In response to Silver Maple
There is no breach of trust here. Pointing out flaws in a program that I'm attached to only serves to prove the point that I've endured how bad this was for 4 years. I never expected us to be great, just to actually attempt to make meaningful change in the direction of winning.
What you see is frustration. There is more than just not doing well, in fact Dartmouth has never been good. This is more akin to consistently failing and switching jobs and industries throughout your whole career without truly figuring out your core competencies. But yes, pin it on age! That always works well.
I've worked in/with the athletic department, count many of the players as friends, and am embedded in the student body. I can tell you if the players knew, they certainly dont care. I personally dont care if the coaching staff knows at all. Maybe come graduation, ill appear and provide all my details. But if you cant see the value that perspective brings then there is really a lost cause.
All of that being said, validating my existence to silver maple, a penn undergrad who is only connected through tuck is literally the furthest thing on my list of things to do. You think the team, the school, or the coaches read this forum? that's laughable. That would require them to care about public perception.
