Chancellor Woodson Extended Interview

We hope that you and and all of the readers in our community took the time to read our Welcoming blog post and the commentary shared by our readers.

You can click here for the thread on our message board regarding Chancellor Woodson’s appointment.

“This is an exceptional University.”

“The reputation of this institution is very strong.”

“I like to win”

Nothing earth shattering here…but it is nice to see how natural and articulate he is. I spoke with a friend who attended Woodson’s formal announcement and cocktail reception last Friday and his first observation was how Woodson was able to make all of his comments without an ounce of prompting from notes; completely opposite from Jim Oblinger who never had enough natural conviction, confidence or ability speak straight from the inside.

Athletics are discussed after the six minute mark in this video if that is your only interest.

    “On a side note, I wish the monkey behind the camera could keep still.”

    Agreed. Though I was watching the blair witch project or paranormal activity for a while there.

    Woodson comes from Indiana and I’m sure expects basketball to do well. Purdue, ND, UI all expect to win and I’m sure Woodson knows how these schools fans feel. I’m also sure Woodson has had a lot of people express their concerns over athletics.

    As for Lowe, he has recruited some great young talent. Yes, it has taken a while to rebuild but he is rebuilding. Remember he was left with 6 players when he came 4 years ago and he will put players in the NBA. State SHOULD be on a 4 game win streak- Florida fluke, along with mistakes, Holy Cross win, UVa choke but Lowe didn’t miss the layups and FTs, and a FSU win. Include a narrow loss to Arizona this team is showing signs of improvement.

    Absolutely right, we’re improving. I still say this team is better than last year’s team. That’s not bad considering we lost three experienced and talented upperclassmen, all our top scorers, and replaced them with five true freshmen.

    I believe Gonzalez, Degand and Smith have all improved under Sidney. I imagine the group we have now in a couple of years, with more experience and similar improvement, not to mention the blue-chippers we have coming in added to the mix, and I can’t help be believe the future looks bright!

    And don’t mistake this for a WTNY post. I’m still not giving up on THIS year just yet.

    I’m pretty pumped about this hire. Looking forward to seeing what happens in the near future.
