FIFY.

Would JP allow any correspondence with donors and season ticket holders that he did not approve?So relax. It isn't some personal insult to Pollard to say he probably didn't write this himself, because it's still "him" talking. And in fact, it would be high praise to his staff that it was so well-written that people think Pollard did it himself.
I'm sure it's a block letter that someone handwrites and uses an autopen on or something.Would JP allow any correspondence with donors and season ticket holders that he did not approve?

Rhetorical, yes.Is that a rhetorical question? Because I said earlier in the same post that he certainly would have approved it, because it's going public under his signature.
Win 40% of conference games, get a statue.
We have been season ticket holders for 18 years and that may end not because of how the season ended but because my wife has missed games during the last two seasons due to health issues. I hope the end of the season doesn't impact season ticket sales.Dude smells donation and ticket troubles.
you're suppose to sing kumbaya at all times.Ok now I am curious. What have you seen that is "ugly"?
Not to mention, nothing on this board is actually meant for Steve Prohm's eyes. Or Jamie Pollard's for that matter. It's fans having discussions with other fans. If Pollard is ticked off that people on a message board are having a conversation about whether Prohm is doing a good job his skin may be a bit too thin.
Rhetorical, yes.
If it is so damned easy how come we didn't have a hell of a lot more of them before our recent success?
Good point. Exactly twice prior to the 2010s, dating back to Big 8. I couldn't tell you how many 1-and-out trips we've had without looking in the archives.
It does annoy me when fans use "conference tournament title" interchangeably with "conference championship," but acting like it isn't worth mentioning annoys me almost as much. Even worse -- winning it somehow happens only at the expense of regular season success/winning NCAA Tournament games. As if there's only so much in the bucket.
Winning the conference tournament beats not winning it. Let's leave it at that.
As of now, the way to get an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament is to win the conference tournament. The winner of the tournament is officially the Big 12 champion as far as th NCAA bid is concerned.Good point. Exactly twice prior to the 2010s, dating back to Big 8.

Ellen?This was perfect. So lucky to have Pollard
My simple request to each of you is to never lose your passion and desire to want the best for our program
While I don’t like how Jamie promotes Jamie, I agree on this point. He does do the little things like this well.I've received hand written notes from JP thanking me for random $100 donations. If you don't think he wrote that letter i'd guess you probably don't have the full measure of that man.

Haha! Would have taken me at least a day or two!Sure, why not? How many hundreds of hours would it take to compose a letter like this?
