Second time I've heard of Nasty Emails to BF

[Kitkat]

While I can understand why some fans were upset about Jesse's departure, there was no need for insulting emails here. On the other hand, those who emailed angrily about the five-game skid should go back and ponder the brutal nature of our early Big 12 schedule, which included the current national champion team and the team rated #1 this year. We were not exactly playing the Eastern Bulgarian School of Nannies.

When the team was 0-4 I sent coach a positive email. I basically said it's easy for many to be with you when times are good but TRUE CYCLONE fans are there even when times are tough.

+1 my friend.

To email Bill about the streak and complaining is wrong.
To question if all was in balance given the needs of all was fair since we seemed to be at a point of going differing directions.
Those who know the most would agree.
And to be clear, I am a strong fan of Bill.
However, now is the time to move on, grow and win.

I bet every successful major college athletic program has things like this happen during bad times. That said, it's still cowardly to say nasty things via e-mail. Don't e-mail something you wouldn't say straight to a person's face. I bet if most of these people would have thought about that, they might have backed down.

Kind of low to send nasty emails to a coach who has cancer and has been struggling this season. C'mon cyclone nation we're better than this.

I don't think that a few retards define cyclone nation.

Also, OP freak out much?

Great point! In the era of internet message boards, user comments on websites,etc, I think this a lot. If some of the people that sent those were face to face with these players, coaches, etc they wouldn't say the same things.

On a side note, I'm so glad many newspapers have made the comments section linked to someone's facebook profile. I was always shocked at people who make cheap shots/rude comments speculating on tragic things that happened to families, etc.

No . . why are you minimizing?

This man is struggling with CA (one is never cured of cancer it is controlled) . . . and you have cheap shot posters blasting away at one of our BEST coaches EVER at ISU. Why let these "fans" push him out the door?

I want BF to stay knowing we (the fans). . . will stick with him through his recovery . . .regardless of a down year or two.

JP has it right . . . total support.

I think it's really pathetic that some people think so much of themselves and their opinions that they would waste people's time with it....and no doubt, those same people would have a real hard time articulating those same feelings face to face with the coaches and JP.

That being said, are you always such a drama queen?

Frequently.

Okay . . watch the post Texas game video (ISU athletics site) . . . he speaks of nasty emails sent to Pollard and to him.

The various episodes of emails . . were sent during the "losing streak" and when one player quit the program.

He mentioned earlier in the season (given the losing streak and criticism) . . he would evaluate (his status) at the end of the season.

I was surprised to hear him mention it after the big Texas win (i.e. emails).

Surprised you haven't followed or heard of it.

All sent from Frau Bluder and her many alias email accounts

If you are sending nasty Emails to the most successfull womens coach ISU has ever had you really need to get a life.

Sounds very reasonable, but a little vague; I'm curious to learn more, is it possible for you to elaborate?

Do you guys think that BF is going to step down after this year? i sure hope not

To question if all was in balance given the needs of all was fair since we seemed to be at a point of going differing directions.

With all due respect, I have no idea what this means. Therefore I can neither agree nor disagree. Not that it matters.

I very much doubt it. I think he's one of those people who would be driven absolutely nuts by retirement.
