My main point in bringing up W&M was to show how both schools hired former football players as coaches, and that for W&M, success was not realized overnight. It took time to get that program to the level it is now, and I think this speaks to the necessity for patience of the Ferrum fan....It will not happen overnight.Allen Crowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595099007495033722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098993612829095983.post-84881242260074731872010-12-23T13:48:52.424-08:002010-12-23T13:48:52.424-08:00Ferrum athletes aren't William & Mary athl...Ferrum athletes aren't William & Mary athletes. Big difference in the type of student/athlete recruited by these two schools. <br /><br />For that matter, big difference between the CNU athlete and the Ferrum athlete. For a student/athlete to gain admittance to CNU, he must have a 3.8 GPA and an SAT score above 1400 as a freshman. CNU may be a public school and yes, tax dollars will provide nicer facilities, but, tax dollars or not, there are not excessive "merit" scholorships to get kids in school.<br /><br />Recruit student/athletes not athlete/students. They'll stay at the school and build the program. May take a few years and a few losses but the long range forecast will be better health.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098993612829095983.post-27069957524604782412010-12-23T07:39:20.589-08:002010-12-23T07:39:20.589-08:00For the Listen response.

If you know defense then you would see that the offense can score but the defense was to complicated. Adams has built nothing. With the players he had last year they should have had a better record. Maryville showed how bad his coaching was. They should have blown Maryville out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
