No man is an island; Jonathan Smith needs help

184

OK, Smith has a big stadium remodel in the works. That may help recruiting, but what are the most important areas in which he needs additional help? And who might provide that help?

Would you like to see more involvement of guys like Erickson, Petersen, even Riley? How could they impact Smith’s performance? Maybe it’s more straightforward, just get the right fresh face on the staff?

Let’s hear your thoughts on what’s needed to move the W total to more than 6 or 7.  Will making the right hire for PAC commissioner have any impact?  And, how ’bout those bitcoin and oil charts?

Who is the 50 Million Donor?

238

There’s a list of maybe five people this could be. Anyone have insight into who it is? I’d take the info personally via email if you don’t want to say on the board.

50 mil seems like too much for our usual donor, the Resers. It made me wonder if it’s the finance guy or Nvidia guy. Seems one of these two is more likely.

Also, if they could afford 50 mil, why couldn’t they make a generous recurring, monthly donation to AB???

BASEBALL….What will it take to make y’all happy?

An unproven coaching staff, little national recognition, the return of Kevin Abel. How will you evaluate the coming season?

Give us an idea of what you feel constitutes an acceptable (or better) campaign.
Is it:
-only a nat’l championship will do
-finish in the top 3 of the PAC
-lead the league in DP’s, stolen bases, hit and runs
-sweep u of nike
-something else

The donate button is still up at the top of the page, if you find yourself here a couple times a week why not consider what Ripper said, ” a recurring monthly donation of a couple bucks won’t impact your lifestyle”…and it’ll help keep the site up.

Angrybeavs Shutting Down?

For anyone struggling setting up recurring donations. It is very simple.

Just click this link: http://angrybeavs.com/contact

Then click “Donate”. Then there will be an area to enter the amount. Right under that it says “make this a monthly donation”. Under that, you can decide how to fund the donation (credit, debit, etc). Any questions just ask.

Hey all,

It’s disappointing, but I lost my two largest donors in the past few weeks. Probably due to political talk. But the short of it is I have too much going on; I can’t work for free in any capacity. I simply don’t have the time. I wrote about this a year ago, and at the time got a dozen or more monthly donors. Things have only gotten more busy for me since then, so even less so can this fly now.

Now we have people complaining about the function of the site on top of this. It takes a lot of time to run the site in terms of creating content, backing up the site, updates, managing users, managing plugins, commenting, etc. People want me to spend more time developing a “block user” function and micromanaging a troll? I can’t.

So, I will be shutting down the site April 1st unless something changes. What I need is (a) the people who are donors to remain and (b) if you can donate monthly, please do. Need monthly donations, not one-time donations. This option is on the donation page. Under the amount it gives the option to make the payment recurring. We have hundreds of readers. If everyone donated a buck we’d be set forever (or at least until the hyperinflation).

So if you guys are willing to do that, I’m willing to keep the site open.

If not, it’s been a great run.
