That happens in lots of gyms. There is always metal of something, just unavoidable in basketball arenas. TMC is very safe, I assure you. I go to practice there a couple of times a week and never saw anyone get hurt by what you are concerned over.

I can't believe I agree with you on another subject. Twice in one day!

I was a ticket owner the first year and most of what you said is truth. Jane Meier was the AD, but she had nothing to do with the games being played in Regents Hall. It was a VP named Zeb Davenport, Dr. Votruba, Les Crooks and Ken Ramey who orchestrated that deal and made NKU play in Regents Hall so the Bank of Ky. could host the circus. It was not Jane. Jane was strong-armed and forced into going along with a dirt deal. I admit $$$ spoke in this case, because the circus had huge crowds. But the NKU administration sold its soul in this case at the expense of the young men and women they recruit and tell how important they are until money talks. I do know Scott's son was a manager for Louisville at the time. I do not know if there was a connection with the large amount of money NKU paid Louisville, it was a DH with the women that night, which BOKC Wildcat conveniently left out. None of that excuses the current NKU administration if this is the truth about this year. I also disagree with you about Ken Shields being the next AD. I think he is a good person, but probably not a good choice at this point in his life with all the stress of being a College AD. I am with you 100% the guy they have now as AD is a joke, but he just reflects the President who is running NKU into the ground. One of the saddest comments I heard at a alumni function two weeks ago is NKU is becoming a laughingstock in Frankfort because of Geoff Mearns, that we are closer to being Kentucky State than UK. That says it all, and is very sad.

The NKU women won as well and had a nice crowd. I say at least two thousand or over. Lots of students in attendance, great night for the Lady Norse and Norsemen!

More great news today is that Thomas More College Women's Basketball is 21-0 and looking to go unbeaten in the regular season for the second straight season. They are one of the best Division III teams in the nation. Thomas More has the best player in Division III in Boone County graduate Sydney Moss. Sydney is about to be the National Player of the Year for the second straight year. The Saints are in position to win it all this season and deserve more attention than they are getting locally. Jeff Hans is a great person and a fantastic coach. Good luck in the tournament!

I was at the NKU Hall of Fame Induction Lunch today and the 2008 Women's Basketball National Champions were honored and inducted as a team! Great to see many of the ladies after several years! Coach Nancy Winstel did one of the most remarkable jobs ever that season for NKU as they won the NCAA Division II National Title. Coach Winstel is already in the Hall of Fame as an individual, and her 2000 NKU Team also won the National Championship. Great job ladies!

Real funny. Scott and Jen gave years of good service and donated lots of time for free to help promote NKU, yet you take shots at them because they made mistakes. Scott is really a good person who tried to handle too many things in his role as AD. One day he will get to explain his side of the story, which has been one sided by the press. He worked more hours than any one in that entire department while employed at NKU. Yes his judgment was bad, but he is a human being. Have you ever done anything wrong, BOKC Wildcat? I do not understand the fuss about Jen and her situation, she paid back any money to NKU and lost her job. They go after Jen for having her family go on the trip with her, yet they allow the NKU AD to take his wife on basketball road trips. Who is paying for the AD's wife's hotels, flights and meals? Sam with Jen, only they did not give the Dance Team a decent budget to work with like Ken Bothof has. Jen is no different than him in that instance. Just my two cents on your sinister humor re: Scott and Jen dancing in Regents Hall.

Does Bobby Petrino help the U of L Volleyball Coach recruit?

It appears to me as if mice and MOLES named BOKC Wildcat are infesting the Bank of Kentucky Center. You are a mouse for bashing women behind a keyboard, and a MOLE for revealing all this information you probably sneak around getting while on the clock working for SMG. In other words, if NKU gets an exterminator, hopefully they come over and see you as well, BOKC Wildcat. Sorry to be harsh, but your leaking info to the public learned while on the job for SMG is sinister. First to admit I take it hard when I see women's sports bashed because of attendance, but you take the cake. Hopefully the exterminator will rid the Bank of Kentucky Center of you, Coach P. and that AD too. Then again, I am a dreamer and an optimist.

He better not be right. If he is . . .

Ask former assistant Coach Gabby Johnson about how "great" Coach P. is for NKU. Gabby is a great young lady who Coach P. sent packing without even telling her. She even had her new assistant coach move into Gabby's office while Gabby was still working there. Ask around to those in the "Lady Norse" family about Coach P. Ask about Michele Cottrell's number 22 jersey while your at it and what went on there to allow a current player to wear it. You might change your opinion of Coach P.

I had no intention of bringing up Title IX as that is not applicable to where they play. My point is who cares how many people are in the stands? You make an issue out of it and single out the women. Why don't you bring up the small crowds the men draw? From looking at some of your past posts on other threads, it's all about bashing the women's crowds. I attended the men's game against UC Clermont two months ago and there weren't 500 people in the stands. Yet I was at the women's game last Saturday and I know there were over a thousand in attendance. If your point about mice and asbestos is anywhere near accurate, the women better not play in Regents Hall later this season or there will be enough lawsuits from fans and players parents to fill up The Bank of Kentucky.

I am sick of hearing about the women's sports bashings by NKU haters and want to respond. I played for Coach Scroggin on the first Lady Norse teams years ago and the women were always treated great by the staff and professors. Women's Basketball and Volleyball were better than Men's Basketball by far when NKSC started sports for women. To hear this man/woman BOKC Wildcat continually speak negatively about NKU Women's Basketball attendance is childish. Women's sports at NKU were established to provide opportunities for young women and a path for a college education, not crowds. Who cares about the crowd? Whether it's 100 people of 10,000, it's still a game. I find it also offensive the current NKU administration has chosen to move a women's game to Regents Hall and not the men's as well. Believe me when I say I am not a fan of the current NKU Women's Basketball Head Coach because I think she is all wrong for this campus, but that is another topic. I still can not believe they moved a ASUN conference game to that broken down dump Regents Hall. NKU's Athletics Director Ken Bothof made a big mistake by letting the Bank officials sign something else, agreed to play on a Sunday and then Kennesaw State said no, we want to play on Saturday. They had a contract, but the NKU AD refused to fight of our school and the Women's Head Coach agreed to play in Regents Hall. So playing in Regents Hall is on both the AD and Head Coach. They have allowed NKU Women's Basketball to take a back seat. Marilyn Scroggin Moore, Jane Meier, Nancy Winstel would never have allowed such to happen. I feel sorry for the girls as well. So quit bashing women and learn the facts BOKC Wildcat.
