I am finally back on this forum, as ive used other names many moons ago. Few things. I recommend creating a Twitter account to both gather real time intel on current movement, transfers, etc. Also, to be able to tag the Universitys account to show our distain with how things are going in a "public" setting. Lastly, to show support to the players and coaches. These kids are on social media its part of their live. We need more people on twitter to retweet, follow, etc. our guys. Right now there is like 5 of us on Twitter.
Also, if you havent sought them out, there is also a podcast that covers everything HL. The HorizoneRoundtable. They just had a fan event where fans from each school verbally duked it out. Good stuff. Check them out. They can be found on Twitter as well.

I do have a Twitter, UD Commissioner, @ucommissioner. I don't use it much as I find Twitter a very dissatisfying place, for the most part, but I could try more and others could tag a few more posts. At least a few regular posters are also on Twitter--Mole, Karic, now you . All that's assuming I stay interested in the Titans. My allegiance wouldn't go elsewhere--just not sure I'm that interested in minor league U25 professional basketball. I'll keep this board going for everyone, but I don't anticipate the same commitment. When a hobby's not fun, you should cut back on it.

I'll keep this board going for everyone, but I don't anticipate the same commitment. When a hobby's not fun, you should cut back on it. For the past few weeks, I've been feeling the same way - contemplating my life without college basketball and the Titans. I haven't been happy about the direction of the program for the past few years and the past few weeks, with all the transfers and NIL stuff, have pushed me to the edge. It seems like we have no chance at all (and forget about an NCAA run) and the current staff is just going through the motions to get a paycheck. Every season resulting in "unrestricted free agency" where the Power 5 programs are the benefactors and we the fans lose the players we've grown to love (or would like to see improve and continue on our team)- it's just too much. I keep telling myself "if you don't get enjoyment from something anymore, then why spend so much time just making yourself feel miserable"... Sorry for the rant guys - It's been a tough couple of weeks

Same here. Ive been a fan since birth, my family runs deep as alumni. I, for one, am only holding onto a fraction of hope because Vowels is suspected to retire this summer. If we dont hit a homerun with a new AD in charge then count me out. I know its old hat but same goes for the name change. I cant stand Mercy in our athletic name. Its embarrassing when rivals and other schools use it as a tag or headline in their papers against us. The new President better be more transparent, goal oriented, and ready to deliver on some big tasks with a rebranding being priority one in my book.
The school also needs to be apolitical and worry more about its fiduciary needs and less about pleasing people. Without getting political (realize its hard to do when i brought it up), but i know large donors who took UD out of their will because the school leaned one way more than the other and made it very clear to this person.
Face it, we all might want to still live in fantasy land or believe we cant grief because the school is going down in flames, the fact is these are peoples opinions and perceptions. Perceptions are peoples realities in some cases. We see other schools in similar situations as us do better. We see an Oakland excel where we used to.
How do we fix this? Honestly, we have to demand more. Like the school demands more money, we need to demand more of what WE want.
Lastly, it may be time to look at replacing Coach Davis. I think hes lost his touch. We need a local guy. Someone who can win the local recruiting game and bring fans to games. EJ Haralson comes to mind as an example. Our Detroit Titans needs more Detroit.

I think the most interesting thing on Twitter right now is The Calihan Mole’s shocking entry into the fan transfer portal right before the deadline. Many fan bases want The Mole.

Mole’s 2.1 message posts per day would radically transform the Oakland fan board. That’s probably more than they typically get from all the Golden Grizzlies’ posters in an entire week.
