The following comment was posted in this thread directed towards couple of BN moderators:

I'll bet either one of you $500 that Howland doesn't get fired this year. You guys are so blind with your hatred that you can't even see the good job he is doing with this team. He is close to winning the PAC12 and heading into the conference tournament with at least a 4 seed. The Bruins will make the NCAA tourney and no one in their right mind would fire a coach under these conditions. You are both complete idiots. Now please ban me from posting further since I called you out. By the way if either of you are in SoCal let me know where you will be and we can meet up for a "discussion" . You F-ing idiots.

It has been taken off the thread because we do not want to expose the guy who issued this threat. But we wanted to share it here to archive just a sample of kind of threats we often get from supporters of Howland and Dan Guerrero. In last few days we have received other emails threatening this kind of violence.

Not a good sign for a particular side of any argument when that side has to resort to these kinds of threats of physical violence. Folks probably think that these kinds of threats will chill the commentary on this blog. Not going to happen.
