Discussion Board on M. Hoops

 

The following was dreamed up by Andrew Todres, but he would like this to be officially published by an editor for administrative purposes. Hence my byline and photo at the top. -Z.K.

Dear Readers,

It's your turn to write.

I've never really tried this directly before, but here it goes. I would like this post -- specifically the comments section of it -- to serve the sole purpose of providing you with an open discussion board to leave and respond to one another's thoughts, questions, and concerns over the state of the basketball program. Think of it as an extension of the town hall meeting, minus the athletic director and the basketball coach. I know many of you are very opinionated about Glen Miller and now Steve Bilsky in particular, as demonstrated by the comments left for my colleagues and me on the DP's main website. It would be more productive to get an actual discussion going on The Buzz comments section -- it's more interactive and allows me to share my thoughts and respond to you directly as well. Also keep in mind that while the people you want to talk about will likely not be contributing to this discussion board, there's a chance they will read it.

Please, try to keep your comments on point and constructive -- there is no need to smear anyone or bash people simply because you can hide behind the cloak of anonymity. I encourage you all to leave your actual names and emails instead of impersonating people. The goal here is for this to serve as a forum for meaningful and respectful discussion and debate. A civilized, thought-provoking discussion on this blog might be useful both to Penn fans and the basketball program that they support. If this works out well, we can also use this discussion format for other topics. I (and hopefully my colleagues, as well) will try to moderate and offer opinions or clear up confusion as I see fit, but the ball is really in your court.

Thanks,

Andrew Todres
