THE LACK OF ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING DUQUESNE BASKETBALL IS HORRENDOUS.THIS SEASON
IS GOING TO START IN A MONTH AND NO SORT OF EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO GET FANS INTERESTED.THEIR IS NO INFORMATION IVE RECEIVED ABOUT TICKETS IN YEARS AND IM THIS FANATIC 
WHO WEARS DUQUESNE GEAR.i GO TO YHE GYM IN ,I GO OUT TO A LOT OF PUBLIC PLACES IN COLUMBUS AND I TALK DUQUESNE WITH FRIENDS.
WITH THE DUQUESNE LOGO ON MY SHIRTS AND SHORTS,WHEN NEWS COMES IN ABOUT THE TEAM I TALK TO MY SON IN LAW ABOUT DUQUESNE.iHAVE EDUCATED HIM,SENT HIM VIDEOS OF SI GREEN,DICK RICKETTS AND DUDEY MOORE MAKING APEARANCES ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW IN 1954,THE BRIEF HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 54,55 NIT CHAMPIONSHPS,PICTURES OF THE NELSONS PERFORMING BEFORE BIG CROWDS AT CIVIC ARENA.I TOOK HIM OVER FOR FIRST HOME GAME AGAINST RIDER AND WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD LAST YEARS TEAM PLAYED AND I REFUSED TO COME BACK FOR ANYMORE GAMES AND THEN I CHANGED MY MIND AND WE WENT OVER TO SEE DAYTON EMBARRASS THE DUKES AND IT WAS EVIDENT THE TEAM WASNT A TEAM,THE EFFORT TERRIBLE.
I THINK ABOUT THE LACK OF A GOOD TEAM BUT THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS INDIFFERENCE AND LACK OF PASSION.i DONT EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF SID BECAUSE HES A PUTZ AND ITS JUST A JOB
FOR EVEN DAVE HARPER.hE DID A GOOD JOB RAISING MONEY FOR NEW FIELDHOUSE BUT LACKS THE PASSSION TO GET THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT WORKING HARD AND THE INCIDENT WITH THE TRAFFIC JAM AFTER THE RIDER GAME AND YOU GO INTO FIELDHOUSE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE A MINI BASKETBALL AND EVERYONE AT FIELDHOUSE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT.ITS A CLOWN SHOW.
GETTING BACK TO SID,COMPARE THIS GUY WITH NELLIE KING.I WOULD WRITE A LETTER TO NELLIE AND I GOT A 4 PAGE LETTER FROM HIM GIVING ME INFO ON DUKES.NELLIE WAS THE BEST AND HE WAS PASSIONATE. THE FAVORITE DESCRIPTION TO GIVE DUQUESNE ATHLETIC DEPT IS INDIFFERENCE.
WHEN YOU ARE INTERSTED INA GIRL AND YOU THINK YOUVE FOUND YOUR SOULMATE.YOU ARE SELLING YOURSELF AND SHOWING HER WHAT LIFE IS GOING TO BE LIKE,SO YOU ARE PASSIONATE.
WHOEVER PROPOSED MARRIAGE OVER THE PHONE ,OR SENT A FORMAL LETTER FOR MARRIAGE.
dUKES NEED FANS AT GAMES PERIOD AND TICKET OFFICE NEEDS TO BE SELLING DUQUESNE WITH PASSION.DUQUESNE HAS NEVER IDENTIFIED ME,I GOT A COUPLE CALLS IN 1980S TO BUY TICKETS.
GUYS ATE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT NEED TO INVITE FORMER SEASON TICKET HOLDERS AND ALL THEIR FANS TO COME DOWN AND WATCH PRACTICES,TALK TO COACHES AND HARPER NEEDS TO GET A PLAN TOGETHER FRESH WITH NEW ENERGY TO GET DUQUESNE GOING.SPENDING ENERGY AND MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH OUR FAN BASE.GOING OUT TO CIVIC GROUPS IN AREA AND TALKING WHATS NEXT FOR DUQUESNE.I JUST HAD A DISCKECTOMY AND FUSION OF A COUPLE LUMBAR VERTEBRA AND IM
READY TO DRIVE OVER AND FOLLOW MY TEAM BUT I DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE NEW COACH
FROM CLEVE. STATE OR ANY OF OUR TEAM AND THE SPECIAL THINGS THEY DO. ALL I CAN SAY IS REMEMBER NELLIE KING AND ,SUCH A GREAT GUY,PERSONABLE AND OVERWORKED BUT DOING WHATEVER HE COULD FOR DUQUESNE, THATS IS SEVERELY LACKING,THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND
TRYING TO GET FOLKS INTO THE BUILDING TO WATCH DUKES IS LOOKING RATHER BLEAK IN MY OPINION.WHY HAS ST. BONA DOMINATED US,IS THAT SCHOOL ACADEMICALLY SUPERIOR,NO ITS THE
FAN SUPPORT THE BONNIES GET ,ITS THE FAN SUPPORT AT DAYTON AND ITS A PASSIONATE LOVE AFFAIR FOR THEIR TEAMS.YOU GOTTA MAKE A LOT OF EFFORT TO BRING DUQUESNE CROWDS BACK BUT YOU ARE GOING TO SHOW PERSONALITY,SHOW YOU GOTTA PLAN AND REJECT THIS INDIFFERNCE.ITS A LOT OF EFFORT BUT THE DEPT.  NEEDS TO RECRUIT FANS JUST LIKE GETTING NEW PLAYERS .YOU SHOW YOU CARE AND THAT IS LACKING ON THE BLUFF.MONEY IS IMPORTATANT TO RECRIUT PLAYERS,GET GOOD COACHES BUT MAKING SURE DUQUESNE FANS FEEL THE LOVE AND THAT INCREASING ATTENDANCE DETERMINES THE SUCCESS  DUKEKES REACHES FOR IN FUTURE.AND FIRST AGENDA IS GETTING RID OF NUMB CURRENT AD. pPATHETIC
 

So is there a resaon you made your (probably very good) post in "all caps" which makes it very annoying and tiresome to read?
 

They dont have a QB, at least thats what I see from my 30,000 ft view of that team.

Anyone hear the RMU ad on 93.7, starts off explaining how to get bball tickets for men and womens games, and they have free parking for bball games!   Goes on to talk about their football team schedule, and some other teams.   If RMU can do it, why cant DUQ?   93.7 will take any $ to run some ads, its all they do.
