New link of GU article

Hello Gallaudetians and fellow Deaf community-


I believe that we have been very confused or fooled by Gallaudet Board of Trustees during the New President Search Process. I talked to few sources of mine, that they informed me that they never used students and faculty and staff for suggestions or ask them for ideas of candidates who would be perfect for the Gallaudet President Position.

Then when the announcement came and they selected Dr Alan Hurwitz as 10th President of Gallaudet University.

heres the link of this article that Hurwitz confessed to Deafnation, that he turned GU down 3 times till 4th time that he talked to the BOTs and PSAC.

DN: What was the turning point that made you decide to become a candidate for the presidency of Gallaudet University?

Hurwitz: The PSAC had contacted me three times already, but by the fourth time, I had a good talk with the search consultants and, eventually, with the PSAC chair. I was told it was not just the presidency of a university, but truly a call to national service. That impacted me, having been former president of the National Association of the Deaf. Gallaudet has a rich history and I’ve always been familiar with the university.

Hello

Hello Gallaudetians and GU community-

Im back home for weekend of 4th of July in Wa state, im proud of our boys working hard in summer workouts so far getting ready for this football season! i have copy of 2009 schledule but will scan it later and post it tmw.

2009 football season will be very crucial to Gallaudet's future for 2010 and beyond in recuriting and other things. I know Hottle has done enough damage to Football program and GU athletics deptartment. Its going to be struggle to fix this and we need to prepare a fundraiser for a new Fieldhouse its our dream to have new fieldhouse and new athletic complex on Gallaudet University campus because we need to get elite deaf athetes to go to GU for education and athletics at same time and enjoy the collge life because we have to win games and try to win d3 championships. we need to prove to hearing people and sports world, that we can play like other people.


will post the 2009 schledule with my analysis tmw

Gallaudet atheltics status

Hi Gallaudetians and fellow Gallaudet athletics fans and Gallaudet Community-

i just am not impressed with the way Coach Edward Hottle's recuriting and we lost an superstar recurit in Ryan Bonheyo that we sorely needed to help improve our program for future in future recuriting and we need elite deaf-all americans and football players that can help us develop the program that we need to be in division 3.

The Deaf sherlock and rest of alumni and i arent happy with the progress with GU football under Mr Hottle. we need to get new coach and we need to get many people involved in this peititon that we can force Board of Trustees to realize Gallaudet needs new assistant athletic director and new Head football coach that can improve Gallaudet University and its football program.

i am not happy that mr ryan commerson has been still on campus like i expected him to be gone sooner than expected but i hoped that we d be have peace and let the new president process begin but it looks like Eric Holder is in DC and is being attorney general and Gu is being jeopardized by Holder's spot as Attorney General and we arent happy abt that and obivously alumnis need to realize this is time to save our university that we love from that issue and we need to convince Board of Trustees to prevent another protest in next future..

Please join us!

DeafSPORTS Manger is BACK!

Hi Gallaudet Community-

Hello guys sorry i have been absence from this blog. im glad to say im all right and busy with my family life and personal stuff going on my life. Sadly that GU football season went badly this past fall and Coach Hottle didnt help his cause a lot with Gallaudet Alumnis and students that we went 2-8 in 2nd d3 season of Gallaudet University football program in NCAA division 3 existence.

Hottle has 4-20 record in d3 play plus 18-6 in club play. thats what d3 counts as a record and he had issues with players and everybody at the univeristy because GU has a lot of standards that has to be accountable to students and staff and faculty and Board of Trustees.

Board of Trustees must do something abt the status of Coach Hottle and the direction of GU football and let Athletic Director Micheal Weinstock dicatate his own way of directing intercollegiate athletics at Gallaudet University and hire his own coach and let the new head coach hire his capable coaching staff and can recurit elite deaf football players to the university that can fit academically and have fun as student at GU as a student athlete.


I m worried abt future of Gallaudet University football program as alumni.

Gallaudet update

Hello Gallaudet Community-

Our football team has endured 2 tough losses since opening day loss vs Hiram in Overtime. Tonight the Bison will take chartered busses to Massachusetts to play Becker College on Saturday at noon. I expect the boys to play hard and tough for 60 minutes of full four quarters of football or more depending how the game is going.

I hope the veterans and rookies pull together as a team to pull this victory for us this weekend so they can have confidence heading into next week game vs SUNY Martime in New York City near Throggs Park. if they can get 2 out of 3 current road trip as wins they can get this season as positive and head into November on a positive attiude. and Hope they can get confidence as season goes on.

I know that off-season will be different for GU football program because i bet the athletic director and Gu alms would want a deaf coach to lead this program into future years and bring back drum traiditon and bring GU Blue traditional helmets back and recurit best deaf players from deaf schools or mainstream programs and have off-season conditioning program and good caoching staff.


Lets believe in those boys for 2008!

Gallaudet Game # 1

We didnt do very well on offense and defense like we the fans would had liked. But we did battle tough in the OT game vs Hiram College from Ohio in a tough weather and i expect the team to make signficiant improvements from Game 1 to Game 2 vs St Vincent's College from PA. I expect former Bison Head coach Colbert will have his team ready for the game but we need to keep focused on each play, each down, each quarter of the game. I want to emphasize to the boys of the football team "BELIEVE" we need to believe in our selves and can win many d3 games and represent the Gallaudet community that well.

I hope coach Hottle does let kids play with their strengths not let coach have input in the coaches game plan we beat SVC last year but St vincent will have revenge on mind.

I will inform you this week's news as the week progresses before Sat afternoon's game. Come out to Hotchkiss field at 1pm to see Bison battle St Vincent's College.

"BELIEVE in BISON" for Fans
