because no one gives a **** about women's basketball, and quite frankly if they were good, I still probably wouldn't go to any games.
If they hire Van Chancellor, I would go to maybe one game.
Our women's basketball is an example of what would happen at MSU if no one cared about sports.
The other thing about Fanning is that she actually is our most successful women's basketball coach. Our titty basketball history is dreadful. I'm not saying that we couldn't do better or that she shouldn't be fired, but in the simple mind of LT, I could see where he would say something like "she's the best we've ever had, why fire her?"
I don't know how Byrne will react, I think if enough fans think that we could do better, and that's expressed to him, I'm sure he would at least consider a change. But, from my perspective, if we fire her, we need to make a real commitment to being good, and that is going to require fans to at least show up at the games. And to be honest, I'm not real sure that we have enough fans that are willing to make that commitment. Yes, winning will help, but it's going to take a lot of marketing and promoting to if we want to be a serious contender in the SEC. I'm just not sure that I can see that happening.
