all miss him!

Not in the next 2-3. Beyond that I have no crystal ball. You?

This year's football and basketball results will be a good indicator one way or the other. Mate has been here awhile. Positive results should be on the way. Totally disagree.
First basketball - I'm sure the majority here knew/suspected as far back as a year ago that 17-18 was going to be a rough go. I hate the word 'rebuilding' but this season we'll lack leadership, experience and physical balance.
Second football - Pine has chosen to give Gilmore more rope than he has in other coaching evaluations. Gilmore MUST show dramatic improvement on several fronts to produce a clear winner ( minimum 7 wins ! ) this season.
Carmody is a veteran proven winner while Gilmore is not.
