What some have said on Twitter:

Blake $tover:‏   The Ferry Era at Duquesne ends at a last second shot
 
Colin White‏:  [/url] bring back the glory days of Ron Everhart... *sigh* being a [url=https://twitter.com/hashtag/Duquesne?src=hash]#Duquesne fan sucks
 
Paul E. Schwartz‏:  Dick one has to be concerned with Jim Ferry of Duquesne! Blowing double digit lead and losing in last second essentially @ home
 
Josh Taylor‏:  If you're a Duquesne fan & you don't feel the knife twisting while reading this, you probably didn't have a soul to save, anyway.
 
Trey Daerr‏  Is it time for Chico Harlan to write another epic article to facilitate change with Duquesne Hoops?
 
Josh Taylor‏   Any other college hoops fan: "OMG OUR TEAM IS SO TERRIBLE" Duquesne fans: "Hold my beer..."
 
Josh Taylor‏   If anyone needs me I'll be cutting Duquesne highlights and then taking red hot pokers to my eyes. It's been fun, y'all...
 
Joe Napiecek‏  [/url]  [url=https://twitter.com/hashtag/Duquesne?src=hash]#Duquesne was just up 5 with the ball 15 sec left in the a-10 tournament. Game ended in regulation. I'll let you guess who won
 
John Perrotto‏   I hate to say this but I really think Duquesne would be best served by leaving the A-10 for a smaller conference. They can't compete.
 
Ian Kondrat‏   Story of Duquesne Basketball's 2016-2017 season= compete with good teams, blow a lead, and fail miserably #FireFerri
 
Steve DiMiceli‏    Feels like a fitting way for Ferry to potentially end his Duquesne career
 
Paul Zeise‏  Duquesne just finished the game on a 16-35 run and lost by one on a tip in with 1.5 seconds left...... so life is good!!!
 
Chris Strauss‏

Even by typical Duquesne standards, this one was impressive
 
Ricky Mellick‏   Duquesne just lost in the most duquesne way possible
 
Rich Donahue‏    Duquesne probably just had the most epic collapse I've ever covered and yet I saw it coming
 
Anthony Dunkel   Duquesne up 5 w/ 24 sec left: Gives up layup. Turnover. Gives up layup. Misses 2 FT's Give up 2nd chance tipin. You (profanity) suck Duquesne!
 
Pete Ash‏    Duquesne was up 5 with 24 seconds left and blew it? On their home floor (practically)? Woof.
 
Steve Vargo‏  The ending of that Duquesne - St. Louis game summed up the Dukes' entire season in one minute.
 
Andrew Prinzo‏   Idk who to complain to but Jim Ferry is a terrible coach so fix that Duquesne
 
Paul Gerardi‏  What a choke job for Duquesne basketball
 
Alex Stumpf‏   Duquesne's season ends in near poetic fashion: a 72-71 loss to SLU
 
Drew Casey‏   Duquesne chokes away a 5 point lead with just 24 seconds left. At least they can walk back to campus. Yikes. End of Jim Ferry?
 
Jordan Majewski‏   And Duquesne finishes off their total collapse
 
Karlo Zovko‏   Duquesne basketball is so bad I don't even know why I try and support them. Absolutely unreal.

Didn't Zeise JUST tell us why Ferry shouldn't be fired? Or am I confusing him with another columnist.

Correct wrote the apologist piece a couple weeks ago.

I have held off my email reply to him until now!
 

Seems like a good move now

Actually Zeise's email response to me was fairly lengthy and displayed a lot of knowledge about DU and it's recent and not so recent sad past. He is not some 22 year old cub  reporter stuck on the Duquesne beat.

Tejas, there's a difference between being familiar with the administrative problem and showing up at Palumbo and seeing the way the team plays, seeing the sparse crowds, and feeling the frustration that should be felt.

Exactly! He knows we stink, but has he been watching to see Ferry's very obvious shortcomings? I doubt it. He's likely been distracted by the circus at the other end of Forbes Avenue. I sure hope Harper is watching Pitt, and knows not to make the same mistake of bringing in some retread.
