Fellow Rocket fans, I don’t say this lightly, but: boycott the game in Detroit. Don’t buy tix, don’t go to the game. This isn’t about “supporting the team” and “being a good/real fan”. This isn’t about the team-/this is about saving the PROGRAM. A program that before Candle, was at least in the verge of becoming one of the top 5 G5 programs in the country, but now loses to bad teams every season. EVERY season.

Those results should speak for themselves, but we have an ambivalent university president & a wishy-washy, uncertain new AD. They need to see visible indicators of what we feel. The only thing they seem to understand & care about is $$$, which flows from a fan base, so let’s start sending the message now. Sure, we can wait until a lame duck Candle goes 3-9 next season, but then the damage done to the PROGRAM we all love could be unlike what we’ve seen since Gene Cross put our basketball program on life support.

If this PROGRAM has any hope of regaining the glow & luster of the past, Candle needs to go now. Unfortunately, the team will be collateral damage.
