I'm sure by now someone over at Athletics has clued you into this little site, and I don't doubt that a couple of folks have compared me to the Anti-Christ because of it. But fear not. I was the Anti-Christ before this site came up. Just kidding.

But with that out of the way, I would like to welcome you, well, back to Cleveland State. You no doubt have noticed that things have certainly changed since last you were here as a student. There are a couple of new buildings, and the State Assembly hates us, but what else is new?

With that said, I won't waste your time. You have become the AD. You have enough things to work on over there. I'll come straight to the point. I've read about the whole trying to work on the basketball attendance problem and how you'll go door to door if you have to.

You don't have to convince me. I'll be there with bells and a FireRollie.com t-shirt on. But say what you will about me. At least I'll be there. In Cleveland, I can say people have grown completely disinterested in Vikings hoops. And you did hit the nail right on the head. Winning has a lot to do with it.

However, so does the team. Last season, Rollie's gang rolled over and died, as if they wanted their coach to look like an incompetent boob. And even when they won, it wasn't anything spectacular. The whole CSU hoops experience was, to say the least, boring and mind-numbing.

To me, Rollie looks like a guy who would rather be hanging out on a Florida golf course with Phil Rizzuto, Tommy Lasorda or whatever other name he can drop than to be on the sidelines at the Convo. That's not progress. That's a reason to be fired.

And I'm not the only one who thinks so. After their Horizon League tournament loss to Detroit, I overheard conversations from CSU fans who were just waiting for Rollie to get axed. But it never happened. Why is that? Of course, you can't answer that just yet. You just got here.

Right now, men's basketball, particularly Rollie, is a giant anchor weighing down the rest of the Athletic Dept. Do us all a favor. Cut the anchor loose.

And, oh yeah, good luck.

Sincerely,
